Full textAbstract:
Sarawak is the largest country in the Malaysian Federation, having a rich and colorful cultural heritage from the diversity of customs and traditions of its multi-ethnic population. Culture is a comprehensive value system consisting of various material and immaterial aspects. Culture needs to be documented to maintain the nation's cultural heritage so that it is not forgotten or lost. Even though they have achieved independence and lives in modernization, the clash between various forms of traditional culture and the new cultural values persists. However, the traditional cultural values must be preserved as the nation's cultural heritage.

In this brief report, we describe four plant species that Iban weavers use for dyes and six ingredients that they use in mordants. From September to November 2009, we interviewed four weavers and observed additional persons collecting and processing dye plants in three Iban villages whose names are Rumah Engkang, Rumah Ejon, and Rumah Nyawai. We also collected twenty-four plant vouchers which are deposited in the Sarawak Herbarium in the Forest Research Centre of Sarawak. The means by which Iban acquire dye materials varies by community and by individual weaver within each community. Generally, however, Iban collect plants when they are abundant in forests and easy to access and cultivate or, alternatively, they purchase plants that are scarce in the wild. Women use the yarns that they dye with plants to weave cloths.

The purpose of this research is to contribute to the border area in order to improve the economy, as one of the pillars of national security. This research was conducted in Bengkayang which is one of the regency areas in West Kalimantan. It is directly adjacent to Sarawak, Malaysia. The method used in this study is a qualitative method by carrying out focus group discussions. The material used is about financial literacy and financial behavior as one of the efforts that can be done to improve the economic resilience of a region. The target of this study is housewives, because housewives are important figures in managing family finances. The added value highlighted in this study is the existence of aspects of spirituality that are adapted to the beliefs held by the group studied and synergized in the provision of material, namely the value of amare culture. The results of this study were found to be a phenomenon that although in border areas, the community had received financial literacy education, however it did not get a good response, a lack of implementation of financial literacy had an impact on negative financial behavior patterns, when knowing that financial literacy can be used as a means of manifesting the faith adopted by enthusiastic housewives and giving a positive response.

This research is backed by the condition of the community located in the border area of Indonesia-Malaysia especially in Entikong subdistrict of Sanggau Regency. As the frontier area of social and cultural life of community education in this region has always been a concern especially in conjunction with Malaysian Sarawak. The inhabitants of this region generally embraced Catholicism and Catholic missionaries establishing schools of KINDERGARTEN to high school which are equipped with dormitories. The problem in this study is how the Catholic religious education influences the dialectics of Dayak culture in the region. Data taken using qualitative method is by observation, interviews and living with the community there. The study was held in July-September 2018. The results concluded that the education developed by Catholic missionaries has an effect on the dialectics of Dayak culture in this area. Besides education, other factors also affect the history, politics, and daily life at the border. Another conclusion is that the Catholic missionary (the work of the education that has been developed) has an effect on the identity of Dayak culture in this region, Dayaks are more confident. This could be so because Catholic missionaries appreciate Dayak culture. It is clear that the education developed by the Catholic religion plays a role in the formation of basic and primary materials for the formation of Dayak cultural dialectics in Entikong and other border areas in West Kalimantan.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Infectious keratitis is caused by inflammation of the cornea from an infectious pathogen that usually results in corneal scarring. It is a major cause of visual impairment globally. The management of infectious keratitis is challenging, and unfortunately, there is no proper study on this issue in the central zone of Sarawak to date.
Purpose: To identify the demographic characteristics, risk factors, and etiological agents of patients with infectious keratitis in Sibu Hospital, Sarawak, Malaysia.
Design of the study: Retrospective study.
Materials and methods: Data were collected and reviewed from medical records of all patients with infectious keratitis in Sibu Hospital from January 2013 up to May 2018.
Results: A total of 139 patients (143 eyes/cases) were included in the study. The average age of affected individuals was 47.39 years. The most frequently affected patients fell within the age group of 21-30 years (18.9%). The male-to-female ratio was 1.65:1, with 61.5% of patients being males and 38.5% being females. Seventy-four cases were noted to have predisposing factors before the manifestation of symptoms. The commonest predisposing factors were ocular trauma (55.4%), followed by contact lens wear (29.7%), recent ocular surgery (13.5%), and a recent history of swimming (7.4%). At least one pathogen was isolated in 63.1% of the 38 cases that were tested for corneal scraping culture and sensitivity. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified as the most common causative pathogen in our study.
Conclusion: Ocular injury stood out as the most common risk factor for infectious keratitis in this study and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common etiological pathogen. A good grasp of local epidemiology and microbial profile of infectious keratitis is essential in aiding and guiding the management of infectious keratitis in hopes of better outcomes for all affected patients.

