Fadhlina says RM2,500 allowance for Form Six students to begin in first semester next year

Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek announced that starting from the first semester next year, Form Six students will receive RM2,500 in living allowances, as stipulated in Budget 2027.

The allowance will be disbursed in stages across three semesters, with about RM800 allocated per semester, following completion of the students' registration.

This initiative, aligning with the Prime Minister's announcement in Dewan Rakyat and recommendations from the Madani Pre-University Congress, aims to equate Form Six allowances with those of matriculation students and support 90,000 students nationwide.

NIBONG TEBAL, Oct 25 — Form Six students will receive RM2,500 in living allowances starting from the first semester next year, said Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek.

She said the allowances, announced under Budget 2027, would be disbursed after the registration process for all Form Six students had been completed.

“Once the registration process for all Form Six students is completed, we will disburse the assistance in their first semester,” she told reporters after officiating at the Nibong Tebal parliamentary constituency-level ‘Jelajah Negaraku: Aku Kasih Malaysia’ programme here today.

She said the allowance would be distributed in stages over the three semesters of study, with approximately RM800 allocated for each semester.

Fadhlina said the initiative demonstrated the government’s commitment to supporting the needs of Form Six students, particularly in their studies, while also improving the quality of Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM).

Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, when tabling Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat on Oct 9, announced that the government had agreed to provide Form Six students with RM2,500 in living allowances.

The amount is equivalent to the allowance received by matriculation students and is expected to benefit 90,000 Form Six students nationwide.

The provision of the allowance was one of 12 resolutions raised at the Madani Pre-University Congress held in Klang, Selangor, last August. — Bernama

教育部长拿督斯里法德琳娜·西迪克宣布，从明年第一学期开始，中六学生将获得2500令吉的生活津贴，这是2027年财政预算案中规定的。

津贴将在三个学期内分阶段发放，每个学期约800令吉，在学生完成注册后发放。

这项举措与首相在下议院的宣布以及马达尼大学预科大会的建议相一致，旨在使六年级学生的津贴与大学预科学生的津贴持平，并为全国 9 万名学生提供支持。

尼邦特巴尔，10月25日讯——教育部长拿督斯里法德琳娜·西迪克表示，从明年第一学期开始，六年级学生将获得2500令吉的生活津贴。

她表示，根据 2027 年预算案宣布的这些津贴，将在所有中六学生的注册程序完成后发放。

“一旦所有六年级学生的注册程序完成，我们将在他们的第一学期发放资助，”她在今天于此地主持尼邦特巴尔国会选区级“Jelajah Negaraku: Aku Kasih Malaysia”活动后告诉记者。

她说，这笔津贴将在三个学期内分阶段发放，每个学期大约分配800令吉。

Fadhlina表示，这项举措表明政府致力于支持六年级学生的需求，尤其是在他们的学习方面，同时也提高了马来西亚高级教育文凭（STPM）的质量。

首相兼财政部长拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣于10月9日在下议院提交2027年财政预算案时宣布，政府已同意向六年级学生提供2500令吉的生活津贴。

该金额相当于大学预科学生获得的津贴，预计将惠及全国 9 万名六年级学生。

这项津贴的发放是去年8月在雪兰莪州巴生举行的马达尼大学预科大会上提出的12项决议之一。——马新社
