The organising Chairperson of the event, Kok Ann of the Rotary Club of Kota Kinabalu, says "Civilisation evolved using inventions that directly change the way we live. For thousands of years, innovative individuals played a main part in such change. A teenager invented something as ubiquitous as the television. SINDEX is here to play a role in that evolution - to give young inventors a platform to show their incredible ideas'.
