THE HISTORY

It was through this program that many concerned citizens felt it was necessary to form a registered body to look into the environmental issues in the state.

On the 23rd November 1982, 28 concerned citizens met and endorsed the formation of SABAH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (SEPA) with the following objectives:

1. To care for the environment.

2. To discourage activities that lead towards the deterioration of the environment.

3. To initiate measures and actions for the improvement and protection of the environment.

4.To stimulate public awareness, concern and responsibility for the state of the environment.

The following members were elected as the First Protem Committee of SEPA:

PROTEM PRESIDENT : HENRY CHOK
PROTEM SECRETARY : CHRISTINE VAN HOUTEN
PROTEM TREASURER : SUSAN CHUNG
RESEARCH (URBAN) : LAURENTIUS KITINGAN
RESEARCH (RURAL) : RAKMI ABD RAHMAN
