Fostering Collaboration
Held at Kuching ART Assembly Facility, the event witnessed MOU exchanges with esteemed academic institutions namely Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak and Sarawak Skills, as well as LOI presentations to selected vendors and subcontractors – fostering the spirit of collaboration essential to the success of KUTS Project.
