Kota Kinabalu — From forward planning to festive celebration, Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) brought its people together for SEC COMMIT x Christmas Luncheon 2025 at Menara SEC.
The programme began with a strategic panel session titled “SEC Commit: Game On 2030”, featuring SEC’s emerging leadership talent from the Finance, Legal and Secretariat, Human Resources and Administration, Technical Services, and Corporate Strategy divisions. The session offered staff a clearer understanding of SEC’s direction, priorities and the role young leaders play in shaping the Corporation’s contribution to Sabah’s energy development.
As discussions on strategy concluded, the focus shifted to appreciation with an outdoor-style Christmas Luncheon officiated by SEC Chairman YBhg. Datuk Annuar Ayub, Deputy Chairman YBhg.

The luncheon was held as a gesture of thanks for the dedication shown by SEC employees throughout the year.

The celebration was enlivened by a carolling competition, lucky draw and food stalls, creating a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. In bringing together planning and appreciation, purpose and people, SEC reaffirmed its commitment to a workplace where employees feel valued as partners in building Sabah’s energy future.
Kota Kinabalu — Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) continues its commitment to inclusive education through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, “Sekolahku, Harapanku”, which has now entered its second year with an expanded reach to more schools across Sabah.
For many children, school represents hope, opportunity and the promise of a better future. However, for some, financial and social challenges continue to affect their learning experience. Recognising this gap, SEC introduced Sekolahku, Harapanku as a pilot programme in 2024 to provide targeted assistance to students from less privileged backgrounds.
The initiative began with selected schools, namely SK Pekan Sipitang (Sipitang), SK Lapasan Telipok, and SK Laya-Laya Tuaran, with support channelled through the respective schools and Parent-Teacher Associations (PIBGs). This approach ensured that assistance reached students who needed it most in a practical and meaningful manner.
As the programme concludes its second year, SEC has expanded its support to five schools, reflecting both the continued need and the Corporation’s sustained commitment. The schools involved this year are SK Malawa Sepangar, SK Laya-Laya Tuaran, SK Ulu Sipitang (Sipitang), SK Indarason Laut (Kudat), and SK Kimanis (Papar).
While the assistance provided may appear modest, such as school uniforms, bags and learning essentials, its impact is significant. Beyond addressing immediate needs, the programme helps restore confidence, dignity and a sense of belonging among students, enabling them to focus on their education.
SEC aspires to continue and further expand Sekolahku, Harapanku in the coming years, to reach more schools and extend greater support to students across Sabah. Through this initiative, SEC reaffirms its belief that while not every challenge can be removed, meaningful action, no matter how small, can carry lasting hope.

The dividend was presented during the Majlis Penyampaian Dividen & Sumbangan 2025 held at Menara Kinabalu. The presentation was made by SEC Chairman, YBhg. Datuk Annuar Aman, accompanied by SEC Group Chief Executive Officer, YBhg. Datuk Ir. Adzmir Abd Rahman, to the Chief Minister of Sabah, YAB Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji bin Haji Noor.
The ceremony was witnessed by Deputy Chief Minister II, YB Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun; Deputy Chief Minister III, YB Datuk Ewon Benedict; State Secretary, YB Datuk Safar Untong; and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance Sabah, YBhg. Datuk Sofian Alfian Nair.
For the financial year under review, SEC recorded a robust performance at both Group and company levels. Group profit before tax rose to RM73.04 million, representing an increase of approximately 81 per cent compared with RM40.3 million in 2023. At the company level, profit before tax reached RM54.6 million, up about 59 per cent from RM34.4 million in the previous year. Meanwhile, its wholly owned subsidiary, Asian Supply Base Sdn. Bhd. (ASB) recorded a profit before tax of RM34.5 million, an increase of approximately 77 per cent from RM19.5 million in 2023.
Datuk Adzmir additionally noted that from an initial State Government paid-up capital of RM299.9 million, the accumulated profits after continuous reinvestments have grown the Shareholders’ Fund to exceed RM1 billion by the end of 2024. Since the Company’s inception, the SEC Group’s book value per share has increased fivefold, from RM0.70 to RM3.56. As of now, the SEC has contributed a total of RM273.5 million in dividends to the Government.
The improved performance was driven by disciplined and prudent expenditure management, stronger operational efficiencies, committed leadership, and continued support from the Sabah State Government. The results also reflect SEC’s ongoing focus on strengthening its financial resilience while delivering sustainable value to the State and its people.
With a solid financial foundation in place, SEC remains optimistic about sustaining earnings growth and enhancing shareholder returns in the years ahead.
Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) has launched a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in collaboration with the Sabah Autism Society, marking the official start of the Autism Farm in Tuaran. The initiative reflects SEC’s commitment to supporting community empowerment, sustainable livelihoods, and inclusive development in Sabah.
The launch was officiated by SEC Group CEO, Datuk Ir. Adzmir Abd Rahman, together with the Society’s President, Puan Jennifer Balanting, and its committee members. Joined by 35 SEC employees, the team planted the first 100 roselle seedlings—symbolising the beginning of a sustainable, community-driven agricultural project with room for growth and long-term impact.
Beyond the symbolic planting, SEC is providing comprehensive support to ensure the farm’s success. This includes land clearing, installation of irrigation systems, supply of seedlings, tools, and ongoing maintenance. The initiative aims not only to establish the farm but also to ensure that it is equipped for lasting productivity.
The roselle harvest will later be processed into juice, offering the Sabah Autism Society a steady source of income to sustain and expand its programmes for children with special needs. This value-added approach strengthens the Society’s capacity to deliver essential services and reduce its reliance on donations.
The Sabah Autism Society has long championed autism awareness and support for children with special needs, often operating with limited resources. SEC is honoured to stand alongside the Society in this journey, contributing to the creation of opportunities, financial resilience, and greater community understanding.