Full textAbstract:
The traditionally Sarawak Malay woman headscarf is known as Tudong Selayah Keringkam. It is a hand-made identical embroidery headscarf, produced with articulate skills, creativity, and imagination and worn as a social identity among the Malay women in Sarawak. This paper argues that the Selayah and the Keringkam are two different pieces of headscarves artwork. This paper also foresees the reasons behind the depletion of interest and skills of producing this artifact among theyounger generation, to a large extent, making the cultural sustainability of the traditional headscarves in Sarawak to become less significant. Hence, the objectives of this paper are to explore the distinction between Selayahand Keringkam. In this transcendental phenomenological paper, the ‘framing approach’ is used in the in-depth interviews conducted with Selayah Keringkam weavers and Malay elders. This paper apparently has found the little provision to the distinction between Selayah and Keringkam. However, there are five elements posited which have contributed to the depletion of interest among the young generation in the production of Selayah Keringkam. Those elements are labelled as Price,Realism, Technology, Proficient and Insight. Nonetheless, this paper is significant in highlighting the Selayah Keringkam as one of the key material cultures in sustaining Sarawak Malay heritage. Preserving and sustaining the social identity is crucial which potentially becomes central to the tourism products and commercially plated onto the international arena of fashion, art, and design.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural identity is a specific word that refers to individuals and communities in distinguishing themselves from others. One of the most dominant identities in a community culture is traditional clothing. In Sarawak, the traditional dress for the Iban is commonly known as Ngepan Indu. The Ngepan Indu is often worn during the Gawai Dayak celebration season as well as several other ritual ceremonies such as the Miring ceremony (Offerings) and Melah Pinang (Marriage). The Iban community believes that the Ngepan Iban is an identity and cultural icon in today's customs. Apart from that, Ngepan Iban is one of the treasures and legacies of Petara (God) who inhabited a kingdom called Panggau Libau, Tinting Gawai Gasing Gerah Layang so that Iban always remembered Petara and the origin of Iban's ancestors. This paper aims to analyze and understand the Ngepan Indu in the context of the custom and culture of the Iban community by using the qualitative research method based on the collective memory of the Iban cultural experts in Sarawak. Through this research, it is expected to have an effective and progressive impact to regenerate the spirit of Iban culture to continue persistently preserve the Ngepan Iban as a cultural heritage from the ancestors of the past, so that it will continue to be preserved for the future.

Full textAbstract:
There are many types of eco-cultural tourism products and the homestays are popular in Malaysia. In Sarawak, the Longhouse homestay programmes are attractive to foreign tourists and the tourists from China are great potential customers. Hence, the expectations and experiences of the China tourists need to be wellunderstood as they might have different expectations. The main objective of this exploratory research was to identify the important dimensions and specific aspects of the China tourists’ experiences with the longhouse homestays, specifically with a Bidayuh longhouse in Kuching. It was a qualitative research using site visits and focus group interview. The visits and interviews involved fiveChina tourists. The contents of the interviews were analyzed and their experiences were categorized to form more than 15 dimensions with the respective items. The fifteen dimensions were, namely: Journey, ICT, Communication with Tourist, Culture, Moral,Education, Tourist Service, Tourist Engagement, Homestay Management, Food and Beverages, Cleanliness, Nature, Built Environment, Art, and Security. Besides, their suggestions were also obtained for the homestay programme to be improved. The limitations of this research and direction for future research were also discussed.

International Journal of Forestry Research 2021 (May 20, 2021): 1–12. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2021/8859205.
Full textAbstract:
Planting high-quality seedlings with desirable growth attributes are associated with successful survival and growth performance following outplanting. Considering that most tree species from the Dipterocarpaceae family are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, proper conservation of such species is necessary. Very little is known with no clear consensus regarding whether increasing the seedling production period enhances outplanting survival and growth potential of tropical dipterocarp species planted under enrichment planting in Malaysia. In this study, one potential Bornean tropical indigenous species, Shorea macrophylla (de Vriese) P.S. Ashton, was produced in the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak nursery and outplanted at Sampadi Forest Reserve, Sarawak. Different nursery production periods (3, 6, 9, and 24 months) were tested for the species at the time of planting as well as for the subsequent growth performance after 12, 24, and 42 months of outplanting. The findings revealed that older (9- and 24-month-old) S. macrophylla seedlings were morphologically larger from younger (3- and 6-month-old) seedlings. Nonetheless, the overall pooled mean survival rates declined from 61.7 to 44.6% after 12, 24, and 42 months of outplanting. For the 42-month period, the survival rate for the 9-month-old seedlings was significantly higher than that for the 3-, 6-, and 24-month-old seedlings. Notwithstanding, the relative growth rate of the stem diameter was higher for the 3- and 9-month-old seedlings than for the 6- and 24-month-old seedlings after 42 months of outplanting. Thus, maintaining plant material from the seedlings produced at 3, 6, and 9 months of age would be beneficial for the initiation of transplantation in restoration programmes in Sarawak. The 24-month-old seedlings will also be useful, especially during irregular flowering and unpredictable fruiting intervals. A further experimental study on other environmental factors that could influence the outplanting performance of the seedlings in the tropical forest restoration area of Sarawak, Malaysia, is necessary.

