In this paper we focus on the Lundayeh indigenous minority in Long Pasia, Sabah by examining how their traditional food practices help them navigate environmental challenges. Deforestation and logging threaten the very core of the Lundayeh identity because the community’s livelihood as subsistence farmers depends on hunting as well as gathering forest resources. This paper argues that, despite the continuous challenges, Lundayeh food practices, albeit exercised in modified forms, provide an avenue to revisit past traditions in order for the community’s indigeneity and sovereignty to survive and be safeguarded. The findings of this research project suggest that through hunting techniques, foraging, paddy cultivation, agricultural cooperative work, as well as religiously sensitive food adaptation practices, the Lundayeh’s relationship with the land endures, which in turn, secures the community’s indigenous identity.
ABSTRACT The Kadazandusun language (BKD) teacher’s training programme in Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) started with 20 students for the Kadazandusun Preparatory Programme’s First Batch registered on the 20thJune 2012 at Institute of Teacher Education Kent Campus. This batch of students had to undergo three semesters of Preparatory Programme (PPISMP) before proceeding to do their Bachelor of Teaching Programme (PISMP) which took another eight semesters. A lot of preparation needed to be done by IPGM, especially by Kent Teacher Education Institute Campus which is the first campus to offer training for BKD teacher’s preparatory course. This research aims to observe the major preparations which had been done by Kent Campus before receiving its first batch of BKD students. The research also discusses the first group of lecturers and students who were involved in the training of BKD teachers as well as the list of BKD courses offered under the PPISMP and PISMP curriculum. A narrative historical approach was used in this research and most discussions had been done in a chronological order. Data was collected from primary sources such as minutes of meetings, proposals and paperworks, reports, letters and newspapers cuttings as well as interviews with those directly involved in the early preparation of the BKD training. The research findings revealed that two main preparations were done before the BKD Preparatory Programme was offered, namely, equipping of the lecturers and setting of the Pro forma for the BKD curriculum. The findings also showed that all the lecturers and students for the first intake were native speakers of the different dialects of Kadazan Dusun from various districts in Sabah. ABSTRAK Program Latihan guru Bahasa Kadazandusun (BKD) di Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) bermula apabila seramai 20 orang pelajar PPISMP BKD ambilan pertama mendaftar pada 25 Jun 2012 di Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Kampus Kent. Kumpulan ini mengikuti kursus persediaan selama tiga semester sebelum meneruskan pengajian ke Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PISMP) selama 8 semester. Banyak persediaan awal telah dilakukan oleh IPGM khususnya IPG Kampus Kent selaku perintis kepada penawaran latihan guru melalui PPISMP BKD. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti persediaan utama yang telah dilakukan oleh IPG Kampus Kent sebelum menerima pelajar PPISMP BKD. Kajian ini juga mengenalpasti pensyarah dan pelajar perintis yang terlibat dalam latihan guru BKD serta senarai kursus yang ditawarkan dalam kurikulum PPISMP dan PISMP BKD. Kajian ini dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah naratif dengan hampir keseluruhan perbincangan adalah dalam bentuk kronologi. Kaedah pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah mengumpul sumber-sumber primer seperti minit mesyuarat, kertas cadangan dan kertas kerja, dokumen perjanjian, laporan, surat menyurat dan keratan akhbar bekaitan serta temu bual dengan individu yang terlibat langsung dengan persediaan awal latihan guru BKD. Kajian mendapati terdapat dua persediaan awal yang telah dilakukan sebelum penawaran PPISMP BKD iaitu persediaan tenaga pengajar dan penggubalan Pro Forma iaitu kurikulum BKD. Dapatan kajian juga memperlihatkan bahawa semua pensyarah dan pelajar perintis BKD adalah penutur jati pelbagai dialek Kadazan Dusun dari pelbagai daerah di negeri Sabah.
Abstrak Pada tahun 1961, Kerajaan Amerika Syarikat telah menubuhkan satu agensi Peace Corps sebagai program bantuan sukarelawan kepada negara Dunia Ketiga. Sukarelawan Peace Corps memainkan peranan penting dalam diplomasi secara membina hubungan sosial yang akrab dengan penduduk tempatan, selain daripada memberi bantuan dari segi kemahiran teknikal dalam bidang pendidikan, kesihatan, pembangunan masyarakat dan pertanian. Malaysia merupakan antara negara pertama menerima bantuan Peace Corps pada tahun 1962. Artikel ini memberi fokus terhadap perbincangan tentang kewujudan diplomasi bilateral antara negara Amerika Syarikat dan Malaysia, konsep diplomasi Peace Corps dan perkembangan programnya di Malaysia sehingga ditamatkan pada tahun 1983. Abstract In 1961, the United States Government had established a Peace Corps agency as a volunteer assistance program to Third World countries. Peace Corps volunteers play an important role in diplomacy by building closer social ties with locals, besides providing aid in terms of technical skills in the field of education, health, community development, and agriculture. Malaysia is one of the first countries to receive Peace Corps assistance in 1962. This article focuses on the existence of bilateral diplomacy between the United States and Malaysia, the concept of Peace Corps diplomacy, and the development of its program in Malaysia until the termination in 1983.
AbstrakPembentukan Malaysia adalah satu proses penggabungan sebuah negara merdeka dengan jajahan ‘berkerajaan sendiri’ British di Asia Tenggara bagi membentukkan sebuah negara persekutuan yang baharu. Penggabungan ini telah dikompromikan secara perundangan yang melibatkan tiga peringkat perundingan yang komprehensif dari 1961 hingga 1963, iaitu MSCC, Suruhanjaya Cobbold, dan IGC. Wujud kekeliruan dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia mengenai makna dan sejarah Hari Malaysia, yang disambutkan pada 16 September. Sabah dan Sarawak merupakan negeri kedua belas dan ketiga belas dalam Persekutuan Malaysia. Semenjak tahun 2010, rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak mula kembali berpolemik tentang dua tarikh bersejarah, iaitu 31 Ogos dan 16 September yang secara langsung mempertikaikan status quo ‘negeri’ dalam Persekutuan Malaysia. Makalah ini cuba menyediakan satu perspektif sejarah berasaskan sumber utama semasa proses tersebut. AbstractThe formation of Malaysia is a process of merging an independent state with British 'self-governing' colonies in Southeast Asia to form a new federal state. The merger was legally compromised involving three levels of comprehensive consultation from 1961 to 1963, namely the MSCC, the Cobbold Commission, and the IGC. There has been confusion among Malaysians on the meaning and history of Malaysia Day, which was celebrated on 16 September. Sabah and Sarawak are the 12th and 13th states in the Federation of Malaysia. Since 2010, the people of Sabah and Sarawak have begun to a polemic about two historical dates, namely August 31 and September 16 which directly disputes the status quo of 'state' within the Federation of Malaysia. This article attempts to provide a historical perspective based on the major sources during the process.
