UM student union demanding reduction in varsity fees due to MCO


PETALING JAYA: The Universiti Malaya (UM) student union is adamant that a portion of the fees that have been paid to the university be returned to students, citing under-utilisation of facilities due to the movement control order (MCO) as the main reason.

Its secretary (special duties) Hafizan Azimi said the union had handed over a petition to UM vice-chancellor Datuk Dr Abdul Rahim Hashim on the issue on Wednesday (June 17).
