I support the proposal by Hon. Ichung’wah. As stipulated currently, offering degrees, diplomas and certificates has been a problem because there is no proper legislation or regulation. This one is very clear. Currently, we have a number of students in various universities and colleges who are undertaking certificate, diploma and degree courses. If this Bill is not brought to fruition, those students will not have a future. This Bill is supposed to protect them and ensure that universities give training that is recognised by all."}
