MIRI: Curtin University Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia) recently told a group of community leaders what it is all about.
“We want to see the next generation become leaders who will bring positive change to our community, state, and country,” said its Dean of Learning and Teaching, Professor Tang Fu Ee.
Towards this end he said the university opens its doors to all ambitious Sarawakian students who aspire to pursue their dreams through higher education.
“With the support of the Sarawak government, we ensure that high-quality education is accessible to everyone without burdening their parents,” he said.
Tang was delivering a speech on behalf of Pro Vice-Chancellor, President and Chief Executive Professor Simon Leunig at the ‘Curtin Malaysia Information Session 2024’ for local community leaders and heads of government agencies at its campus.
The event, organised by Curtin Malaysia’s Department of Domestic Student Recruitment and External Engagement, was attended by about 50 representatives of community associations, village security and development committees (JKKK), and various government departments and agencies here.
Curtin Malaysia us one of five institutions of higher learning owned by the Sarawak government through Yayasan Sarawak.
Tang underscored the importance of education as the key to personal and community development, opening doors to better career opportunities and laying the foundation for sustainable social and economic development.
“Our community plays a vital role as a centre of education, supporting formal education in schools and universities while instilling values,
ethics, and important life skills,” he said.
A similar session was held in Bintulu earlier.
