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. -

Malaysianisation and the Barlow Boustead Estates Agency
Malaysianisation and the Barlow Boustead Estates Agency Rob Glew and Chander Velu Institute for Manufacturing Department of Engineering University of Cambridge Abstract The Malaysian government’s approach to soft nationalisation through the New Economic Policy did not involve coerced sale of foreign investments in the country. The Government formulated its policy on an ‘expanding cake’ theory, where the prospect of gains from economic growth would be offset by the loss of control by the sale of equity to local and indigenous investors. This study examines the complex corporate divestment undertaken by a major foreign-owned agency house in Malaysia, the Barlow Boustead Estates Agency (BBEA) in response to the New Economic Policy. Documents in the Barlow family archive at the University of Cambridge reveal how the Malaysian government’s policy of reducing foreign ownership in the economy led to competition among foreign investors to retain ownership up to the allowable limits. Such competition created an unattractive environment for foreign capital and eventually led to ‘default nationalisation’. The owners of BBEA were eventually opted to sell to Government-backed institutional investors, although they had no legal obligation to do so. Keywords: Malaysia, Nationalisation, Business, Palm Oil, Plantation, Foreign Investment Forthcoming in the Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1 Introduction The nationalisation of foreign owned businesses under Malaysia’s New Economic Policy (NEP), the affirmative action programme has received a lot of attention among scholars (Gomez 2009; Gomez and Jomo 1999). However, how foreign owners reacted and took decisions to comply with the nationalisation rules of ownership has been scarce in the extant literature. -

This is a claim by the plaintiffs for breach of confidence and/or passing off. The action concerns a car park system, described as the Intelligent Car Park System (the ICPS), which the plaintiffs claim to have created and developed. Information relating to the ICPS, alleged to be of a confidential nature, was given by the plaintiffs to the defendants and it is claimed that the latter had made use of the information in breach of their duty of confidence and had further sought to pass off the ICPS as the defendants own system. Background facts 2. The plaintiffs, Stratech System Limited (Stratech), are a public-listed company incorporated in Singapore, whose principal activities are the design, development, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of advanced technology systems. In 1998, in anticipation of a public tender by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to design a car park system that would replace car park coupons, Stratech created and developed the ICPS. The tender was eventually not proceeded with. Briefly, the ICPS is a computer-based system which automatically monitors, records and controls the entry and exit of vehicles from a car park. -

Guthrie's 'Dawn Raid': a Malaysian Nationalistic Coup?
Guthrie’s ‘Dawn Raid’: A Malaysian Nationalistic Coup? Abstract In the wake of the recent mega plantations merger in Malaysia (Kumpulan Guthrie Berhad, Golden Hope Berhad and Sime Darby Berhad) and the controversy over Bumiputra corporate equity, the historical event known as the ‘Dawn Raid’ acquires a new relevance in the ongoing debate about Malaysia’s New Economic Policy (NEP). Thus, this paper examines Permodalan Nasional Berhad’s corporate takeover of the Guthrie Group on the 7 September 1981. The takeover of the premiere British-owned agency house by a Malaysian parastatal and its ramifications have received little academic coverage despite the Dawn Raid’s economic significance in the context of the history of developing economies. Discussion of the Dawn Raid triggers a poignant debate on the subject of economic nationalism, national sovereignty, and Bumiputra corporate equity participation and whether such moves to strengthen sovereignty and local equity participation form a pre-requisite for developing economies, or whether they are in fact rooted in antagonism and ultimately hinder economic growth. This paper attempts to trace the impact of the event on an emerging economy, as well as on post-colonial relations between Britain and Malaysia. Furthermore, this paper, through a detailed account of the landmark event, sheds light on economic nationalism in Malaysia during the 1970s and 1980s, and details the consequences of the NEP and of social and economic restructuring in a post- colonial situation. Four perspectives are drawn upon while dissecting the motivations for the Dawn Raid and its impact on the Malaysian economy. The first perspective is from a nationalist and in particular an economic nationalist viewpoint (Hobsbawm, 1992; Mayal, 1990; Holmes & Meir, 1983 and Wheatsheaf, 1986). -
