Dr Morni Hj Kambrie, Chairman and Founder, SIDMA College Sabah, launched SIDMA Charity Rack initiative on 27 August 2018 at SIDMA College Sabah. The Charity Rack Project, an initiative by SIDMA Staff Welfare Association (PKKKSS) is similar to the function of Food Bank, which is basically to provide last resort assistance for the very needy students; particularly food; in order for them to have a meal, and more at least for the day.
Eid Al-Adha, which is also known Aidiladha celebration or “Festival of Sacrifice” is an Islamic festival meant to commemorate the obedience of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as an act of his submission to God’s command. Obeying the word of God, Abraham complied, but as he was to sacrifice his son, God replaced him with a goat, which was sacrifice in his stead. Thus, during the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate and remember Abraham’s trials, by themselves sacrificing an animal such as a sheep, camel, or a goat.
SIDMA College Sabah with full cooperation and collaboration from Education Department Sabah (JPN Sabah) and eleven District Education Officers (PPD) will co-organise a KadazanDusun Language Speech Contest “Pialaan Raisol Doid Boros KadazanDusun” for secondary school students of Sabah in October 2018. This is another of Dr Morni Hj Kambrie (Founder and Chairman of SIDMA College) initiative to intervene and put the KadazanDusun language to stronger footing. This is due to the fact that the KadazanDusun language, like any other native languages in Sabah, has been seemingly declining from its originality despite the fact that the language has been offered as an elective subject in public primary and secondary schools in Sabah beginning 2000. This is basically due to the dynamic development among the Malaysia culture whereby emphasis is placed on the usage of Bahasa Malaysia as national language and English as the second language.
