SIBU: The Electrical Association of Sarawak and Sabah ( EASS) will organise the electrical vocational skill ( Level 1) and solar power energy training course in collaboration with University College Technology of Sarawak ( UCTS).

Speaking at EASS’ 39th anniversary celebration dinner and graduation ceremony cum New Year dinner last Friday, he said 30 of the 33 candidates passed with flying colours.

On solar power energy for generating electricity, Hii said this was a new facility that is gaining momentum, especially in remote areas which needed skilled electricians.
