The concern of an Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) student from Sabah about the possibility that she may not get a scholarship because his mother has not yet obtained permanent resident status (PR) has caught the attention of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
This was voiced by Stephanie Juditha Sebastian during a dialogue session with the Prime Minister during the Putrajaya Idea Festival (Putrajaya FOI) at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre, here today.
Stephanie said despite being born and raised in the state, her mother has yet to obtain Malaysian citizenship and despite various efforts since 1990, it has not yielded any results.
