PETALING JAYA: The group which petitioned the government to sponsor their overseas studies are happy that the government has stepped in, but called for adjustments in the way foreign universities were considered for scholarship awards.

A-Level student Edmund Kong, who started the petition, said the Public Service Department (PSD) should give out the sponsorships based on the university’s subject rankings and not general rankings.
