KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — Two foreign nationals have become the first individuals in Malaysia to be charged in court for littering under the newly enforced anti-littering law, according to a report by The Star.
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
