The present development taking place in Sibu, such as the new airport
terminal building and the two institutions of higher learning – Kolej Laila Taib
(KLT) and UCTS.
Kolej Bersatu Sarawak (UCS United College Sarawak) changed its name to Kolej
Laila Taib (KLT).
The official launch of KLT by Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud
was held on March 1, 2010, the birth day of the late Puan Sri Amar Laila Taib.
UCS board of directors decided to donate the college to the state of Sarawak for
a token sum of RM1.
The gesture is to honor Puan Sri Amar Laila Taib, the wife of the Sarawak Chief
Minister who passed away April, 2009
The RM30mil Kolej Laila Taib college stands on 4ha at the old Sibu airport.
It is a state institution of higher learning and wholly owned and managed by the
Sarawak government through Yayasan Sarawak.
The first intake of 300 students in April 2010 took up diploma courses in
quantity surveying, civil engineering, electrical and electronic engineering,
architecture and business management.
Upon graduation, the student will be able to continue to degree programmes
without going to Australia or Britain as KLT has articulation arrangements with
well-known universities in the two countries.
KLT aims to attain university-college status by 2012.
Kolej Laila Taib Education Fund was set up to provide scholarships for deserving
students to pursue tertiary education.
Sarawakian students of all races with five SPM credits can apply for the
scholarships of RM15,000 for a 3-year diploma programme.
Under principal Wong Kee Yew, UCS has made outstanding achievements in the
education industry in Sarawak and Malaysia.
It is the first private higher educational institution to achieve recognition
from Malaysian Qualifications Agency (previously known as Lembaga Akreditasi
Negara), Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awan, Board of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia,
Institution of Surveyors Malaysia, Chartered Institution of Builders and
Institution of Engineers Malaysia.
UCS is a non-profit private institution set up by donors.
UCS was the brainchild of former Sarawak United People’s Party president and
former deputy chief minister Tan Sri Dr Wong Soon Kai.
The college has 500 students and has produced more than 3,500 graduates by 2010
since its establishment in 1997.
