KOTA KINABALU: The federal government approved an allocation of RM3 million to Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to help solve water supply problems at the university.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said although the country was facing a national debt of RM1.5 trillion, he did not want the UMS students to face hardship while pursuing knowledge.

“We will channel the money to the state government in the next few days.

“Don’t disturb the students, don’t disturb the staff. It is the responsibility of the federal government,” he said at the Meet Anwar @UMS Kota Kinabalu event today.

Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said it was not easy for the allocation to be given, but it was being provided because he understood the difficulties faced by the students, whom he considered to be his children.

He said the federal government was committed to overcoming the problem of dilapidated schools in the country.

“I asked the education minister (Fadhlina Sidek) how much was needed to repair the dilapidated schools and damaged toilets. They need RM1.4 billion.

“From my experience, when I see a school with eight toilets, four will be broken. If it has four toilets, three will be damaged.

“Do we want to teach our children to queue up (to go to the toilet) like in the film Bujang Lapok?” - FMT
