[愛墾研創]一粒稻米，看似微小，卻可以承載一個地方的歷史、技術、產業與未來。

近日沙巴丹南多個稻區的 TR8 水稻種植成果[見：2026年8月25日詩華日報]，再次讓我們看見一個容易被忽略的事實：偏鄉並不等於落後，地方資源也不等於低價值；真正決定一個地方能否翻身的，是能不能把「在地知道什麼」轉化為「在地能做什麼」，再把「能做什麼」轉化為下一代可以學習、創業與生活的能力。

加里巴當巴魯、加里巴當拉馬、瓜拉托馬尼及梅萊斯等地的稻作經驗，正提供了一個非常具體的案例。

據州政府公布的資料，TR8 在部分丹南稻區已展現每公頃最高約10噸的產量潛力；加里巴當巴魯約67公頃稻田目前種植 TR8，近三年最高產量達每公頃10噸。現場抽取的稻穗，每穗約有165至185粒稻谷，預計產量可達每公頃8至9噸。這個數字尤其值得重視，因為同一資料指出，古打毛律稻米產區最高約每公頃5噸，特魯山沙比約4.5噸。

換句話說，真正值得關注的不是「10噸」這個漂亮的數字，而是10噸背後所代表的地方知識。

一、從「種田」到「知識生產」

傳統上，我們容易把農民理解成「做工的人」，把農業理解成「低技術產業」。這種觀念其實已經不符合現代農業。

今天的農業，涉及品種選擇、土壤管理、灌溉、氣候判讀、機械化、病蟲害管理、施肥、種子認證、數據分析、市場管理乃至品牌與電子商務。農民不只是把種子放進泥土的人，而是一種高度依賴經驗、判斷與技術的「地方知識工作者」。

TR8 的成功尤其說明這一點。

一個品種能不能達到高產，並不是單靠一包種子就能完成。它必須經過地方農民長期試種、調整、比較與累積經驗，再由農業局、技術人員與農民共同形成一套可複製的方法。當加里巴當巴魯被列為合法稻種衛星生產區時，地方農業的性質便發生了變化：

它不再只是生產稻米，而開始生產「如何生產稻米的知識」。

這個轉變，正是地方發展最珍貴的資產。

因此，丹南的真正資源，不只是土地，而是「土地＋農民＋技術＋制度＋經驗」所形成的知識系統。

二、「示範區」其實就是一所沒有圍牆的學校

州政府鼓勵其他農民到瓜拉托馬尼實地考察，尤其值得我們注意。

「不必特地前往雪蘭莪適耕莊，也不必去霹靂或吉打，直接來到瓜拉托馬尼，我們已經證明這里的水稻產量可以達到每公頃10噸。」

這句話的意義，遠遠超過農業推廣。

它其實提出了一種地方學習觀：最有效的教育，不一定發生在課室里，也可能發生在田里。

一片稻田，可以是一間實驗室；一名老農，可以是一位教師；一次收割，可以是一堂課；一台插秧機，可以是一件 STEM 教材；一組產量數據，可以是一份數學與商業案例。

這正好與我們前面討論的「鄉＋產＋學」理念相呼應。

鄉，是學習發生的地方；產，是學習面對的真實問題；學，則把地方經驗整理成可以傳承、分析、創新的知識。

三者結合，教育便不再是「學校教完、學生離開」，而是形成一個地方自己的學習循環。

三、這正是偏鄉獨中可以介入的地方

如果把丹南的 TR8 稻田放在馬來西亞華文獨中教育的脈絡中來看，尤其值得思考。

偏鄉獨中最大的困境，往往被理解成「學生少、資源少、升學選擇少」。但換一個角度看，偏鄉獨中其實擁有都市學校未必具備的優勢：它就在地方產業里。

學校距離稻田近，距離農民近，距離水果園近，距離漁業、旅遊、手工藝及地方企業近。這些並不是「課外資源」，而可以直接成為課程本身。

例如，一個「丹南 TR8 地方農業創新」Capstone Project，可以同時整合：

• 生物與科學：水稻品種、土壤、生態與病蟲害；
• 數學：每公頃產量、成本、收益與數據分析；
• 電腦與 AI：影像辨識、農業數據、AI 輔助研究；
• 工程與科技：插秧機、收割機、無人機與智慧農業；
• 華文：地方採訪、農業報導、人物故事；
• 國文與英文：三語農業資訊與國際傳播；
• 設計：稻米品牌、包裝與視覺識別；
• 商業：市場分析、電子商務與品牌行銷；
• 文化研究：地方墾荒史、農耕文化與移民記憶；
• 文創：稻米故事、農事體驗、地方旅遊與文化產品。

