KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 — The Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) has instructed all public institutions of higher learning to grant registration flexibility for students affected by the floods in Sabah and Sarawak.
Its minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir said the universities will provide adequate assistance and leeway to ensure that no students are deprived of the opportunity to pursue their studies.
"To the prospective students and parents currently facing the challenges posed by the floods, particularly those who are due to enrol at public universities soon, please do not worry or be anxious.
"I urge those affected to contact their respective universities to inform them of their situation," he said in a Facebook post today.
Zambry also announced that the Malaysian University Student Volunteer Council and volunteer teams from the institutions will be mobilised to aid in post-flood recovery.
He extended his deepest sympathies to all disaster victims, expressing hope that they are granted the strength, patience, and fortitude to endure the current hardships.
"Thank you to all those who have stepped forward to help and contribute. Please take care and prioritise your safety. May the situation return to normal soon," Zambry said.
