It is mandatory for them to gain industrial exposure before their convocation."Being foreign students, they are not given preference by companies. As such, the onus is on the government and authorities to facilitate them for temporary attachment, otherwise it defeats the purpose of attracting foreign students to our institution of higher learning," Wong said.In remarks to Daily Express, the Consul-General was proud that the students were disciplined, diligent and serious in their studies."I was told by the university officials that China students are doing well. I also appreciate what the campus is doing to help our students in language and adapting to life in Labuan," Chen said.
