ello readers! It’s me, Yolanda,your new editor for the SabahMalaysian Borneo Bulletin. I’mhonoured to be here.When I first heard the words “You’rehired” from Sri Pelancongan SabahSdn Bhd, nervousness and excitementbegan to swirl within my tummy. I wasnervous mainly because the preced-ing editor, Melissa Leong, was excel-lent at the job and I knew I had a lotof expectations to meet, and a pair ofreally big shoes to fill. But of course Icouldn’t help but be excited aboutcontinuing this task of writing aboutour home, Sabah. Her beauty andtreasures (in this case I’m talkingabout Sabah’s, not Melissa’s) areinexhaustible, and I have been giventhe opportunity to compose wordsand pictures that would do her jus-tice. And in the producing my firstissue, I KNOW it’s not as easy as itsounds, Sabah’s treasures are manyand sometimes words aren’t enough.Now let’s talk about what’shappening!February is already here and thismonth, Sabah’s main highlights areKota Kinabalu’s City Day celebrationsand Chinese New Year. Numerousevents have been organized tocelebrate these events, like the CityStreet Parade, the City Day Regattaand the City Cultural Extravaganza tocommemorate the 8th year of KotaKinabalu’s city status. And thenthere’s the colourful Ang PowFestivals held in various locations likeLuyang and Gaya Street to celebrateand usher in the year of the Rat.I invite you to take a look atFebruary’s calendar of events, and join in the celebrations! Enjoy the restof the bulletin and have a pleasantstay here in beautiful Sabah.
