Kelantan's first MRSM Ulul Albab to be built in Tanah Merah before April next year
Mara chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki says the college will accommodate 750 students, with an open tender to be called in December.
TANAH MERAH – Construction of the MARA Junior Science College (MRSM) Ulul Albab Tanah Merah is expected to begin before April next year, Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said.
He said the application for the college had been pursued for a long time, with the allocation approved under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (RMK-9).
"The MRSM Ulul Albab was a cause that Umno Tanah Merah fought hard for.
"That aspiration is being realised to make it the first MRSM Ulul Albab in Kelantan, capable of accommodating 750 students," he told reporters after the Umno Tanah Merah division delegates meeting at Dataran Mahsari here today. (Quotes translated from Malay.)
Asyraf Wajdi said Mara's management would promptly finalise the relevant documents to be submitted to the Kelantan State Secretary's Office (SUK) and the Tanah Merah Land and District Office ahead of a meeting scheduled for next month.
"Once approved, we will call an open tender in December this year and construction work on the MRSM is expected to be carried out before April next year," he said.
With a capacity of 750 students, the college will be the first MRSM Ulul Albab in Kelantan.
