NST : KUALA LUMPUR: Local public and private higher-learning institutions have joined the humanitarian initiative to aid Palestinians, where they will bring in more students affected by the war in Gaza to continue their studies here.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said aside from providing financial assistance, focus on the urgent restoration of education for Palestinians was also needed.
"Apart from discussing (the fate of) the Palestinians amidst the ongoing killings there, initiatives to rebuild Gaza, particularly in terms of education, must be undertaken.
"This is a very fundamental issue and the ministry will open more opportunities, not to just bring them to Malaysia for medical treatment, but also to provide educational opportunities." This is Malaysia's commitment and we will continue these efforts."
Zambry said this in a roundtable discussion themed "From Destruction to Reconstruction: Empowering Gaza's Education" at Universiti Malaya (UM) today (Tuesday). Present were International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies. Malaysian universities to bring in more Palestinian students.
Government had approved a total funding of US$3.87 million to cover tuition fees and provide monthly financial assistance to Palestinian students in Malaysia for a year. PM Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had assured that in addition, the Malaysian government will cover other university-related fees amounting to US$1.13 million.
Veteran 1972 : Looks like Palestinians are more important than Dayaks, Kadazan, Dusun, Orang Asli, Chinese, Indians and many other Non Muslim Malaysians plus the fact that Veterans who left the service before 2013 whose pensions have yet to be streamlined the ones maimed and killed fighting the Communist Insurgency.
Read it all at the NST.......They count NOT, twice the courts ruled in their favor yet this Palestinian Madani Government appealed, most of these veteran are on the last legs of their lives, yet Madani is more compassionate about the plight of foreigners who contributed shit!
