Hunger of the Body, Hunger of the Mind: The Experience of Food Insecurity in Rural, Non-Peninsular Malaysia by Elizabeth Elliott Cooper A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida Co-Major Professor: Linda M.

Azliyati Azizan, Ph.D. Date of Approval: August 19, 2009 Keywords: child health, nutritional programming, cultural consensus, biocultural theory, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo © Copyright 2009 , Elizabeth Elliott Cooper If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin. -Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle (1839) Now one thing’s for certain And two things for sure Being poor is a disease Gotta hustle up a cure -M.I.A., “Paper Planes” Kala (2007) I truly believe that fieldwork made me an anthropologist. All metamorphoses are painful, and Malaysia has been my crucible. The people of Kpg. Trusan Jaya and Kpg. Tanah Hitam helped sustain me throughout this often difficult process, offering me humor, kindness, protection and even friendship – small, fleeting spaces to be just myself. Their lives and examples reminded me of the beauty and endurance within these communities and inspired me to persevere in my own way. Even from across the ocean, my family has accepted my absences, given me freedom and support, and somehow managed to love me through both mistakes and successes. In the end, academics have only words and thoughts. Although you deserve more, this dissertation is dedicated to each of you: Normah bt. Abdullah Nenden Sabtuyah bt. Ass Sulastri bt. Rajak Jaibah bt. Hj. Lajit Mohtadi b. Masli James Elliott Williams, Jr. Linda Byrd Williams Sarah Caroline Williams Doris Byrd ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Preliminary research and data collection was supported by a student Fulbright Full Grant to Malaysia; the National Science Foundation (NSF) Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant under Award Number 0751828; and the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society Grant-in-Aid of Research. In-kind support was provided by the Malaysian-American Commission on Educational Exchange (MACEE), the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), and the non-governmental organization, Angkatan Zaman Mansang (AZAM). My connection to Malaysia began serendipitously in April 2005 when my work for the USF Global Health Department brought me into contact with the UNIMAS delegation. It is a testament to the inclusiveness and foresight of the UNIMAS-USF Partnership that they so readily accepted me with my still unformed research agenda. Similarly, I appreciate the enthusiasm and patience of those who supported me that first summer in Sarawak as I tried to find a place and relevance for myself and my research. In particular, I want to thank Dora, Denver, Mawar, and Kojek for letting me be both a friend and a co-worker and Yahya b. Ahmad, who honestly and with incredible humor taught me about the internal workings of the Sarawak State Health Department. I have little doubt that my affiliation with UNIMAS will be among the most rewarding of my professional career, and I want to express my sincere thanks to Mutalip Abdullah, Noor’ain Aini, Hew Cheng Sim, and the office staff of the Fakulti Sains Sosial. Fieldwork would have been impossible without the training I received at the NSF Summer Institute for Research Design and the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Institute of the Malay World and Civilization. Writing would have been equally impossible without the flexibility and insightful comments of my committee members. Finally, I want to say thank you to my friends – to Casey and Ben for putting me up in Kuala Lumpur; to Cisco for being generally amazing and helping me survive the field experience; to Marc for his editing and cooking; to Jeremy for his statistical help and inappropriate humor; to Janelle, Jennifer, and Erica for re-socializing me; to Kate and Ernesto for the great coffee and conversation, and to Jonny for just being around.

  • Malaysia: the 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania
    Malaysia: the 2020 putsch for Malay Islam supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Many people were surprised by the sudden fall of Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government on 21 February 2020, barely two years after winning the historic May 2018 general elections. This article argues that the fall was largely due to the following factors: the ideology of Ketuanan Melayu Islam (Malay Islam Supremacy); the Mahathir-Anwar dispute; Mahathir’s own role in trying to reduce the role of the non-Malays in the government; and the manufactured fear among the Malay polity that the Malays and Islam were under threat. It concludes that the majority of the Malay population, and the Malay establishment, are not ready to share political power with the non- Malays. Introduction Many people were shocked when the Barisan National (BN or National Front) govern- ment lost its majority in the May 2018 general elections. After all, BN had been in power since independence in 1957 and the Federation of Malaysia was generally regarded as a stable, one-party regime. What was even more remarkable was that the person responsible for Malaysia’s first regime change, Mahathir Mohammad, was also Malaysia’s erstwhile longest serving prime minister. He had headed the BN from 1981 to 2003 and was widely regarded as Malaysia’s strongman. In 2017, he assumed leader- ship of the then-opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH or Alliance of Hope) coalition and led the coalition to victory on 9 May 2018. He is remarkable as well for the fact that he became, at the age of 93, the world’s oldest elected leader.1 The was great hope that Malaysia would join the global club of democracy but less than two years on, the PH government fell apart on 21 February 2020.

Di Sarawak terdapat bermacam-macam suku kaum dan masing-masing menggunakan bahasanya sendiri. Oleh yang demikian, lingua franca di Sarawak merupakan bahasa yang dipilih untuk berhubung dan bertukar-tukar fikiran antara satu sama lain agar hubungan antara suku kaum menjadi lebih erat dan sejahtera. Tentu sahaja bahasa perhubungan yang dipilih telah menjadi milik bersama, difahami, sesuai dan tidak menimbulkan masalah. Kewajaran kajian ini bertunjangkan lingua franca yang bertitik tolak daripada maklumat pilihan bahasa semasa yang digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Sesuatu bahasa itu akan terus dipilih dan digunakan oleh semua pihak sama ada semasa situasi formal atau tidak formal sekiranya bahasa tersebut memenuhi peranan lingua franca. Hasil analisis pilihan bahasa responden Melayu, Iban, Cina dan Melanau di negeri Sarawak, didapati pilihan bahasa Iban dan dialek Melayu Sarawak lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan pilihan bahasa yang lain. Walau bagaimanapun, pilihan bahasa Iban dilihat digunakan dalam situasi tidak formal dan pilihan bahasa dialek Melayu Sarawak pula semasa situasi formal. Kata kunci: lingua franca, pilihan bahasa, suku kaum, dialek Melayu Sarawak, bahasa Iban MOHAMMED AZLAN MIS Abstract The aim of this research is to identify the the common language or lingua franca of Malay, Iban, Chinese and Melanau ethnics groups in Sarawak.
