Sleepless over safety of returning students


AMID the global pandemic, a huge number of sponsored Malaysian students abroad, especially medical and dental students, came back to Malaysia. They are now required to return to their respective universities to continue their studies. Unfortunately, the countries involved have among the highest number of Covid-19 cases globally, such as the United Kingdom and Indonesia.

Being a concerned parent, I can’t help but wonder if there are or would be any contingency plans by the government to help these students so that they need not go back for now.
