An interesting study on the occurrences of sinkholes (>100 in number) in the Bau area, Kuching Division in Sarawak was conducted in 1993-1994. Unfortunately, the results of the study cannot be presented here for the time being (CONFIDENTIAL!) --perhaps some time in the near future, hopefully?

For the interested reader and also as a reminder that sinkholes occur world-wide in limestone areas, the following references provide interesting readings: Beck (1984), Beck and William (1987) and Beck (1989). For example, the famous Winter Park sinkhole in central Florida which developed between May 8-13, 1981, had an initial diameter of -106 m and a depth of 30 m! It destroyed various facilities and utilities, including a house, several businesses, several cars and a swimming pool and caused major problems for the city of Winter Park (Jammal, 1984). Fortunately, no personal injuries were involved.
