New GoFundMe tools will make it easier to circulate causes across online platforms in a push to cater toward younger generations.
MORE students from the lower- and middle-income groups will get to continue their studies at the tertiary level – thanks to the extra 50% of scholarships to be allotted by government-linked companies for deserving students.
“It is a good move. It encourages the GLCs to actively participate in corporate social responsibility efforts by giving more opportunities to students who would otherwise struggle to finance their education,” he said.The move to make government-linked investment companies and GLCs commit at least 50% of scholarships for deserving students was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during the tabling of the 2025 Budget at Parliament yesterday.
Undergraduate K. Amos Divyen, 25, meanwhile agreed with the fee hike for the T15 group, noting that the increment would benefit other students from lower-income groups. Meanwhile, housewife Looi Lee Phing, whose two sons are studying at public universities, said the fee hike would add to her household’s financial burden.“On paper, we are deemed as a T20 but after deducting all our expenses, we are not really left with much,” she said.“We are not entitled to anything but are expected to pay for everything,” she added.
