They had informed Jasri of the visit, and he was expecting nothing more than a routine interview for new students. He was among 178 UMS students from low-income families who had been selected to receive welfare assistance from the varsity. On Nov 16, all 178 students received RM556.18 each during a welfare presentation ceremony held at the UMS Chancellori Hall, here. Sabah Yang di-Pertua Tun Juhar Mahiruddin’s wife Toh Puan Noridah RM Jasni presented the financial aid to the students. It had been a long and ardous journey to university for many of the 178 students.
