More transparency is still required on university intake figures for public universities, especially in addressing the discrepancy between STPM and matriculation students, said PKR MP Lee Chean Chung.

While he applauded Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s latest plans under Budget 2026 to add 1,500 university seats in public universities, the Petaling Jaya MP emphasised that the “real issue” was not just the number of university places, but the lack of transparency surrounding these figures.
