The prime minister says poor students who cannot afford to keep up with rising costs are forced to go into debt.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hinted that the Malaysian government will allocate a special sum for youths in the 2027 budget, to be announced on October 9. As the country's finance minister, Anwar acknowledged the concerns and demands of the younger generation, particularly regarding education expenses and supporting students from low-income families.
