year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MRSM Ranau campus, developed by PETRONAS at a cost of RM132 million, is the result of a collaboration with the Sabah State Government and MARA in powering knowledge by enhancing
access to quality education among Sabah students and stimulating interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

their educational journey at MRSM Ranau”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is indeed a historic occasion as this marks a new chapter in our commitment to support the aspirations of the Sabah State Government in developing the human capital potential of young
Sabahan talents,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that MRSM Ranau is different from other MRSMs due to its conducive environment, which is located near the foot of Mount Kinabalu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
