MYTC NEWS Private Circulation Only Issue #20 Vol 1 Jan - June 2019 MYTC NEWS Private Circulation Only Issue #20 Vol 1 Jan - June 2019 DISTRICT SUPERIOR MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Bro. Dominic Yeo-Koh sg Dear Staff Members,Trainees, Boarders and Friends of Montfort, Brothers of Saint Gabriel, District of South East Asia Peace be with you and as the Lord says “Peace is what I leave with you, it is my own peace that I give you” John 14:27 It gives me great pleasure to greet everyone. Time flies with such tremendous pace that BOARD OF GOVERNORS half of 2019 has passed and gone by in such a short time. If we look back at Montfort Youth Training Centre (MYTC), it began its journey 20 years ago in 1999 in a small and humble setup in Donggongon, Penampang, Sabah with only 15 Trainees. The Chairman journey has been challenging but with perseverance, MYTC managed to grow to its Tan Sri present state where it is now hosting to more than 200 Trainees and Boarders at our (Datuk Seri Panglima) centres in Kinarut, Kiulu and Sandakan. Bernard Giluk Dompok The Province of Malaysia-Singapore-Myanmar is now known as the District of South East Asia comprising Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar and the Philippines. This new Members District, which was formed on 25 March, comes under the jurisdiction of the new Province of Bengaluru in India and there are currently 22 fully professed Brothers in YBhg Datuk Margaret Fung the new District. We pray ardently for more vocations to the religious lives especially to the Brothers of St Gabriel so that the legacy of our Founder, St Louis Marie de YBhg Datuk Montfort, will continue to live on.

  • Urban Forestry in Sabah
    URBAN FORESTRY AND ITS RELEVANCE TO TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN SABAH* Y.F. Lee, J. Ligunjang & S.C. Yong Forestry Department, Sabah, Malaysia Abstract Urban forestry is understood to be the management of trees and forests in urban areas. It yields many environmental and material benefits. In Sabah, the environmental services of urban forestry are more important than material products. The potential of practising urban forestry in various zones and under different land ownership is evaluated. As urbanisation has occurred recently in Sabah, urban forestry has only been practised to a limited extent. Tourism is an economic sector which has gained prominence in recent years and has huge growth potential. With the numerous environmental services provided by urban forestry to make urban areas more inhabitable, the increasing tourism activities necessitate intensification of urban forestry activities. The main urban centres contain many tourist attractions, and are also the gateways to many other ecotourist destinations located throughout Sabah. With tourism high on the development agenda in Sabah, urban forestry needs to be promoted so that both locals and visitors can enjoy the numerous social, environmental and economic benefits. *Paper presented in the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) Symposium on Urban Forestry, Suzhou & Beijing, China, November 29 – December 3, 2004. 1 1. Introduction Urban forestry is generally understood to be the management of trees and forests within urban areas. However, the terms “urban settlements” and “urban forestry” are sometimes ambiguous. For the sake of clarity, these terms are first discussed and defined. The term “urban settlement” can be understood in many ways. Although one may know intuitively what is ‘urban’ and what is ‘rural’, there is no universally accepted criteria for distinguishing between these two types of settlements.

  • Malaysia Singapore & Brunei
    © Lonely Planet 338 Sabah Malaysia’s state of Sabah proves that there is a god, and we’re pretty sure that he’s some sort of mad scientist. Sabah was his giant test tube – the product of a harebrained hypothesis. You see, on the seventh day, god wasn’t taking his infamous rest, he was pondering the following: ‘what would happen if I took an island, covered it with impenetrable jungle, tossed in an ark’s worth of animals, and turned up the temperature to a sweltering 40°C?’ The result? A tropical Eden with prancing mega-fauna and plenty of fruit-bearing trees. SABAH SABAH This ‘land below the wind’, as it’s known, is home to great ginger apes that swing from vine-draped trees, blue-hued elephants that stamp along marshy river deltas and sun-kissed wanderers who slide along the silver sea in bamboo boats. Oh but there’s more: mighty Mt Kinabalu rises to the heavens, governing the steamy wonderland below with its impos- ing stone turrets. The muddy Sungai Kinabatangan roars through the jungle – a haven for fluorescent birds and cheeky macaques. And finally there’s Sipadan’s seductive coral reef, luring large pelagics with a languid, come-hither wave. In order to make the most of your days of rest, we strongly encourage you to plan ahead. Sabah’s jungles may be wild and untamed, but they’re covered in streamers of red tape. With a bit of patience and a lot of preplanning, you’ll breeze by the permit restrictions and booked beds.

  • Observation on Signboard Photographs in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah As Indicator of Change Towards Global Business1
    Journal of Global Business and Social Entrepreneurship (GBSE) Vol. 1: no. 4 (2017) page 35–44| gbse.com.my | eISSN 24621714| OBSERVATION ON SIGNBOARD PHOTOGRAPHS IN KOTA KINABALU, SABAH AS INDICATOR OF CHANGE TOWARDS GLOBAL BUSINESS1 Suhaimi Salleh2 Noraini Abdullah3 Abstract This paper reports on the study of signboards' designs and words, not often studied in Malaysia, as research variables. Treating these designs and words as valid variables the writers attempted to examine signboards as indicators of change. Data in the form of photographs of shops signage, taken in various locations in Kota Kinabalu were analysed and described to determine what aspects of the signboards would provide the desired indicators. The choice of designs, languages, words, colours, graphics, positions and complimentary signages were coded and entered into SPSS for ease of analysis. These were then discussed in relation to the socio-economic and geographical attributes to ascertain what kind of indicators were identifiable. This study tried to identify what background and words, colours and languages were the top choices in the the making of the signages. Analyses of the signboards facade will identify whether the design and wordings as variables can be described as 'conventional', 'unconventional' or 'recent' with several possibly unchanged over time with designs and wordings traceable to signage designs which were usually up to the period several decades ago. Preliminary findings of this study showed that the signboards of shops within the areas of Kota Kinabalu City and two neighbouring towns (Manggatal and Telipok) in the zone of Kota Kinabalu, were not compliant to the guidelines prescribed by the relevant authorities.
