THURSDAY, 01 MAY – The existence of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) has a big impact since its inception 20 years ago, in the development of education in Sabah.

Various research activities were conducted to help the government in solving problems facing society in the country particularly in Sabah.

Recently, UMS through its Energy Research Unit (ERU) had organised a Colloquium on Conventional, New and Renewable Energy Technology (CNRET) 2014 to discuss problems on resource requests which were increasing.

According to UMS Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd Harun Abdullah; Sabah was facing a shortage on energy supply, as such renewable energy could play an important role in addressing the problem.

His speech was read by Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International), Prof. Dr. Shariff Abdul Kadir Omang Al-Haj.
