But there are some, unfortunately not many, performing GLCs which are Sabah’s silver linings. Thank God for small blessings.

Scenes from the past: Sports at the Jesselton Padang in 1915. - Pic for illustration only.
16TH NOV 1938
IT had almost become a proverb amongst the complacent residents of Sandakan that “on Charter day it never rains,” but after this year the proverb is no more. True the Water Sports were held in gloriously fine weather throughout, but such weather only made people come down to the land sports on the padang in the afternoon optimistic and unprovided for the downpour that ruined the later events.
The ladies arrived in their summery lovelinesses, and had in consequence to rush for the pavilion as the first proceedings for breaks in the rain to allow them to get to their cars in safety.

The Herald of 50 Years Ago The following is taken from the Herald of the 1st July, 1888
We take the subjoined telegram from the Straits Times of the 14th May, 1888:- The British Government has signed an agreement assuming tutelage of British North Borneo.
No definite information has yet been received of the terms agreed upon by the Court and the Foreign Office with regard to the protectorate established over this territory.

But without venturing to draw any rash inferences we may congratulate ourselves that British North Borneo will henceforth enjoy a more permanent and secure position under the aegis of the British Government than that which it has hitherto occupied under the Charter.

On the 1st January, the Fiftieth Anniversary of the British North Borneo Company’s administration of this territory will be commemorated by a special series of postage stamps. It is not our wish, nor our custom, to eulogise every new issue which appears, but we are going to state, here and now, that the forthcoming North Borneo set, of which we are able to illustrate die-proofs, is one of the most beautiful which has been made – the designing and the colouring being superb.
And that is a conservative statement since many may consider it the most beautiful of all. North Borneo has always given us attractive postage stamps but these excel anything that they have offered us before.
