where is Kolej Teknologi Lanjutan Sarawak?
Kuching, ICATS/ PPKS, (Kolej Antarabangsa Teknologi Lanjutan Sarawak/ Sarawak Skills Development Centre), Jalan Canna, Off Jalan Wan Alwi, Tabuan Jaya.
It's not far from Lodge School. From the Free Trade Zone, heading to Kuching, it's on the left. If you continue straight you'll see the new Lodge School building.
