ke arah membimbing anak anak mereka supaya menjadi orang-orang yang berguna di masa depan. "Dalam mengejar kemajuan, ibu bapa tidak harus menga baikan tanggungjawab mereka dalam pemeliharaan ikatan keluarga yang rapat dan mem pengaruhi sifat-sifat yang positif terhadap anak-anak mereka" ,katll beliau. "Kanak-kanak merupakan penyambung nyawa, pembela masa depan, dan kepada merekalah biasanya kita lihat diri kita, kejayaan kita, dan harapan kita.

Dengan penubuhan tadika tadika ini tidak bermakna bahawa para ibubapa boleh mengabaikan tanggungjawab mereka terhadap anak-anak mereka. Beliau berkata bahawa bimbingan yang diberikan di tadika haruslah merupakan peringkat pertama yang patut diikuti oleh para ibu bapa

"Pada hemat saya, usaha ini merupakan satu titik berseja rah di dalam perkembangan pelajaran dan pendidikan di negara kita ini. Pentingnya, tidak kurang daripada sekolah sekolah tinggi kerana disinilah diharapkan bukan ilmu pengetahuannya tetapi akhlak, budi pekerti yang luhur yang menjaminkan anak-anak itu menjadi seorang yang rajin,

bersih, cekap dan amanah," kata beliau. Pengarah Yayasan Sabah, Tan Sri Datuk Ben Stephens yang juga turut mengucap di majlis itu berkata, "Tadika Ria ini hanyalah satu aspek pusat perkembangan kanak-kanak yang mana Yayasan Sabah telah mengamanatkan untuk menubuhnya. Yang lain-lain masih dalam peringkat rancangan - iaitu institut penguruan tadika dan yunit penyelidikan." "Tadika Ria bukan semata mata memberi pengetahuan sahaja, tetapi perkembangan kanak-kanak sepenuhnya, terutama sekali dalam pancaindera manusia," tambah Tan Sri Datuk Ben. "Tadika yang kita lihat sekarang ini bertujuan untuk menjadi suatu contoh untuk perkembangan suatu taraf pendidikan dan perkemban gan kanak-kanak di periogkat pra-sekolah," jelas beliau

BERITA YAYASAN SABAii::)

The Social Welfare and Services Department is primarily responsible for the various distribution schemes undertaken by the Sabah Foundation except for the Amanah Rakyat Sabah.

The schemes include the distribution of uniform, books, shoes, milk and stationary to benefit all school-going children in the ~tate.

The Department, located on the 5th floor of the Sabah Foundation Headquarters building, is manned by three officers and 35 clerks.

HII/I S/t!IIrltII LiltIf!

Heading the Department is Haji Sjahrial Latiff who is assisted by Encik Dollah Zunaidy.

According to Haji Sjahrial, his Department's objectives are: to upgrade the socio of economic standard Sabahans, to uplift the educa tional standard of Sabah students, to improve the health of school children for a healthy generation and also to instill the spirit of self reliance among students in line with efforts to improve their socio-economic standard.

The milk is to supplement their daily diet. It contains special food value which is good for the physical and mental growth of children.

Another responsibility of the Department is to provide accomodation for rural students studying in urban schools.

"The social distribution schemes are moderate, realistic and rational with the aim of aiding the community and especially those who are not well off", he added.

Students who are housed in the Foundation hostels are provided with allowance for their personal use and also for payment of examination fees, food and transportation. Hj. Sjahrial said all these aids provided for by the Foundation are not only to help the needy students but also to benefit all students in the State. "For instance", he said, "milk is provided four times 'weekly to improve the health of students especially students under 12 years old in primary and kindergarten schools" .

Haji Sjahrial said the various distribution schemes whether planned on a short or long term basis are based on the views and far sighteclness of the Foundation to benefit the present and futur~ generation.

As Head of the Department, Haji Sjahrial's main respon sibility is to plan and coordinate the social opera tion and administration of his Department. He is also responsible in diversifying and improving the quality of services and leadership in the social services from time to time . Haji Sjahrial's duties are to maintain and create good relations with Government Department, Statutory Bodies, Government Agencies

and others in relation to social activities. Every once in three months, he holds meeting with officers and staff of his department to assess their performance and also to improve and strengthen the harmony and teamwork in the Social Services. The Social Services Depart ment has 23 district branch offices in the State. Each district branch office is manned by an Assistant Field Officer, a General Clerk and an Attendant. The district branch offices are responsible for ensuring the efficient distribution of the various social distribution schemes of the Department and also to obtain all necessary information regarding the scheme. The Assistant Field Officer is a member of the district committee responsible for the administration and main tenance of the Foundation district hostels. The educational affairs of Foundation students in their respective district is also their responsibility.

Streamline and

Intensify

The structural changes aim to streamline the various departments/sections within the Foundation, delineate clearly all functions, balance activities and proper staffing, in addition to intensifying its manage ment and supervisory development, and skills training.

r org

TON

·8 R CT The organisation structure of the Sabah Foundation will be reorganised to accommodate the widening socio-economic roles that it is presently assuming. Foundation Director, Tan Sri Datuk Ben Stephens said this when he addressed F ounda tion G rou p Managers and Heads of Departments at the Sabah Foundation Reorganisation Meeting recently.

Resilience

Tan Sri Ben said the effectiveness of an organisation in fulfilling its objectives depends to a large extent upon the resilience of its organisation structure. He said an extensive and comprehensive study of our organisation structure was undertaken in 1980 by a Management Consultant. "With the implementation of the Board of Trustees recommendations, based on the Consultants study of the Sabah Foundation Organisation, we expect to 'stengthen the existing organisation structure and management and, consequently, to ensure the operating efficiency of the Foundation", said the Director.

Tan Sri Ben said an important recommendation of the study was the creation of a top level Management Committee whose basic function would be to ensure the coordination of plans, strategies and policies of the various groups.

Centralisation

"Another structural change to insure proper coordina tion and efficiency in the commonly shared activites, is the centralisation of the accounting and finance functions and the administrative and personne.~ functions of the Sa bah F ounda tion and the G rou p", he added. "The organisation structure to be implemented is one that is fully oriented towards fulfilling the Foundation's purpose, mission and objectives in the most effective and efficient way possible". The Director later elaborated on the objectives and functions of the Foundation which he said was mainly one of supplementing and complementing the State Government and Federal Government in the field of education, health and welfare.

Flexibility

Tan Sri Ben said if the Foundation was to act expeditiously in situations of need, it must maintai r '--' sufficient flexibility in its operations so that it would be able to pass on its projects after initiating and nurturing them to the proper authorities and undertake new projects where a greater urgency has risen or has been iden tified. "In this way, the Foundation in addition to the supplementary and complementary roles, would also be able to act as an agent of change", he added. "In summary, the Sabah Foundation has both a social improvement as well as an economic develop ment mission. The main thrust of the social improve ment mission is on education, the State's prime social problem, while the economic mission is to find the necessary funds for the social programmes. The role of the Foundation in carrying out its dual mission is that of supplemental and complemental and also as an agent of change. As such it is vital that the Foundation maintains a flexible means to undertake socio-economic programmes for the benefit of the State and the Nation"

Picnic at Pulau sapi

By: Lena Robert

7.30 a.m., the Hornbill yatch loomed big and white upfront the jetty behind the Hyatt Hotel. A beautiful Sunday, April 3, 1983, thirty five Yayasan Sabah staff boarded the yacht for Pulau Sapi about five kilometres from Kota Kinabalu. As the yacht went chugging amidst laughter and COnYer-

sation aboard, the island slowly appeared and Kota Kinabalu town was left behind. The water was so clear - as it was not very windy during the morning . that one can see the corals. Alas, we were not the only ones on the island. We managed to find the biggest shed unoccupied, dumped

our gears and rushed to the water.

