Editor’s Note Dear members, I am pleased to present Issue 1 of our 2018 Area Sabah E-Newsletter.

In JCI you have ‘one year to lead’ and one year to make an impact.

It is an interesting structure; it has both positive and negative sides to it. I’ve met a lot of people in JCI who has taken on a leadership position and found it scary and daunting to take over after a former successful leader.

One thing I’ve learned is that you aren’t there to fill anybody else’s shoes. You are there to be YOU and develop your skills. We are all fantastic and amazing in different ways and it’s more about how you choose to work together with the people around you that will determine how successful you are.

If you are enthusiastic that will spread to the rest of the team and your members. And an enthusiastic team is something you’ll be very grateful for.

You are allowed to try new things in JCI. People will encourage you to go outside your comfort zone and you’ll grow a lot while trying out new stuff. That is what makes it exciting. Often your day job will not provide these kind of opportunities.

Please, don’t be afraid. We can’t do anything about the past, we can only challenge our own limiting thoughts and move forward with what we have.

You only have one year to make a difference!

NVP (Zone A) Message It’s a privilege and honour to serve JCIM Area Sabah and in particular, all the presidents and all members in the 5 LOs assigned to me under Zone A. The first quarter of the year has passed, and what a productive and exciting quarter year it has been for the Zone.

We have completed almost all installations and charter nights. We have had all LO presidents attending the Area Academy which was recently organised by 3 of the Zone LOs, organised many meaningful projects which support the UNSDG objectives, and our bond continues to remain strong as all LOs are regularly organising GMMs; We even had a super joint-GMM involving 4 of the LOs in the Zone.

There are many more impactful projects planned along the way.

With lots of guidance and encouragement, I am confident that all the members in the LOs would have truly taken up the opportunities subscribed in the JCI Mission of creating positive change in the community.

Eventually, all we aim for is a better Area Sabah. When the LOs excel, the Area excels, and when the Areas excel, JCIM excels. With that, I encourage all LO presidents & members in Zone A, B and C to continue their enthusiasm, their passion and commitment to do their bit in achieving JCIM goals through their projects while becoming better individuals along the way. #JCI #JCIM #AreaSabah #ZoneA #TogetherWeAreOne Warmest regards, Zyee F.

In September 2015, 193 world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

If these Goals are completed, it would mean an end to extreme poverty, inequality and climate change by 2030.

Our governments have a plan to save our planet…it’s our job to make sure they stick to it.

The Global Goals are only going to work if we fight for them and you can’t fight for your rights if you don’t know what they are. We believe the Goals are only going to be completed if we can make them famous.

JCI Malaysia (Area Sabah) E-Newsletter Issue 01/2018

The JCI Creed The year was 1946; the place- Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A; the event- The United States Jaycees’ National Convention, with visitors from Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe and the Philippine Islands. It was against this background that the idea of a Jaycee Creed was born.

Past President of the Ohio Jaycees and National Vice President of The U.S. Jaycees C William Brownfield found out at this convention that the organization did not have a Creed. He was inspired by the devotion of the Jaycees “to the purpose of serving mankind in a thousand different ways, right down at the grass roots where freedom lives or dies.”

A New World Force He saw the Jaycees as “the potential for a new force in the world, one capable of changing the balance between victory and defeat for our chosen way of life in a time of crisis.”

The actual writing of the Creed took place in July 1946 during a drive from Brownfield’s home town of Columbus, Ohio, to his coal mine in New Lexington, a journey of about 75 minutes. He started that journey with a firm conviction in his mind to work on the Creed, and it was during that trip that the following words came to his mind which he put on paper.

The brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations: Economic justice can be.st be won by free men through free enterprise. Government should be of laws rather than of men. Earth’s great treasure lies in human personality. Service to humanity is the best work of life.

It was not until 1950 that the first line- “We believe that faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life” was added.

Since that time to this day Jaycees all over the world recite the Creed at local, national and international meetings and functions. However, there has been much discussion about the interpretation of the Creed. The author himself said: “Every Jaycee is free to interpret the Creed in the light of his own conscience.”

The following interpretation is based on Brownfield’s views and the common understanding and belief of what the Creed means to the organization.

We Believe Every man must believe in some ideal, principle or philosophy. To believe is to practice what is believed to be true.

That Faith in God Gives Meaning and Purpose to Human Life “God” here does not refer to any specific religious God, but to a supreme omnipotence. It does not matter who or what your God is the line is just saying that you must believe in something, Brownfield’s own interpretation is;

JCI Malaysia (Area Sabah) E-Newsletter Issue 01/2018 The Jaycee membership, drawn from many religious backgrounds, is united by a common bond of faith; that man lives by the will of (his/her) God, that God’s will for man is good; and that the life worthwhile is lived in harmony with His eternal plan.

