00:00 Today we also witnessed some students who received donations through the SLU program.
00:09 As stated, the government is very committed to ensuring that the people in our country
00:19 get and have access to education.
00:24 One way is to ensure that no one is left out.
00:29 The government is also providing the first aid.
00:35 The URAN-URAN program at the SLU is subsidized by the government.
00:45 The government has no problem in drawing URAN subsidies.
00:51 For example, the economic education program.
01:01 The actual cost for 4 years is around RM70,000-RM80,000.
01:08 But at the public universities, it is only RM2,000-RM3,000.
01:12 At the ITM, all programs are only RM200 per semester.
01:18 2 semesters, RM400 per year.
01:22 But the actual cost is RM1,000.
01:26 The government will continue to provide the subsidized URAN subsidies to students
01:34 in the places that are required by the public universities.
01:37 Second, to ensure that no one gives excuses for not being able to study.
01:46 The government is providing loans.
01:49 Every year, we provide RM3.5 billion through the PTTN to pay the costs of a student.
02:05 Not only to pay URAN, but also for their livelihood.
02:09 Especially for B40 and M40 students.
02:13 Third, our new program is called SULUK.
02:17 We are asking the first children from B40 families to go to a successful university
02:30 and we will exclude them from paying URAN.
02:34 For the University of North Malaysia, for this year, there are 388 students who do not need to pay URAN.
02:44 They can pay PTTN only for their livelihood.
02:48 I have also urged the universities to look at and promote the PUAKA subsidies.
02:55 We can increase the amount of PUAKA subsidies in each university.
03:02 In total, there are 10,000 students who receive URAN subsidies from the public universities.
03:12 All of this amount to RM30 million for this year.
