UEC recognition helps Sarawak retain human capital, says Abang Jo


SIBU: Sarawak will lose a lot of human capital if it does not recognise the United Examination Certificate (UEC), says Tan Sri Datuk Abang Johari Tun Openg.

Speaking at the launching of the World Foochow Shi Yi Park and SJK (C) Dung Sang extension projects on Monday (Dec 13), the caretaker chief minister said the previous state government supported Chinese education with financial assistance to the tune of RM10mil annually, much like the support given to mission schools.