Full textAbstract:
The beauty of Pua Kumbu is not merely a cultural expression but it also represents the wealth of information to pass from one generation to another. The art of creating Pua Kumbu design motifs is based on the body of knowledge gathered through collective memory, and the conservation of Pua Kumbu's knowledge and history. The aesthetic perception stimuli from the audiences are complicated cognitive processes. Hence, this study aims to measure the aesthetic perception of 400 participants on design motifs applied on the cloth according to their gender and background using ARS-Revised questionnaire. The findings revealed that female participants exhibited a greater knowledge of Pua Kumbu compared to their male counterparts. Participants from Sarawak perceived higher in cognitive stimulation, knowledge, and self-reference which indicated that they were more likely to be knowledgeable about Pua Kumbu. Participants from Sabah demonstrated the lowest in both cognitive stimulation and expertise despite Sabah being situated in the same region as Sarawak in Borneo. Gender and background of the participants are concluded to exert significant influence on the knowledge in Pua Kumbu design motifs. Knowledge of Pua Kumbu is crucial for the appreciation of aesthetics in preserving the culture and heritage of Sarawak, Malaysia at its best. The findings of this study may interest scholars and researchers in the unique Malaysian heritage.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores English language teacher agency in rural Sarawak, Malaysia within the context of materials exploitation. The introduction of an international textbook series in all primary schools in Malaysia has brought about significant challenges for teachers who work in socially and economically deprived educational settings, where resources are scarce and where the textbook’s cultural references may be alien to the learners. In order for it to be meaningfully used in the classroom, language teachers need to adapt and localize the textbook for their learners. However, diverting from the officially prescribed material and scheme of work may be a risky business and it requires high levels of teacher autonomy and agency. The data show that although research participants find the materials in need of adaptation, not all make changes due to possible deficiencies in their capabilities or their lack of willingness to act. Those who make changes and thus enact their professional beliefs and values are motivated by completely different reasons. The study found that teachers’ interpretation of their work context significantly influences their agential roles and that teacher agency emerges from an interaction of individual capability, professional action, and the professional and social contexts in which the teacher operates.

The Malays are the main ethnic group of Malaysia, representing 50.4% of the total population and 63.1% of the population distribution in Peninsular Malaysia. They are among the identified bumiputera, together with the Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia and indigenous groups in Sarawak and Sabah. This discourse study relates to the cultural identity of the Malays and investigates their ethics and values from social constructionist approaches. Cultural identity includes the cultural background, religion/spirituality and socialisation. This research concurs with other studies that the Malay culture was characterised by a mix of animism, Hinduism and Buddhism, although the Malays have been identified with Islam as their religion. There are still remnants of animistic and Hinduistic beliefs and practices in the Malay Muslim life, especially in the practice of adat. While adat is a cultural and legally-defined element of the Malays in identity, the foundation of Malay ethics and value system is budi-Islam, adab and akhlak.

Full textAbstract:
There are 90000 professional expatriates working in Malaysia and the number is projected to increase year by year. This creates a need to explore work-life balance among expatriates in Malaysia. In this study, qualitative research method was used, and the data was collected using interview guide as the instrument. Actual data was collected from five (5) international lecturers in a public university in Sarawak. The data was analyzed using content analysis. The finding revealed that workload and family support are main contributors to work-life conflict among expatriates while receiving better salaries, meeting new people and experiencing culture are the work-life enrichment factors. Expatriates use general adjustment and interaction to adjust better with their new environment. Hence, it is recommended for organizations to support expatriates through relevant activities to assist them to achieve work-life balance in a foreign country.

The acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) epidemic from 2010 to 2013 significantly affected white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) production in Malaysia. This study aims to determine the status of AHPND in P. vannamei culture from detecting PirA/B toxin genes in hepatopancreas tissues and isolation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus for identification of pathogenic strain from major white shrimp producing farms in Malaysia. Bacteria from the hepatopancreas organ were cultured on tryptic soy agar and identified using API® 20 NE (bioMérieux, France) for Vibrio species. Confirmation of PirA/B toxin genes in hepatopancreas and V. parahaemolyticus isolates were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Twenty-three V. parahaemolyticus isolates were identified from 7.7% of the analysed samples. Fourteen (14) (4.7%) were detected with PirA/B toxin genes from districts of Johor such as Batu Pahat (1) and Kota Tinggi (8), Alor Setar, Kedah (3), Tawau, Sabah (1), and Kuching, Sarawak (1). In contrast, the other nine isolates (3%) contained only the plasmid. Genomic and phylogenetic tree analysis of four V. parahaemolyticus isolates carrying PirA/B toxin genes from this study showed that only one strain (Vp14) harbours the PirA/B complete genes in addition to displaying full sequence homology and coverage to the pVA1 plasmid. In contrast, other strains (AAT22, IKK3, and PK3) displayed partial sequence homology of plasmid harbouring key genes associated with conjugative transfer function but not the plasmid segments containing PirA/B toxin genes. Hence, this study showed that six farms were negative from AHPND. In contrast, four farms were positive with PirA/B toxin genes in juveniles from Pekan, Pahang (26.7%), Kuching and Sarikei, Sarawak (10% respectively), and Alor Setar, Kedah (3.3%).

