SIDMA College Sabah through the dynamic leadership of its leaders; Adjunct Prof Dr Morni Hj Kambrie (Founder and Chairman) and Madam Azizah Khalid Merican (CEO) have been very consistent and determined in their effort to produce graduates who are not only proficient in Bahasa Malaysia, but also graduates who are confident and comfortable while engaging themselves in conversation using English. This is due to the simple fact that English has been widely spoken and used in Malaysia for many years, so much so that it has automatically become the second language of the country.

Although the medium of instruction at public institutions of higher learning is the national language (Bahasa Malaysia), SIDMA College uses dual languages (Bahasa Malaysia and English) as its medium of instruction, owing to the importance of English in the new knowledge economy and the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Furthermore English has been spoken widely by many Malaysians in and outside of their homes.

English Enhancement Programme (EEP), a special English Proficiency programme developed by SIDMA College Sabah, aims to help SIDMA College students who lack confidence and proficiency in using English as the language of communication, to upgrade their English basic proficiency skills in order to achieve their personal potentials and professional goals.

 

SIDMA College Sabah in its effort to produce Early Childhood Educators (ECE) equipped with the necessary competencies expected in a 21st Century workplace, provides an actionable framework for its students, who are also future teachers, to implement a long term professional development plan that will extend their professional development beyond daily classroom lectures in order to create “coaching culture” enabling lecturers to provide the necessary scaffolding.

Adjunct Prof Dr Morni Hj Kambrie, Chairman and Founder of SIDMA College, a lecturer in UiTM prior to continuing his MBA in Scotland (1987). After completing his MBA and PhD in 1990, he joined Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC).

His interest in education grew since he was with UiTM in 1984, later a lecturer with Edith Cowan University, Australia, Bath MIM MBA and also while lecturing at University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) on contract basis.
