  • The Chinese of Sarawak: Thirty Years of Change
    Southeast As£an Stud£es, Vol. 21, No.3, December 1983 The Chinese of Sarawak: Thirty Years of Change T'IEN Ju-K'ang* Editor's Note During the period 1948-1949, the author of this article visited Sarawak to study the social structure of the Chinese community in Kuching. After a lapse of 32 years, an investigation based on published materials has been made to assess social mobility within various dialect groups in Sarawak and to compare the present situation with that of 30 years ago. As a result of advances in communication and the extension of marketing, the successive layers of middlemen, in whom social and political power was invested, have been forced out and a new elite recruited from minor groups has emerged. The focus of the ethnic Chinese has gradually shifted from their traditionally narrow, localized interests to the welfare of the country in which they have settled. This trend can be seen in Chinese communities throughout the world. Since Sarawak gained independence reshuffling of the power structure in the from Great Britain and became integrated Chinese community.

  • 206 EILEEN CHANIN, Limbang Rebellion. Seven Days In
    206 Reviews EILEEN CHANIN, Limbang Rebellion. Seven Days in December 1962. Singapore: Ridge Books, 2013 (reprinted by Pen & Sword Military, 2014). XXII, 249 pages, $28.00. ISBN 978-9971-69-775-4 (pbk) This book is family history, military history, colonial history and political history in one. The rebellion of the title took place in Borneo during the decolonisation era. The author, Eileen Chanin from the University of New South Wales, is a prize-winning historian. Her new book, many years in the making, is based on extensive research in Sarawak (Malaysia), Singapore, Australia and the United Kingdom (pp. 205–36). She also trawled the archives of the Imperial War Museum, the Royal Marines and the Mill Hill Missionaries. Telling use is made of her own family’s papers: her parents-in-law were Richard and Dorothy Morris, an Australian in the British Colonial Service and his wife, who were taken hostage by rebels in Sarawak in 1962. They were released unharmed following military action by a vastly outnumbered detachment of Royal Marines. Five com- mandos were killed and six wounded during the engagement. Captain Richard Holywell Morris OBE SMB (1915–2000), an only child of Anglo-Welsh heritage, with but a “patchy education” (p. 28), arrived in Borneo in 1945 with the Australian Imperial Force. After the war he was appointed to the Sarawak Civil Service, in which he served until his retirement in 1964. By November 1962, when he took up his appointment as Resident (administrator) of the Limbang District, he had worked in all five administrative divisions of the crown colony, in addition to a long spell (1954–8) in neighbouring Brunei.

  • HSL Secures RM300 Million Bridge Contract in Mukah Borneo Post Online, 18 April 2019, Thursday
    HSL secures RM300 million bridge contract in Mukah Borneo Post Online, 18 April 2019, Thursday The latest contracts in Mukah will contribute positively to the earnings and net assets of HSL. KUCHING: Hock Seng Lee Bhd (HSL) has won a contract via open tendering from the Sarawak Government for the proposed construction of the Batang Paloh Bridge in Mukah, Sarawak. The RM298.98 million contract is under Package 3 of the RM11 billion allocation for the state’s coastal road upgrading, secondary trunk road network and water supply project. In a statement, HSL said, the project would see existing ferry services at river crossings replaced with permanent bridges, enabling better accessibility and connectivity. Construction of the 1.9km balanced cantilever reinforced concrete Batang Paloh Bridge will require substantial marine piling works using steel-pipe piles of 1500mm in diameter. The scope of works would also include earthworks, geotechnical works, drainage, pavement works and the associated mechanical and electrical works. The contract period is 48 months, with physical construction work expected to commence in May 2019. HSL managing director Dato Paul Yu Chee Hoe said the outlook for the group was promising given the Batang Paloh Bridge project was bagged shortly after HSL won RM54.3million worth of contracts from Sarawak Energy Bhd for earthworks, facilities and residences for the Balingian coal-fired power plant, also in Mukah. Known as a knowledge and industrial hub, Mukah is within the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) area of central Sarawak. HSL has successfully undertaken numerous major projects in the vicinity including water-supply works and the UiTM campus.

