When MOHE released the last minute notice on October 2nd that all face-to-face registration for universities are postponed, anger erupted among netizens as majority of students were left stranded at campus.
But all hope is not lost. Over the past three days, Malaysians have all banded together to help students in these trying times. Check out how the whole country has stepped up to take care of our varsity students:
Free accommodation was offered aplenty by kind Malaysians, including Farhan, whose Twitter handle is @FarhanAmran. On his viral tweet made last Friday, Farhan called for any students stranded in Kuala Lumpur to contact him. Farhan and a few other Malaysians began to offer temporary and free accommodations in light of the situation.
OYO Malaysia is also offering free rooms to students who may be stranded in the Klang Valley. These rooms are available in Shah Alam and Bangi, for a maximum of 5 days.
On October 3rd, celebrity preacher and philanthropist Ustaz Ebit Lew hired 20 buses to send students stranded in their respective higher learning institutions back home, although he also has posted a public apology when UPSI rebuked his offer, claiming that the institution did not receive any prior notice of his initiative. Regardless, Ustaz Ebit Lew's offer was lauded by the public.
Meanwhile, university students who bought flight tickets with Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia for their now-postponed university intake are welcomed to apply to reschedule the flights for free. This announcement was made by the Higher Education Ministry and its Higher Education Department.
The Selangor state government also offered transport for Selangor residents to return home from campuses outside the state.
Other help includes Kindness Malaysia’s “Jom Balik Kampung” initiative for students in IPT campuses in the northern states.
Former Minister of Education, Dr Maszlee Malik took to social media to announce a collection drive to support students. As of today, almost RM18,000 have been distributed to 172 students!
Of course, former Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman’s new political party Muda and Pertubuhan Solidaritas collected around RM51,000 to help the affected students via the #TolongBantuMahasiswa campaign. Syed Saddiq was one of the first to amplify the students voices through the trending hashtags #TolongBantuMahasiswa, #RakyatJagaRakyat and #SiswaJagaSiswa.
And not to be taken lightly, the stress of the whole situation further highlights the importance of looking out for students’ mental health. As such, an account with the Twitter handle @shakieraaliea encouraged troubled students to contact Befrienders if they are in need of help.
Malaysians truly are a kind nation!
