Please allow students to go home


THE university in Kuching where my daughter is studying has just announced that the start of the new semester will be postponed to June 2020.

I sincerely hope the Higher Education Ministry will allow students, especially those who study in east Malaysia and live in the peninsula and vice versa whose new semesters have been postponed due to the movement control order (MCO), to go home to their families.
