VOLUME 9 HIGHLIGHTS

Charting the way forward for Sarawak Sports

Blessed with bountiful natural resources and rich ethnic and cultural diversity, Sarawak certainly is fortunate in comparison to other states in the nation. The developments here have made Sarawak a favourite place for many to live, work and visit and it also aims to be the nation’s sports powerhouse by 2010, as envisaged by the Sarawak State Sports Council (SSSC).

Since its establishment in 1985, the SSSC has set in motion the objectives of achieving success in the sports arena which would bring glory and fame to the state. Hence its motto “Forward with glory” which aims to produce athletes and administrators of sports who would attain international standards in their respective fields. These achievements would also lead to the social development of the state as well as building society which is the envy of everyone.

Sarawak’s multi awards corporation,
Naim Cendera, ensures generous
donations through its Naim Trust Fund

In Sarawak Naim Cendera Holdings Berhad is synonymous with excellence in building industry and its credentials can be seen from the numerous awards it has received over the years. These awards come from Sarawak and Malaysia as well as from overseas in numerous categories as a master builder but one award that the corporation is justiably proud of, is the Corporate, Social and Environmental Responsibilities award received in 2005. Since its establishment, Naim had been donating to various social and charitable organizations, lending a helping hand to those in most need as well as trying to do its part in the protection and conservation of the environment.

Under its environment responsibility, the company takes positive steps to ensure that in the course of its work, there is minimal impact on the environment. Contractors for the company must also heed the environmental guidelines set, including the band on burning of wastes at its construction sites. As in all construction activities, a substantial amount of waste is created and Naim has the pology of using these wastes for landfill wherever feasible in the construction plans. Furthermore, the company also favours conserving the natural environment at its sites so as to have as little an impact of the ecosystem as possible. In some cases where such avoidance is not possible or practical, the company has resorted to the creation of landscaped parks and other green spreads in efforts to make the area beautiful again.