Various initiatives have been taken to bridge the urban-rural digital divide in Malaysia, which has impacted the change of mindset among the rural community in terms of acceptance and assimilation of digital technologies in their daily life. This includes digital literacy-related activities for self-development, especially in cultivating reading habits. The main purpose of this study is to investigate digital reading practices among rural communities in low literacy rate areas in promoting reading culture in Malaysia under the 10-year National Reading Decade (DMK) 2021-2030 programme. A quantitative design of the study which involved 400 rural community respondents from 4 selected states in Malaysia (Kedah, Kelantan, Sarawak, and Sabah) using the multi-stage and mixed sampling method in administering the survey questionnaires. This study found that rural communities in low literacy rate areas in Malaysia did practice digital reading, primarily on smartphone. The empowerment of digital literacy in terms of digital reading practices is believed to be able to narrow down the digital divide among rural communities. The findings are expected to provide useful guidance for rural development in ICT and create better understanding and awareness among policymakers to create a rural society which is learned and well-informed through a more inclusive digital reading practices.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Tropical peatland is a complex and globally important wetland ecosystem, storing an enormous amount of the Earth’s terrestrial carbon from centuries of organic material accumulation. In this ecosystem, peat swamp forests developed over an ombrogenous peat where hydrology influences its physico-chemical properties, one of which is fluctuation of the peat surface. While several studies of tropical peatland surface fluctuation have been reported, most are based on relatively short measurement periods or focused on drained areas. Hence, the objective of this study is to determine the long-term dynamics of peat surface fluctuation from an undrained peat swamp forest in relation to its water table depth. Peat surface level, water table, and rainfall were measured monthly at three experimental sites in a peat swamp forest in Sarawak, Malaysia over a period of about 10 years (2011–2020). The sites were different in soil structure and vegetation community; namely mixed peat swamp, Alan Batu, and Alan Bunga forests. Throughout the measurement period the peat surface in all sites exhibited consistent oscillating movement that generally follow the fluctuation of water table, with swelling and subsidence occurring after water table increase following high rainfall and receding water during dry spells respectively. Positive linear relationships were also found between peat surface level and water table (p < 0.05). Both the surface level and water table at all sites fell to their lowest during an intense dry period in 2019. Surface fluctuation at the Alan Batu site was most affected by seasonal changes in water table, which may be due to presence of vacant zones in the peat profile.

ABSTRACTSite data from 291 forest inventory plots in Mixed Dipterocarp Forest in central Sarawak were simplified by factor analysis. The distribution of the 33 commonest canopy tree species was related to site factor scores by ‘t’ tests. There appears to be a degree of edaphic influence on the distribution of many species. Fairly constant soil characteristics related to the lithology of the parent material appear to be more important than ephemerally variable pro perties such as organic matter or exchangeable cations. Magnesium appears to be particularly important, possibly because of an effect on the capacity of mycorrhizal root systems to absorb phosphorus.

Despite many job opportunities in the market and the challenges they have to face, some minority of the Saribas Malay community in Betong, Sarawak is still maintaining traditional subsistence activities in food production based on the nipah tree (locally known as apong) such as gula apong, garam apong cuka apong, jarik mayang, air sadap and the sago tree (locally known as mulong) produce, lemantak. This research examines the choice of subsistence strategies and settlement pattern of the Malay community who inhabit the Saribas region. Through the in-depth interview and participant observation, the finding suggested that reliance on a river as the main highway to connect them to the other parts of Sarawak and river as a source of marine resources determine the choice of linear settlement pattern along the river. The results also suggest that river terrestrial resources; apong and mulong accessibility and abundance availability that influence the community in continuing the traditional subsistence activities (apong and mulong based food production) related to those flora source. As such, the assemblage of material culture that exist within the Saribas Malay community is the representation and manifestation of their choice of settlement pattern and subsistence activities.

