KUCHING: The Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) is ready to support Sarawak’s initiative to establish aerospace courses at state-owned institutions.

Mminister Datuk Seri Diraja Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said his ministry is prepared to collaborate with the state government on the matter.

“I have said that at the university level, we are prepared to collaborate and I understand that teams from public higher learning institutions (IPTA) are committed to supporting Sarawak’s plans,” he said.
