Khaled Nordin: Govt has no plans to abolish subsidised fees at public varsities

SINTOK, Aug 1 — The government has no plans to abolish fee subsidies for local students at public institutions of higher learning nationwide, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

“For example, if we look at a business degree, the actual cost for a four-year degree is RM70,000 to RM80,000, but at public universities, it is only RM2,000 to RM3,000. “Therefore, the government will maintain the subsidy for local students studying at IPTA,” he told reporters after his working visit to Universiti Utara Malaysia today.

He said a total of 10,000 students in public universities were exempted from paying admission fees this year, totalling RM30 million.
