UMS unveils ‘Brain of Borneo’ strategic vision
Under the “Brain of Borneo” vision, Kasim outlined six strategic B.O.R.N.E.O frameworks: brilliant talents, outstanding academia and professionals, revolutionary research, notable visibility, exemplary leadership and governance, and operational sustainability.
Kota Kinabalu: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) launched its strategic vision for the year themed “The Brain of Borneo”, marking a new phase in its transformation into a values-based, integrity-centred institution with global impact.

“This initiative reflects UMS’ commitment to strengthening its position as a leading intellectual authority in Borneo while expanding its role as a respected strategic partner,” said Vice-Chancellor Datuk Dr Kasim Mansor during his address on Friday.

B.R.A.I.N represents five guiding principles — beneficent, resilient, authentic, inclusive and nurture. Kasim explained that being beneficent means delivering tangible societal benefits through knowledge and research, while resilience ensures the university remains competitive and adaptable in a changing landscape.
