Senator Datuk Dr. Sim Kui Hian asked how many Sarawakians have been given Petronas scholarship during the 2010 to 2015 period.
Dato’ Sri Wahid Omar from the PM department, clarified that between 2010 to 2014, the total number of students given scholarship was 1151 for the whole country. Out of this 102 were given to Sarawak students.
Dr. Sim said Human resources opportunities and developments is more important than physical infrastructure development. He said the country wanted to be a high income country with high human resources. Not a high income country with poor human resources.
He hoped to see its implementation to ensure Sarawak is on par with the rest of Malaysia.
