The Bentong–Raub Suture Zone Journal of Asian Earth Sciences 18 (2000) 691–712 www.elsevier.nl/locate/jseaes The Bentong–Raub Suture Zone I. Metcalfe Asia Centre, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia Received 7 February 2000; accepted 25 July 2000 Abstract It is proposed that the Bentong–Raub Suture Zone represents a segment of the main Devonian to Middle Triassic Palaeo-Tethys ocean, and forms the boundary between the Gondwana-derived Sibumasu and Indochina terranes. Palaeo-Tethyan oceanic ribbon-bedded cherts preserved in the suture zone range in age from Middle Devonian to Middle Permian, and me´lange includes chert and limestone clasts that range in age from Lower Carboniferous to Lower Permian. This indicates that the Palaeo-Tethys opened in the Devonian, when Indochina and other Chinese blocks separated from Gondwana, and closed in the Late Triassic (Peninsular Malaysia segment). The suture zone is the result of northwards subduction of the Palaeo-Tethys ocean beneath Indochina in the Late Palaeozoic and the Triassic collision of the Sibumasu terrane with, and the underthrusting of, Indochina. Tectonostratigraphic, palaeobiogeographic and palaeomagnetic data indicate that the Sibumasu Terrane separated from Gondwana in the late Sakmarian, and then drifted rapidly northwards during the Permian–Triassic. During the Permian subduction phase, the East Malaya volcano-plutonic arc, with I-Type granitoids and intermediate to acidic volcanism, was developed on the margin of Indochina. The main structural discontinuity in Peninsular Malaysia occurs between Palaeozoic and Triassic rocks, and orogenic deformation appears to have been initiated in the Upper Permian to Lower Triassic, when Sibumasu began to collide with Indochina. During the Early to Middle Triassic, A-Type subduction and crustal thickening generated the Main Range syn- to post-orogenic granites, which were emplaced in the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic. A foredeep basin developed on the depressed margin of Sibumasu in front of the uplifted accretionary complex in which the Semanggol “Formation” rocks accumulated. The suture zone is covered by a latest Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous, mainly continental, red bed overlap sequence. ᭧ 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • A Case Study in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
    Geographical Review of Japan Vol. 61 (Ser. B), No. 2, 191-211, 1988 The Agricultural Development of Hill Stations in Tropical Asia -A Case Study in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia- Shigeru SHIRASAKA* There are many highland settlements known as "hill stations" or "summer resorts" in Southeast Asian countries under the tropical and subtropical climate. The hill station is not a native institution, but one developed during the nineteenth century by the British and Dutch colonial masters in order to make sojourns in a foreign land more comfortable. In southern Japan, the worst period is from June through August, though its intensity does not compare with that farther south. In Malaysia and Indonesia, the period extends throughout the year. The Cameron Highlands is the most famous hill station in Peninsular Malaysia being one of colonial origin. The Cameron Highlands is located between 1,000 and 1,500 meters above sea level on the main range of central Malaysia. Today, the Cameron Highlands is mainly a summer resort, but it is also a very important mid-latitude vegetable growing area. The development of the Cameron Highlands began only after 1926, though it was discovered by, and named after, William CAMERONin 1885. Almost simultaneous with the opening of the Came ron Highlands as a hill resort was the growth and development of vegetable farming by farmers of Chinese origin. There are also three new vegetable farming settlements developed after World War II. Some 47 per cent of the inhabitants of the Cameron Highlands are Chinese Malaysian, and they shoulder the vegetable growing business.

Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

  • Laluan Csr Raub-Bentong Jangka Dibuka Masa Terdekat
    LALUAN CSR RAUB-BENTONG JANGKA DIBUKA MASA TERDEKAT BENTONG, 24 APRIL 2021: Laluan Raub ke Bentong, Projek Lebuhraya Central Spine Road (CSR) sepanjang 34 kilometer (km) dijangka akan dapat dibuka kepada orang ramai dalam masa terdekat. Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kerja Raya, Pengangkutan dan Kesihatan Negeri Pahang, YB. Dato’ Sri Norolazali Sulaiman berkata, namun pembukaan itu tertakluk kepada beberapa perkara teknikal berkaitan. “Jadi kita harapkan jajaran ini boleh disiapkan segera dan kita jangka boleh dibuka dalam masa terdekat ini. Saya harap sebelum sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri boleh dibuka. “Cadangan untuk kita buka jalan ini adalah daripada persimpangan Bentong ke persimpangan FELDA Mempaga dan keluar di simpang Kampung Keruntum berhampiran FELDA Lurah Bilut dan selepas itu akan keluar balik ikut jalan lama. “Kiranya pengguna yang nak ke Kelantan atau Raub atau Lipis akan masuk dari persimpangan Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT), kemudian keluar di persimpangan Jalan Utama Mempaga (FT1498) dan masuk masuk balik ke Jalan Kuala Lumpur - Gua Musang (FT08) di Kampung Asap sebelum FELDA Lurah Bilut, tidak melalui bandar Bentong,” katanya. Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas Program Lawatan Kerja Ke Projek Central Spine Road (CSR) Pakej 5 : Raub ke Bentong, di sini baru-baru ini. Beliau berkata, pembukaan laluan sepanjang 34 kilometer (km) ini dijangka dapat memberi manfaat kepada pengguna jalan dengan mengurangkan masa perjalanan mereka. “Seperti yang kita tahu, jalan Bentong ini bila trafik sesak, pengguna boleh tersangkut sampai berjam lamanya terutamanya bila musim perayaan. “Kita harap dengan pembukaan pakej 5C dan 5D ini dapat memberi pilihan alternatif kepada orang ramai untuk perjalanan mereka lebih cepat dan selesa,” katanya. Laluan CSR bagi laluan Raub ke Bentong ini sepanjang 54 km keseluruhan adalah merupakan sebahagian daripada enam pakej CSR yang menghubungkan Kuala Krai, Kelantan dan Simpang Pelangai, Kuala Lipis sepanjang 350km.

  • Socio Economy Gap Analysis of Local Communities in District of Bentong, Pahang
    International Journal of Academic Research in Economics and Management Sciences 2016, Vol. 5, No. 3 ISSN: 2226-3624 Socio Economy Gap Analysis of Local Communities in District of Bentong, Pahang Kamal Kenny, PhD El Sheila Kanavathi DOI: 10.6007/IJAREMS/v5-i3/2247 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJAREMS/v5-i3/2247 Abstract: Over the years, the infusion of private and public entity roles in the context of the socio-economic development of Malaysia is deemed viable as reinforced by the need to address the socio-economic gaps and demands of the local community. These undertakings will more likely provide several important ideas that would suffice related and relevant literatures, which will be used for the creation of better socio-economic growth in Malaysia. The passage from under-development to development means that several inter-related processes occur simultaneously. In an economic sense, development entails the transformation of simple subsistence economies into complex monetary economies. In the process, an increase in the proportion of products that is sold or exchanged and a decline in the proportion of consumption may take place concurrently. The study was carried out to determine the socio- economic demands and gaps of the local population and suggest assistance and interventions required. The overall results of this study reveal the challenges faced at the community level in the District of Bentong in the context of social and economy. This study was carried out via a structured survey throughout the district involving 300 respondents and also complemented with a Focus Group Discussion carried out with key stakeholders.

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.
