SUMMARY:Uncovering Syed Kechik's Secret History
DESCRIPTION:The Sabah Society presents a historical talk on another aspect of Sabah history that has long been forgotten about and that is Syed Kechik.\n\nThe historical talk discusses who he was\, and how did he become de-facto Chief Minister of Sabah in the early 1970s as well as what was his role in changing the landscape of Sabah politics and economy forever.\n\nWe refer to this period historically as a period of the growth of federalism in Sabah.\n\nAvtar Singh presents his 2nd talk on Syed Kechik from a historical perspective and presents  historical observations of the time from 1965 to 1976.\n\nThese historical observations are meant to stimulate greater discussion and further research on the period between 1967 till 1976 to better understand our own history.\n\nWHO IS AVTAR SINGH?\n\nAvtar Singh spent 24 years in the retail industry as a sponsorship manager and events manager for a major international sporting brand for the Borneo region. He trained as a retail and operations manager before leaving the industry to start a small enterprise to help struggling SME’s conduct business turn-arounds for SMEs in distress.\n\nHe began his work and research in history in 2015 and published his first historical book in 2017 on the history of Indian’s serving in the German Army during WW2.\n\nHe has since presented talks on the Battle of Midway\, the False Narratives of the Sulu Sultanate over Sabah\, Piracy\, Kidnapping and Slavery of North Borneo Natives by the Sulu Sultanate as well as early Sikh history in North Borneo.\n\nHe is the great-great grandson of Bhagat Singh\, the first Sikh to have arrived in North Borneo as a policeman in 1868 and is a 5th generation Sabahan.\n\nBorn in Kota Kinabalu and having lived overseas in Singapore\, Australia and the United States\, he is now currently a project researcher with the Goethe Institute of Germany on a project called ‘Borneo Perantis.’

SUMMARY:10 talking points from the secret Australian government files on North Borneo & the formation of Malaysia | Avtar Singh  | Thur\, 7 Dec 2023 | 8PM
DESCRIPTION:Towards the end of the 1950s\, secret discussions were held within the British government and their allies (Australia & the United States) on the possibilities of some form of a union of Malaya\, Singapore and the Borneo Territories.\n\nColonial Officers privately suggested a union of the Borneo Territories only. However\, the negotiations of any union were complicated\, fraught with distrust\, and a complete misunderstanding of the people of Borneo\, their cultures and how they lived their lives.\n\nBy 1961\, due to external pressures from the United Nations and the spread of communism within South East Asia\, the British Government had no choice but to force a union which the people of North Borneo clearly did not want.\n\nBut what made the representatives of the people of North Borneo (and Sarawak) change their minds and what central role did the United Nations play in forcing this union?\n\nAvtar Singh has been researching secret Australian diplomatic documents and files since January 2023 and has completed the reading of over 9\,000 pages of documents over the past 9 months and has selected 10 key talking points not previously known or acknowledged as being central to the reasons why North Borneo had no choice but to participate in the union that led to the formation of Malaysia.\n\nHis research also coincides with a book he is currently writing titled “The Thomas Jayasuria Interviews” which will be published in late 2024.

SUMMARY:Carbon Trading: An Idea Whose Time Has Come
DESCRIPTION:Carbon Trading- An Idea Whose Time Has Come\n\nThe state government of Sabah has taken sustainable development to the whole new level. Nature Conservation Agreement (NCA) between the State of Sabah and Hoch Standard PTE LTD that was signed on 28 October 2021 aim to selling forest carbon storage and sequestration and its other ecological services to companies interested in buying credits to offset their CO2 emissions. It would include more than two million ha of forest\, supposedly to restore it from mining\, logging and industrial agriculture for the next 100 years or so. Against this background\, this paper discussed the essence of carbon trading. Drawing examples from carbon deals around the world\, we examined the prevailing conventional wisdom or the forgone conclusion that keeping trees standing is better than cutting them down. What are the advantages and disadvantages of trading forest carbon storage and sequestration? Who would gain and who would lose?\n\nSpeaker – Dr. James Alin\nMember of the Faculty of Business\, Economics and Accountancy\, Universiti Malaysia Sabah since 2003. Publications related mostly to economics of conserving wildlife and natural areas. Holder of external positions; as Senior Research Fellow\, Centre for Local Government\, University New England-Business School\, Australia; Senior Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor\, Center for Strategic Policy and Governance\, Palawan State University\, Philippines and Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business\, Universitas Deponegoro\, Republic Indonesia.

