KOTA KINABALU (Nov 14): The Tropical Rainforest Run 2023 is set to take place at the Tawau Hills Park in Tawau this month.
The race, which will be held on November 26, offers two trail options, the challenging 21km Tropical Rainforest Trail Run and the family-friendly six km Sulphurous Springs.
SILO mindset and practices hurt. When Alex Yee started the turtle hatchery in Libaran Island in 2013 at the asking and technical inputs from the Wildlife Department, it turned out to be a silo operation, a lone vanguard in chase of a transcendental cause.
Reaching out to a village chief for support, he found not only rejection but also literally obstruction – a classic silo mindset. Reaching out to the Sandakan local authority to clear a kilometre long turtle nesting beach buried under a mountain of garbage, he was also rejected, another silo mindset.
One day, a few years later, he sounded his intention to quit but changed his mind when a lone journalist and supporter reminded him of Vince Lombardi’s famous quote: “Winners never quit, quitters never win”.
