April 29, The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) announced that IPT students in their campuses from all over Malaysia except Sarawak will be allowed to travel interstate back to their hometowns to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday and return to campus on designated dates next month.
“The dates fixed for movement to return to their respective homes are on May 7 to May 12, 2021, while the movement of students returning to campus are on May 15 to May 20, 2021,” the ministry said.
To ensure that the movement of such IPT students are controlled, the ministry said it has decided on several control mechanisms where the movement of students at each IPT would be carried out in phases.
“The dates fixed for movement to return to their respective homes are on May 7 to May 12, 2021, while the movement of students returning to campus are on May 15 to May 20, 2021,” the ministry said.
The ministry said the respective IPTs would prepare letters of approval for travels across states or districts and also coordinate the dates for the trips home and back to campus for each student.
The ministry said the students would be allowed to use only three modes of travel, namely their own vehicles, being picked up by their parents or guardians, or using buses coordinated by the IPT.
Traveling via public transport is not allowed except for airline travel. 103,994 out of 1.3 million students will be estimated to travel back to their hometowns.
It added that students with further questions can contact the coordinating officer at their respective IPTs or MOHE at the numbers 03-8870 6777/6949/6623/6628.
