CYBERJAYA, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- The government is ready to consider a one-off additional RM100 aid for university students to help them cope with the rising cost of living, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Finance Minister said the matter will be given due consideration in Budget 2026, which will be tabled in October.
He was responding to a proposal made by a student representative from Multimedia University (MMU) during the Temu Anwar programme here today.
According to Anwar, the government had previously approved RM100 cash aid for every Malaysian aged 18 and above.
“I welcome the proposal by the student president and I will give it due consideration for the October budget,” he said.
