S.* Introduction Whenever we lose our way in the forest we are always faced with two paths to choose from-the right path and the path ofspirits. A Jah Het Orang Asli saying. By the very tales we tell we doom the natural tropical world we love and its inhabitants. [Hecht and Cockburn 1990: 13] This paper deals with two themes which appear to be interconnected in the present-day controversy about forests. The first is concerned with general relationships between man and the forest and is examined with reference to case studies of communities in Malaysia. The second is the relationship between forest-dwellers and spirits, which is examind by study­ ing beliefs about spirits ofthe forest and how such beliefs are meaningfully related to each other in the conceptual world ofsome selected groups ofpeople. Although the main focus is on Malaysia, it is hoped that the study has some relevance to communities in other parts of the world as well. Forest-Man Interactions Man's interaction with the forest has a very long history. Although this is generally true for most communities allover the world, scholars are not in agreement as to exactly how long this has been [Denslow and Padoch 1988].

Received 30 September 2017; accepted 27 February 2018; available online 1 August 2018 DOI: https://10.30880/jst.2018.10.02.005 Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB), the primary cause of morbidity and mortality globally is a great public health challenge especially in developing countries of Africa and Asia. Existing TB treatment involves multiple therapies and requires long duration leading to poor patient compliance. The local people of Kampung Peta, Endau Rompin claimed that local preparations of some plants are used in a TB symptoms treatment. Hence, there is need to validate the claim scientifically. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate the in vitro anti-mycobacterial properties and to screen the phytochemicals present in the extracts qualitatively. The medicinal plants were extracted using decoction and successive maceration. The disc diffusion assay was used to evaluate the anti-mycobacterial activity, and the extracts were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard chemical tests. The findings revealed that at 100 mg/ml concentration, the methanol extract of Nepenthes ampularia displayed largest inhibition zone (DIZ=18.67 ± 0.58), followed by ethyl acetate extract of N. ampularia (17.67 ± 1.15) and ethyl acetate extract of Musa gracilis (17.00 ± 1.00). The phytochemical investigation of these extracts showed the existence of tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, and steroids.

Received 28 June 2011; accepted 5 August 2011, available online 24 August 2011 Abstract: The sanitary landfill plays an important role in the framework of solid waste disposal. A liner is a very important component in the landfill as a barrier to leachate migration into the environment. If the landfill system is not well managed it will contaminate the soil and ground water, thus presenting a risk to human and environmental health. The objective of this study is to investigate the natural soils properties at Endau-Rompin National Park (PETA), Johor that are suitable as a compacted soil liner. There are two locations of soil sampling i.e. Kampung Peta (KP) and Nature Education and Research Centre (NERC). The soil samples were taken to geotechnical and Environmental Engineering Laboratory UTHM for analysis of soil characteristics and its chemical compositions. The tests were sieve analysis, particle size analyzer, Atterberg limits, specific gravity, and X-Ray Fluorescence. The results revealed that the natural soil properties are capable of meeting the criterion and suitable to be used as a compacted soil liner for sanitary landfill.

  • Limits of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Malaysia: Dam Politics, Rent-Seeking, and Conflict
    sustainability Article Limits of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Malaysia: Dam Politics, Rent-Seeking, and Conflict Peter Ho 1, Bin Md Saman Nor-Hisham 2,* and Heng Zhao 1 1 Zijingang Campus, School of Public Affairs, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China; [email protected] (P.H.); [email protected] (H.Z.) 2 Department of Town and Regional Planning, Universiti Teknologi Mara, Cawangan Perak 32610, Malaysia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 November 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 14 December 2020 Abstract: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is often portrayed as a policy measure that can mitigate the environmental influence of corporate and government projects through objective, systematic, and value-free assessment. Simultaneously, however, research has also shown that the larger political context in which the EIA is embedded is crucial in determining its influence on decision-making. Moreover, particularly in the case of mega-projects, vested economic interests, rent-seeking, and politics may provide them with a momentum in which the EIA risks becoming a mere formality. To substantiate this point, the article examines the EIA of what is reportedly Asia’s largest dam outside China: the Bakun Hydro-electric Project (BHP) in Malaysia. The study is based on mixed methods, particularly, qualitative research (semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and archival study) coupled to a survey conducted in 10 resource-poor, indigenous communities in the resettlement area. It is found that close to 90% of the respondents are dissatisfied with their participation in the EIA, while another 80% stated that the authorities had conducted the EIA without complying to the procedures.

Part of the areas include the district of Ranau, Kota Marudu and Kota Belud. Some of the areas involved if not all are under a national park program prior to this. This gazettement undoubtedly has the potential to bring economic benefit to the state. It has the potential to increase land value, stimulating economic activities especially in the services sector via tourism activities, enhancing protection for environment and as a mean to control aggressive use of land for development. On the other hand, there are some concerns of stakeholders. Issues such as potential restriction for farmers to do agriculture related activities and relocation of village among others are potential concern among communities in Ranau, Kota Marudu and Kota Belud. In this regard, in order to examine the real concerns of various stakeholders, some series of roundtable discussions and interviews have been undertaken. Based on the preliminary assessment, very small number of individuals have worry about the geopark idea. Majority look at it positively. Keyword: Sabah, Malaysia, Geopark, Economic Effects, Concern, Response, Kinabalu 1.

  • Socio-Environmental Impacts of Tourism in Malaysia: Seeking Sustainable Alternatives
    International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-4, Issue-7, Jul.-2018 http://iraj.in SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM IN MALAYSIA: SEEKING SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES A.H.M.ZEHADUL KARIM BA (Hons), MA in Sociology (Dhaka); MA in Anthropology (Syracuse), PhD in Anthropology (Syracuse, USA) Certificate in South Asian Studies (USA) Department of sociology, And anthropology international islamic university malaysia, gombak 53100, kuala lumpur. Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract: Tourism in Malaysia has been identified as one of the largest service-oriented industries, adding a substantial amount of yearly coffer into its GDP which provides economic benefits to millions of people in the commercial and small-scale business sectors of the country. Based on such enormous propensity, it can be said that tourism is an excellent source of income as it creates job opportunities for a huge number of local people and allows them to be economically pursuant and self-sufficient. Geographically, Malaysia has a wonderful natural beauty and at the same time, it practices more or less a tolerant and accepting cultural attitude for which tourists from different parts of the world are attracted. Nonetheless, tourism produces negative impacts particularly on local values where people are often suspected of being assimilated into unfamiliar behaviours brought in by the outsiders. While tourism enhances urban expansion and settlement, it may also damage the natural eco-system as it is converted into pavements and dormitories, creating debates on the issue. Based on such paradoxical debates, this paper is designed to consider firstly, both positive and negative impacts of tourism in Malaysia and finally suggest a rhetorically yet acceptable solution based on its scope in the country.
