1,000 students to receive Sabah State Scholarship
Gulamhaidar KOTA KINABALU (July 20): The Sabah State Government continues to intensify its efforts in providing quality education through a wide range of ongoing and sustainable initiatives. The Sabah State Scholarship Award of Excellence (ABCNS), the Sabah State Government Scholarship (BKNS) and the Sabah Islamic Religious Council Excellence Award for exceptional Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) and Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) students, respectively, are among the State Government's initiatives, representing the pinnacle of academic recognition in the State. This year, the 36th Sabah State Scholarship Award of Excellence Ceremony is jointly organised by the Yayasan Sabah Group, the Sabah State Public Service Department (JPANS), and the Sabah Islamic Religious Council (MUIS) as part of a collaborative effort to broaden recognition for outstanding students from various academic streams. This prestigious event will celebrate 40 high-achieving SPM students who will receive ABCNS through the Yayasan Sabah Group. Additionally, 50 STPM students and 10 students pursuing their studies overseas will be awarded BKNS through JPANS, while 17 STAM students will receive the Sabah Islamic Religious Council Excellence Award in recognition of their outstanding academic achievements. This ceremony will be graced by the Chief Minister cum Chairman of the Yayasan Sabah Board of Trustees, Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji bin Haji Noor, on July 21 at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC). In a statement, the director of Yayasan Sabah, Dato' Sri Haji Gulamhaidar @ Yusof bin Khan Bahadar, said, 'The award is not merely an academic accolade, it is a strategic investment in Sabah's future. Through this initiative, we aim to cultivate a generation of young leaders who are not only academically distinguished but also competitive, leadership-driven, and ready to advance the State's progress.' The initiative by the Sabah State Government, through the Yayasan Sabah Group, JPANS and MUIS, aims to inspire and motivate top-tier students to achieve excellence across all disciplines consistently. 'We acknowledge that the next generation represents the nation's greatest asset. Sabah's future depends on our ability to mould young people who are not only knowledgeable and resilient, but also guided by strong values. Therefore, to sustain the progress and prosperity we enjoy today, we must channel our efforts towards equipping them with the knowledge and skills essential for creating a balanced future generation,' he stated. A total of 1,000 students from schools within the Kota Kinabalu area will participate in the event, serving as a source of inspiration and sparking their motivation to strive for academic excellence. 'To all the award recipients, may your excellence continue to shine indefinitely. Let these achievements inspire humility rather than complacency. While we have celebrated many successes, it is crucial to remember that past victories do not guarantee future triumphs. We must remain diligent and proactive to ensure continued success,' he added. As a cornerstone of Sabah's development, educational initiatives such as these should be further strengthened and broadened in scope by the Sabah State Government through the Yayasan Sabah Group, JPANS, and MUIS to advance the State's progress, with a firm emphasis on advancing educational excellence.

China, Taiwan investors boost Sabah-MM2H applications
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's Malaysia My Second Home (Sabah-MM2H) programme has seen a rise in applications from investors in China, Taiwan and other countries, said Datuk Seri Christina Liew ( pic ). Liew, who chairs the Sabah-MM2H programme, credits the increase to the efforts of registered agents since the programme's launch. 'We've received more applications from China, Taiwan and several other countries. We encourage you to continue promoting the programme overseas through roadshows and other platforms,' she told 25 registered agents during a meeting on Thursday. The state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister said Sabah hopes to attract more foreign applicants to invest in property and make the state their second home. During the meeting, she informed the agents about several amendments to the programme criteria approved by the state Cabinet. Among the changes is the lowering of the minimum age for applicants from 30 to 25. Successful applicants can now also place the required fixed deposit in any of the 12 authorised commercial banks. They may withdraw up to 50% of the deposit after 12 months for education or medical expenses. Liew said agents responded positively to the changes, viewing them as more appealing to potential applicants. She also noted several concerns raised by agents, particularly regarding the classification of eligible properties for purchase. 'These matters will be discussed in our next monthly meeting,' she assured them. Liew added that the Sabah-MM2H Committee has been efficient in processing and approving overseas applications.
