MAJAPS Pays Courtesy Visit to TAEDSB, Strengthening Strategic Ties and Community Welfare Initiatives

-

 


Tanjung Aru Eco Development Sdn. Bhd. (TAEDSB) welcomed a delegation from the Sabah Council of Justices of the Peace (Majlis Jaksa-Jaksa Pendamai Sabah, MAJAPS) for a courtesy visit aimed at strengthening strategic relations and exploring potential collaborations in community welfare and social development.

The delegation, led by MAJAPS President DSP Clarence B. Malakun, JP, was received by TAEDSB General Manager Datuk TPr. Alijus @ Mohd Ali Bin Sipil at Pantai 3, Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu, on Thursday, 22 October 2026.

The MAJAPS delegation also comprised Datuk Kevin Lim, JP; Datuk James Ligunjang, JP; Datuk Anthony Linggian, JP; Datuk John Sikayun, JP; and Mr. Alexander Hugo Malakun, JP.

Exploring Strategic Collaboration Through Charity and Recreation

The meeting provided an important platform for both organisations to strengthen their relationship and explore opportunities for future cooperation, particularly through the proposed inaugural MAJAPS Charity Run / Evening Run 2026.

The proposed initiative aims to bring together sports, charitable causes, healthy living and community participation in a meaningful event that encourages people from different backgrounds to connect through a shared commitment to social well-being.

Beyond promoting physical activity, the proposed charity run could also serve as a platform to raise awareness of community welfare initiatives while encouraging a more active and socially engaged lifestyle among Sabahans.




The initiative aligns with TAEDSB's aspirations to enhance Tanjung Aru as an inclusive, sustainable and community-friendly recreational destination. Through strategic partnerships and public engagement, the development of Tanjung Aru can extend beyond its physical landscape to create opportunities for meaningful social interaction and community participation.

Building Partnerships for a Sustainable Future

TAEDSB continues to welcome strategic collaborations that contribute positively to community well-being and support sustainable social development. Engagements such as this courtesy visit reflect the importance of cooperation between organisations in identifying shared goals and translating ideas into initiatives that benefit the wider community.

While the proposed MAJAPS Charity Run / Evening Run 2026 represents a potential avenue for collaboration, the discussions also underscore a broader vision of strengthening institutional relationships, encouraging healthier lifestyles and fostering a stronger sense of community responsibility.



As Tanjung Aru continues to be positioned as an important recreational destination in Kota Kinabalu, initiatives that combine public participation, social responsibility and sustainable development could play a valuable role in shaping its future.

The courtesy visit marks a positive step towards exploring collaborative opportunities between MAJAPS and TAEDSB, with the shared aspiration of creating lasting value for the community.

Strengthening Networks. Empowering Communities. Building a Sustainable Future.

Location: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia

Tajau and Tradition: The Living Legacy of Siopon in a Murut Engagement

-
Image
It was a very fulfilling and insightful trip to Keningau recently, where the Angin family from Kg. Biah, Sook celebrated an important engagement ceremony. A family member was engaged to someone from outside the Murut community. Shonney Doney, who is of Murut and Dusun heritage, became engaged to a Sino-Kadazan young man from outside the Keningau district. What was truly special is that the Angin family prepared a cultural presentation featuring Siopon, a traditional homemade rice drink kept in jars. The beverage has been passed down for generations and is still practiced today. According to Liza Angin, Shonney’s aunt, the family has been making Siopon for many years, starting with their mother, Villine Lius, who is now 74 years old. Due to health reasons, she can no longer prepare it, so Liza and her siblings made the effort to learn and continue the family tradition. The Angin family According to Liza, long ago the drink was treated like coffee. Whenever visitors came to Murut hom...

Donggongon: The Heartbeat of Penampang’s Culture, Food and Tamu Tradition by Lorena Binisol

-
Image
Every Wednesday and Thursday, something special happens in Donggongon , the vibrant township at the heart of Penampang . The streets come alive as villagers, vendors and townsfolk gather for the beloved Tamu , a weekly market that has long been part of the community’s rhythm. For generations, the Tamu has been more than just a marketplace. It is a meeting ground where stories are exchanged, traditions are preserved, and the spirit of the community continues to thrive. At the moment, vendors are temporarily operating in the open space between shop lots while the new permanent Tamu building is under construction. The upcoming structure promises a more modern look, but many locals still remember the rustic charm of the old Tamu, where simple stalls created a warm and authentic village atmosphere. Despite the temporary setting, the market remains lively. Visitors can still find baskets filled with fresh vegetables, tropical fruits and produce brought in from nearby villages. Among the u...

The ACCA Sabah Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner held at ITCC Seafood Restaurant brought together members for an evening defined by introductions, renewed connections, and professional camaraderie. The programme centred largely on new members stepping forward to introduce themselves and share their current roles, while several long-standing members also took the opportunity to reconnect and re-establish professional ties in a relaxed setting. From my perspective within the professional and academic landscape, the evening reflected something deeper than a festive gathering; it demonstrated the importance of sustaining a strong professional ecosystem.
