Higher Education, Lower MYR

The ringgit has weakened some 25% in the past one year, and the speed at which the local currency had devalued, has left many breathless. Among those affected are students intending to study overseas, those who are already abroad and those who are funding them. We explore how the overseas education is still very much sought after - not so much for the paper qualifications, but for the overall experience.

This is a report by Keith Kam with contributions from Aziff Azuddin and Heng Wei Ann
