马来西亚：中六生生活津贴明年起发放，9万名学生每人总额2500令吉
马来西亚政府10月26日宣布，中六生将从明年第一学期起，分3个学期领取总额2500令吉的生活津贴，每期大约800令吉。教育部长法丽娜表示，等到所有中六生完成注册后，政府将开始发放津贴。这项措施预计惠及9万名中六生，津贴金额与大学预科班学生相同，希望减轻学生负担，并提升马来西亚高级教育文凭的素质。中六是马来西亚中学教育的最后阶段，学生完成中六课程并通过高级教育文凭考试后，可凭成绩申请进入本地大学或海外院校。对许多家庭而言，中六阶段的学习资料、交通、膳食等开支是一笔持续负担，生活津贴的发放有助于缓解经济压力，让学生更专注于学业。政府将津贴与大学预科班看齐，也体现出对不同升学路径学生的公平对待。需要注意的是，津贴的具体发放时间将取决于注册进度，学生和家长应留意教育部及学校后续公布的安排，及时完成注册手续，避免错过发放批次。与此同时，10月26日马来西亚其他民生消息还包括：政府医院门诊收费维持不变，普通门诊继续收费1令吉，包括心理科在内的专科门诊维持在5令吉，卫生部目前暂无调整收费的计划，公共医疗主要由税收支撑，低廉收费制度在政府继续支持现有政策的情况下将延续。
Malaysia: Living Allowance for Form Six Students to Be Paid from Next Year, 90,000 Students to Receive a Total of RM2,500 Each
The Malaysian government announced on October 26 that Form Six students will receive a living allowance totaling RM2,500 over three semesters starting from the first semester of next year, at about RM800 per semester. Minister of Education Fadhlina Sidek said the government will begin disbursing the allowance once all Form Six students have completed registration. The measure is expected to benefit 90,000 Form Six students, with the allowance amount on par with that for matriculation program students, in the hope of easing students' burdens and improving the quality of the Malaysian Higher School Certificate. Form Six is the final stage of secondary education in Malaysia; after completing the Form Six curriculum and passing the Higher School Certificate examination, students can apply to local universities or overseas institutions with their results. For many families, expenses during the Form Six stage - study materials, transport, meals and the like - are an ongoing burden, and the living allowance will help relieve financial pressure and let students focus more on their studies. Setting the allowance at the same level as for matriculation students also reflects fair treatment for students on different pathways to higher education. It should be noted that the specific disbursement timing will depend on registration progress; students and parents should watch for subsequent arrangements announced by the Ministry of Education and schools, and complete registration procedures in time to avoid missing a disbursement batch. Meanwhile, other livelihood news in Malaysia on October 26 included: government hospital outpatient fees remain unchanged, with general outpatient visits continuing to cost RM1 and specialist outpatient visits, including psychiatry, remaining at RM5; the Ministry of Health currently has no plans to adjust fees, and public healthcare is mainly supported by taxation, so the low-fee system will continue as long as the government continues to support the existing policy.
