LONDON, June 23 — Mayors from 40 cities, including London, Phoenix and Melbourne, have agreed to collaborate on curbing the rising strain that rapid expansion of data centres is placing on electricity grids, water supplies and local communities, according to city leaders.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 — All students who scored 10As and above in last year’s Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and applied for the Matriculation Programme will be guaranteed placement, regardless of race or background.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said the decision was approved during the Cabinet Ministers’ Meeting held yesterday.
“This includes students who achieved 10As, including A- grades. The policy aligns with what was previously announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” the ministry said in a statement today.
The move aims to ensure that all top-performing candidates from the 2024 SPM examination are given the opportunity to pursue higher education.
The MOE also clarified that the existing Bumiputera quota for the Matriculation Programme will remain unchanged.
“The MADANI Government is committed to expanding access to education for the benefit of students, who represent the nation’s future,” the statement added. — Bernama
