Life In Borneo

The fundraising event for the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre went down successfully last night at the Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa on Friday 14th November 2008. The event was able to raise a total of RM 1.3 million, which exceeded far beyond anyone’s expectations.

A line-up of Malaysia’s best-known musicians, television and film personalities delivered “compelling conservation messages with music, comedy, bear stories, art and rare video footage of Sun Bears in the wild, as well as a Sun Bear-themed live auction of specially commissioned or donated artwork.”

The dinner was attended by a host of dignitaries including the Chief Minister of Sabah Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman as the guest of honour, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Datuk Masidi Manjun and Kota Kinabalu City Major Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim.
