JOHOR BAHRU, 30 Sept (Bernama) -- Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has introduced the “Menu Siswa Rahmah” initiative starting Oct 6, aimed at supporting its 9,000 B40 students and helping to ease the cost of living.
UTM vice-chancellor Prof Dr Mohd Shafry Mohd Rahim said a total of 14 campus cafes are offering balanced meals priced at RM5, thus reducing students’ daily expenses and providing direct benefits to those eligible.
He said the initiative is implemented through the UTM Smart application, where students simply scan a QR code to access the special menu.
“To support this programme, we have allocated RM90,000 specifically for rice purchases over the first six months, and we are also planning various fundraising efforts to ensure the continuity of the programme,” he said in a statement today.
Mohd Shafry said cafe operators participating in the initiative were presented with certificates of appreciation, while selected students received a symbolic Prihatin Siswa Card from the Vice-Chancellor as proof of eligibility to purchase the Menu Siswa Rahmah.
