REDUCTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN BUDGET 2016

In budget 2016, government stated that the provision of KPT had been decreased from RM 15.785 billion (5.8% of the total 2015 budget allocation) to RM 13.378 billion (5% of the overall budget allocation in 2016) which is decreased compared to last year. Many people especially people who study felt dissatisfied with that statement. It is because of GST implied and rising in cost of living, they think that government should increase the provision of KPT. Effect can be seen through students who are from poor family had to pay the expensive fees and expenses for their education. Therefore, I suggest that government need to give provision to help students who came from poor family.
