  • 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.

  • A Study on Trend of Logs Production and Export in the State of Sarawak, Malaysia
    International Journal of Marketing Studies www.ccsenet.org/ijms A Study on Trend of Logs Production and Export in the State of Sarawak, Malaysia Pakhriazad, H.Z. (Corresponding author) & Mohd Hasmadi, I Department of Forest Management, Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra Malaysia 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia Tel: 60-3-8946-7225 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study was conducted to determine the trend of logs production and export in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. The trend of logs production in this study referred only to hill and peat swamp forest logs production with their species detailed production. The trend of logs export was divided into selected species and destinations. The study covers the analysis of logs production and export for a period of ten years from 1997 to 2006. Data on logs production and export were collected from statistics published by the Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (Statistic of Sarawak Timber and Timber Product), Sarawak Timber Association (Sarawak Timber Association Review), Hardwood Timber Sdn. Bhd (Warta) and Malaysia Timber Industry Board (MTIB). The trend of logs production and export were analyzed using regression model and times series. In addition, the relation between hill and peat swamp forest logs production with their species and trend of logs export by selected species and destinations were conducted using simple regression model and descriptive statistical analysis. The results depicted that volume of logs production and export by four major logs producer (Sibu division, Bintulu division, Miri division and Kuching division) for hill and peat swamp forest showed a declining trend. Result showed that Sibu division is the major logs producer for hill forest while Bintulu division is the major producer of logs produced for the peat swamp forest.

  • Two New Monophyllaea (Gesneriaceae) Species from Sarawak, Borneo
    Phytotaxa 129 (1): 59–64 (2013) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2013 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.129.1.6 Two new Monophyllaea (Gesneriaceae) species from Sarawak, Borneo RUTH KIEW1 & JULIA SANG2 1Forest Research Institute Malaysia, Kepong, Selangor, Malaysia; e-mail: [email protected]; 2Botanical Research Centre, Sarawak Forestry, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Two new species, Monophyllaea grandifolia Kiew & S.Julia and Monophyllaea meriraiensis Kiew & S.Julia are described from limestone hills in Ulu Merirai, Tatau District, Sarawak. Descriptions and photographs of the two species are provided. Key words: limestone hills, Malaysia, Monophyllaea subgen. Monophyllaea Introduction Sarawak is the center of diversity of Monophyllaea R.Brown (1838: 121) being home to 16 of the 24 currently known species (Burtt 1978, Weber 1998, Kiew 2002). In Sarawak the highest number of Monophyllaea are on limestone hills in the Kuching Division (8 species) and on the Melinau limestone (8 species) in Gunung Mulu National Park, with only the widespread M. merrilliana Kraenzlin (1913: 168) occurring in both areas. The remaining species is found on Bukit Sarang, an isolated limestone hill in the Tatau District. Exploration of the Ulu Merirai limestone, also in the Tatau District (02o 46′ 13.7′′ N, 113o 39′ 02.9′′ E), resulted in the discovery of two new Monophyllaea species, as well as five new species of Begonia Linnaeus (1753: 1056), Begoniaceae (Kiew & Sang 2009) and a new species of Amorphophallus Blume ex Decaisne (1834: 366), Araceae (Boyce & Hetterscheid 2010), indicating that this is an important, though still little known, limestone area in Sarawak.

  • Palace Tours − Luxury Tours Collection Into the Heart of Borneo Into the Heart of Borneo
    Palace Tours − Luxury Tours Collection Into the Heart of Borneo Into the Heart of Borneo Join Palace Tours on an unforgettable 9−day cruise journey on the Rajang River into the lush rainforests of Borneo, the third largest island in the world. Though the name is familiar to many from Redmon O’Hanlon’s classic Into the Heart of Borneo, there is very little tourism here due to the river’s remoteness and lack of facilities. There is much to do and see upriver, whether just gazing at the amazing scenery or visiting traditional and modern Iban long houses. In these river towns, you can explore the architectural vestiges of the Brooke Raj, and experience jungle treks and longboat trips as your journey continues to the Pelagus Rapids. Wildlife is in abundance and crocodiles, monitor lizards and the hornbill (national bird of Sarawak) are common sights. Downriver, the prosperous Chinese city of Sibu with its old shop houses, markets and friendly inhabitants, is a calm reflection of old China. At Sareiki, enjoy visits to pepper farms and exotic fruit plantations, and experience textile production at the sea port of Thanjung Manis. ITINERARY • Day 1 − Arrive in Sibu and board your cruise ship You are met upon arrival at the airport in Sibu, a bustling Malaysian port city set close to local markets and temples. Transfer to the cruise ship and settle in to your comfortable cabin. The afternoon is yours at leisure to explore the town on foot with its attractive streets of old Chinese shop houses, redolent of Malacca or Penang but without the tourists.

We conducted a 15-month study in two Malaysian villages to determine the effect of habitat on vector populations in understudied high-altitude, high-incidence districts. Anopheles mosquitoes were sampled in human settlements, plantations and forest edges, and screened for Plasmodium species by PCR. We report the first An. donaldi positive for P. knowlesi. This potential vector was associated with habitat fragmentation measured as disturbed forest edge:area ratio, while An. balabacensis was not, indicating fragmented land use could favour An. donaldi. Anopheline species richness and diversity decreased from forest edge, to plantation, to human settlement. Greater numbers of An. balabacensis and An.
