MARA Loans Converted to Scholarships for 13 Orang Asli Students Studying Abroad

Bernama:
Thirteen Orang Asli students who are pursuing their studies abroad under Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) loans, received a grand 'Ang Pow' from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak when he announced that their loans would be turned into scholarship. [...]

As for quality education initiatives, Najib said he would like to see the number of Orang Asli students at public universities increase from the current 450 to 1,000 through the 'Mengubah Destini Orang Asli' programme.

The 'Mengubah Destini Orang Asli' programme is aimed at enriching the Orang Asli community by providing opportunities to continue their education at Higher Learning Institutions.