如此一來，學生學的便不再是彼此孤立的「科目」，而是一個真實存在於自己家鄉的問題。

這就是「文理合併」最有生命力的形式。

四、AI 不應該把孩子帶離土地，而應該讓孩子重新看見土地

AI 時代尤其需要重新思考這件事。

如果學生只是在網路上問 AI：「什麼是水稻？」他得到的答案可能比老師講得更快、更完整。

但是 AI 不知道的是：

為什麼這一片田的 TR8 可以達到10噸？

哪一位農民最早試種？

他失敗過幾次？

什麼時候下雨？

哪一塊田的土質不同？

農民如何憑經驗判斷稻穗成熟？

一台大型收割機為什麼進不了某些小田？

這些答案，存在於地方的人、土地與經驗之中。

因此，AI 最有價值的用途，不是代替地方知識，而是幫助地方知識被記錄、整理、比較、翻譯與再創造。

學生可以用手機訪談農民，用 AI 協助整理逐字稿；把數十年的種植經驗建立成地方知識庫；把農業資料視覺化；將華語、馬來語、英語資料互相翻譯；製作短視頻、Podcast、網站甚至互動地圖。

這時候，AI 就不再只是「答案機器」，而成為地方知識的放大器。

而華文獨中的三語優勢，更可以使這種地方知識跨越語言邊界，進入馬來西亞、華語世界乃至全球市場。

五、從「農民」培養「地方創業者」

更深一層看，這種教育還可以改變我們對職業的想像。

學生不一定要離開家鄉，才能證明自己成功。

一名學習農業科技的學生，可以成為智慧農業技術員；懂設計的，可以做地方農產品品牌；懂攝影與 AI 的，可以拍農業紀錄片；懂商業的，可以建立農產品電商；懂旅遊的，可以設計稻田體驗；懂文化研究的，可以整理地方墾荒史；懂工程的，可以改良小型農機。

如此一來，「農業」便不再只是農業。

它可以長出科技、設計、教育、旅遊、文化、物流、金融與創業等一整條地方產業鏈。

這正是我們愛墾網四分之一個世紀来所提倡的「鄉＋產＋學」。

它的終極目的，不是叫每個學生去當農民，而是讓每個學生理解：家鄉本身就是一個可以學習、創造與工作的世界。

六、一粒稻米，也可以成為地方文化的入口

更值得注意的是，農業不只是經濟問題，也是一個文化問題。

丹南的稻田背後，有墾荒史、有族群遷徙、有農民家庭史、有土地記憶，也有沙巴現代化過程的縮影。

如果學校把這些資料整理起來，便可以形成「丹南地方知識庫」。

學生訪問農民，記錄老照片；測繪稻田，繪製地方地圖；整理稻種故事；拍攝收割過程；研究農業工具；記錄農民語彙；製作三語網站；建立數位檔案。

最後甚至可以發展成「稻米博物館」、「農業文化節」、「稻田學校」、「青年農業創客基地」或「地方農業創意中心」。

這就是從產業知識走向文化生產。

而文化生產一旦與教育結合，便開始具有代際傳承的力量。

七、真正的地方振興，是讓年輕人看見留下來的理由

因此，丹南 TR8 的故事，最值得偏鄉教育借鑑的地方，並不是「每公頃10噸」本身，而是它告訴我們：

一個地方的未來，不必等待別人把答案送進來。

地方可以自己發現問題、自己累積知識、自己培養人才，再把知識變成產業，把產業變成教育，把教育再變成下一輪地方創新的力量。

這也正好回到我們一直討論的偏鄉獨中命題。

一所小獨中若只是努力維持學生人數，它只能求生存；如果它能把整個地方變成學習場域，它便開始具有發展功能；如果再把地方產業納入課程，把企業納入實習，把地方知識納入研究，把 AI 納入創作工具，那麼它便可能成為一座「地方知識生產中心」。

這時候，獨中便不再只是「華文教育的保存者」。

它可以成為地方文化的生產者、地方人才的培養者、地方產業的創新者，以及地方社區風貌的重建者。

一粒稻米養活一個人，一片稻田養活一個村落；而一套把「鄉、產、學」結合起來的教育，則有可能養活一個地方的未來。

這或許正是今天丹南 TR8 稻田，給偏鄉小獨中最重要的教育啟示：不要問偏鄉有什麼可以教，而要先問——這片土地，究竟已經知道了多少，而我們能不能讓下一代把這些「知道」，變成新的「能力」與「可能」。

Keningau Cinnamon

The name Keningau is derived from the Javanese cinnamon tree (Cinnamomun burmannii) which is abundant in the area. The tree is also known as "Kayu Manis" in Malay and it has also been referred to as the 'king of spice.' The bark of this tree was collected by the British North Borneo Company to be sold as spice.