SUMMARY:The Innovation of A Coastal Reservoir in Sabah
DESCRIPTION:Coastal Reservoir is a technology that develops river water in the sea near a river mouth. It is a paradigm shift in water resources development from storing water in mountainous dams to storing freshwater by the coast.\n\nThe mountainous dams in upstream become “sword of Damocles” to downstream people. CR technology can act as barrier to protect coast from earthquake. CR also can be developed into freshwater agriculture farm\, energy and tourism. CR has potential to transform neglected and polluted coastal area into a sustainable freshwater township.\n\nMalaysia is a tropical Southeast Asian country with a steady annual rainfall and river flow pattern. The enormous river networks provide enough supply to build a coastal reservoir\n\nAccording to this research\, embankment design and reservoir operation must account for climate change implications such as rising groundwater level\, changing streamflow discharge during intense and extended droughts\, floods\, and water quality issues.\n\nFor more information\, please do contact us at 013-880 9850 or email sabahsoc@gmail.com\n\nSpeaker bio data – Datuk Ir.

SUMMARY:The Inequality of the Borneo States and How to Close the Gap After 60 Years
DESCRIPTION:Tawfik Tun Dr Ismail talk jointly organised by Sabah Society and SABAR Trustees on August 19\, 2023\, Time: 8.00 pm\, Venue: 8th floor KPJ Hall.\n\nTitle: Inequality in the Borneo states and how to close the gap after 60 years in Malaysia\n\nHistorian Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr Teo Kok Seong\, said the late Tun Dr Ismail was also seen as an icon of unity because he often called and reminded Malaysians regardless of race and religion to get along with each other to create mutual understanding. “The three elements that Tun Dr Ismail emphasised in strengthening unity were inter-ethnic relations\, getting to know each other and understanding each other’s cultures.”\n\nHis fathers’ ideas or philosophy resonates with East Malaysians and Tawfik as the eldest son and co-founder of ‘Malaysia First’ promotes a closer relation between East and West Malaysia. This year the government is celebrating Tun Ismail’s legacy and Sabah Society and SABAR have invited Tawfik to share his views on Inequality in the Borneo states and how to close the gap after 60 years in Malaysia.\n\nMr. Mohamed Tawfik Bin Tun Dr. Ismail bio\n\n“Mr. Mohamed Tawfik Bin Tun Dr. Ismail was formerly a Member of Parliament for Sungai Benut currently Simpang Renggam\, Johor. He is the eldest son of Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman\, the late 2nd Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. He was tasked to set up TV3\, Malaysia’s first commercial TV station in 1984. He worked occasionally as consultant for the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies\, Singapore and has contributed articles to its publications.\n\nTawfik is a graduate of the University of New England and the University of Oxford. His books include “Malaysia’s First Year at the United Nations” and “Drifting into Politics: The Unfinished Memoirs of Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman ” (both with Ooi Kee Beng). He is a co-founder of Malaysia First and Gerak Independent. In 2022\, Tawfik contested the Bagan Datuk parliamentary seat himself as an independent challenging Zahid Hamidi\, President of UMNO and others to create new political dynamics away from race and religion.”

SUMMARY:The real reason for species extinctions: Human Cognitive Bias and Risk Aversion |  Datuk Dr John Payne
DESCRIPTION:I will start with a 45-minute documentary\, filmed from 2013-2015\, and released in 2016\, that outlines the story of the final years of the Hairy rhinoceros (usually known as the Sumatran rhinoceros) from the Sabah perspective. I will then take 15 minutes to outline why this species went extinct over a 5\,000 year time frame\, starting from its former stronghold in southern China\, and now leaving Sumatra as the only place where a few fertile female rhinos of this species remain. The clear message is that human cognitive biases\, risk aversion and other human psychological and emotional syndromes (and not habitat loss or poaching) led to the extinction of this species throughout its range\, and why it will go extinct in the lifetime of younger listeners. I will briefly add a few additional lessons learned\, that can help to prevent the extinction of other Malaysian wildlife species.\n\nTime: 8.00PM\n\nDate: Thursday  |  27 Apr 2023\n\nVenue:  The Sabah Society Secretary\, Damai Plaza\, Luyang.\n\nTel: 013 – 880 9850
