The Malaysian government has announced an increase in the FlySiswa Madani subsidy rate for 2027, raising it from RM400 to RM500 per person. Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim revealed this during the presentation of the 2027 Budget in the Dewan Rakyat today. This decision aims to further support public university students (IPTA), particularly those needing air travel between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.

The subsidy will be extended to over 60,000 IPTA students, providing significant financial relief to them and their families for the cost of traveling to their hometowns during semester breaks.
