Chinese students may turn to M'sia
Making the right choice: (From left) Li, Pei and Lou at the USM campus. — LIM BENG TATT/The Star GEORGE TOWN: President Donald Trump's order to tighten visa rules in the United States for students from China may benefit universities in Malaysia. Pei Qi, a 42-year-old English teacher from China who is pursuing a postgraduate degree at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), said he has noticed more of his students in China considering Malaysia over the US. 'Many of my students who initially planned to go to the US are now considering Malaysia for further studies. 'One of them gave up on her US application because of visa delays and uncertainty, and then applied to Monash University Malaysia and USM,' he said. Pei said that the student and her mother visited Penang and were drawn to the island's safety, lifestyle and international feel. 'They were worried about whether they could get into a public university here, but the affordability and global rankings of Malaysian institutions have prompted them to apply,' he said, adding that Malaysia's strong ties with China is an important factor. 'Malaysia takes education seriously. I see effort going into improving curriculum, research and global rankings,' Pei added. He recalled seeing China's content creators on Douyin (China's version of TikTok) mentioning that Malaysia has become the seventh most popular study abroad destination for students from China. Pei said the United States' new policy against students from China had affected the global standing of the US. 'I see real, long-term damage to America's reputation as the world's leader,' he said. 'The global landscape has changed. The US is no longer the only option for high-quality, English-medium education. 'It's sad to lose access to the US, but it's not the end of the road.' First-year Bachelor of Arts in English student Lou Xiaoxiao, 20, said studying in the US is still a dream for many from her homeland. 'It's still the top choice for a lot of us because of its academic resources and reputation. 'At the moment, I can say Malaysia is more of an option,' she said. Lou added that visa issues and parents' concerns about global tensions do play a role and more families are looking at safety and cost when making decisions. She feels that China's families are prioritising "cost-effectiveness" and "a sense of security" in their decision-making regarding their children's studies overseas. Another student, Li Hehe, 25, said despite the visa crackdown, he felt most Chinese families still hope to send their children to the US, believing strongly in the value of an American education. 'I've worked in the study abroad consultancy field. Students and parents who choose the US believe in it deeply. 'Even though the US might be the most expensive option, the choice of the US often reflects a serious commitment,' said Li, who is in his final year of a Bachelor's degree in urban and regional planning at USM. On May 28, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that some Chinese students would have their visas revoked, especially those studying in sensitive fields or linked to the Chinese Communist Party. China is the second-largest source of international students in the US after India. More than 270,000 students from China enrolled in American institutions in the 2023–2024 academic year, about a quarter of all international students there. USM lecturer Dr Kamaruzzaman Abdul Manan, from the School of Communication, said Malaysian universities should seize the opportunity. "China sends more students abroad than any other country. Even a 10% to 15% drop in those heading to the US means thousands will look for other destinations,' he said. He added that Malaysia's strong education system and position in Asean made it an ideal choice for students from China. 'Having more students from China can raise a university's profile, attract funding and increase global partnerships,' he said.

Saudi Arabia's 'No Haj Without a Permit' ensures a seamless pilgrimage
MINA, Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia is reinforcing its commitment to a safe and organised haj through its annual regulatory campaign, 'No Haj Without a Permit'. The initiative remains a cornerstone of the Kingdom's vision for a seamless pilgrimage. Aimed at both domestic and international pilgrims, the campaign highlights Saudi leadership's dedication to ensuring safety, comfort, and order, while preventing disruptions that have historically affected haj. According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), 'No Haj Without a Permit' tackles key challenges such as unauthorised pilgrims, road congestion, and fraudulent haj campaigns that leave pilgrims vulnerable to harsh conditions. For haj 1446 AH, the Kingdom emphasises that a successful pilgrimage is a collective national, security, and organisational responsibility. Measures include proactive awareness messaging, heightened security checkpoints at Makkah's entry points, advanced monitoring technologies, and strict penalties for violations. This year's Arafah Day showcased the campaign's effectiveness, SPA reported. Pilgrims adhered to instructions, arriving at designated camps on time, leading to unprecedented traffic flow and clear roads around Arafat and Namirah Mosque. A sense of tranquillity prevailed as pilgrims performed essential rituals, supported by comprehensive government services. Authorised pilgrims received designated spaces within holy sites, ensuring access to housing, catering, healthcare, and modern transportation. Smart applications further enhanced awareness efforts. Coordinated efforts ensured efficient pilgrim movement via buses and trains. The Nusuk Card and technical supervision systems played a crucial role in regulating pilgrim compliance. Heightened awareness campaigns and cross-sector coordination reinforced adherence to guidelines. The Interior Ministry's Makkah Route Initiative, now in its seventh year across 11 international airports, continues to streamline arrivals, having facilitated over one million pilgrims since 2017. This year's haj achievements align with Saudi Vision 2030's goal of enhancing haj and Umrah services, delivering a safe and seamless experience for all pilgrims.– BERNAMA
