RM25,000 scholarship for Sabah Idol champ

KOTA KINABALU: The winner of Sabah Idol Season 2, Siti Zulaiha, last week signed her acceptance letter to enrol at the ATI College Kota Kinabalu for a diploma course in tourism.

The signing ceremony was witnessed by the assistant chief executive officer of ATI College, Difiry Ubin, and managing director of Borneo Events Production (BEP), Peter Dicky Lee.

The 20-year-old lass from Tawau, who aspires to be a successful singer, is grateful for the opportunity to be able to pursue her education at ATI College as part of the top prize for winning the Sabah Idol Season 2 Grand Final held successfully at the Lahad Datu Darvel Bay Plaza late last year.

Difiry Ubin said: “We support the promotion of education through positive activities of the fine arts like the “Sabah Idol” series and “Sabah Talent Star” which will complement our plans to introduce dancing, singing and acting courses in our syllabus this year. I congratulate Borneo Events Production for taking the initiative.”

“We hope to continue this win-win partnership in the years to come. The Sabah Talent Star search which has just begun is a perfect platform for talented Sabahans to showcase their talents, because it encompasses not just singing but dancing, magic show,fire-eating performance, modelling, acting, and so on.

“ATI College supports these kind of healthy and positive activities,” Difiry said.
