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.

It is an undeniable fact that we are currently going through an unprecedented tough time of an excruciating pandemic, political chaos, and a freezing economy, he said.
He reiterated that in this extraordinary and challenging time, politicians from both sides of the divide should put aside politics and unite to lead the people to fight the pandemic and for a rapid economic recovery.

Kota Kinabalu: Women leaders have urged the Sabah Government to appoint a woman to replace Kota Kinabalu Mayor Datuk Nordin Siman, whose term ends this month.
If the call is heeded, the Sabah capital will make history because all its previous mayors have been men.
Nordin’s two-year term will end on Dec 31 and he is leaving it to the state administration to decide whether to extend his tenure.

“It’s not my say,” he told FMT.
But several women leaders are asking the State Government to break tradition by recognising that there is no lack of women capable of leading the city.