Full textAbstract:
Background: This study aimed to describe the patterns of physical activities both at weekends and on weekdays and to identify their associated factors. Material/Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among secondary school students aged 13-15 years old in Kuching Division, Sarawak, Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic information and to measure perceived barriers, self-efficacies and social influences. Anthropometric measurements were taken and used to determine BMI-for-age, while pedometers were used to assess the physical activity levels. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: A total of 474 students from six secondary schools participated. About 16% of the respondents were overweight and obese, majority of them males. The mean BMI was 21.21 ±12.93, higher among males. The mean steps per day were 6251.37±3085.31, with weekends recorded a higher number of steps. The number of steps among males was higher than among females. On weekdays, self-motivation scores significantly predicted the participants’ number of steps/physical activity rate (b = 521.43, 95% CI -72.78 to 1050.19). At weekends, lack of interest and knowledge scores (b = -427.82, 95% CI -837.72 to 17.92) and making choices scores (b = 737.41, 95% CI -197.94 to 1276.88) were significant to predict the number of steps/physical activity levels. Conclusions: These findings indicated the importance of investigating predictors of physical activity for weekdays and weekends. Thus, efforts should focus on how to motivate adolescents to be more physically active targeting the identified predictors for weekdays and week ends.

This study provides an understanding of Otherness concept in contemporary social and cultural thought. It tries to delves on the many histories consumed by the Malaysian publics. It is based on the premised that historical knowledge of the nation is ethnicized. This study is aware that there is no official history of the nation. What has come to be known as the nation’s history evolved over space and has been accepted currently as mainstream history. By combining the fields of postcolonial theory and culture studies, it uses a theoretical framework that attaches contemporary cultural debates regarding the representation discourse with the colonial stereotypes and racialized imageries. Through the application of qualitative content analysis and quantitative analysis, the study strives to make a theoretical contribution and adding to the body of the knowledge. This study deduce with a review of different types of racial otherness in Sarawak, by highlighting Orientalism as a form of persistent that has been maintained by colonial binaries throughout the history of Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the findings from research on the relationship between leadership theory and policy reform in Malaysia. Distributed leadership is normatively preferred in the Malaysia Education Blueprint (MEB), the country’s major policy reform document. The research was conducted in two dissimilar Malaysian states (Selangor and Sarawak). Design/methodology/approach The research was a multiple case-study design, with 14 schools (seven in each state). Sampling was purposive, with schools selected from the different bands used to categorise school performance in Malaysia. Within each school, interviews were conducted with principals (secondary schools), headteachers (primary schools) and a range of teachers, middle leaders and senior leaders, to achieve respondent triangulation. Findings The findings confirm that the MEB prescribes distributed leadership as part of a strategy to move principals and head teachers away from their traditional administrative leadership styles. While there were some variations, most schools adopted a modified distributed leadership approach. Instead of the emergent model discussed and advocated in the literature, these schools embraced an allocative model, with principals sharing responsibilities with senior leaders in a manner that was often indistinguishable from delegation. Research limitations/implications A significant implication of the research is that policy prescriptions in major reform initiatives can lead to unintended consequences when applied in different cultural contexts. While distributed leadership is presented as “emergent” in the international (mostly western) literature, it has been captured and adapted for use in this highly centralised context, where structures and culture assume a top-down model of leadership. As a result, distributed leadership has taken on a different meaning, to fit the dominant culture. Practical implications The main practical implication is that principals and head teachers are more likely to enact leadership in ways which are congruent with their cultural backgrounds and assumptions than to embrace policy prescriptions, even when unproblematic adoption of policy might be expected, as in this centralised context. Social implications The main social implications are that policy change is dependent on socio-cultural considerations and that reform will not be whole-hearted and secure if it is not congruent with the values of institutions such as schools, and the wider society which they serve. Originality/value The paper is significant in exploring a popular leadership model in an unfamiliar context. Beyond its importance in Malaysia, it has wider resonance for other centralised systems which have also shown interest in distributed leadership but have been unable and/or unwilling to embrace it in the ways assumed in the literature. This leads to theoretical significance because it adds to the limited body of literature which shows that allocative distributed leadership has emerged as a device for accommodating this model within centralised contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Coffee is called Kopi in both Indonesia and Malaysia. It was said to be introduced to these two countries during the period of colonisation. Various studies (i.e., Robelt McStocker, 1987; Jeff Neilson & Felicity Shonk, 2014; Cheryl Chang & Ian McGonigle, 2020) have discussed the coffee industries, coffee consumption and political economy of livelihood opportunities in these coffee-producing regions. In her book titled, "Coffee Culture: Local Experiences, Global Connections", Tucker (2010) asserts that "coffee is a material substance, but culture infuses with social and symbolic meanings" (p. 6). Both Indonesia and Malaysia demonstrate their own patterns of appreciation on coffee culture and cultural heritage in digital formats in a modern setting. According to Jambunathan (2019), upward mobility in coffee-business families in these regions is playing a role, as well-educated younger generations have successfully propelled new technique and advance application on numerous aspects of coffee business.

