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.

IMP...Islamic Manufacturing Practice

- December 03, 2011

On 29 Nov., when my former boss called me whether I was free to joint his short visit to Sidratul Enterprise at Kuala Kangsar Perak, I gave him the positive respond. I had served YB Dato Seri Hj Nasir Tun Hj Sakaran, Sabah's Minister, for almost nine years. I had gained many important experiences that not many ordinary people can match up. It was my faith and still it is my faith to be loyal to him as long as he needs my presence. I still do the speech for him at the time where I am sleeping over the pile of journals.
