- 5 years ago
MCA president Wee Ka Siong has cried foul over an 81.8 percent funding cut to MCA-owned Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (Taruc).
Citing the federal expenditure estimate for Budget 2020, Wee pointed out the Education Ministry's funding for Taruc will be RM1 million, down from RM5.5 million in 2019.
Wee said the Education Ministry is the ministry was given the biggest budget this year but yet there was less money to Taruc.
He accused Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, who tabled the budget in the Dewan Rakyat today, of lacking empathy for poor Chinese students.
