Jamawi, who is also Chairman of the Sabah Urban Development Corporation (SUDC), said he had no problem cooperating with the Prisons Department.
He also gave suggestions on the potential of suitable crops to focus on the skills training of Final Prisoners and Trainees of the Henry Gurney School (SHG) so that they can be independent when they are released.
“Hopefully when this collaboration is implemented it will provide benefits to all, especially ex-prisoners and trainees,” he said.
Jamawi added that he would help the agricultural course at SHG Keningau.
