Clock ticking for Malaysian students in UK
AS we know, many countries like Malaysia have tightened their borders due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This has made travel even in an emergency r near impossible. We have all read or heard about the pleas of parents and the public to the authorities to help bring back their loved ones from overseas during this lockdown period. I must congratulate the Foreign Affairs Ministry on its successful missions to bring our citizens homes, especially from India.
A message read “ Do you know of any Malaysians in the UK who are keen to go back at the end of May?”. When I enquired, I found out the following: 2. Those who attempted to renew their student visas beyond May were denied by the Home Office. They are expected to leave the UK before their visas expire 5. Some students and their families have attempted to contact the High Commission of Malaysia in London to assist them with the issue. They were informed that the High Commission had received 1,500 requests from students to return home within the next two months
