RM9m to upgrade facilities

The Higher Education Ministry has set aside a special allocation of RM9 million to upgrade facilities to teach medicine in public universities.
Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow said the money would be used for new equipment and increase teaching staff.
"The allocation will be used this year," he said after presenting advance diploma certificates to graduates at the Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman convocation ceremony, here today.
He said the ministry was also planning to add 1,400 new places in medical courses in universities in the next five years.
"We always increase the intake by four per cent every year."