Abstract This study analyses a literary work using the Management Approach by Mohamad Mokhtar Abu Hassan (2013). There are five principles under the approach: planning, leadership, organising, staffing, and control. This paper focuses on the planning principle, which was based on the Planning Dimension Model by Sara Beden (2018). It involves factors such as setting objectives and formulating strategies. The principle was applied to the novel “Silir Daksina” by Nizar Parman, which is included in the syllabus of the Literature Component (KOMSAS) under the Ministry of Education (MOE) Malaysia for Sijil Persekolahan Malaysia (SPM) students in Sarawak. Literary research and text analysis were used to achieve the study‟s primary objectives of identifying and analysing the planning principle in the text. Results proved that “Silir Daksina” is highly inclined towards the application of the principle based on the Planning Dimension Model. The planning principles found in this novel are significant, relevant and appropriate to be applied in literary material vis-à-vis the Management Approach. The study proves that this novel can shape and nurture attitudes and identities, especially in terms of good management in the minds of the young today. Thus, the analysis of a novel on the perseverance and resilience of youth using the new approach in the field of literary criticism in Malaysia is deserving and relevant to be highlighted. In turn, the study hopes to make a small contribution to the world of literary criticism and education in Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
Recently the accessibility of sago biomass has drawn considerable interest in research regarding the production of renewable energy. In this study, sago-derived biochar was evaluated and characterized as a solid fuel. Sago biochar was produced in an electric fluidized bed reactor at temperatures between 300 °C to 600 °C, with nitrogen flow rates of 50 mL/min to 100 mL/min for 10 to 30 min of process. The optimum condition to ensure the maximum biochar yield (47%) were obtained at 400 °C, 20 min of process and of 75 mL/min of nitrogen flow. The physicochemical properties of the final product were determined through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and elemental analysis techniques. The higher heating value (HHV) of the material was remarkably improved by almost 13% via pyrolysis. The experimental results showed that sago biomass can be considered a suitable source of solid fuel, especially in the industrial and domestic sectors in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reviews the role of Natural Farming as an ecological farming method to produce organically grown food of safe and high quality and at the same time improve soil quality and soil health. Currently, there is a dearth of information on the effects of Natural Farming approach on black pepper farms particularly in Sarawak, Malaysia. Previous studies on other crops had indicated positive outcome using the Natural Farming method. Thus, this paper discusses the essential role of effective microorganisms in Natural Farming and their potential in pepper cultivation. Through the action of effective microorganisms, this approach should be able to transform a degraded soil ecosystem into one that is fertile and has high nutrients availability. The mixed culture of effective microorganisms applied must be mutually compatible and coexist with one another to ensure its favorable establishment and interaction in the soil. Therefore, it is anticipated that introducing Natural Farming in black pepper cultivation can enhance the predominance of effective microorganisms in the soil, which in turn could lead to promising growth and yield of the crop.

Full textAbstract:
Spending money on experiences, compared to materials, is often associated with more happiness. This experiential advantage, however, is developed based on samples from Western cultures. To investigate the boundaries of this effect, we studied participants from three divergent cultures (Iran, Malaysia, and the United States; N = 1,718) and examined the benefits associated with different purchase types across material–experiential and solitary–social dimensions. Results indicated a cross-culturally robust experiential advantage in terms of affiliative outcomes (i.e., positive other-focused emotions and relational enhancement), even when we accounted for the sociality of the purchases. However, the results were less consistent with the experiential advantage in terms of happiness and self-focused outcomes (i.e., self-focused emotions and self-elevation). Interestingly, experiential-solitary purchases were associated with stronger self-focused benefits among Iranians. We discuss possible explanations for this effect and offer recommendations for future research. Data and analysis code are publicly available at https://osf.io/n39gj/

Kajian membuktikan bahawa cerita rakyat yang terdapat di Malaysia sesuai dijadikan bahan bacaan untuk masyarakat Melayu. Berbicara tentang seni budaya berfi kir dan akal budi masyarakat Melayu dalam menyelesaikan suatu masalah merupakan medium yang paling berkesan yang diperoleh menerusi cerita rakyat yang dikarang menerusi bahan bacaan hingga kini. Lantaran kepesatan dan pemodenan di Malaysia, bidang teknologi memainkan peranan penting dalam memperkasakan dan membawa cerita rakyat di peringkat yang lebih tinggi dengan adanya pendokumentasian cerita rakyat menerusi platform multimedia yang pelbagai. Namun, cerita rakyat boleh membentuk budaya berfikir dan akal budi masyarakat Melayu dalam menyelesaikan masalah dan teknologi menyampaikan mesej yang berkesandalam membentuk jati diri Melayu yang sempurna. The study proves that the folklore found in Malaysia is suitable as a reading material for the Malaycommunity. Talking about the artistic culture of thinking and the mind of the Malay community in solving a problem is the most effective medium to be gained through the folklore authored through the reading material to date. Due to the rapidity and modernization of Malaysia, the technology field plays an important role in empowering and bringing folklore at a higher level with the existence of documentary folklore through diverse multimedia designs. However, folklore can shape the culture of thinking and the mind of the Malay community in solving the problems and technology delivers effective messages in forming a perfect Malay identity.

