TAR UC deprived of grants for first time in 50 years


KUALA LUMPUR: Lim Guan Eng has taken away government matching grants for Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) for the first time in its 50 years of existence, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

While the Finance Minister might have made history among his eight predecessors, including Tun Dr Mahathir Moha­mad and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Dr Wee said Lim, by doing so, had cast a gloom on affordable higher education for the lower income group.
