Malaysian students face rupee woes


MALACCA: Thousands of Malaysian students in India are in limbo following the Indian government’s decision to scrap its 500 and 1,000 rupee currency notes.

The notes are no longer legal tender but huge crowds at Indian banks – many located far from their universities – make it close to impossible for the students to change their outdated notes, said Malacca Action Group for Parents in Education (Magpie) chairman Mak Chee Kin (pic).
