A PKR senator has rejected employing meritocracy in a strict manner in Sarawak after the state
00:08
decided to do away with admission quotas at the five state-owned universities.
00:14
Senator Abun Sui Aniet said a strict approach towards meritocracy would not work due to
00:19
the imbalanced distribution of wealth across the state, Dayat Veli reported.
00:25
He said rural folks still lacked access to basic infrastructure like clean water supply,
00:30
electricity, the internet and roads, putting them on an unequal footing compared with their
00:36
urban counterparts.
00:38
Abun said targeted affirmative action was still needed under the state's 2025 budget
00:43
to uplift such communities and pave the way for a more balanced economic landscape.
00:50
He added that a comprehensive policy overhaul was needed to ensure sustainable growth and
00:55
to provide rural population support to thrive alongside urban areas.
01:01
Last Saturday, Sarawak Deputy Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister Dr Anwar Rapai
01:07
said admission into five state-owned universities will be based solely on meritocracy to pick
01:12
the best of the best.
01:15
The five universities are the Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus, Curtin University
01:20
Malaysia, University of Technology Sarawak, ICATS University College and Centre for Technology
01:26
Excellence Sarawak.