Full textAbstract:
Carbon emission is released into the atmosphere as the result of various activities due to rapid urbanisation and thus contributed to global warming and climate change. The government has taken various initiatives to reduce the impact, including from the construction industry in order to support the carbon footprint reduction of 40% as pledged by the Prime Minister. Various strategies, such as the Malaysian Carbon Reduction and Environmental Sustainability Tool (MyCREST), have been established to promote green building development in Malaysia. Recent studies suggested that the selection of sustainable materials can reduce the overall carbon emission of a building, but the cost has been identified as the main barriers. This paper aims to analyse the potential of carbon footprint reduction by using sustainable material in mid-rise residential building and subsequently to evaluate the cost implication. The impact of the conventional and the selected sustainable materials was assessed using data from the MyCREST tool while the data for cost analysis were taken from various sources of cost data such as JKR Rates online (RATOL), JKR Sarawak Schedule of Rates (SOR), and previous research. The results show that the sustainable materials such as 30% of Blast Furnace Slag (BFS) concrete mixture, Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) block, and recycled steel roof truss has the potential to reduce the carbon emission. The findings also show that sustainable materials are slightly cheaper than the conventional materials except for the AAC block and clay roof tiles. Therefore, the potential of carbon emission reduction approach by using MyCREST as a guideline tool can assist in the reduction of the environmental impact of buildings.Keywords: Carbon emission, sustainable building materials, cost implication.

Full textAbstract:
The public works sector in Malaysia has generally executed construction projects that are highly complex, requiring multiple components and involving a large scale of resources and management. Many construction works are carried out in rural settings with challenges and constraints in terms of site access, transportation and material availability. Hence, the problem of timely delivery of projects persists. It is critical to identify and manage schedule-related risks rigorously to ensure a successful and timely project delivery which is a precursor for the nation’s sustainable development. This study, part of efforts to set up a Malaysia-based risk registry, involves the identification of key risks related to scheduling in Malaysia’s public works infrastructure projects and the analysis of their occurrences and impacts. A total of 111 of 123 projects from the Sarawak state’s Public Works Department are studied via the case study method. The selection of projects was based on whether a project’s completion date was extended due to the occurrences of delay events. The number of occurrences is calculated based on the number of times a delay event occurred in the 111 projects. The impact analysis is carried out based on the total delay over the overall project delay for a project. The findings show that the most frequently occurring risk in the 111 projects is “exceptionally inclement weather”, “whereas risks related to land blockage”, “obstructions by others and approval from other authorities” are risks that caused high severity in terms of delay in schedule. Information obtained from this research is part of key effort for risk data and knowledge retention and dissemination which can be used for further risk analysis for future construction projects.

Full textAbstract:
Entikong is one of Indonesia's land border areas with Sarawak Malaysia, which is the gateway for economic and business activities. Despite being the front porch of a country, the fact is that the border areas of the State are very conditioned with lag. Limited access to public service resources and the inadequate community ability in processing natural resources including agriculture and plantations are the dominant factors influencing the lag of a border area. Bamboo is one of the abundant forest products in Entikong. The use of bamboo in the community is still limited to its use as building materials (scaffolding) and as a protective fence for plants in the gardens of the citizens. Bamboo Rope (Gigantochloa hasskarliana Kurz) species of bamboo found in the Entikong region, where elsewhere it generally makes it as a household handicraft material, but has not been used effectively in the entikong region. Community service activities aim to improve the skills of the Entikong community in processing bamboo plants as handicrafts of household goods of economic value so that it can be an additional source of income for the people on the border
=====
Entikong adalah wilayah perbatasan darat Indonesia dengan Sarawak Malaysia, yang menjadi gerbang kegiatan ekonomi dan perniagaan. Meskipun menjadi beranda depan dari suatu negara, kenyataannya bahwa wilayah batas negara sangat sarat dengan ketertinggalan. Keterbatasan mengakses sumber-sumber pelayanan masyarakat dan kemampuan masyarakat yang tidak memadai dalam mengolah sumber daya alam termasuk pertanian dan perkebunan merupakan faktor yang dominan memengaruhi ketertinggalan sebuah wilayah perbatasan. Bambu adalah salah satu hasil hutan yang kelimpahannya besar di daerah Entikong. Pemanfaatan bambu dalam masyarakat masih terbatas pada penggunaannya sebagai bahan bangunan (perancah) dan sebagai pagar pelindung tanaman di kebun-kebun warga. Bambu tali (Gigantochloa hasskarliana Kurz.) adalah salah satu spesies bambu yang terdapat di wilayah Entikong. Di tempat lain umumnya menjadikannya sebagai bahan kerajinan rumah tangga, tetapi belum dimanfaatkan secara efektif di wilayah Entikong. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan warga masyarakat Entikong dalam mengolah tanaman bambu sebagai kerajinan alat-alat rumah tangga yang bernilai ekonomis sehingga dapat menjadi sumber penghasilan tambahan masyarakat di perbatasan tersebut.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to determine the effect of the rainfall pattern on cation nutrients in black pepper cultivation in a hilly topography. A field study was conducted in black pepper cultivation in a hilly topography around Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia, with a 26o slope during the Northeast monsoon in 2020. Six blocks were established on 462.56 m2, with four subsequent soil samples (0-20 cm) collected per block after the rainfall. Soil samples were analysed using the standard pH, total organic carbon (TOC), soil texture, total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) in triplicate. Rainfall pattern (October < November > December) affects TN (300.31-1422.90 mg/kg) and K availability (13.54-166.68 mg/kg), especially during peak season in November 2020. Available P, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Mn exhibit minimum rainfall effect but are closely related to combined interaction with parent material and topography. Therefore, proper soil management, such as applying fertiliser using top dressing, foliar spray, and manure amendment, including growing cover crop, is recommended to improve nutrient availability.

