THE State Government is prepared to discuss with Petronas to establish a Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) branch in Sabah to produce graduates trained in ...
โThis means Sabah will get greater involvement in the upstream petroleum industry, as well as downstream and midstream sectors. On his part, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor said the State Government places utmost priority in education to produce skilled, competitive and competent human capital on par with other states. During the event, two Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) were signed, the first between Universiti Malaysia Sabah and UTP, to jointly strengthen their energy-based modules based on industry needs. What is needed is to introduce courses related to O&G and while nothing was formally discussed, I believe Petronas is open to discussions. This is in line with one of the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) Development Plan thrusts of the development of human capital to propel the stateโs progress and development. โIโve asked Yayasan Sabah if they can use their (UCSF) campus in Sembulan as a proposed site since all facilities are already ready there.
