PETALING JAYA: Research activities can continue on campus during the full lockdown but under strict standard operating procedure and with special permission granted by department heads. The Higher Education Ministry said these activities should only be done if absolutely necessary and on a solo basis. It said students living off-campus and engaged in research activities requiring laboratory facilities and special equipment need to obtain a letter of permission to enter and exit the campus from their respective higher education institution (HEI). The ministry also said all teaching and learning (PdP) activities would be done online for all students, whether on or off-campus.
