Mara Junior Science College (MRSM) Kota Kinabalu is now known as MRSM Tan Sri Musa Aman, in recognition of the services of the former Sabah chief minister, said Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said that Musa, as the Sabah chief minister, had contributed a lot to the state. In fact, Musa was one of the important individuals in the efforts to establish MRSM Kota Kinabalu 21 years ago.
In this regard, Zahid, who is also the rural and regional development minister, reminded the current generation to always remember and respect the efforts of previous generations in providing the comfort they presently enjoy.
“Although he (Musa) is no longer the chief minister, as his friend I must recognise him as the former chief minister.
“So, I would like to announce that MRSM Kota Kinabalu will now be known as MRSM Tan Sri Musa Aman.
He said this while speaking at a get-together at MRSM Tan Sri Musa Aman, which was also attended by Mara chairperson Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
Former Sabah chief minister Musa AmanMusa, who is also a former Sungai Sibuga assemblyperson, was Sabah’s 14th chief minister, who served between March 27, 2003, and May 11, 2018.
Meanwhile, in a press conference after the event, Zahid said that various measures had been planned to meet the high demand for admission to MRSM.
He added that recently, 90,000 admission applications were received, compared with the intake of only 9,200 students.
He also said that one of the measures was the establishment of three more MRSM institutions, which had been approved but had to be postponed for now due to certain constraints.
However, Zahid said the matter would be revisited in next year's national budget.
“We will request that the three more MRSM be built, so that later we will have a total of 58 MRSM (from the existing 55 MRSM nationwide) and to meet demand which exceeds supply,” he said.
