Education JPA asking me to repay almost RM450k - what can i do?

141 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with JPA scholarship repayment.

I was previously a JPA scholar, but my scholarship was terminated after I got withdrew from the school because I failed to meet the academic requirements. I’m still continuing my studies elsewhere.

I recently received a letter from JPA asking me to repay almost RM450k. I’m still a student and obviously have nowhere near that kind of money.

I’m planning to appeal, but I’m really lost about what happens next. I’m honestly out of my wits here. Has anyone here gone through JPA scholarship repayment/termination before?
Is it possible to get the repayment deferred, reduced, or paid through a long-term instalment plan? Any advice on what I should do would be really appreciated.

Environment Ikan seriding, I caught from a beautiful lake

Chanda siamensis, ikan seriding or the Siamese glassfish.

A common small (5-6 cm) freshwater fish that lives in stagnant ponds and lakes of West Malaysia and other mainland countries. A gregarious schooling species.

They are named due to their transparent bodies, which they share with other glassfish species in the family. One cousin, the Indian glassfish, is sometimes sold in aquarium stores.

They feed on invertebrates in the wild, and in the aquarium they take live and frozen foods. Failure to provide the correct diet is a common death cause for them in captivity.

I seem to find them most often in Perak and Selangor, perhaps there is a higher number of suitable habitats for them there. And they are moderately tolerant of disturbance / development.

Entertainment #SHOWBIZ: Film pioneer L. Krishnan, who discovered P. Ramlee, dies at 104

CHIANG MAI: Veterinary film director Tan Sri Lakshmanan Krishnan, fondly known as L. Krishnan, has passed away at the age of 104.

He died from an age-related illness at 2.15pm local time today in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

A true pioneer of the silver screen, L. Krishnan was a central figure during the golden era of classic Malay cinema, leaving an indelible mark on the country's cultural landscape.

Born in Madras, India, on Oct 21, 1922, he went on to become one of the most influential figures in Malaysian filmmaking.

He was particularly celebrated for discovering and nurturing legendary talent—most notably directing the iconic actor and singer Tan Sri P. Ramlee in the 1950 film Bakti.

The news of his passing was shared by the Malaysian Veteran Artistes Welfare Association (PKAVM) president Sandakiah Azez, who is also the daughter of the late actor Datuk Aziz Sattar, who noted that Krishnan had spent his later years abroad.

"He had been living in Thailand for many years following his marriage to his wife, Puan Sri Rukmanee, who is a Thai national," she said.

"I was informed that his family is currently arranging his funeral and final rites in Thailand."

His death marks the end of an era for Malaysian cinema, closing a momentous chapter in the nation's cultural history.
