UMS: Time to set up campus in Sandakan

Kota Kinabalu: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) will continue with its plan to build a RM120 million branch campus in Sandakan to cater for the need to expand higher learning education in the East Coast.

UMS Vice-chancellor, Prof. Datuk Dr Mohd Noh Dalimin, said the allocation to build the School of Agriculture facility would be acquired under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) and that the matter, in principle, had been agreed upon.

He said Minister of Higher Education, Datuk Mustapa Mohamed, had announced this when the latter officially launched the Anjung Siswa at the UMS recently.

"(Moreover) it is about time that we set up something permanent here (Sandakan) after renting a temporary building for 10 years," he said after delivering his address at the "UMS Off Campus Programme New Intake Aku Janji" programme, Sunday.

He said the off campus programme in Sandakan was started in 1996 by renting a building that belonged to Sabah Forestry Education Institute (formerly known as Sabah Forestry Training Institute).

Because of its historical connection, being the first UMS off campus programme in Sabah, it is important the proposal is implemented, said Dr Mohd nor.

The School of Agriculture, he said, would have three branches of studies, namely Livestock Production, Crop Production and Horticulture and Landscape.

In addition to the school, he said they would be building hostels, a library, lecture halls and IT facilities, among others.

Towards this end, he said the most important is to set the "ceiling" in relation to standard and cost.

"We have to inform what we are planning to do and they (Government) will determine the cost that we can use," he said, adding with UMS physical presence, Sandakan would be able to generate academic development.

Dr Mohd Noh said the UMS is also planning to build new branches in other parts of Sabah similar to its branch in Labuan.

On other developments, he said the students in the forestry programme would probably be required to attend classes at the main campus in Kota Kinabalu for the first two years.

After that, they would return to Sandakan to complete the remaining two years of their studies, he said.

More than 400 students under the UMS Off-Campus Programme (PLUMS) took their oath Sunday.

According to Dr Mohd Noh, up to 2006-2007 session, PLUMS has offered a total of 12 programmes, including Bachelor's Degree in Education (Social Science, Science/Mathematics, Economy, TESL), Psychology Counseling, Business (Finance and Banking), Computer and Social Science.

This year, he said, the UMS via the PLUMS offered three new programmes in Sports Science, Business (Marketing) and Economy (Human Resource Economy).

"In addition to that, for the first time, the Masters programme in Education (Education Management) is offered at the Sandakan branch starting end of this month," he said.

So far, he said there are 167 students at the Sandakan branch while in Tawau, 23.
