Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is the grandest and most important annual event for Chinese people. Based on the lunar calendar, the festival has no exact date and it changes each year, but it mostly falls on a day from January 21st to February 20th in Gregorian calendar. The lunar calendar also defines the 12-year repeating cycle of Chinese zodiac, and each year is named after an animal; and 2018 Chinese New Year which falls on 16th and 17th February 2018 is the “Year of the Dog”.

In conjunction with the coming of this auspicious celebration, Dr Morni Hj Kambrie, Founder and Chairman of SIDMA College UNITAR, who has been very well-known for his generosity, caring and sharing of his gains with his employees, seized the opportunity to share the happiness to all his SIDMA employees celebrating Chinese New Year by distributing Chinese New Year Goodies to them.

"Cleanliness is next to godliness." SIDMA College UNITAR Sabah has always placed special emphasis on the importance of having a fresh, clean and safe environment in order to motivate its staff and students alike to achieve higher levels of efficiency as well as providing a more conducive environment to work and study. By emphasising on a clean fresh space for study and work, it also marks the important step towards creating a positive learning environment for the students.

In order to ensure that the college buildings and facilities are regularly cleaned and maintained, SIDMA College, apart from having its own Property and Administration Department (PAD), Dr Morni Hj Kambrie, Founder and Chairman of SIDMA College, have appointed external cleaning company to ensure that the college buildings and facilities such atrium, toilets, lecture and tutorial rooms, administrative blocks and surrounding areas are always clean and safe. This is to send a clear message that the students and our clients are valued, and that the college is concerned with their comfort and welfare. It is also to encourage students to take pride in their college; which indirectly will inspire them to take care of their own surroundings, and also to improve their attendance by way of them loving the clean environment!
