RANAU: It is high time for the Universiti
Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and Universiti
Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Sabah to
introduce a Faculty of Law in their campus
to cater to the demand from students.
Minister of Resource and Information
Technology Development, Datuk Siringan
Gubat said the government must consider
the opportunity for the benefit of local
students who wish to enrol in law studies
but are unable to do it abroad.
" As a matter offact, we are thankful that
the A Level course is finally available in
Sabah through the Aseana International
College in Kota Kinabalu. This .is a
commendable development because it
especially benefits our local students.
"As we also know, UiTM in the
peninsula offers legal studies but not in
Sabah. . So considering the current
development as well as the need for the .
growth of education in Sabah, we think it is
only right for the government to take a step
towards this," he said.
Siringan who is also the Paginatan
Assemblyman was . speaking when
officiating the Annual General Meeting for
the Parents and Teachers Association
(PTA) in SMK Matupang Ranau on
