These and other enhancements to the programme were announced by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education and Chairman of the MLLPC, Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, at an engagement session with Malay performing arts groups today. The new changes will take effect from 2 January 2020.
