242 pelajar tajaan Mara di Perancis selamat, kata Asyraf
Pengerusi Mara Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki mengingatkan pelajar supaya sentiasa berwaspada dan mengelakkan kawasan terjejas susulan gelombang protes di negara itu.
On Saturday, protests and riots erupted across several European countries, reaching their peak in major cities like Paris and Milan, Italy, according to Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, spokesperson for the Malaysian Private Education Institution (Mara) Scholarship Scheme. All 242 Malaysian students studying in France were reported to be safe in the aftermath of the unrest, he said in a Facebook post.
The spokesperson advised the students to always remain vigilant and avoid areas affected by the riots. "Alhamdulillah, status 242 pelajar tajaan Mara di Perancis selamat," the spokesperson conveyed. Protests were sparked by grievances over student welfare, deteriorating public services, and rising living costs. In France, the demonstrations caused some of the worst urban violence seen in years, with nearly 2,400 individuals arrested, around 1,000 police and security personnel injured, and seven requiring hospitalization.