That Brotherhood of Man Transcends the Sovereignty of Nations This line breaks down all the boundaries that have been imagined by man. It simply means that all men and women are equal. It respects allegiance to one’s country, but at the same time reinforces the idea that man is a citizen of the world. Brownfield puts it this way: Man-made boundaries have been drawn and redrawn, separating the human race into many nations/ But across these unnatural divisions there has been an intercourse in art, science, commerce and religion; evidence of man’s universal brotherhood: proof that man himself, not his territorial divisions, is of basic worth.

That Economic Justice Can Best Be Won by Free Men through Free Enterprise The operative words here are “can best be won.” The Jaycees believe that man should be free to use his skills and ability to the limit in improving his economy. Brownfield makes the point: Where economic improvement has been greatest man has been free to follow his dream of making a personal fortune by doing something never done before or by doing it better.

He adds further clarity with the following: But the system of self-development through private enterprise could be adapted with variations to suit local conditions in many parts of the world.

That Government Should Be of Laws Rather Than of Men This tenet of the Creed simply means that no man should be above the law, and that the law should be the same for all men no matter what status they may hold in society. The government must be based on constitutional law accepted and ratified by a majority of the people. The power to change laws and elect governments should remain in the hands of the majority of the people.

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, spoke of a government “of the people, for the people, and by the people.” This line of the Jaycee Creed crystalizes what President Lincoln was talking about so many decades ago.

Brownfield articulated the meaning of this tenet: In a free society the fundamental law is derived from the people. It is they who hold the final authority.

That Earth’s Great Treasure Lies in Human Personality Every individual has a separate and unique personality. That is the main difference between humans and the other things in this world. That uniqueness makes the human personality earth’s great treasure. It cannot be duplicated nor can it be made;

Junior Ju J uni nior nior or C Chamber hamb ha m er In International nterna nt ati tion onal a Mala Malaysia laysia (Area la (Ar Arrea e Sabah) Sabah)

JCI Malaysia (Area Sabah) E-Newsletter Issue 01/2018

Brownfield’s views on this line are: True treasure lies in the hearts of men. There is about us a vast field of opportunity for cultivation of the human personality. It is neither the quantity nor the length of life that gives it zest, but the quality of living, the achievement we make in terms of human progress.

And that service to humanity is the best work of life This, the final tenet of the Jaycee Creed, is a logical culmination to the preceding lines. A person who believes in the Creed will most definitely find service to humanity the best work of life. Note the word humanity, not just friends and family.

Brownfield’s interpretation to these concluding lines of his Creed is: The life lived unselfishly grows richer, deeper and fuller. Joy is more enduring and peace of mind, more certain. The world looks at the contribution such a life has made and marks the one who lived it as a benefactor of the race; yet he knows in truth the greater benefit has been his own.

No matter what a member’s interpretation of the Creed may be, he should always practice what he believes. Many unsuccessful attempts have been made to change the Creed, but it has prevailed through the years. It continues to exist as the covenant that holds the organization together. Many members have made the Creed their guide in life.

Brownfield aptly summarized his interpretation of the Creed when he said: ... Only in the deed can the word become flesh!

Researchers have shown that optimism, quality of life & satisfaction, and other positive psychological attributes can do wonders for patients’ recovery and healing. While hospitals provide the doctors, medicine, equipment and treatment to the patients to make them better but how well they heal also depends on their mental state of mind.

This together with the Ahli Lembaga Pelawat, JCI KK co-organised the Chinese New Year for the patients of Sabah Women and Children Hospital,Likas. Our aim was to create a fanfare out of Chinese New where we would endeavour to bring a little of the colour, sights and sounds of Chinese New Year to the patients. This event has been an ongoing eort by the Ahli Lembaga Pelawat for the past 11 years and this celebration has now become a running tradition for them. JCI KK is honoured to be part of this tradition.

A paralysed septuagenarian here is now living in relative comfort thanks to a group of enterprising and selfless youngsters.

Joseph Juanis Miat, 75, suffered a mishap two months ago while in Donggongon town near here and has since been left a paraplegic.

His only relative, younger brother Conrad, 68, decided to move Joseph to his own house in Kampung Madsiang here – but the facilities proved to be inadequate.

Conrad, who was assisted by his wife and three grown children in taking care of his brother, was concerned over the latter’s situation. But that’s when the group of youngsters stepped in.

The 25 youth – from the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Penampang, Lintas and Kota Kinabalu; Gen Y; Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Centennial; and United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut organisation (Upko) Natural Disasters Bureau – had heard of Joseph’s plight, and resolved to help him.

Together, they helped build an attachment to Conrad’s house – a room on the ground floor for Joseph, complete with a reclineable bed and other necessities.

Chairman of Gen Y, Douglas Valentine, said each group member chipped in to finance the project, and together with donations, they managed to collect about RM10,000 to build the room.
