Student victims of mule accounts will be helped


PETALING JAYA: The Higher Education Ministry says it will help out students who have inadvertently become victims of mule accounts, but those who knowingly commit the offence will be handed over to the police.

Its Deputy Minister Datuk Mustapha Sakmud said some students were unaware that they were mule account holders, while those who did it willingly may be facing financial issues.
