PETALING JAYA: Students in public and private local institutions of higher education, matriculation and Form Six can collect their RM200 book vouchers from Jan 3 next year.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the vouchers are valid for three months from Jan 1 to March 31, 2012.
“Students are not allowed to exchange the vouchers for cash,” he said in a statement.
Mohamed Khaled said eligible students must be Malaysians who are studying for a diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate degree, matriculation and Form Six.
“Students can collect the vouchers from their individual institutions or schools from Jan 3 next year,” he said.
The higher education institutions have prepared a list of eligible students together with their identity card numbers or matriculation or registration numbers, he said.
Students, he added, must ensure that their names, identity card numbers and the stamp of their institution are filled on each voucher.
“Students can redeem the book vouchers from all participating book shops,” he said.
