Support for Outstanding Student’s Family

The Kelantan Department of Social Welfare (JKM) has approved a monthly assistance of RM950 for a year to the poor family of an outstanding student, Nur Nasuha Mohd Nusi, 12.

Assistance Under Child and General Care Scheme

Bachok district JKM officer Zulfikri Abd Wahab announced that the monthly assistance of RM950 will be provided under the Child Assistance scheme, which amounts to RM700 per month, and General Assistance of RM250 per month, starting next month until October 2025.

Family’s Financial Challenges

The family’s financial problems were found to be due to Nur Nasuha’s father being unable to work due to chronic gastric disease, according to JKM’s investigation. As a result, the family was recommended for the Aid Scheme, and an immediate aid fund of RM300 was handed over on October 14.

Public Support for Nur Nasuha

The news about Nur Nasuha’s predicament, who failed to sit the Mara Science Junior High School Admission Test (UKK MRSM) and the International General Certification of Secondary Education (IGCSE) special test to Form One due to poverty, had attracted the attention of various parties who came forward to help her. Nur Nasuha’s father, Mohd Nusi, expressed his gratitude to everyone who helped his daughter sit the exam.

Chain of Events

The matter began to unfold when the media reported that Nur Nasuha missed the UKK MRSM and IGCSE examinations for Form One 2025 at MRSM Kuala Krai, which was scheduled for October 8, due to not having money and transport. The issue also received the attention of Majlis Amanah Rakyat chairman, Datuk Dr. Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, who instructed Kuala Krai MRSM to arrange Nur Nasuha’s transport to sit for the MRSM UKK exam.

Conclusion

The case of Nur Nasuha’s family highlights the challenges faced by many families in Malaysia, particularly those with limited resources. The support provided by JKM and other organizations serves as a reminder of the importance of community care and the need to help those in need.
