Report on industrial training at Sawit Kinabalu Sungai Menanggol

Sawit Kinabalu Berhad (formerly registered as Borneo Samudera Berhad) was formed when the state government of Sabah, in its continuing effort to encourage the people of Sabah to assume a more responsible role in the growth of the state, decided to corporatize the Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB). The state government believed that this will bring a greater efficiency and effectiveness, thereby optimising profitability and contributing directly to the economic growth of the nation. The Sawit Kinabalu Berhad's logo (Figure 1) defines its corporate professionalism and commitment in galvanising growth. The prominent gold signifies strength and growth into a new era of Sawit Kinabalu Berhad's diversified activities. Deep red shade of a ripe oil palm seed represent the core activity of the Sawit Kinabalu Berhad in the palm oil industry and symbolizes maturity and stability of its operation as it further embarks on a journey towards greater excellence.
