Higher education minister Khaled Nordin again defends UM’s zero balance policy, saying it affects less than 1,200 students.
Last month, UM said the zero balance policy would only affect students who did not update their sponsorship status, were in receipt of education aid, or genuinely required financial assistance.
“In 2021, UM students’ debt went up by RM10.21 million to RM37.34 million. This has surged to RM51.2 million as of June 2023. The minister added that this policy would only affect 1,181 students, or 3.97% of the total number of UM students. Khaled reiterated that sponsored students could register for their new semester but it was their responsibility to ensure their sponsors paid the fees on time.
