Borneo Biomedical Bibliography 148 Index to place names This index can be used to determine particular areas, river systems, settlements, and political divisions identified in reports. However, the location of small study sites is not always clear in the references, and the ethnic groups studied at the site may be unnamed or misnamed. The index is organized by large divisions, from north to south: Brunei, East Malaysia (with subdivisions of Labuan, Sabah, and Sarawak), and Kalimantan (with subdivisions of East, West, Central, and South), followed by locations outside of Borneo. Where possible, the index entry is: place name—group name(s): list of numbered references. For example, under Sabah is listed Ranau, Kg. Sayap—Dusun #10. While in many cases, more than one ethnic group lives at a named place, only groups mentioned in the bibliographic entries are listed in this index. Broad geographic entries are generally less specific as to resident ethnic groups and hospital studies may not name them at all.

  • (Myrtaceae) from Borneo
    Gardens' Bulletin Singapore 57 (2005) 269-278 269 New Tristaniopsis Peter G.Wilson & J.T.Waterh. (Myrtaceae) From Borneo P. S. ASHTON Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, 22 Divinity Avenue Cambridge MA 02138, U.S.A. and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AB, U.K. Abstract Three new species, Tristaniopsis kinabaluensis P.S.Ashton, T. microcmpa P.S.Ashton and T. wbiginosa S.Teo ex P.S.Ashton, and three new subspecies, Tristaniopsis kinabaluensis ssp. silamensis P.S.Ashton, T. merguensis ssp. tavaiensis P.S.Ashton and T. whitiana ssp. monostemon P.S.Aston, are described from northern Borneo, in preparation for a treatment of the Myrtaceae for the Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak. Introduction Species definition in Tristaniopsis Peter G.Wilson & J.T.Waterh. (formerly Tristania R. Br.) has proven to be even more difficult in Borneo than among the notorious and much larger myrtaceous genus Syzygium Gaertn. Leaf size and shape is variable. The number of stamens, which are clustered opposite the petals, is characteristic of each species but, although at most 10 per cluster, may vary in exceptional cases. Here, we adopt a conservative species concept, awaiting regional monographic and phylogenetic research. Eventually, and with further flowering collections, some at least of the infrapecific taxa described here may be raised to species rank. All specimens examined have been at the Kew herbarium unless otherwise stated. 1. Tristaniopsis kinabaluensis P.S.Ashton, sp. llOV.

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

  • English for the Indigenous People of Sarawak: Focus on the Bidayuhs
    CHAPTER 6 English for the Indigenous People of Sarawak: Focus on the Bidayuhs Patricia Nora Riget and Xiaomei Wang Introduction Sarawak covers a vast land area of 124,450 km2 and is the largest state in Malaysia. Despite its size, its population of 2.4 million people constitutes less than one tenth of the country’s population of 30 million people (as of 2015). In terms of its ethnic composition, besides the Malays and Chinese, there are at least 10 main indigenous groups living within the state’s border, namely the Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Bisaya, Kelabit, Lun Bawang, Penan, Kayan, Kenyah and Kajang, the last three being collectively known as the Orang Ulu (lit. ‘upriver people’), a term that also includes other smaller groups (Hood, 2006). The Bidayuh (formerly known as the Land Dayaks) population is 198,473 (State Planning Unit, 2010), which constitutes roughly 8% of the total popula- tion of Sarawak. The Bidayuhs form the fourth largest ethnic group after the Ibans, the Chinese and the Malays. In terms of their distribution and density, the Bidayuhs are mostly found living in the Lundu, Bau and Kuching districts (Kuching Division) and in the Serian district (Samarahan Division), situated at the western end of Sarawak (Rensch et al., 2006). However, due to the lack of employment opportunities in their native districts, many Bidayuhs, especially youths, have migrated to other parts of the state, such as Miri in the east, for job opportunities and many have moved to parts of Peninsula Malaysia, espe- cially Kuala Lumpur, to seek greener pastures. Traditionally, the Bidayuhs lived in longhouses along the hills and were involved primarily in hill paddy planting.
