KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president G Palanivel today advised Indian students with excellent examination results to register with the Public Service Department (PSD) for scholarships to pursue tertiary education.
He said students who had yet to do so could obtain assistance at any MIC office.

“The MIC will help applicants who go through the party. We will discuss the matter with the PSD, especially in the case of students from poor families,” he told reporters after the launch of the Telegu Association of Malaysia by Deputy Information Communication and Culture Minister Maglin Dennis D’Cruz, here.

Palanivel also urged the Indian community to strengthen solidarity and appreciate the 1Malaysia concept.
On the party’s preparations to face the next general election, he said the MIC would field candidates who could work hard and were committed to helping the people.

At the event, 50 students were honoured for achieving excellent results in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) examinations.
