Kota Kinabalu: Sarawak says it is forced to take additional education measures because of concern that the current Malaysian system is “not very capable of producing the quality human resources that Sarawak needs for its development and progress”.
“If you look at the National Education Act, they declare that international schools are not part of the national school system. Sarawak is going to set up six.
“These schools will be open especially to the low-income groups who will receive free education, particularly the natives,” said former Sarawak Attorney-General and ex-president of Advocates Association of Sarawak, Dato’ Seri Fong Joo Chung.
Fong said this at the first “Malaysia at 60: The Borneo States” symposium at Yayasan Sabah on Saturday.
