Sometime at the end of 2019, COVID-19 virus reared its ugly presence in Wuhan, China, which then spread globally and Malaysia was not spared. In response the Government abruptly announced on 13th March 2020 to impose the Movement Control Order (MCO), a lockdown for the whole country, from 18 March 2020 initially for month, then followed extension by another 2 months and further more.

The COVID – 19 virus has put a fear in everyone to stay home.  Every sector of the Malaysian economy was affected by this lockdown, practically every business was at a standstill except for the essential services. The lifestyle of people drastically changes to adapt to the pandemic environment. 

The pandemic has also profoundly affected Outward Bound Sabah as practically all our loyal clients were unable to participate in Outward Bound programmes.

Being an Outward Bounder, we strive to be resilient and do what it takes to move on. During the hibernation, we have not been idle, we have been refreshing and upgrading the skills and facilities to prepare for the recovery and receive participants.
