Staff Comments
1. The Consulate has stated that the value of the scholarship is MYR 160,000, while Borneo Post Online states that it is MYR 150,000; AidData has assumed that the MYR 160,000 given by the official press release is the correct number. AidData has estimated the commitment date as 1 August 2019, based on the sources found.
