The maximum financing amount available through 'Education Financing' is SR100,000 ($26,660), which can be disbursed either in installments or as a lump sum, depending on the nature of the academic program. The entire financing process is managed electronically, ensuring the highest standards of governance and data integration.

Funds are disbursed directly to these institutions, ensuring that support reaches eligible students and contributes to improving the quality of educational services in line with Saudi Vision 2030. SDB has signed a strategic agreement with JeelPay — the first fintech company licensed by the Saudi Central Bank to provide education financing — to offer SR50 million in funding for students seeking to continue their academic journey. The agreement supports the 'Education Financing' product indirectly through a dedicated financing portfolio aimed at supporting students at the diploma, bachelor's, and master's levels using advanced financial technologies.

Anaphylaxis awareness can save lives, health officials say
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said Sunday that it has launched a national campaign to raise awareness about anaphylaxis in light of the global initiative World Allergy Week, which spotlights one critical allergy each year. 'Anaphylaxis is a sudden and severe allergic reaction that can be fatal without immediate intervention,' said KDCA Commissioner Jee Young-mi. 'With proper awareness and education, we can prevent many of these emergencies and protect lives.' Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur within minutes of exposure to allergens such as certain foods, medications or insect stings. According to the KDCA, anaphylaxis can cause a range of symptoms affecting multiple body systems within hours or even minutes of exposure to a trigger. These include swelling of the lips and mouth, difficulty breathing, hives, dizziness, vomiting and a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Common triggers include milk, eggs, peanuts, medications such as antibiotics and pain relievers, and insect venom. Less commonly, latex and even physical exercise can induce the condition. Major Symptoms of Anaphylaxis Common Triggers of Anaphylaxis In cases of suspected anaphylaxis, immediate action is essential. The KDCA advises removing the allergen, laying the person flat, calling emergency services (119 in South Korea) and administering epinephrine — a medication that opens airways and stabilizes blood pressure. Even if symptoms subside, the affected person should still be taken to the emergency room, as a delayed second reaction is possible. To strengthen public knowledge, the KDCA is working with local governments, as well as atopic dermatitis and asthma education centers. Outreach efforts include posters, videos, online quizzes and community booths. Some local centers will offer skin-prick tests and personalized allergy consultations. 'We hope this campaign will heighten public readiness to handle allergy-related emergencies,' Jee said. 'We will continue to collaborate with relevant organizations to promote systematic education and prevention nationwide.'

CIO opens investigation into hostess bar allegations against judge
The state anti-corruption agency said Tuesday it has opened an investigation into allegations that the presiding judge for former President Yoon Suk Yeol's insurrection trial was treated to multiple visits to an expensive hostess bar. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials said it assigned the case to Investigation Unit 3 upon receiving a complaint from several civic groups alleging bribery and anti-graft law violations by Judge Jee Kui-youn of the Seoul Central District Court. Jee has been accused by the liberal Democratic Party of visiting a hostess bar in Seoul's affluent district of Gangnam without paying the cost of 1 million won ($718) to 2 million won per person. The judge addressed the allegations for the first time Monday, saying during Yoon's trial that he has never considered being treated at such places and his typical meal consists of "samgyeopsal" and soju, a reference to the Korean pork belly and rice wine that symbolize the food of commoners. The DP immediately disclosed what it said were photos showing the similarities of a high-end hostess bar's interior and the surroundings in a picture where Jee posed with two other people. The party called for his removal from the bench. In March, Jee was the judge responsible for canceling Yoon's arrest over his martial law bid. The CIO's Investigation Unit 3 is also looking into allegations he abused his power in delivering that ruling. (Yonhap)

JessC, Fauziah Latiff unite in first duet Tak Terpisah at Dekati album launch
AT the launch of her new album Dekati, Australia-based rock princess JessC took centre stage with Malaysian pop diva Fauziah Latiff, known affectionately as Jee, for their debut duet performance of the emotionally powerful song Tak Terpisah (Never Separated). The event transcended cultural and ethnic boundaries, bringing a heartfelt message of unity, love and resilience through music — a performance that brought the crowd to its feet with thunderous applause and cheers. Even before its official release, the Dekati album has already gained traction. The music video for five songs has garnered over 6 million views on YouTube and is making waves in Indonesia, with numerous media outlets covering the story and conducting interviews. The event kicked off with a cinematic medley of JessC's music videos, including Demi Impian, Dekati, Satu Suara Raya, Expose, and the much-anticipated Tak Terpisah. Fans were visibly moved as scenes from the singer's musical journey played across the screen. But the true highlight of the evening was the live duet between JessC and Jee. Dressed in elegant white Malay traditional attire, JessC stood beside Jee, who donned a sleek ponytail and a commanding presence — the two looked as if they had stepped straight out of the album cover. Their harmonised voices delivered the poignant message of 'Tak terpisah walau berbeza' (never separated, even if we are different), touching hearts and uniting the audience in a moment of shared emotion. The performance concluded with fans presenting flowers and gifts, while Jee playfully turned the tables by pretending to be the event's photographer, adding a joyful twist to the heartfelt moment. 'Dekati is a song about having the courage to face life's challenges,' JessC shared onstage yesterday. She recalled her admiration for Jee dating back over a decade, especially after performing Jee's iconic song Dia. Collaborating with her idol on their first duet was the fulfillment of a long-held dream. 'JessC's beauty shines from within,' Jee said warmly. 'The first time I heard the demo of Tak Terpisah, I cried. The song has soul — it speaks of love, respect, togetherness and life. It's a song that resonates with everyone.' Jee also expressed how the song served as a reminder to appreciate love, friendship and family amid the hustle of daily life. JessC, ever grateful and lighthearted, revealed that Jee had recently wrapped filming the drama Sri Kandi, where she played a queen. During filming, Jee had a minor accident falling off a horse, which alarmed the crew, but she fortunately emerged unscathed. Looking ahead, JessC teased that two more duet projects with Jee are in the works, including an upbeat track titled Kawan Baik (Best Friends). When asked how she balances her busy schedule, Jee shared: 'Everyone's life is different. What matters most is knowing how to stand back up after a fall, and respecting life and one another.' JessC added: 'Don't fear failure. Don't let problems defeat you. Life is hard, but we must face it bravely and learn from every fall.' In a lighthearted exchange, JessC asked Jee: 'How would you rate my singing?' Jee laughed and responded: 'You've improved a lot — we've successfully blended our voices.' JessC also proudly showed off a handmade necklace crafted by Jee, symbolising their growing friendship and creative bond. The Tak Terpisah music video was shot in Malaysia, produced by an Australian team, and directed by an American filmmaker. Their collaboration traces back to a concert 10 years ago, where Jee appeared as a guest and the two artistes connected through music. Today, the Dekati album is not only captivating audiences in Malaysia but also sparking a wave of excitement across Indonesia. This cross-cultural success story stands as a testament to the power of friendship, mutual admiration and musical harmony between two talented women who dared to dream — and sing — together. Fans presenting flowers and gifts to Jee and JessC.
