Oh, come on. It’s difficult enough to get good quality graduates of the classical engineering disciplines. Now you want to limit them to a trade? What will the BEM say?
Dateline 2012-10-14:
Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) will consider a suggestion by Labuan Corporation to set up a faculty of oil and gas and shipping at its Labuan Campus.
UMS vice chancellor Professor Datuk Dr Mohd Harun Abdullah said this yesterday in response to the suggestion by Labuan Corporation deputy chief executive officer, Amir Onn Mustpha during the UMS-KAL Town Gown Program here yesterday.
“Oil and gas is an important field of studies and we will look into this matter including the facilities before we can open up the faculty at UMS, Labuan International Campus (UMS-KAL),” he said.
Amir earlier told the media that if UMS-KAL could start the oil and gas school here, students could go for their training and practical at several oil and gas companies here.
“These students can get a job in oil and gas sector here right after they finish their studies later.
“LC is also ready to help UMS-KAL in terms of facilities including land to help the campus to set up the school here,” he said.
