The Sarawak Initiatives launches website

KUCHING: The Sarawak Initiatives (TSI), a civil society set up on Feb 22 this year, officially launched its website at www.thesarawakinitiatives.org yesterday.

Its chairman Datuk John Tenewi in a statement said TSI is encouraging Sarawakians to be part of the organisation and support its struggles and objectives.

Visitors to the website can register themselves as “Friends of TSI” to show their support for the organisation.

There are currently six videos posted on the website, showing the work being pursued by TSI and what it represents for all Sarawakians.

“TSI is a Sarawak-based nongovernmental organisation (NGO) pursuing five specific objectives, with a global perspective, focusing on issues facing Sarawakians.

“Among its objectives are to promote and help all Sarawakians attain a high level and standard of education; create a peaceful and harmonious living environment; cultivate good values and integrity; create a unique Sarawak identity based on Sarawak cultural diversities; and create a healthy economy,” he said.

On creating a unique Sarawak identity, he said TSI believes it is time for Sarawakians to come together to create a “Sarawak Identity” based on the people’s beautiful diversities.

“With a Sarawak identity, all Sarawakians will be more united and their bonds and friendship will grow stronger,” he added.

As such, experts in various fields and aspects of life may contact TSI through its website in order to register their interest to participate in the creation of a Sarawak Identity.

These fields include History & Anthropology, Culture & Tradition, Music & Dance, Costume & Jewelleries, Art & Crafts, Folklores & Mythology, Poems & Literature, Occult & Mysticism, Choreography & Photography, Heritage & Legacies, and Cuisine & Culinary Art.
