Today marked the beginning of my internship at Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB). I started the day by reporting to the Senior Office Assistant, Madam Asmini Lase, who assisted me with the initial reporting procedures. I also completed the submission of necessary documents, including my i-Form and Report Duty Form, to my supervisor.

After completing the administrative tasks, I met with the Manager, Sir Alashter Sinteh, and the Assistant Manager, Sir Sharizam Japar, to receive a detailed briefing. During the briefing, they explained my role and tasks at SLDB, including my responsibilities, reporting structure, and working hours. .

On my first day, I helped prepare for the "Majlis Iftar Ramadhan dan Simbolik Penyerahan Pendapatan kepada Peneroka Wilayah Timur 2025," attended by the LTKNS Board of Directors. I worked with the team to set up the venue, manage the guest list, and handle logistics. I saw how teamwork and planning are important to make the event run smoothly. It was an exciting and meaningful start to my internship.

From my Risk Management and Insurance studies, I’ve learned that accurate record-keeping reduces risks related to compliance and operational efficiency. This experience helped me see how proper data management plays a key role in minimizing business risks while also improving my accuracy and organizational skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Senior Office Assistant (Madam Asmini Lase) introduced me to four key documents related to the letter of purchase orders (LPO). These documents are essential for managing procurement and maintenance processes within the organization. The documents introduced were as follows:
