We were honored to receive a visit from the CEO of Yayasan Sime Darby (YSD) or Sime Darby Foundation, Dr. Hjh. Yatela Zainal Abidin, and a few of YSD Officers as a part of YSD’s visits to projects supported and funded by Yayasan Sime Darby in Sabah. YSD has been becoming the backbone of BSBCC since the early days of BSBCC and has supported BSBCC numerous times for the past few years.
The group's arrival at the Centre was warmly greeted by the
Founder and CEO of BSBCC, Dr. Wong Siew Te, and the team. They were personally
guided by Dr. Wong to watch the sun bears residing in BSBCC forest enclosures,
filled with information sharing among the two sides. The YSD’s group was also
brought to take a closer look and witness the daily routines in the bear houses
and were guided to the new shop building afterward. The visit was finished by 5
pm.
The Movement Control Order (MCO) due to the COVID-19
pandemic outbreak which started in March 2020 hindered the entries of foreign
visitors, bringing the tourism industry to a stop, thus affecting the Centre’s
main revenue. Yayasan Sime Darby has spent a big amount of budget to fund the
Centre’s operation and support it to go through a hard time. No words can
describe how we are deeply grateful for the support given during the time.
Thanks for everything Yayasan Sime Darby!
