KUCHING, Oct 27 — The Sarawak government today consented to establishing a chair at the Bintulu campus of Universiti Putra Malaysia named after former chief minister, the late Tan Sri Adenan Satem Chair.
“The effort of Bintulu UPM to focus on Sarawak ethnic studies as a niche area should be well-appreciated as we strive towards greater economic development,” he said at the launch of the chair held in conjunction with the Second International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities 2021. “The Malays are classified as Brunei Malay and Sarawak Malays while the Melanaus are subdivided into the Oya, Daro, Balangian, and so on.
He said many scholars, particularly those dealing with ethnicity in Sarawak and Borneo, must work towards the preservation of its indigenous culture. He added the university will also take the lead in ethnicity research in Sarawak, particularly on culture, language, human thinking, customs, art and traditional heritage.
