BERNAMA
KOTA KINABALU, Sat:
The Consulate-General of Japan here has presented a grant of RM275,326.51 to the Montfort Youth Training Centre (MYTC) here for its new campus in Kinarut, Papar.
A contract offering the grant was signed here today by Consul General Koichi Morita and MYTC Director Francis Chua. It was witnessed by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, who is also the chairman of the MYTC board of directors.
Morita said the Japanese government decided to continue with its Grassroot Grant Assistance Programme in Sabah, which began in 2001, so that the youths in the rural areas of the state could improve their skills and techniques through vocational training.
Chua said the new centre was expected to begin operations at the end of February and would enrol new students in June.
He said the new centre, which took about a year to complete at a cost of RM5.5 million raised by the MYTC, would be able to accommodate 125 students compared with only 60 at the existing campus. — BERNAMA
