200 (10%) for Sabah and Sarawak bumiputra students
400 (20%) for excellent students
1200 (60%) for bumiputra and non-bumiputra students nationwide (does he mean nationwide excludes Sabah and Sarawak?)
200 (10%) for disabled students
“Presently, there are many more rural schools in Sabah and Sarawak which do not have the necessary facilities and this affects the students’ academic performance.
“That is why the federal government gives special attention to Sabah and Sarawak bumiputra students, where each state will be allocated 100 PSD scholarships,” he told reporters at the excellent award presentation to bright students at SM Shan Tao here.
