More Malaysians can now pursue their postgraduate studies in New Zealand, thanks to a significant increase in allocations under the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme.

Starting this year, the number of fully-funded postgraduate scholarships offered by New Zealand to Malaysians has increased from two to 39 per annum, said New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters.
