KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit eased against the US dollar at the close today amid cautious sentiment ahead of the United States (US) presidential election next week, said an analyst.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government should establish a dedicated department for autism to improve facilities and increase the hiring of occupational therapists , says Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman .

With such a number of cases, she hoped the government would improve public awareness of autism, especially among parents. “I would like to propose that the Higher Education Ministry increase certificate courses at selected colleges to boost the number of occupational therapists in the country,” she added.

Budget 2025 also earmarked RM200mil to extend the Special Needs Student Allowance of RM150 per month, including for children with autism.
