00:04 Sarawakians may be able to pursue free tertiary education at all state-owned universities by 2026,
00:11 says Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Oping.
00:14 Abang Johari said he was optimistic that the Sarawak government would be able to offer this benefit to Sarawakians in three years' time,
00:22 given the state's economic strength, the Bonio Post reported.
00:26 To that end, Abang Johari said he has asked the State Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister,
00:32 Roland Saga Wee In and his deputy, Dr Anwar Api, to conduct a study on how the state can provide free tertiary education.
00:41 Based on this study, he believes that, under the 13th Malaysia Plan, Sarawak will be able to give Sarawakians free tertiary education by 2025 or 2026.
00:52 Noting that Sarawak's revenue of RM12 billion last year was the highest ever, Abang Johari said the state is on track to surpass it this year.
