Assalamu’alaikum WBT and Selamat Sejahtera to all,

I would like to extend a welcome to all of you regardless of whether you are students, faculty members, distinguished guests, or potential future business leaders. Welcome to the Faculty of Business, Economics and Accountancy (FBEA), Universiti Malaysia Sabah.

In today’s global business landscape, disruption in the business environment and continuous technological shift have become a new norm that occurs in today’s business environment. These changes filter down to the workplace where the evolving reality makes Malaysia the centre of the growth engine in this region.

At FBEA, we embrace business culture and challenges through scholarly activities. We hold steadfastly to our core principles, which include professionalism, inclusiveness, collaboration, and innovation. These values form the foundation for all our interactions with stakeholders such as students, industry partners and the wider community. Our primary goal is to nurture the generation of business leaders while fostering a thriving research culture among our esteemed faculty members.

In line with our vision and mission, we aim to achieve international accreditation so that we can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best business institutions in the region. Our vision is crystal clear: “Becoming a Reputable Faculty through Impactful Innovation and Engagement.” We are committed to realizing this vision by remaining at the forefront of innovation and engaging actively with our local and global communities.

Our mission is to nurture future leaders in business, economics, and accountancy. In addition to imparting knowledge, we also instill values that support ethical business practices and sustainability. We firmly believe that our graduates should not only be proficient in their respective disciplines, but also be socially responsible individuals who make positive contributions to the society.

I hope that you will take these beliefs with you as you begin your journey with us at FBEA, whether as a student, a member of the faculty, or a partner, and help us to shape the future of business, economics, and accountancy in Malaysia and beyond.
