JACKAREA DAWSON

It was in 1988, when I first entered my Political Science class taught by Prof Stephen at West Texas A&M (formerly known as West Texas State University). The Texan born professor asked my name. He had a difficulty in pronouncing my full name. Then, out of the blue I said to him, "Prof, call me Jackarea Dawson". From that occassion in the next three years, I had been using that name in the university.

SEJARAH KEMERDEKAAN SABAH

- March 09, 2010

Sabah yang dahulunya pernah dikenali sebagai North Borneo telah mencapai kemerdekaan daripada British melalui penubuhan persekutuan Malaysia pada 16 September 1963 yang diilhamkan oleh Yang Teramat Mulia Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj selaku Perdana Menteri Tanah Melayu. Berdasarkan kepada sumber-sumber sejarah menunjukkan bahawa Sabah pada asalnya merupakan jajahan Kesultanan Brunei. Walau bagaimanapun, pada tahun 1704, sebahagian besar wilayahnya di pantai timur dan utara telah dihadiahkan kepada Kesultanan Sulu sebagai balasan kerana membantu sultan Brunei menewaskan seterunya di Pulau Cermin.

Pada tahun 1881, Sabah secara rasminya telah ditadbir oleh BNBCC dan dijadikan negeri naungan kerajaan British pada tahun 1888. Dalam erti kata lain,...

THE ESSENCE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

- March 12, 2010

The communication process involves steps between a source and a receiver that result in the transference and understanding of meaning. The sender initiates message by encoding it through the right channel. Th...
