SUMMARY:TSS KK Virtual talk: Parks & Public Spaces in the Kota Kinabalu \, focus on Sembulan River Park and Tanjung Aru Beach
DESCRIPTION:Infra structures facilities are the heart and soul of a city. A City cannot function without its basic infrastructure such as Road\, Drainage\, Electricity\, Telecommunication\, Water\, Solid Waste disposal and Sewage treatment system.\n\nI was involved in drafting the Draft Kota Kinabalu Structure Plan 2030\, Kota Kinabalu Local Plan 2020 and its Memorandum with DBKK where all the basic infra structure matter were debated\, planned and reported.\n\nThe focus of the talk tonight is about “Parks and Public Spaces” in Kota Kinabalu where in KK\, we do have some great parks and public spaces. Some of the significant parks in KK are Tun Fuad Park at Bukit Padang\, Likas bay\, Ujana Rimba Tropica at Jalan Penampang\, Likas Sports Complex\, Perdana Park at Tanjung Aru\, Sembulan River Park\, and of course last but not least the in famous Prince Philip Park and Tanjung Aru Beach.\n\nSince we are blessed with the year-round wonderful weather\, can we make our Parks and Open Spaces better and link them together ?\n\n2007\, I have the opportunity to work with Minister of Tourism and DBKK to prepared a Term of Reference to solicit infrastructure funding of RM100 Million from the Federal Government to fund a series of Park and Open Spaces Projects. Three projects were identified and two of the projects were partially completed.\n\nSo tonight \, I will share with you on some of the projects I am involved in and hopefully I will be able to continue to contribute my ideas to create more parks and public spaces in KK to make KK becoming one of the most Liveable City in the region if not in the world. There are still many short coming and challenges we have to face\, political issues to overcome\, compromises we have to take and God willing\, I hope we can achieve what we want in our life time for the future generation and their children.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/5029652692\n\nMeeting ID: 502 965 2692\n\n\n\nSpeaker:  Architect Sim Sie Hong\, age 56.\n\nAr.

SUMMARY:TSS KK and Sdk Virtual talk | Thur 14 Jan 2020 | Early History of Sandakan Bay & German Town | Rosalie Corpuz
DESCRIPTION:Dear all\,\n\nIt has been a while since we all met and hope that all of you have been keeping well. The year 2020 has been a very challenging year in all aspects\, may it be economically\, socially and physically.\n\nTherefore for 2021\, we hope that when the situation gets better\, we would be able to have meetings again and catch up with each other\, until then any talks organized will be conducted online. Well\, the inability to meet physically does not mean that we stop learning more about Sabah. \n\nTherefore for the month of January\, the Sabah Society (KK & SDK) will be holding an online talk on “Early History of Sandakan Bay & German Town”. Am sure the phrase “German town” would have raised a lot of question marks and wonder how it relates to Sandakan Bay? Well\, do come and join us as our speaker Rosalie Corpuz (a.k.a Lala) will tell us more. Personally\, I have known Lala for quite a number of years and I must say every single conversation I had with her\, I am guaranteed to leave with deeper insights to either the culture or history of Sabah. She is a speaker who is very passionate on all the subjects she works on and not to forget witty as well. Therefore\, I am very sure the talk would be a night where all of us will learn something more about Sandakan.\n\nDetails are as follows:\nDate: 14th January 2021 (Thursday)\nTime: 8 p.m.\nVenue: Zoom (Meeting ID: 841 9330 8804/ Passcode: 885083)\n\nSee you there and also Happy New Year to all of you!\n\nEyen\nTSS Sandakan Chairlady \n\nP/S Dearest members\, kindly please remember to renew your membership for KK and Sandakan areas ~ President\, Datuk Dr Heng Aik Cheng.

SUMMARY:TSS KK Talk - Tues\, 11 Aug 2020  |  The 1963 Malaysia Agreement: Pakatan's failed restoration & Perikatan's fledging initiatives
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decades\, people of the Borneo States (Sabah and Sarawak) have felt that their rights under MA63 have been violated\, and a sense of distrust toward the federal-state relationship in a Peninsula-dominated Malaysia. The call for the federal government to fulfill its MA63 obligations surfaces during every election\, but in recent years MA63 has increasingly resonated in the political arena. The 14th general elections\, May 2018\, saw Sabah and Sarawak secure campaign promises for increased political autonomy over religious matters\, education\, health\, and fiscal control over their development agendas. Expectations of progress ran high\, given the unprecedented change of federal government. The frustrations run deep; some East Malaysians have called for Sabah and Sarawak to secede from Malaysia if their demands are not met. These issues resonate again\, in the aftermath of Pakatan Harapan’s collapse.\n\nThis talk discusses the MA63 issues\, the unfulfilled promises by the signatories of MA63\, and federal state relationship with regards to revenue. Dr Johan unpack the attempts by the Pakatan government to resolve the major issues concerning MA63 and Perikatan government fledging initiatives to follow on Pakatan’s unfulfilled promises.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Johan Ariffin was formerly the CEO of Institute for Development Studies\, a Sabah government think tank. He holds a Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of South Australia and an MBA from the University of Hull. He has worked with several multinational corporations\, including ExxonMobil\, and held board positions of several leading companies including Shell Timor and Petronas subsidiary companies. Dr Johan has also served as Deputy Director of the Sabah State Foundation in charge of education development\, while concurrently spearheading oil and gas development for the state. He is a member of G25\, and a regular columnist contributing opinion articles to online news portals and the Daily Express\, Kota Kinabalu.\n\nKindly please take note that we are still under RMCO. Therefore all SOP’s set by the Government will be in place ie recording of temperature\, use of face mask and social distancing of 1M apart.\n\nAs such\, we are opening the Secretariat for only max 15 paxs – kindly please register at email: sabahsoc@gmail.com or whatsapp: 013 – 880 9850\n\nFor those who would like to view online\, we shall provide the zoom link at a later date.\n\n

SUMMARY:Joint event by The Sabah Society KK & Sandakan and Forever Sabah Institute | Thur\, 30 July 2020
DESCRIPTION:Ada Blanche Locke spent 16 years in North Borneo as consort of Victorian explorer and naturalist\, William Burgess Pryer\, the founder of Sandakan\, and first white resident of the East Coast. Her vivid and eloquent recollection of daily life in the formative years of British North Borneo are brought to life in this highly-awaited biographical volume by author and aspiring artist\, June Adeline Corpuz. Accentuated with June’s scenic etchings of late-19th century Sandakan and watercolour sketches by William Pretyman\, the West Coast Resident in the late 19th century\, the book captures Mrs Pryer’s momentous years at its most evocative.\n\nJune Adeline Corpuz is the granddaughter of Penghalo Stanilaus Dominic\, an orphan from a royal house of sea-faring tribe\, who was brought up by the Pryers. June migrated to England initially to complete her education\, but ultimately\, as a banking professional for forty years. On retirement\, curiosity about her childhood stories compelled June to research passionately into the heritage of the Pryers that eventually formed the basis for this book and the biography of Mrs Pryer. \n\nPlease email to sabahsoc@gmail.com with your information – Full name\, email\, Country\, City\, Organisation and Job Title and we will provide you the zoom link.\n\nFor our members here in Kota Kinabalu\, Sabah – we are specially opening The Secretariat for only max 20 paxs to join in via Group Zoom.
