KOTA KINABALU: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) President Datuk Chin Su Phin has called on the GRS-led Sabah Government to implement a 20 per cent quota for Chinese Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) students in the civil service and Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).

He said that while the State’s recognition of the UEC is welcomed, it must be followed by concrete policies to ensure fair access to public sector jobs and higher education for qualified Chinese students.

Chin stressed that many academically capable UEC graduates continue to face barriers due to the lack of a structured and transparent entry pathway.

He added that the underrepresentation of UEC students in public institutions pushes many to seek opportunities outside Sabah or even abroad.

Chin urged the State Government to take the lead in introducing inclusive policies, saying the proposed quota would help retain local talent and reflect Sabah’s multiracial identity.
