Our Youth... Our Future

The word 'SCORE', associated with achieving success, is such a buzzword in Sarawak nowadays with everyone seem to be talking about it.

Over here, SCORE denotes for Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy, a new concept for development which is poised to thrust Sarawak into becoming one of the richest state in Malaysia by the year 2030.

For such an ambitious attempt to succeed, the contributions of today's youths are very much needed to fill in the many job opportunities and taking the lead in the future.

In an interview with Dato Patrick Liew, Editor-in-Chief of Happenings, Yang Amat Berhormat (YAB) Chief Minister Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud said the job opportunities will be available in the three components of SCORE.

Yayasan Sarawak takes on the challenge for Technical Skills Development

It is beyond any reasonable doubt that Yayasan Sarawak has always been proactive in creating and promoting technical and vocational skills arduously since its establishment 40 years back. Yayasan Sarawak realizes that while it is also responsible in creating a large number of graduates, it also bears the responsibility to ensure the marketability of school leavers, particularly in meeting the human resource demands by the state.

Thus In 1973, the Biasiswa Kursus Kemahiran or ‘Skills Course Scholarship’ was created in order to facilitate students who are interested to pursue their studies in technical or vocational courses. This scholarship, assisted and supported by institutions such as the Institut Kemahiran Mara became the catalyst for various other technical and vocational oriented funding and assistance programmes in the future.

For the past decade, AMHOME Flooring has been providing its expertise on laminated, engineering and solid timber flooring to customers while ensuring that they receive the best high technology timber floor products in terms of quality, service, installation and pricing.

It's how Recreation is done

Managed under the Sarawak Lawn Tennis Association (SLTA), KIRC has three futsal courts, two sepak takraw courts, two basketball courts, a badminton court, two volleyball courts and jogging track as well as an open area for tai chi or wushu exercise.

“It is great to see youths, families in the community perusing the sports facilities at the centre as this meant that they are practising healthy lifestyle,” says SLTA President Dato Patrick Liew.
