Raj No. 83, Jalan Burhanuddin Helmi 2, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Author email address: [email protected] Abstract: The main Beris Dam is founded on a sequence of thick bedded conglomerates and pebbly to fine grained sandstones with minor mudstone mapped as the Semanggol Formation of Triassic age. Ultrasonic pulse measurements show velocities of compressional and shear waves through the sandstones to increase with decreasing grain size; the pebbly sandstone with velocities of 2.210, and 5.171, km/s, and the coarse grained sandstone with velocities of 2.477, and 5.612, km/s, respectively. The medium grained sandstones have compressional and shear wave velocities of 2.457, and 5.793, km/s and the fine grained sandstones, velocities of 2.572, and 5.867 km/s, respectively. Dynamic elastic constants computed from the ultrasonic velocities also increase in values with decreasing grain size; Poisson’s ratio varying from 0.36 to 0.39, the modulus of elasticity from 35.076 to 48.210 GPa, the bulk modulus from 52.260 to 67.362 GPa and the modulus of rigidity from 12.637 to 17.468 GPa. Increasing velocities and elastic constants with decreasing grain size are considered to result from a denser arrangement of constituent grains as shown by increasing dry unit weights. Comparison with the results of an unconfined compression test on a fine grained sandstone indicate that the ultrasonic elastic constants are good approximations of static elastic constants. Keywords: Ultrasonic pulse velocities, elastic constants, Semanggol Formation INTRODUCTION audible range are used in determination of the velocities, Properties of rock material are usually only considered the calculated constants are termed ultrasonic elastic from the point of view of their reaction to static stresses, constants (ASTM, 1976; AIT, 1981). It is to be noted that i.e. the stresses to which a structure in rock would normally these ultrasonic constants, and wave velocities often do be subjected.

INTRODUCTION This paper concentrates mainly on how Malaysia, a country composed of many races and religions, creates and enforces its laws in order to sustain the peace that has lasted more than half a century. I have recently retired as a judge, so my view on this subject is from a judge’s perspective. Malaysia is located just north of the equator, about halfway around the world from Utah. It is geographically divided into two main regions by the South China Sea. These two regions are the Peninsula Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak. Peninsula Malaysia was known as Malaya, but in 1963, the British colonies

ISBN No: 978-967-5526-13-8 Design by: Siti Nur Fathirah Adnan FOREWORD Assalamualaikum w.b.t. and salam sejahtera. “Adventure and Ecotourism” is a relatively new tourism market in Malaysia. This sector has great potential for expansion particularly in this modern era where people are more concern of living a healthy life style and being close to nature. For example, ecotourism used to cater to a small niche market. But ecotourism has grown rapidly over the past 20 years and is now at par with the main stream of the tourism industry. Based on that notion, the Faculty of Forestry took the initiative to organize the 1st International Conference on Adventure and Ecotourism (ICAE) 2014 at Mount Jerai, Kedah. The conference aimed to provide an avenue for academicians, stakeholders, practitioners and the public to gather under one roof to discuss pertinent issues in the field of adventure and ecotourism.

  • Chapter II the Method of Appointment of Judges to the Superior Courts of Malaysia Under the Federal Constitution and the Judicia
    Chapter II The Method of Appointment of Judges to the Superior Courts of Malaysia Under the Federal Constitution and the Judicial Appointments Commission Despite the fact that the question of performing judicial functions independently by judges comes after their appointment, the method of appointment of judges is the crucial and dominant factor to ensure their substantive independence, the independence which greatly depends upon the independent character, integrity, equanimity, legal knowledge and keen intellect of the persons who would hold the office of judges. For, the appointment of a judge on account of political allegiance in utter disregard to the questions of his qualifications, merit, ability, competency, integrity and earlier performance as an advocate or judicial officer may bring in, to use the words of President Roosevelt, ‘Spineless Judges’ who can hardly be expected to dispense justice independently according to law and their own sense of justice without regard to the wishes and desire of the government of the day. There is a great possibility that such a judge may remain ‘indebted to those responsible for his designation ...., the beneficiary is exposed to the human temptation to repay his debt by a pliable conduct of his office’137 especially when the executive itself is a litigant. As H. J. Laski aptly said, ‘It is not necessary to suggest that there will be conscious unfairness; but it is .... possible that such judges will, particularly in cases where the liberty of the subject is concerned’, find themselves unconsciously biased through over-appreciation of executive difficulty...’138 Therefore, ‘in appointing judges, a government owes a duty to the people ..

