Study, career opportunities await at Perak Madani fair
KUALA LUMPUR: The Perak Madani Rakyat Programme 2025, which kicks off tomorrow, focuses on SPM leavers and students.
The three-day event is set to take place at the Lumut Waterfront until Sunday.
The Higher Education Ministry's Management Services Division undersecretary Faizal Said said the event aims to provide youth with information, assistance and access to higher education.
'We are bringing together various agencies under the ministry to offer details on scholarships, PTPTN loans, TVET programmes, MQA accreditation, artificial intelligence and more – all under one roof – to make it easier for youth to obtain guidance and submit applications,' he said in an interview on Bernama Radio.
Faizal said the event would also involve other ministries, government-linked companies, non-governmental organisations and private sector players.
'Over 200 services will be offered directly by federal and state government agencies, with 36 booths in operation to facilitate public engagement and transactions,' he said.
Highlights include Madani Sales offering 10% to 30% discounts on essential goods, a security assets exhibition and four satellite programmes.
Faizal added that more than 1,000 job vacancies from 10 companies would be open to job seekers during the event.
'We invite all to seize this opportunity. The exhibition will be open from 9am to 10pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 9am to 6pm on Sunday,' he said.
