Kuala Lumpur: The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia (Huazong) reiterated its call for both public and private higher-learning institutions to downward revise its tuition fees.
Its President Tan Sri TC Goh said this is necessary so as to alleviate the financial burden of the parents during the Covid-19 induced financial stress and to ensure the students complete their higher education during this challenging time.
He also hoped that the government would extend the 15 per cent discount for hostel, administrative and activity fees for students at public higher learning institutions for the second semester of their 2019/2020 academic session, which was announced by Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad, previously.

Kota Kinabalu: The State Government is focused on finding effective and efficient ways to improve the people’s economy already hurt by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We need to resuscitate the local economy. Too many people have lost their jobs, or their wages are cut in half.
“One of the ways to replace these lost jobs is by expanding existing economies such as supporting the swiftlet bird’s nest industry,” said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan
