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.

Yayasan Sabah extends 30% Madani loan rebate programme

Gulamhaidar KOTA KINABALU (June 30): Following an overwhelmingly positive response, Yayasan Sabah Group is extending the 30 per cent Madani Rebate Programme for its education loan borrowers. Initially set to end on 30 June 2025, the programme will continue for another three months until 30 September 2025. Through this programme, Yayasan Sabah Group education loan borrowers interested in fully settling their loans are eligible for a special rebate of 30 per cent on their outstanding loan balance. This substantial rebate is aimed at easing the financial burden on borrowers. It is part of Yayasan Sabah Group's initiative to encourage more borrowers to fulfill their repayment responsibilities and to expedite the recycling of funds for future students pursuing higher education. Since the programme's introduction on 1 April 2025, a total of RM232,817 rebates have been enjoyed by 96 borrowers who fully settled their loans as of 20 June 2025, nearly three months after the programme's launch. Yayasan Sabah Group has also successfully collected RM651,680 in lump sum repayments from borrowers who took up this rebate offer. According to the director of Yayasan Sabah, Dato' Sri Haji Gulamhaidar bin Khan Bahadar, 'This rebate is a manifestation of the Yayasan Sabah Group management's concern for the target group to ease their repayment commitments, in line with our role in complementing the government's efforts in advancing education development. Yayasan Sabah Group's education loan borrowers who can participate in this programme are urged to seize this opportunity to enjoy this significant 30 per cent rebate.' 'To attract more Yayasan Sabah Group education loan borrowers to take up this 30 per cent rebate offer through lump sum settlement, Yayasan Sabah Group is also offering exciting prizes through a lucky draw. Among the prizes are a three-day two-night stay package at Borneo Rainforest Lodge, Lahad Datu, for two people worth over RM8,000, along with more than 20 other attractive prizes sponsored by the Yayasan Sabah Group's subsidiaries,' he added. 'In addition, Yayasan Sabah Group education loan borrowers who have yet to start repaying their loans or have stopped making instalment payments and thus have outstanding arrears, are urged to fulfil their obligations stipulated in their loan agreements. Compliance with loan repayments will contribute to the sustainability of Yayasan Sabah Group's revolving education sponsorship fund, especially as the number of future sponsorship applicants is expected to increase significantly,' he further explained. He continued, 'In conjunction with the current intake season for higher education institutions and in line with the rising demand for sponsorship, previous beneficiaries of the Yayasan Sabah Group sponsorship are reminded not to neglect their responsibility to settle their education loan repayments, to allow new students the opportunity to pursue their studies.' Yayasan Sabah Group also announced enhancements to the Education Loan Repayment Portal, which was launched in March 2025 as a platform to facilitate borrowers in making repayments and obtaining information related to their loan accounts. 'These enhancements, which will take effect starting August 2025, will allow Yayasan Sabah Group education loan borrowers to register for access to various services offered through the portal. Among the services that can be applied for via this portal include loan rescheduling requests, deferment applications, salary deduction payment arrangements, annual statement requests, and borrower information updates,' he explained. For more information regarding these portal enhancements, borrowers can visit the portal at which contains user guides for registration and available services. Additionally, the public may visit Facebook KYS-Kumpulan Yayasan Sabah, or contact 011-3318 1088 / email [email protected] for further details regarding the extension of the Madani Rebate Programme and the enhancements to the Yayasan Sabah Group's education loan repayment portal.
