  • Risks of Climate Change on the Singapore-Malaysia High Speed Rail System
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 5 August 2016 doi:10.20944/preprints201608.0045.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Climate 2016, 4, 65; doi:10.3390/cli4040065 Review Risks of Climate Change on the Singapore-Malaysia High Speed Rail System Sazrul Leena Binti Sa’adin 1, Sakdirat Kaewunruen 2,* and David Jaroszweski 3 1 Malaysia Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), Ministry of Transport, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; [email protected] 2 Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, The University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK 3 Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education, The University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-1214-142-670 Abstract: Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and many of the observed changes are unprecedented over five decades to millennia. Globally the atmosphere and ocean is increasingly getting warmer, the amount of ice on the earth is decreasing over the oceans, and the sea level has risen. According to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the total increasing temperature globally averaged combined land and surface between the average of the 1850-1900 period and the 2003 to 2012 period is 0.78°C (0.72 to 0.85). But should we prepare for such the relatively small change? The importance is not the mean of the warming but the considerable likelihood of climate change that could trigger extreme natural hazards. The impact and the risk of climate change associated with railway infrastructure have not been fully addressed in the literature due to the difference in local environmental parameters.

  • My Retrospective on ASEAN
    My Retrospective on ASEAN Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo The Philippines hosted the ASEAN Summit in Cebu, Phi lippines, in January 2007, when I was President of the country. At that Summit, we declared our strong commitment to accelerate the establishment of an ASEAN community by 2015. It was a pivotal period in ASEAN’s development. Maphilindo I would like to think that ASEAN had a forerunner in the brief Maphilindo union founded in a Manila summit in 1963 among Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, when my father, Diosdado Macapagal, was President of the Philippines. He was then reviving the dream of a united Malay race which went back much earlier, to Filipino heroes like Wenceslao Vinzons in our 1935–1940 Commonwealth period under American tutelage, and the father of Filipino nationalism himself, ‘The Great Malay’ Jose Rizal. 55 My father believed that after centuries of colonial rule, the three Malay countries should work together on ‘Asian solutions for Asian problems’, following the Musyawarah principle of mutual consultation. Indonesian President Sukarno helped flesh out this vision during frequent trips to Manila, and Malaya’s Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman later came on board. At the Manila summit, the three declared that initial steps should be taken towards the establishment of Maphilindo by holding frequent and regular consultations at all levels, to be known as Musyawarah Maphilindo. The summit statement also enunciated what might well have been ASEAN’s own tenets: ‘This Conference ... has greatly strengthened the fraternal ties which bind their three countries and extended the scope of their cooperation and understanding, with renewed confidence that their governments and peoples will together make a significant contribution to the attainment of just and enduring peace, stability and prosperity in the region.’ Though Maphilindo was short-lived, the dream lived on.

Diliman Campus, Quezon City 1101 ABSTRACT: An existing airport requires a length extension of its runway to meet increased air traffic demand. The extension places the runway termini to be along the coasts. This paper discusses the methodology applied to address the likely coastal flooding at both termini, which are tracked by typhoons. The approach hinges on the quantification of storm tide levels and local wave effects induced by historical typhoons. Aviation clearance requirement and sediment stability around the seawall toe are also addressed. It is found that the required minimum non-overtopping seawall elevation is highly influenced by historical storm and by local seabed features. Keywords: coastal flooding, runway, seawall, overtopping, typhoons, engineering INTRODUCTION With a growing demand for inter-island trade, commerce and tourism, the Philippines is building new or upgrading existing transport infrastructures in major islands. One of the existing airports needs an extension of its runway length to meet the growing domestic and international demand for air travel to Boracay Island, which is famous for its tropical beaches and marine recreation, and as a popular “sun and beaches” destination of Philippine tourism. The airport is in the northern tip of Aklan Province, which hosts the nearest seaport gateway to Boracay. The existing runway has a length of 950 m and runs southwest-northeast (Figure 1) is designed to serve only small-capacity propeller airplanes from major cities such as Manila and Cebu.
