This post comes very late not only because Merdeka was almost two weeks ago, but also because the scholarship application date, i.e. the 30th of August, has already ended. In any case, better to spotlight it now just in case the Association of Banks Malaysia (ABM) decides to renew this programme (or a similar version [...]

Those who have suffered before always find ways to prevent others from undergoing the same fate. But more often than not, we think only about our offspring.
