  • Active Tectonics in Sabah – Seismicity and Active Faults Felix Tongkul
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 64, December 2017, pp. 27 – 36 Active tectonics in Sabah – seismicity and active faults Felix Tongkul Natural Disaster Research Centre (NDRC), Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Email address: [email protected] Abstract: The location of Sabah near the boundaries of three major tectonic plates, the Eurasian, India-Australia and Philippine-Pacific plates, makes it prone to seismic activities. Sabah is currently under a WNW-ESE compressive stress regime due to the effect of plate movements as the Philippine-Pacific plate move westward at the rate of about 10 cm/ year against the southeast moving Eurasian plate at the rate of about 5 cm/year. The WNW-ESE compression is being accommodated by NE-SW trending active thrust faults and NW-SE trending active strike-slip faults present all over Sabah. Evidence of active faults based on geomorphological features, such as linear structures associated with triangular facets, stream offsets, mud volcanoes and hot springs are widespread in Sabah.The WNW-ESE compression resulted in regional folding or warping of the upper crust to produce an uplifted belt trending NE-SW in Western Sabah, currently occupied by the Crocker-Trusmadi Range. The warping and uplift of the upper crust is thought to be driving extensional tectonics, marked by the presence of NE-SW trending active normal faults along the crest and flanks of the Crocker- Trusmadi Range anticlinorium. At least six elongate Quaternary graben-like basins (Tenom, Keningau, Tambunan, Ranau, Timbua and Marak-Parak) occur along the crest of the anticlinorium.

  • The Treatment of Prisoners of War by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy Focusing on the Pacific War
    The Treatment of Prisoners of War by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy Focusing on the Pacific War TACHIKAWA Kyoichi Abstract Why does the inhumane treatment of prisoners of war occur? What are the fundamental causes of this problem? In this article, the author looks at the principal examples of abuse inflicted on European and American prisoners by military and civilian personnel of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy during the Pacific War to analyze the causes of abusive treatment of prisoners of war. In doing so, the author does not stop at simply attributing the causes to the perpetrators or to the prevailing condi- tions at the time, such as Japan’s deteriorating position in the war, but delves deeper into the issue of the abuse of prisoners of war as what he sees as a pathology that can occur at any time in military organizations. With this understanding, he attempts to examine the phenomenon from organizational and systemic viewpoints as well as from psychological and leadership perspectives. Introduction With the establishment of the Law Concerning the Treatment of Prisoners in the Event of Military Attacks or Imminent Ones (Law No. 117, 2004) on June 14, 2004, somewhat stringent procedures were finally established in Japan for the humane treatment of prisoners of war in the context of a system infrastructure. Yet a look at the world today shows that abusive treatment of prisoners of war persists. Indeed, the heinous abuse which took place at the former Abu Ghraib prison during the Iraq War is still fresh in our memories.

It looks at the co-operation between Special Operations Australia, Special Operations Executive of Britain and the US Officeof Strategic Services and their actions with and against each other during the Pacific War. Based on hithertounused archival sources, it argues that the cancellation of 'Kingfisher' - and the failure to rescue the Sandakan prisoners - can be explained by the motivations, decisions and actions of particular British officers in the interplay of the wartime alliance. The politics of wartime alliances played out at both the level of grand strategy but also in interaction between officers within the planning headquarters in the Southwest Pacific Area, with severe implications for those most directly affected.

  • Potensi Ekonomi Tanah Ultrabes Di Sekitar Ranau, Sabah
    Geological Society of Malaysia, Bulletin 46 May 2003; pp. 243-246 The economic potential of ultrabasic soils in the vicinity of Ranau, Sabah Potensi ekonomi tanah ultrabes di sekitar Ranau, Sabah OSAMA TWAIQI, HAMZAH MOHAMADI, MOHAMAD MD T ANI, ANIZAN ISAHAKI, BABA MUSTA2 AND MOHD ROZI UMARI 1Program Geologi, Fakulti Sains dan Teknologi Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia 2Sekolah Sains dan Teknologi, Universiti Malaysia Sabah 88999 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia Abstract: This paper investigates whether ultrabasic soils are profitable alternative resources of Cr, Co and Ni. A total of 55 holes have been bored through 3-20 metre thick in situ soils, at the pilot study area near Ranau, Sabah. The soil reserve of an approximately 1.1 km2 area is 19.25 million tonne. X-ray diffraction study confirms the occurrence of goethite as the major constituent, with occurrence of lesser amounts of gibbsite, kaolinite and rutile. Quantitative X­ ray fluorescence study on 300 bulk samples gives the following average, in wt%: Cr 1.90 (0.80-2.20), Co 0.06 (0.04- 0.10), and Ni 0.64 (0.20-1.40). Cr and Ni, with reserves of 365,000 tonne and 122,000 tonne respectively are believed to be profitable, if efficient and cost-effective extraction techniques with 80% recovery are available. Abstrak: Kertas ini cuba menyiasat sama ada tanah ultrabes boleh dijadikan sumber alternatif yang menguntungkan bagi Cr, Co dan Ni. Sejumlah 55 lubang telah digerudi menerusi tanah setempat berketebalan 3-20 meter, di kawasan kajian pemandu berhampiran Ranau, Sabah.
