According to a news report by Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas) today, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Dato’ Sri Huang Tiong Sii, the establishment of higher education institutions under the initiative of the Sarawak government is an effort to provide opportunities for students to continue their studies at universities owned by the Sarawak government.

“By taking this opportunity, students can get the information they need to make a better decision about the educational institution they want to follow,” he said.