"ACCULTURATION STRATEGY AND DIFFERENT CULTURAL RESULTS AMONG THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS OF THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY OF MALAYSIA." Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management 5, no. 21 (December 2, 2020): 123–42. http://dx.doi.org/10.35631/jthem.521008.
Full textAbstract:
Acculturation is understood as a continuation of the process of accepting foreign cultural elements without losing the original cultural identity. Visibility as a result of acculturation culture is more easily achieved with the inclusion of material elements such as the process of borrowing language, the influence of clothing and food. Yet non-material cultural elements such as ideology and thought are more difficult to materialised. Therefore, the focus of the discussion of this paper is to identify the process of acculturation and different cultural outcomes based on mergers, clashes, or cultural isolation. This paper focuses on empirical data obtained from in-depth interviews with a group of international students currently studying at Public Universities of Malaysia. The selection of narrative quotations based on the views of the informants was used to support the acculturation strategies adapted by the group. Four public universities of Malaysia were selected based on the classification of the universities, the background of the establishment of the university, and the annual enrolment of international students. The application of semi-structured interview methods was implemented by utilizing an inductive analysis approach. The results of the study presented five different strategies and cultural outcomes, namely (i) Assimilation of Developing Relationships with New Culture, (ii) Separation of Values and Characteristics of Indigenous Culture Based on Denial of Influence of New Culture, (iii) New Culture and Marginalisation of Indigenous Culture in Daily Life Practices, (iv) Integration of Preservation of Native Culture in Exploring New Culture and (iv) Transmutation of New and Old Culture in the Production of Alternative Culture. The new findings of this study had proven that the acculturation strategies used by the international student group at Public Universities of Malaysia have given different implications for the results of collateralisation. Some of the factors that contributed to the acceptance and rejection of acculturation are the age of young international students who are around the early twenties and therefore immature, educational background and family influence, status as a foreigner who does not reside for a long time in the host country, the cultural distance between the country of origin and the host country as well as justification for student mobility aimed at furthering their studies abroad.

Abstract The study investigated the use of Mandarin and Chinese dialects, and attitudes towards these languages among the Foochow living in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia. The study involved 408 Foochow respondents (204 children, 204 parents). As most of the respondents’ close friends, neighbours and colleagues were Foochow, and Chinese in general, Foochow and Mandarin were the two main languages used, but English, Malay and Iban were sometimes used with people from other ethnic groups. More parents felt at ease speaking Foochow in all situations but more children felt that it is nothing special to speak their dialect. The most cherished and emotionally expressive language for the parents was Foochow but for their children, it was Mandarin. More parents were aware of cultural associations and activities than their children. They believed that the use of Chinese dialects will decrease in future and intergenerational transmission of the dialect is important. Yet they were still looking to cultural associations and the government to promote their culture and dialect. The study indicated that the markers for membership of their Chinese dialect group are ancestry, language, living among people from the same dialect group, cultural practices and religion.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines how modernity has historically shaped developments in the industry of Iban popular music. The Iban make up one third of the Sarawakian population and are the largest indigenous ethnic group in Sarawak, Malaysia. As with other ethnicities in the nationstate, modernity has presented challenges for socio-cultural development and lifestyle of Iban people. Historically, the Iban are a cultural group located geographically and politically on the periphery of the multi-cultural nation of Malaysia. Throughout much of the 20th century, the music industry has experienced a rapid embrace of modernity through the nation to the detriment of traditional practices in culture in order to adapt themselves in the era of modernization. Iban society had gone through a state of flux where people have gone through the process of readapting themselves in meeting the demanding challenges of Malaysian nationalism. Drawing upon Barendregt’s (2014) ‘alternative conceptions of modernity’ this paper examines how the Iban reference both a national as well as a local music industry particularly through their use of language as an expression of Iban. First the paper will examine changes in Iban society through political and economic modernization. Then I look at differential transformation within Iban music industry because of relative exposure to agents of change such as the influence through Christian missionary and education. This reflects how the Iban react and reflect in adaptation of modern demands of change as a result of the effects of historical processes on the social, cultural and physical environments.
