KOTA KINABALU: Education is slated to be the next big thing for conglomerate DRB-Hicom Bhd which has pumped about RM350mil into its International College of Automotive (ICAM) in Pahang.

“The ICAM management is already presenting our proposals to the Higher Education Ministry to grant us university status. I am very bullish about this, and am looking at an enrolment of 7,000 students within the next five years,” DRB-Hicom group managing director Tan Sri Mohd Khamil Jamil told reporters on Monday at a media excursion to Sabah.
