MOHE denies disability discrimination; screenshot reads otherwise

The Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) has denied rejecting a student’s application to pursue tertiary education because of her disability.

Instead, they claimed the application by "Karishma" (not her real name) to enter Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Asasi Pintar Pre-University Programme (APP) was denied because her results did not meet the minimum requirement.

This in contrast to a response from the UPU Online system telling her that she could not be admitted into the programme because the university did not have the facilities to accommodate her disability.