Keningau used to be one of the most important administrative centres of the British in the early 1900s. The Japanese also made use of Keningau was one of its government centres during their occupation of Sabah in World War II.

The village of Nuntunan in Apin-Apin was known as "44" during British rule. This indicated its distance of 44 miles (71 kilometers) from Tenom, another British administration centre. Nuntunun was also known as "Office" because the British had its office by the Sg Apin-Apin riverbank which was later taken over by the Japanese. When the British returned after the surrender of the Japanese, the remaining Japanese soldiers surrendered at Nuntunan.

Climate

Keningau has a tropical climate with seasonal variations according the monsoon period. The north-east monsoon lasts from November to April and the south west monsoon, from May to October. Annual mean temperature ranges from 24 degrees C to 32 degrees C while rainfall averages at about 2,500 mm per annum. Mean relative humidity is about 74.2%.

Geography

The Keningau District has an area of 3,532 square kilometers (1,364 sq mi) and is situated in a valley surrounded by the Crocker Range to the west and the Trus Madi Range to the east and south.It is situated in a valley surrounded by the Crocker Range to the west and the Trus Madi Range to the east and south sides. For nature lovers and adventure seekers, Keningau is the place to be. Hike your way up Mount Trus Madi—the second highest peak in Malaysia after Mount Kinabalu—or get your camping gear ready and rough it at the Crocker Range Park.

Tuhau Tambunan

On my very 1st post in this blog, I would like to share one of a dish that is a proud of my people. It is called sambal tuhau (too-how). Sambal is equivalent to a dipping sauce and tuhau is the main ingredient to make it.

By mentioning the name alone, it is already mouth watering! So, it’s a yummy yummy dish and it’s a hot one.

For those who don’t have any idea about tuhau, perhaps some light background information will help.

Sambal tuhau is a traditional side dish prepared by the natives in Sabah, especially by the Dusun who lives in the interior. It’s perfect to accompany local rice wine or beer and to treat hangover :).

Other cousins of tuhau which is use by many in preparing delicacy are tumeric, galangal/red ginger and of course wild ginger.

The main ingredient is the tuhau which is scientifically known as E. coccinea a plant from zingerberaceae family, grown wildly and abundant in our tropical forest. This is how it looks like :

Alrite, enough said, lets go to the business! I’m gonna show you how to prepare the original sambal tuhau, the way we loves it so much in my home town.

Before anything, in order to make a really good sambal tuhau, you must get the freshest raw ingredient possible. If you know where to get it green around your area, go get it pls.

Main ingredient:

A) Tuhau : any amount, but to make a medium bowl portion, get 8-11 stems

B) Lime : 5 – 8 (depends on your preference, but I use 5 large size limes). Rice vinegar can replace lime, but your sambal will be less than half good.

C) Chillies : 1 pack (contains around 35-45 chillies). It must be a hot chillies like Thai chillies or in Malaysia we have the Cili padi @ bird’s eye chilli (I use this one – mind blowing hot).

Sabah Batik

Sabah batik is finally penetrating the international market.

The vision was made possible through the collaboration with Milano Deanoor Management Team who has years of experience in the fashion household.

Yayasan Sabah director cum Innorpise Corporation Sdn Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Datu Khalil Datu Jamalul in disclosing this, said through the collaboration, they had trained many youths in batik production.

Speaking at the Sabah Batik Crafted for the World International Catwalk Fashion Show 2012 on Monday, he described the event as special as it was evident that vision could indeed be turned into reality.

“The batik showcased are crafted by local talents with the guidance from international designers. This event marks the successful story of this collaboration and we are honoured that internationally acclaimed models will soon be wearing and showcasing the products produced by our local youths,” he said.

Also present at the event were Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman and wife Datin Seri Faridah Tussin, as well as cabinet ministers.

The batik making course was part of the programmes carried out at Sabah Handicraft Centre in Keningau, which was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on June 16 this year. Among other courses organised are woodcarving, crystal moulding and sewing.

“Although the centre was only fully operating early this year, we are confident that this event will be the right step in positioning it as a forefront avenue for the development of Sabah’s handicraft industry.

