Arms Procurement Decision Making Volume II: Chile, Greece, Malaysia
4. Malaysia Dagmar Hellmann-Rajanayagam* I. Introduction Malaysia has become one of the major political players in the South-East Asian region with increasing economic weight. Even after the economic crisis of 1997–98, despite defence budgets having been slashed, the country is still deter- mined to continue to modernize and upgrade its armed forces. Malaysia grappled with the communist insurgency between 1948 and 1962. It is a democracy with a strong government, marked by ethnic imbalances and affirmative policies, strict controls on public debate and a nascent civil society. Arms procurement is dominated by the military. Public apathy and indifference towards defence matters have been a noticeable feature of the society. Public opinion has disregarded the fact that arms procurement decision making is an element of public policy making as a whole, not only restricted to decisions relating to military security. An examination of the country’s defence policy- making processes is overdue. This chapter inquires into the role, methods and processes of arms procure- ment decision making as an element of Malaysian security policy and the public policy-making process. It emphasizes the need to focus on questions of public accountability rather than transparency, as transparency is not a neutral value: in many countries it is perceived as making a country more vulnerable.1 It is up 1 Ball, D., ‘Arms and affluence: military acquisitions in the Asia–Pacific region’, eds M.

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.

Solid Waste Generation and Composition at Water Villages in Sabah, Malaysia
Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 23, No. 5 (2014), 1475-1481 Original Research Solid Waste Generation and Composition at Water Villages in Sabah, Malaysia Fatma Sabariah Alias, Latifah Abd Manaf*, Sabrina J. Ho Abdullah, Mariani Ho Nyuk Onn @ Ariffin Faculty of Environmental Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia Received: 9 September 2013 Accepted: 14 January 2014 Abstract Life in an estuary and at the beach are unique settlement patterns in the history of Malaysia. Sabah is well known for its water village settlements that are built on wooden pillars and which can be found along Sabah coastal water. However, a lot of problems have occurred at the Sabah water villages. Thus, the aim of this study is to measure the solid waste generation and composition in 150 households at select water villages in Sabah, Malaysia. The study was conducted at three major towns in Sabah, namely Kampung Tanjung Batu Laut, Tawau water village, Kampung Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu water village and Kampung Sim-sim, Sandakan water village. Based on the results, the total waste generation is 1519.30 kg and the average solid waste generation rate per household is 0.29 kg/person/day. The main component of solid waste is food waste, which comprises 37% of the total waste generated, followed by plastic waste at 31%, paper waste 14.7%, glass 7.2%, and metal 6.3%. The remainder (3.8%) includes bulky waste, furniture, wood, etc. Although the solid waste generation rate is comparatively low, it will create a negative impact on the environment and pub- lic health if proper management of solid waste is not practiced.

The basis for the discussion is derived from the current reflection on Multi-ethnicity and multi-religious society in Malaysia which is not merely based on a single context at national level. In fact, it is evident that these two interrelated aspects are actually subjected to different contexts in the sub-regions; namely West Malaysia (also known as the Peninsula) and East Malaysia which is composed of Sabah and Sarawak. The different status-quo also reflects different impacts on all issues related to ethnicity and religious sentiments in Malaysia as a whole. Without ignoring the focus on the current perspectives on the differences in ethnicity and religion between the Peninsula and Sabah, it is important to explore the historical development during the colonial period which shaped the phenomena in ethnicity and religion in both areas. Keywords: Historical legacy, ethnicity, religion, Malaysia, Sabah. INTRODUCTION Malaysia has long been widely recognised as a harmonious model of plural society. Nevertheless, the issues of ethnicity and religion have always been pronouncedly complex.

1 a Brief History of the Royal Malaysian Navy Initially It May
A brief history of the Royal Malaysian Navy Initially it may appear surprising that Malaysia didn’t have a proper navy or some sort of maritime protection force until the twentieth century. However this is almost certainly due to the territory now comprising Malaysia not having a formal geographical grouping until this time; up until then some of the states did have limited naval capabilities but often relied on others for the protection of their land and sea routes. This can be put into perspective by considering some of the key events in the history of the country. Key historical events Some 10000 years ago migrants, probably from China and Tibet seeking a better place to live, settled in the coastal areas of peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Later the Cambodian based Funan Empire, Sumatra and the Javanese Majapahit Empire fought for the fertile land they occupied. Subsequently strong trading links with China and India were established. Thus the region became strategically important as Peninsular Malaysia lies between the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, and all sea traffic has to pass along the Malacca Straits when travelling from East to West and vice versa. Around the early 1400s, Parameswara, who was thought to be either a Sumatran prince or ex-pirate, settled in Malacca (now spelt Melaka) and established it as a major trading port. In 1405 the Chinese Admiral Cheng Ho (or Zheng Ho) arrived and established a trading relationship which included providing protection against the Siamese. Later the Portuguese decided they would like control of Malacca, and in 1509 established a trading relationship with the local ruler but they were expelled when their ultimate aims became apparent.
