KOTA KINABALU: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) has allowed the deferment of registration fee payment for Crisnanalina Jumis, who is facing financial challenges in pursuing her higher education.

The 20-year-old from Kampung Dalamas, located in Sabah’s poverty-stricken Pitas region, has received an offer to study at UMS but fears she may have to forgo her dream due to her family’s inability to pay the RM3,000 registration fee.
