The recent budget includes a significant COLA increase for overseas students sponsored by the JPA. While this is good news for those who are on the receiving end, it cannot be good for Malaysia in the long term. The increase is selective and does not cover all JPA sponsored students. Those whose COLA are not increased would cry foul.
There are already voices of discontent among students in Ireland and Egypt. As expected, they too want their allowance to be increased. Even the students are now being trained to demand more taxpayers money for their wallets.

I don’t see anything wrong with the students demanding more taxpayers money for their wallets IF they decide to come back and serve the taxpayers, i.e. work in Malaysia.
It’s wrong to skin taxpayers money ok . I’ve seen some of them spent money like it’s coming from a pipe. Yes the money is given to them but no necessarily they can spent according to their whims and fancies.
