Building Bridges for TVET Excellence in Sabah: GMI Welcomes Yayasan Sabah and University College Sabah Foundation

Kajang, 14 July 2026 – A high-level delegation from Yayasan Sabah and University College Sabah Foundation (UCSF) paid a reciprocal visit to the German-Malaysian Institute (GMI) following GMI’s earlier engagement in Sabah. The delegation was jointly led by Tuan Haji Hanafiah Diman, Corporate Secretary of Yayasan Sabah, and YBhg. Datuk Dr. Rafiq Idris, Vice-Chancellor of UCSF.

Welcoming performance by GMI’s Borneo Club

The visit aimed to deepen mutual understanding and explore potential avenues for expanding Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) access for Sabahans. During the engagement, both parties delved into several key areas, including sponsorship opportunities, structured academic pathway programmes, GMI’s micro-credential and pre-skill offerings, and promotion initiatives for GMI’s programmes across Sabah to facilitate Sabah student enrolment at GMI.

Ts. Fahrul Rizal A. Halim, Deputy Managing Director (Academic & Operations), led the discussion session.

  • Additiv Zentrum (3D Printing Centre)
  • Mini Cinema & 2D Lab
  • Video Editing & Sound Recording Lab
  • Cyber Schlachtfeld (Cyber Battlefield Centre)
