JPA scholars laud deferral


Farid: The deferment is about enriching our skill set and expanding our global perspective.

PETALING JAYA: Students studying overseas on Public Service Department (JPA) scholarships welcome the government’s move to allow them to defer their return to Malaysia by up to three years.

They say the deferment allows them to pursue enriching employment experiences and skills abroad, which will be put to good use when they return to contribute to the country.
