26 OCT 1998 Award-Journalist LATE TUN FUAD RECEIVES NATIONAL EMINENT JOURNALIST AWARD KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- Former Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri the late Tun Mohammed Fuad Stephens was posthumously awarded the prestigious Malaysian Press Institute's National Eminent Journalist Award today. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad presented the award to his widow, Toh Puan Rahimah Stephens at the Commonwealth Press Union Biennial Conference opening ceremony here. Born on Sept 14, 1920, Mohammed Fuad became Sabah's first Chief Minister after independence through Malaysia in 1963. His involvement in journalism began when he started contributing to the only newspaper in his home state,the North Borneo News, with the favourite pseudonym of Vox Populi. After a stirring letter that came to be known as the "Blood is Thicker than Water," in which he berated the colonial masters for their indiscrimination against local civil servants, he was invited to write articles for the paper. Mohammed Fuad then set up his own daily newspaper, the Sabah Times with only RM1,000 as his capital after drawing experience from the North Borneo News. The inaugaural edition of the first daily newspaper in North Borneo hit the news stand in March 1952 with him as the editor, typist, reporter, typesetter and delivery boy. Two years later he bought over the North Borneo News and proceeded to combine it with the Sabah Times. He was one of the signatories of the Federation of Malaysia Agreement. Tun Fuad was killed in a plane crash in Tanjung Aru near Kota Kinabalu in 1976. -- BERNAMA NHZ RAZ AAM.

Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent
BIBLIOGRAPHICINFORMATION Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent: The Unofficial Appropriation of Rain Forest Title Rent by Rulers in Insular Southeast Asia Between 1970 and 1999 Source http://www.geocities.com/davidbrown_id/Diss/DWB.Fintext.doc Author 1 Brown, David Walter Author 2 NA Author 3 NA Publication/Conference Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation Edition NA Document Type Dissertation CPI Primary Subject East Malaysia CPI Secondary Subject Political economy; Sabah ; Sarawak; Geographic Terms Sabah; Sarawak Abstract NA CentreforPolicyInitiatives(CPI) PusatInitiatifPolisi http://www.cpiasia.org 1 Chapter 1 Introduction The world’s tropical rain forests are important socially and environmentally as well as by virtue of their contributions to economic growth. As these forests are logged, their social values as generators of rural incomes and their environmental services as biodiversity reserves, carbon sinks, soil reserves, and watersheds tend to diminish. Despite these facts, most governments in the tropics are unable to resist logging these forests in favor of national economic objectives, including: creation of a forest industrial sector, higher employment, positive balance of payments, and increased government revenues. However, given the high economic stakes that can be obtained from their forests, it is seems counterintuitive that tropical governments rarely succeed in optimally harnessing government revenue from this valuable natural resource. This staggering loss of revenue to developing countries obviously has important implications for economic development. Timber revenue could be used, for example, to finance the kind of strategic industrial policies that allow the high performing Asian economies to achieve high levels of economic growth. This dissertation argues that states with rain forests are often unable to collect optimal revenue from the massive profit earned by timber companies that harvest state forests because this profit already has a hidden destination.

Hazis* This article traces the major contestations that have taken place in Sabah and Sarawak throughout the 54 years of their independence. The two major areas of contestation are state power and local resources, pitting federal leaders against Sabah and Sarawak’s elites. These contestations have forced the federal govern- ment to accommodate the local elites, thus ensuring the stability of Barisan Nasional (BN) rule in the East Malaysian states. However, Sabah and Sarawak elites are not homogeneous since they have different degrees of power, agendas, and aspirations. These differences have led to open feuds between the elites, resulting in the col- lapse of political parties and the formation of new political alignments. Over almost four decades, a great majority of the people in Sabah and Sarawak have acceded to BN rule. However, in the last decade there have been pockets of resistance against the authoritarian rule of BN and the local elites. This article argues that without accountability and a system of checks and balances, the demand for more autonomy by the increasingly vocal Sabah and Sarawak elites will benefit only them and not the general public.

University of Perpetual Help System-DALTA College of Law
University of Perpetual Help System-DALTA College of Law FOREWORD Philippines maintains a dormant claim over the sovereignty of eastern Sabah based on the claim that in 1658 the Sultan of Brunei had ceded the northeast portion of Borneo to the Sultan of Sulu; and that later in 1878, an agreement was signed by the Sultan of Sulu granting the North Borneo Chartered Company a permanent lease over the territory. Malaysia considered this dispute as a "non-issue", as there is no desire from the actual people of Sabah to be part of the Philippines or of the Sultanate of Sulu. As reported by the Secretary- General of the United Nations, the independence of North Borneo was brought about as the result of the expressed wish of the majority of the people of the territory in a 1963 election. This research will determine whether or not Philippines have proprietary rights over Sabah. Jennylyn B. Albano UPHSD- College of Law 1 | P a g e INTRODUCTION This research will focus on the History of Sabah and determination of whether who really owns it. As we all know even before our ancestors are already fighting for our right over this state however, up until now dispute is still on going. Sabah is one of the 13 member states of Malaysia, and is its easternmost state. It is located on the northern portion of the island of Borneo. It is the second largest state in the country after Sarawak, which it borders on its southwest. It also shares a border with the province of East Kalimantan of Indonesia in the south.

(Signature) Department of Political Science The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date July 26, 1995 DE-6 (2/88) SHADOWS IN THE FOREST: JAPAN AND THE POLITICS OF TIMBER IN SOUTHEAST ASIA ABSTRACT This dissertation creates two new theoretical tools to analyze connections between politics and environmental change. The first section develops the concept of Northern ‘shadow ecologies’ to understand the environmental impact of a Northern state on Southern resource management. A Northern shadow ecology is the aggregate environmental impact of government aid and loans; corporate investment and technology transfers; and trade, including purchasing practices, consumption, export and consumer prices, and import tariffs. After outlining Japan’s shadow ecology, the next part constructs an analytical lens to uncover salient Southern political causes of timber mismanagement.
