US to reject new international students seeking online only study

Jul 25, 2020

Malaysian students hoping to study in the US will NOT be able to do so, if the university's classes are ONLY held online. 

This as the US announced that it will NOT take in any new international students seeking online only study.

Earlier this month, it repealed a policy which forced foreign students to leave the country if their universities moved to online classes for the Fall semester. 

There is still no news on the proposal for longer school holidays in conjuntion with the Aidiladha celebration. 

The Education Ministry says it will announce any decisions if they need to amend the holiday. 

Earlier, several NGOs had called for a longer holiday, after the amendments made to the academic calendar saw the Aidiladha break shortened to just 2 days. 

Famous local Youtuber S. Pavithra wishes to focus on producing content for her Youtube channel and that she no longer wants the Ipoh City Icon Award. 

This is after her husband, M.Sugu was charged at the Ipoh Sessions Court yesterday for allegedly attacking her at a hospital, and for being in possession of a dangerous weapon within the hospital premises. 

He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