“In doing so and to fulfill the vision of the centre, we will continue to work with reputable handicraft households,” he said.（November 14, 2012 Borneo Post）

Kelarai, Ulu Tomani Tenom

One of the recently-launched Sabah Development Corridor main principles is promoting balanced economic growth and distribution by focusing on reduction of income disparity and poverty, and by creation of employment opportunities.

One way of achieving this is by encouraging community-based tourism, aimed at dispersing the benefits of tourism to the rural community. The goal is to move beyond generating local employment to facilitating local employment, with emphasis on village homestays and handicrafts.

Currently, however, the village homestay and handicraft programmes are poorly organised, with most villagers involved on a part-time basis and unable to make a viable living from these activities.

One strategy is to professionalise the programmes, with native handicrafts promoted under the ‘One District One Product’ programme.

According to Malaysian Handicrafts Corporation Sabah director Yusak Mahamud, the One District One Product projects include those in Sumangkap (gong making) and Tinangol (beadmaking) in Kudat; Kg Enam, Nabawan (bamboo and the wild creeper salingkawang); Kuala Abai, Kota Belud (parang making); Pulau Buru-Buru, Semporna (lepa carving) and Kg Sarap, Menumbok (pandan mats).

“Our main thrust in our craft-entrepreneur development programme is to raise competent entrepreneurs and create job opportunities at grassroots level through communal craft making using local materials and skills,he says.

Last year some 400 craftspeople in Sabah took part in 47 promotions at state and national levels, earning a total of RM1.1 million.

Sitti B. Damsal, general manager of Sri Pelancongan Sdn Bhd, a Sabah Tourism Board subsidiary, sees good prospects for Sabah handicrafts. She says: a good future for Sabah handicrafts if we can get the young people to be involved in handicraft making, as the practitioners now are mainly elderly people. Our role is to enhance the product quality, and at the same time to help rural people economic well-being.

We see a potential in the international market, as our handicrafts, just as our costumes and dances, reflect their own ethnic identity for example the Bajaus produce items with striking colour, while the products from Keningau and the interior have unique motifs.

Our handicrafts are also handmade in small quantities not mass-produced in factories.

Sri Pelancongan Kadaiku handicrafts shop, which stocks exclusively Sabah handicrafts, has seen its annual sales rise to almost RM500,000 in the last few years. Multipurpose baskets and small rinago containers sell quite well, Sitti says, especially to the Japanese These containers, made in Kudat from rattan and bamboo, are practical and easy to carry. Domestic tourists may go for the kelarai and serdang items. (Kelarai products are sourced from Kg Batu Lungayan and Kg Baginda (Keningau), Nabawan and Ulu Tomani (Tenom) while serdang items come from Kota Belud).

Tourists from Australia and Europe face a problem if they want to bring some of these home because of import restrictions against certain raw materials so they stick to buying souvenirs like key-chains, bead necklaces and accessories, as well as books Sitti says Sabah-made batik is also displayed, but there are few takers, mainly because their loud colours are not to the liking of Westerners, who tend to prefer muted, earthy colours.

The shop also stocks musical instruments. Gongs, as well as traditional costumes, are popular with locals during the Harvest Festival. A Dutch person who has a shop specialising in Borneo musical instruments recently bought a gambus, the traditional musical instrument of the Brunei Malay community. Three pairs of brass or gut strip are traditionally plucked with the claw of an ant-eater. Gambu seludang is made in Bongawan of nyiri wood. It takes two weeks to complete a gambus, which can sell for RM800-1200.

Kadaiku staff go to villages to buy the handicrafts, but sometimes the villagers themselves bring their products to the shop. One well-known supplier is Julita Kulinting, 42, from Kg Batu Lungayan. One of her multi-purpose baskets, made of bamboo/salingkawang and rattan, earned her a seal of excellence from Unesco and the Asean Handicrafts Promotion and Development Association (AHAPADA) in 2003, one of three Sabahan craftspeople to be so honoured that year. (The other two are Kamisah Hj. Dullah @ Zalikah of Keningau for her bamboo, salingkawang and rattan basket, and Kumisah Ginsos, also of Keningau, for her multipurpose bamboo/salingkawang and rattan basket)

The seal recognises demonstrated excellence and standard setting high quality craftsmanship, creative and successful alliance of traditional skills and innovative application of indigenous materials, traditional technique and endogenous design, expression of cultural identity and traditional aesthetic value and respect for the environment.
