KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government is determined to resolve the financial woes that forced University College Sabah Foundation (UCSF) management to cut salaries by half for its over 140 academic staff since last September.

said the low student intake following the Covid-19 pandemic created financial constraints for the college under state-owned Yayasan Sabah, the state's largest timber concession holder.

“The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah government will nurse the Sabah Foundation back to financial health, which was messed up by the previous government, ” added Jeffrey. Jeffrey also said that steps are being taken to help affected UCSF staff who recently highlighted their plight. On Wednesday , Chief Minister Datuk Seri Haji Hajiji Noor vowed to resolve the issue as soon as possible.“The future is digital and as more and more conventional jobs are replaced by machines, the UCSF has the responsibility to prepare our younger generation to be future technopreneurs, ” he said.
