The Umno Supreme Council member says it is of serious concern that the only state-owned university in Sabah can no longer afford to pay staff their salaries. FMTNews YayasanSabah
KOTA KINABALU: An Umno Supreme Council member has questioned how the Sabah government could allow its sole state-owned university to be mired in financial difficulties to the extent that it is forced to slash salaries and lay off hundreds of others.
“What happened to the state education and innovation ministry? Is the ministry oblivious to the plight of the university? The memo, by its vice-chancellor, Mohamed Haleem Mohamed Razi, stated all these were part of cost-cutting measures in the light of a plunge in intake for the April semester. To this, Rahman said the problem faced by UCSF was not new, adding that in 2018, the staff of UCSF under the Sabah Animation and Creative Content Centre had revealed to the press that they had not been receiving salaries from the university.
The Sedia chief executive was appointed by the federal government as the controlling officer under the Federal Financial Procedure Act , he added.
