It has been fantastic to have the opportunity to work with most of my research team in the faculty. I thank them wholeheartedly. I am also grateful to all the previous Deans of the Faculty/School and all Deputy Deans for their unfailing support and assistance to get funding for research grants and other related academic engagements. To all dedicated non-academic staff in the Faculty of Business, Economics and Accountancy and the Department of Registrar of UMS, thank you so much, your commitment is simply superb!

These issues are linked to relevant economic and growth theory approaches. Critical issues on the challenges in the development and the way forward to realise government policies such as the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC), the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) and the implementation of zakat to eradicate poverty will also be discussed. Economic development for Sabah is essential and is an ongoing effort to ensure that Sabah can compete in a gradually competitive economy. Implementing sound economic policies is vital in improving the social well-being and standard of living in the state. This book also explores socio- economic issues involving various ethnic groups in Sabah, especially improving human capital and infrastructure investment. The author identified that these elements are the key contributors and enablers to Sabah’s economic growth. Thus, economic growth and development are consistent agendas to ensure future generations can live comfortably in a conducive economic environment. Hence, this book re-emphasises the importance of knowledge workers in preparing the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The author also recommends that Sabah’s further economic development be attained through rigorous efforts from strong cooperation of state and federal government and firms, private sectors, industries, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the people. The development can be realised through investment and innovation. This book is significant to academics, students, policymakers, and community in increasing awareness of the importance of labour, human capital and economic development in Sabah. While adding to existing literature, this book can also be an additional reference about Sabah’s key economic characteristics and labour market. viii SINOPSIS uku ini mengetengahkan beberapa isu kontemporari yang berkaitan dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi Sabah termasuk Bsosio-ekonomi, tenaga kerja dan modal insan.

    HISTORY OF THE PROTRSTAN CHURCH IN SABAH, MALAYSIA [Document subtitle] History of the Protestant Church in Sabah, Malaysia A translation from the Usuran di Gorija Protestant sid Sabah, from an original text written in the Momogun language. Preface by the President of the Protestant Church in Sabah, referring also to the first part of a general church history and the History of the Protestant Church in Sabah This history of the Church of Christ worldwide and the history of the Protestant Church in Sabah (PCS) follows the growth and the life of the Momogun around Kudat as developed according to the habits of the Rungus tribe. The first part documents the history of the Church of Christ worldwide, giving an account of the origins of the church. The second part is concerned with the history of the church in Sabah. The history of Sabah prior to the arrival of the missionaries working amongst the Momogun has been included to explain the circumstances surrounding the beginning of their work in preaching the gospel. Looking at the time before 1952, it is clear that there had been missionaries before in Sabah, but they evangelised among the Chinese, while the RC missionaries reached the Momogun in the vicinity of Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan with their proclamation of the gospel. The historical dates follow from what has been documented since the missionaries began proclaiming the gospel, from 1952 to up until 1993. Rev. Traugott Forschner who, together with other people, has written this book, admits that probably not everything has been recorded, and other matters may no longer be remembered properly.

[email protected]; [email protected] Tarikh dihantar: 15 Mei 2020 / Tarikh diterima: 01 Oktober 2020 ABSTRAK Penulisan dari barat dan tempatan yang menyentuh berkenaan sejarah peribumi di Borneo Utara mestilah merujuk kembali kepada sejarah Brunei. Hal ini demikian kerana Kesultanan Brunei merupakan pemerintahan terawal sebelum kedatangan kuasa Barat. Dalam hal ini, terdapat beberapa penulis barat seperti Spenser, Rutter, Leys, Black, Treacher, Tarling, Warren, Evans, Sweeney dan Sather yang melakukan penulisan terawal mengenai sejarah peribumi di Borneo Utara pada zaman kesultanan Brunei. Namun begitu, penulisan mereka hanyalah bersifat deskriptif dan data kajian berat sebelah hanya berdasarkan pemerhatian semata-mata. Walaupun pemikiran mereka tidak bersifat lokal sentrik, ia memberikan hasil dapatan kajian yang sangat berbeza serta tidak patut diketengahkan lagi. Namun, tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa penulis tempatan seperti Hasbol, Ranjit dan Abdul Rahman adalah penting dalam kajian peribumi di Borneo Utara lebih-lebih lagi, pada zaman Kesultanan Brunei, mereka cuba mengangkat sejarah tempatan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahawa terdapat perbezaan pandangan mengenai fakta yang boleh diubah mengenai sejarah peribumi mengikut sentrik, fakta luaran, fakta dalaman, kritikan luaran dan kritikan dalaman. Walaupun penulisan barat bersifat berat sebelah, tetapi ia memberi impak kepada penulisan tempatan untuk mencari persoalan tentang sejarah peribumi di Borneo Utara.

Kawasan yang tidak menerima perkhidmatan pengangkutan awam telah mendorong kewujudan perkhidmatan informal, iaitu bas tanpa permit yang dikenali sebagai van sapu atau “pirate”. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti ciri-ciri pengoperasian mod pengangkutan bas tanpa permit yang terdapat di Kota Kinabalu dan menjelaskan beberapa faktor pengendalian mod sebagai pengangkutan tidak formal. Sumber primer melalui tinjauan soal selidik dan temu bual separa berstruktur melibatkan pemandu perkhidmatan bas tanpa permit diaplikasikan dalam penyelidikan ini. Temu bual berstruktur juga dijalankan bersama pihak Lembaga Pelesenan Kenderaan Perdagangan (LPKP) Sabah bagi memantapkan penemuan kajian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan pengoperasian mod bas tanpa permit yang terdapat di Kota Kinabalu juga mempunyai ciri khusus meliputi beberapa aspek, iaitu masa bekerja, perkhidmatan, keselamatan, jenis kenderaan yang digunakan, kadar tambang, laluan pengoperasian dan organisasi pengoperasian mod. Penemuan kajian juga mendapati kesukaran dalam memenuhi polisi yang ditetapkan oleh pihak kerajaan untuk menawarkan perkhidmatan sebagai pengangkutan awam, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan permohonan kelulusan permit telah mendorong keputusan para pemandu untuk menjalankan operasi bas tanpa memiliki permit.

  • 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.