Roslie Waslie, Ghularn, Chandra and Ahmad Tarnin managed to persuade two lovely girls to part with their big blown tyre tube and performed some fancy acro batic acts (so to speak) in the water to the ladies' entertainment. Anna Yong was so tempted by the challenge of the clear green water, she rushed in fully clothed.

Some of us went round the island and a couple or two found their own little nest. Whew, there was so much swimming in the beautiful water, hiking along the mountain paths and relaxing in the comfortable shed, time flew, and it was the rumbling

of several stomachs that prompted us to the shed for our lunch.

Everybody brought their own food, so there was abundance for sharing. Amid the loud Raegge music from Litah's tape recorder, the food was depleted in no time at all and it was back to the water. Some shed their inhibitions and slept, while Joanas treated some of us to a strip show. RJ, the jester, related his tales to one and all. Cigku Awang and his two kids were the fishermen of the trip - not that they caught any. At 2.00 pm., the yatch was back and everybody was ready to go back hom p Tired but happy after such ~ relaxing morning.

It was February 14, 1982 at about 1730 hours when PAYS received an emergency caJ] from Sabah Air. It was regarding an accident case on board an oil rig, 96 km from Kudat. From the infonna· tion received, it seemed that one of the workers was hit by a cable wire and sustained serious head injuries.

fogether with ambulance - officer, Ibrahim Hj. Yunus, we proceeded to attend the case. We brought along our fust aid kit and other related equipment.

It was quite a pleasant flight and we fmally made it to the oil rig in about half an hour's time. The rig's supervisor met us on arrival and brought us straight to the scene of the accident.

We left the base immediately and proceeded to Sabah Air. Upon arriving, we immediately

sustained some head injuries together with some minor bruises on his right knee. The casualty was conscious and his general condition was quite satisfactory. While applying fust aid to his injuries, I gave continuous reassurance to the victim. Patience, understanding and reassurance is so important in a traumatic experience as I have discovered from my . . trammg. After the fust aid was done, we transferred the casualty onto the helicopter. Just then, a tall American man approached us and remarked that I was the ftrst lady to have stepped on that oil rig.

KICKING

By: SAFOND SRC Secretary

Contrary to all reports, beliefs or otherwise , SAFOND S.R.C. is not sick, dying, dead or in imminent danger of being murdered. There are members who express reservation about whether or not the Club is a worthwhile endeavour for the energies of the Committee members. But assurances have been given that as long as the Club continues to be responsible and as long as Staff (members) want the Club to stay, it will stay. No decisions have been made about changing the Club's status, but staff have expressed a desire to review the relationship of SAFOND S. R. C. to the administration (Le. financial) structure of Sabah Foundation as a whole. As it has been expressed verbally to me, some members feel that SAFOND S. R. C. has nothing whatever to do with the prinCipal task of Sabah Foundation . In q way,

suggestion has been tendered that the club should be financed by the members who are interested in it. However , it must be emphasized that no decision has been made. It also needs to be made clear that members are not gearing up for a confrontation, and it is not their desire to kill the Club. If the Club is important to its members it will continue to function . The one thing which we have to avoid as members is the tendency to react to committee members as if they were our enemies. I have every confidence that SAFOND S. R . C. has been filling a need for the Sabah Foundation employees. The only change I anticipate is turning this job over to someone who knows what he or she is doing . In the mean time, it's business as usual.

Bookings for badminton, squash and tennis at the Likas Sports Complex returned to normal after two months of disruption. Effective March 1, all bookings will be on a regular basis and in the event of any changes, prior notice will be issued, announced SAFOND SRC Secretary , Cik Lena Robert. Cile Lena disclosed that the temporary disruption was due to the reorganisation and rescheduling of bookings by the Complex Management. "However, there are slight changes on the days and court numbers but the time remains unchanged", added Cik Lena .
