  • Active Tectonics in Sabah – Seismicity and Active Faults Felix Tongkul
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 64, December 2017, pp. 27 – 36 Active tectonics in Sabah – seismicity and active faults Felix Tongkul Natural Disaster Research Centre (NDRC), Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Email address: [email protected] Abstract: The location of Sabah near the boundaries of three major tectonic plates, the Eurasian, India-Australia and Philippine-Pacific plates, makes it prone to seismic activities. Sabah is currently under a WNW-ESE compressive stress regime due to the effect of plate movements as the Philippine-Pacific plate move westward at the rate of about 10 cm/ year against the southeast moving Eurasian plate at the rate of about 5 cm/year. The WNW-ESE compression is being accommodated by NE-SW trending active thrust faults and NW-SE trending active strike-slip faults present all over Sabah. Evidence of active faults based on geomorphological features, such as linear structures associated with triangular facets, stream offsets, mud volcanoes and hot springs are widespread in Sabah.The WNW-ESE compression resulted in regional folding or warping of the upper crust to produce an uplifted belt trending NE-SW in Western Sabah, currently occupied by the Crocker-Trusmadi Range. The warping and uplift of the upper crust is thought to be driving extensional tectonics, marked by the presence of NE-SW trending active normal faults along the crest and flanks of the Crocker- Trusmadi Range anticlinorium. At least six elongate Quaternary graben-like basins (Tenom, Keningau, Tambunan, Ranau, Timbua and Marak-Parak) occur along the crest of the anticlinorium.

  • Internalization and Anti Littering Campaign Implementation
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 85 ( 2013 ) 544 – 553 AcE-Bs 2013 Hanoi ASEAN Conference on Environment-Behaviour Studies Hanoi Architectural University, Hanoi, Vietnam, 19-22 March 2013 "Cultural Sustainability in the Built and Natural Environment" Internalization and Anti Littering Campaign Implementation Haijon Gunggut*, Chua Kim Hing, Dg Siti Noor Saufidah Ag Mohd Saufi Universiti Teknologi MARA, Locked Bag 71, 88997 Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Abstract This paper seeks to account for the variations in implementation progress of the Anti-litterbugs Campaign in Sabah. A total of nine local authorities were studied. Data was mainly obtained from interviews, observations and written sources. The variation in the Campaign implementation progress can be explained in term of campaign internalization among local authority top leadership. Internalization is reflected in the understanding of the campaign and priority of local government top leaderships observed in their actions, choice of words and activities. In addition, the structure of the local authority also influenced implementation progress. © 2013 The Authors.

  • Conservation Area Management Plan
    FMU10: CAMP VER. 2 1. SITE CONSERVATION CONTEXT OF FOREST MANAGEMENT UNIT (FMU 10) 1.1 Objective of the FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2 Under the mid – term review as documented under the Revised Conservation Area Management Plan (CAMP) for FMU 10, which was approved by the Chief Conservator of Forests Sabah (formerly the Director of Forestry) in the year 2013, a new set of CAMP has to be prepared by the Management Planning Core Team (MPCT) including the Resource Persons Group (RPG) for FMU10 towards the end of 2016. This new document, also known as the Second Revised CAMP for FMU10, is referred to as FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2 (FMU10: CAMP Version 2). The rationale and management objectives of FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2 is as follows: 1.1.1 Area, Site’s Name and Location: The whole of the FMU 10 (Tambunan) is located in central Sabah, between longitude E 116o 21’ 13. 8” and E 117o 01’ and latitude N 5o 27’N and 5o 52’N. For management and identification purposes under this FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2, the area and the site’s name is known as the Forest Management Unit Number 10 or FMU10 (Tambunan). As of December 2016, the FMU10 consisted of the Nuluhon Trusmadi Forest Reserve with a total size of 74, 736 hectare (ha) and the Sg. Kiluyu Forest Reserve with a total area of 1, 068 ha. Both are Class 1 (Protection) Forest Reserves, with a total size of 75,804 ha. In late 2016, an area totalling 12,241 ha was excised out from the neighbouring Trusmadi Forest Reserve (FMU 5: Class II Forest Reserve) in Ranau.

  • The Kimanis By-Election: a Much-Needed Sweet (Manis) Victory for Warisan
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 3 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore |16 January 2020 The Kimanis By-election: A Much-needed Sweet (Manis) Victory for Warisan Lee Poh Onn and Kevin Zhang*1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 18 January 2020, a by-election will be held for the parliamentary seat of Kimanis in Sabah. The Federal Court has upheld the Election Court's ruling that Anifah Aman's victory in the 14th General Elections (GE14) was nullified by election discrepancies. • This by-election is seen as a referendum on the Warisan state government’s performance over the past 18 months since replacing the Barisan Nasional (BN) after GE14, and the outcome would have some impact on Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal’s standing. Warisan-PH and BN had won an equal number of state seats, but Warisan formed the state government only after the defection of some BN state assemblymen. At the Federal level, the Pakatan Harapan government sorely needs a victory in Kimanis to reverse the trend of by-election defeats it has suffered over the past year. • Warisan began the election contest on a stronger footing but it is shaping up to be a close fight. Both candidates, Warisan’s Karim Bujang and UMNO’s Mohamad Alamin, have strong political experience in Kimanis. • Bread and butter issues matter greatly to Kimanis residents who mostly suffer from low incomes and poor infrastructure. Warisan is on the defensive against the BN’s claims that the state government has failed to bring economic uplift to the area.

ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT Article History: This study focused on the engineering geological investigation of slope failures along Penampang to Tambunan road, approximately 12th km to 101th km from Kota Kinabalu city, Sabah, Malaysia. The area is underlain by the Crocker Received 12 November 2017 Formation (Late Eocene to Early Miocene age) and the Quaternary Deposits (Recent age). These rock units show Accepted 12 December 2017 Available online 1 January 2018 numerous lineaments with complex structural styles developed during several regional Tertiary tectonic activities. The tectonic complexities influenced the physical and mechanical properties of the rocks, resulting in a high degree of weathering and instability. The weathered materials are unstable and may experience sliding due to by high pore pressure and intensively geomorphological processes. In this study, a total of 31 selected critical slope failures were studied and classified into two main groups: rock slope and soil slope.