  • Deforestation, Forest Degradation and Readiness of Local People Of
    Sains Malaysiana 43(10)(2014): 1461–1470 Deforestation, Forest Degradation and Readiness of Local People of Lubuk Antu, Sarawak for REDD+ (Penyahhutanan, Dedgrasi Hutan dan Kesediaan Penduduk Tempatan dari Lubuk Antu, Sarawak bagi REDD +) MUI-HOW PHUA*, WILSON WONG, MEA HOW GOH, KAMLISA UNI KAMLUN, JULIUS KODOH, STEPHEN TEO, FAZILAH MAJID COOKE & SATOSHI TSUYUKI ABSTRACT Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation-plus (REDD+) is considered as an important mitigation strategy against global warming. However, the implementation of REDD+ can adversely affect local people who have been practicing shifting cultivation for generations. We analyzed Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper images of 1990 and 2009 to quantifying deforestation and forest degradation at Lubuk Antu District, a typical rural area of Sarawak, Malaysia. The results showed significant loss of intact forest at 0.9% per year, which was substantially higher than the rate of Sarawak. There were increases of oil palm and rubber areas but degraded forest, the second largest land cover type, had increased considerably. The local people were mostly shifting cultivators, who indicated readiness of accepting the REDD+ mechanism if they were given compensation. We estimated the monthly willingness to accept (WTA) at RM462, which can be considered as the opportunity cost of foregoing their existing shifting cultivation. The monthly WTA was well correlated with their monthly household expenses. Instead of cash payment, rubber cultivation scheme was the most preferred form of compensation. Keywords: Deforestation; forest degradation; REDD+; shifting cultivation; willingness to accept ABSTRAK Pengurangan pelepasan daripada penyahhutanan dan degradasi hutan-plus (REDD+) dianggap sebagai strategi mitigasi penting dalam menangani pemanasan global.

  • Paul Beavitt My Aim in This Paper Is to Consider the Relationship Between
    Paul Beavitt: Melanau Sickness Images: Spirits Given Physical Form 95 MELANAU SICKNESS IMAGES: SPIRITS GIVEN PHYSICAL FORM Paul Beavitt My aim in this paper is to consider the relationship between art and the act of healing with respect to one society in north eastern Borneo. This group, the Melanau, lives on the coastal areas of what is now the state of Sarawak, in East Malaysia. They were studied in 1949 and 1950 by Dr. H.S. Morris who died before he completed his planned publications. However, Beatrice Clayre edited his proposed study of Melanau ritual and belief for the Sarawak Museum Journal, and this volume provides the main source for this account. There were some 44,000 Melanau in Sarawak in 1960 - Jones 196 - three years before the formation of Malaysia - and, of these, some 10,000 followed traditional religious practices at that time, the rest were Moslem and Christian. Since this time, the number practicing traditional beliefs has declined further and greater numbers have become incorporated into Islam, and the population has intermingled more with coastal Malays. It is widely accepted that the Melanau were originally a part of the Kayan, Kajang, Kajaman population group, who were thought to have originated in the Usan Apau uplands of north central Borneo but later moved down river toward a number of coastal locations (Figure 1 on CD) where they began to cultivate the sago palm, in the swamp forests, frequently flooded by a combination of monsoon tides and the high rainfall in the region (in excess of 150 inches per year).

  • 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.

  • Language Use and Attitudes As Indicators of Subjective Vitality: the Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia
    Vol. 15 (2021), pp. 190–218 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24973 Revised Version Received: 1 Dec 2020 Language use and attitudes as indicators of subjective vitality: The Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia Su-Hie Ting Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Andyson Tinggang Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Lilly Metom Universiti Teknologi of MARA The study examined the subjective ethnolinguistic vitality of an Iban community in Sarawak, Malaysia based on their language use and attitudes. A survey of 200 respondents in the Song district was conducted. To determine the objective eth- nolinguistic vitality, a structural analysis was performed on their sociolinguistic backgrounds. The results show the Iban language dominates in family, friend- ship, transactions, religious, employment, and education domains. The language use patterns show functional differentiation into the Iban language as the “low language” and Malay as the “high language”. The respondents have positive at- titudes towards the Iban language. The dimensions of language attitudes that are strongly positive are use of the Iban language, Iban identity, and intergenera- tional transmission of the Iban language. The marginally positive dimensions are instrumental use of the Iban language, social status of Iban speakers, and prestige value of the Iban language. Inferential statistical tests show that language atti- tudes are influenced by education level. However, language attitudes and useof the Iban language are not significantly correlated. By viewing language use and attitudes from the perspective of ethnolinguistic vitality, this study has revealed that a numerically dominant group assumed to be safe from language shift has only medium vitality, based on both objective and subjective evaluation.

Thequestion of howand in whatways these contendingforces operatein Sarawakand in Malaysiaas awholeis therefore crucial in aneffort to capture this dynamic.This article examinesthe impactof globalizationon the democra- tization process andother domestic political activities of the indigenouspeoples (IPs)of Sarawak.It shows howthe democratizationprocess canbe anempower- ingone, thus enablingthe actors to managethe effects ofglobalization in their lives. Thecon ict betweenthe IPsandthe state againstthe depletionof the tropical rainforest is manifested in the form of blockadesand unlawful occu- pationof state landby the former as aform of resistance andprotest.
