KUCHING, April 24: Two teams from SMK Medamit, Limbang, have qualified for the final round of the prestigious International Creativity & Innovation Award (ICIA), set to take place from April 25 to 28 at the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Tegas chief executive officer (CEO) Udin Bujang expressed pride in the achievement, stating, “This is not only a victory for SMK Medamit but also a testament to what can be achieved when we invest in nurturing young talent, regardless of their geographical location. At Tegas, we believe talent exists everywhere, and opportunity must be equally accessible.”
Tegas congratulates SMK Medamit and all who have contributed to this inspiring journey, marking yet another milestone in its mission to empower and support youth innovation across Sarawak.
Their accomplishment underscores Tegas’ continued commitment to bridging the urban-rural innovation gap and supporting youth development initiatives aligned with the Post-Covid Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030. — DayakDaily
