MIRI: Two universities have forged a partnership with Australias Curtin University of Technology to devise a sustainable energy and telecommunications system to help about a million rural folks in Sarawak and Sabah.
Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) and Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) have agreed to take part in the project as both states have a large rural population that is deprived of proper electricity and telecommunication facilities, said Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam.
