Premise

After 35 years of its formation, PSMCS still does not have it own premise and it had asked for assistance to the Sabah State Government through the office of the State Secretary to use one of its unoccupied houses or building as its premise to carry on with its activities. So far no answer has been given as PSMCS now carries out its activities from the offices of the President and Vice President.

Meeting With Director Of Economic Planning Unit Sabah

The meeting on August 10,2009 by the President with the Director of EPU Sabah touched on the issue of funds as well as premise for Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia Cawangan Sabah. The Director asked that a letter be forwarded to EPU Sabah by PSMCS.

35 Years Of Age

Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia Cawangan Sabah is more than 35 years old. The Association was established on 29 March 1973, and Sabah State is 45 years old after independence on 16 September 1963.

Sabah has achieved much, but on the other hand what has Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia Cawangan Sabah achieved after 35 years? The new Committee which was elected on July 26,2009 will have to look into this aspect and how the Association can be revamped and transformed into an Association that the members can be proud of to be associated with.

Some of the other Associations already have their own building like SABATA, ST JOHN AMBULANCE, RED CROSS, BOY SCOUT, SABAH LAW ASSOCIATION, MPWS (Majlis Penasihat Wanita Sabah),and many others. But Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia Sabah does not yet have its own premise and should strive to have one sooner or later.The Association can then carry on with its activities effeciently and effectively at its own premise.This is going to be the challenge for the new Commitee.
