INTRODUCTION
Assalamualaikum and greetings! Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Nur Fareesha Erfiefa Binti Mohd Farid Afie, and I am originally from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I am currently pursuing a diploma in English for Professional Communication at the UiTM Melaka, Alor Gajah campus, where I am in my last semester. As you can see from the title of my E-Book, "Get to Know the Magnificent Labuan," I shall introduce one of Malaysia's Federal Territories, Labuan. I want to warmly welcome all readers, particularly those from Sabah, Sarawak, and Peninsular who have never visited Labuan before, into my very first made E-BOOK titled "Get to Know The Magnificent Labuan, "The Pearl of Borneo". The idea of creating this E-Book started all the way from I was assigned with an assignment, actually it was a final year project that we need to work on, so I was having the idea of promoting Labuan island because I have always been wanting to introduce Labuan to people especially for those who are from Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular so this is the opportunity that I got to introduce Labuan to people out there. Since there are a lot of information that I really want to show, so by creating an E-Book and a video, I think it is a suitable medium for me to achieve my goal in introducing the island particularly the tourism in Labuan . Therefore, I was grateful for the opportunity to finally introduce the island through a project where the entire content and purpose is to let people know how magnificent this island is. I want to take this opportunity too to express my appreciation to my supervisor, Dr Amirah Mohd Juned, for monitoring me throughout the semester and for always being supportive and providing helpful reminders while I worked on my project. She believed in me from the beginning of my project until I successfully completed my E-Book and video, and she is one of the reasons I am motivated to work on my project and has placed her trust in me. Introduction 1
2 I am eternally grateful for you, Dr. After that, of course I would want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my family members for assisting and supporting me from the very beginning. They also believed in me and proceed to inspire me to this day, and they are genuinely the best people on the planet. Following that, I would love to extend my appreciation to those who assisted me and participated in the creation of my E-Book, such as the Tourism Department, the Labuan Culture and Arts Corporation (JPKK) with whom I conducted an interview who successfully managed to give me excellent, satisfying responses. I appreciate the department very highly. Labuan Corporation is one of the organizations in Labuan that performs a significant role, particularly in terms of advertising the island to domestic and international audiences and tremendously caring for tourism products, and they have done an outstanding work from the beginning to the present. Not to mention all of the other departments that exist in the Labuan island; they truly have a terrific teamwork and contribution for the island. Labuan is thrilled. Lastly, I am thankful for everyone who assisted me with the Google forms that I provided, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude when I read all of the responses. Thank you so much to everyone.

CONCLUSION
Conclusion Labuan Island has been discovered as one of the finest places for people to visit, and the island has proven to the world that it has special traits which render it one of Malaysia's most popular islands. However, some have never visited the island, and others have never heard of the island, which inspired me to create a project that would introduce people to Labuan. The process of acquiring information was already challenging, and there were specific strategies that needed to be canceled or revised entirely. However, every endeavor performed well, and I was satisfied with the outcomes. Even though certain portions did not go as anticipated, the results from all tasks: interviews, appointments, taking photographs and videos, and preparing a survey question (Google form) were excellent and pleasant. However, each procedure that I went through taught me a lot because I realized from the very beginning that this project would demand a lot of effort and diligent work. I was grateful for finally completing the project that I planned on focusing on because I had received a lot of encouragement and support from others around me. I will be eternally grateful to each one of you. Thus, I sincerely hope that others will have the opportunity to learn more about Labuan by using my developed methods as their medium to discover more about the island. I truly believe that the created E-Book, film, and quotation cards aided people who used them, particularly the intended audience of Sabah, Sarawak, and Peninsular Malaysia. I would be incredibly delighted if you were pleased with my created results because there are also for you. Labuan will always remain that one small island surrounded with love and care for the surroundings, and as someone who has known Labuan for years, I would be honored to be a part of the Labuan population. 28