  • 2 Geology of Peninsular Malaysia
    2 GEOLOGY OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA 2.1 INTRODUCTION Peninsular Malaysia has traditionLlly been subdivided into NNW-SSE longitudinal belts on the basis of stratigraphy, mineralisation, geological structure, geological history and tectonic evolution . Scrivenor (19:;8) subdivided the Peninsula into three elongate belts on the basis of mineralisation: a western tin belt, a central gold belt and an eastern tin belt. Hutchison (1977) divided the Peni isula into four major tectonic subdivisions on the basis of different tectonic histories; the '1Vestern Stable Shelf, the Main Range Belt, the Central graben, and the Eastern Belt. Fo ) (1983) divided the Peninsula into four zones on the basis of differences in stratign phy. Khoo and Tan (1983) proposed a threefold subdivision; a Western Belt, Central Belt and an Eastern Belt on the basis of differences in stratigraphy and geological histoi y within Peninsular Malaysia. Within this threefold subdivision, Khoo and Tan (1983' further divided the Western Belt into two regions: a northwest sector and a Kinta-Ma acca sector. Tjia and Harun (1985) recognised four structural domains within the Peninsula. They defined Northwest, West, Central and Eastern structural domains. Within all the above subdivision schemes, the boundary between the eastern and central "belts" is taken as the Lebir Fault 2 one, and the boundary between the central and western "belts" is the Bentong-Raub line of Hutchison (1975). As previously stated (Chapter 1.5.2), Metcalfe (1988) proposed that Peninsular Malaysia consisted of two continental terra les, a western Gondwanan affinity continental terrane (Sibumasu) and an eastern Cathaysian affinity continental terrane (Indochina/East Malaya) Chapter 2: Geology of Peninsular Malaysia (Fig.

  • Class and Politics in Malaysian and Singaporean Nation Building
    CLASS AND POLITICS IN MALAYSIAN AND SINGAPOREAN NATION BUILDING Muhamad Nadzri Mohamed Noor, M.A. Political Science College of Business, Government and Law Flinders University Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 Page Left Deliberately Blank. Abstract This study endeavours to deliver an alternative account of the study of nation-building by examining the subject matter eclectically from diverse standpoints, predominantly that of class in Southeast Asia which is profoundly dominated by ‘cultural’ perspectives. Two states in the region, Malaysia and Singapore, have been selected to comprehend and appreciate the nature of nation-building in these territories. The nation-building processes in both of the countries have not only revolved around the national question pertaining to the dynamic relations between the states and the cultural contents of the racial or ethnic communities in Malaysia and Singapore; it is also surrounded, as this thesis contends, by the question of class - particularly the relations between the new capitalist states’ elites (the rulers) and their masses (the ruled). More distinctively this thesis perceives nation-building as a project by political elites for a variety of purposes, including elite entrenchment, class (re)production and regime perpetuation. The project has more to do with ‘class-(re)building’ and ‘subject- building’ rather than ‘nation-building’. Although this thesis does not eliminate the significance of culture in the nation-building process in both countries; it is explicated that cultures were and are heavily employed to suit the ruling class’s purpose. Hence, the cultural dimension shall be used eclectically with other perspectives.

  • Th ADVOCACY SKILLS SEMINAR
    10 CPD POINTS th ADVOCACY SKILLS8 - 9th April 2017 - Boulevard SEMINAR Hotel, Kuala Lumpur Advocacy is the art of persuasion. Most law schools teach this subject but only to a certain level due to limited time and lack of experienced teachers in this practical field. Thus, this subject is often left to individuals desiring to do “court work” to devise their own proficiency. But before you can develop your own skill, you must know some basic fundamental rules, guidelines and practises as well as the pitfalls and the narrow alleys to avoid. Many are left to learn these from their seniors but unless these seniors are themselves well honed in the craft, it is most likely a case of “the blind leading the blind” or the acquisition of a skill that is incomplete or unrefined. This seminar intends to enlighten participants to not only the basic skills of advocacy but also to the finer points and techniques often missed, overlooked and neglected or perhaps forgotten by trial lawyers. Speakers for this seminar comprises of current Judges, retired Judges and senior practising advocates. Some of those from the Bench had been active advocates before their elevation. By virtue of their experience, they have an added advantage of being able to identify common errors and mistakes committed by advocates appearing before them. They will be highlighting these and rendering suggestions and proposals to overcome them. This is one seminar that should not be missed by anyone who wishes to advance his or her advocacy skill. It is meant to enlighten you not only to the basic foundation of this craft but also share with you the various techniques that can be adopted into a winning style of your own.
