The Higher Education Ministry has reminded public and private higher education institutions to always comply with the standard operating procedures (SOP) set by their respective universities as an ongoing measure to strengthen the safety and welfare aspects of students.

The ministry said compliance is crucial to ensure that the security and welfare of students are always at the optimum level.

“This compliance is also important to ensure comprehensive protection for students under the responsibility of the university,” it said in a statement today.

It added that the ministry remains committed to working closely with all stakeholders to ensure every institution maintains a safe, conducive and responsible environment for the well-being of students.

Referring to media reports about a female university student who was believed to have been murdered in a condominium (above) in Cyberjaya on Tuesday (June 24), the ministry said it is awaiting the full report on the investigation being conducted by the relevant authorities.
