BUKIT MERTAJAM (Aug 28): The Malaysian government has decided to allocate funds for an allowance for Form Six students under the upcoming Budget 2027, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced on Friday. The Finance Minister revealed the decision after considering that students at this level, unlike those from primary school to Form Five and university, currently receive no allowance.
Speaking at the Temu Anwar programme at the Tuanku Bainun Teacher Education Institute campus, Anwar stated that his intention is to provide an allocation and allowance for Form Six students in the October Budget. However, the specific amount has not yet been determined and will be contingent on the government’s financial capacity.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek, who attended the event, confirmed that the proposed allowance was one of 12 resolutions discussed at the Madani Pre-University Congress held in Klang earlier that day. Fadhlina mentioned that the Education Ministry has accepted all these resolutions and will study them for potential improvements, while also exploring ways to ensure their implementation.
