Located in the heart of Borneo, Universiti Malaysia Sabah stands as a gateway to knowledge, culture, and biodiversity unique to this region. As the publishing arm of UMS, our Press plays a vital role in supporting the University’s vision: “UMS strives to be an innovative university of global standing.” Through our publications, we not only advance research and creativity but also highlight the voices, ideas, and discoveries shaped by the rich diversity of Borneo and beyond.

UMS Press is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic publishing. Every book, journal, and scholarly resource we produce reflects the values of integrity, quality, and innovation. At UMS Press, we believe publishing is more than producing books or journals. It is about nurturing thought, preserving knowledge, and inspiring future generations.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the dedicated staff of UMS Press, whose hard work and commitment make our achievements possible. At the same time, I welcome feedback and suggestions as we continue to strengthen and improve the Press in serving the academic and wider community.

I warmly welcome you, academics, researchers, students, and readers, to collaborate with us as we continue our journey “From Borneo’s Wisdom to Global Knowledge.” I also invite you to explore our website, where you can learn about our publications, activities, and initiatives.

Thank you.
