  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that Budget 2027 will include an allowance for Form Six students. This move came after feedback from pre-university students who noted the lack of government allowance for those in Form Six. The government has decided to implement this allowance in its October budget. However, the prime minister did not disclose the specific amount or eligibility criteria for the allowance.
