Union says many undergraduates come from lower-income backgrounds who do not have stable financial resources.
PETALING JAYA: The students’ union of Universiti Malaya has urged the institution’s administration to “once and for all” drop its “zero balance” policy, which requires students to settle their fees in full to activate their status for course registration.
“While this policy may aim to collect students’ debt, the union believes it is oppressive and unjust and must be reversed immediately,” it said in a statement yesterday. “It is regrettable that this policy does not consider the students’ financial burden at all,” it said. It also said it is “highly unreasonable” to expect them to pay the full fees even before the new academic session begins, especially since many have not even received their scholarship allowance or PTPTN funds.
