August 15, 2015 | National NewsPUTRAJAYA: Public Service Depart?ment scholars will not be burdened by the weakening ringgit, says Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.
He said the students were not affected because their government scholarships were in US dollars. It is now RM4.03 to US$1.
