“…For example, due to the porous borderline between these two states, economic activities flourish near the border, allowing transnational transactional activities between people of Sarawak and Kalimantan. People living near Sarawak and Kalimantan borders have lived in peace through cultural sharing and active economic activities (Bariyah, Lau, & Mansor, 2012;Awang, Sulehan, Bakar, Abdullah, & Liu, 2013). Due to the proximity of both states, people on both sides of the borders have had blood, and social ties since long before modern geopolitical boundaries were established (Ardhana, Langub, & Chew, 2004).…”

Stringent border control is one of the methods to secure national security across the world. Securing the border is essential for both economic and political reasons. In Sarawak, border security is one of the most discussed topics on the social media domain when it comes to state security concerns. Due to the porous Sarawak-Kalimantan border, a worrisome number of illegal activities had been recorded. Throughout the years, cases such as illegal crossings, drug syndicates, kidnapping, auto theft, smuggling, infiltration of illegal immigrants were reported to local authorities. These are among many other cases that highlight the gravity of the security issue near the Sarawak-Kalimantan border. Despite the continuous effort to increase security by Sarawak government through establishments of five new guard posts in Sarawak in 2018, security issues near the borderline is still a great concern. Sarawak is vulnerable not only along its border with Indonesia but also its shore and airspace. This research aims to explore the contemporary security issues near Sarawak-Kalimantan borders and efforts taken by the authorities to minimize security threats along the borderline. Through content analysis of Facebook discourse on security issues in Sarawak and in-depth interviews with eight informants-the findings of this research are hoped to be able to provide more updated data on Sarawak security issues with particular focus on border safety.

“…labour, raw materials and finance). In fact, in many developing regions, cross-border entrepreneurship, including cross-border informal trade, has been regarded as one of the mechanisms to develop economic growth of the local community (Aralas et al, 2017;Bariyah et al, 2012). Nevertheless, many previous researches highlighted several common strategic issues pertaining cross-border entrepreneurship in Malaysia, including socioeconomic vulnerability, security, ethnic relations, and business practice differences (Awang et al, 2013;Sunarya & Sudaryono, 2016;Thai & Turkina, 2014).…”

“…These common legacies play a big role in the sustenance S o c i o l o g i j a i p r o s t o r and continuity of relationship of the inter-border communities. Additionally, the porous Sarawak-Kalimantan border accentuates trans-border movements (Bariyah, Lau and Mansor, 2012), although mostly without valid passes and only using forest tracks, known as "jalan tikus" or the mouse path, which are regarded by the locals as the traditional routes before inter-border roads and linkages were built (Amster and Lindquist, 2005). This "jalan tikus" or illegal routes, is of course of convenience and an advantage for people wanting to seek employment, conducting cross-border trade, finding access to social facilities like clinics, schools or simply to visit their relatives on each side of the border.…”

Small communities living on the margin of development generally face a myriad of issues and challenges. Paradoxically, although livelihood is a major concern for these communities, their integration into the mainstream of development seems a remote and endless problem. This article, therefore, has three objectives. Firstly, it discusses the socio-economic dynamics of the Sarawak-Kalimantan border communities whose villages are obscured from the mainstream of development. Lately, villages and small townships along this border had caught the attention of the media, ** Corresponding author Sociologija i prostor, 51 (2013) 197 (3): 547-562 548S o c i o l o g i j a i p r o s t o r politicians, planners and researchers. This was the consequent result of media highlights on Malaysia-Indonesia border disputes and cultural issues, which were further expanded to encompass matters relating to national security and economic interests of both countries. However, the socio-economic plights of these border communities were seldom articulated. Secondly, based on case studies conducted between 2009 and 2010, this paper focuses on issues of livelihood and sustainability of these border communities, particularly the Bidayuh ethnic living in Serikin (Sarawak) and JagoiBabang (West Kalimantan). The studies especially focused on the participation of these villagers in the socio-economic spheres within the border areas, and also assessed to what extent the livelihoods of these villagers were influenced and affected by such dynamics. Lastly, by exploring the possible theoretical explanation of the unique social phenomenon taking place at the margin of development in Malaysia, this article examines the embedded cultural and social affiliations which help sustain the tradition of economic exchange between communities on both sides of the borders.
