Fellow malaysians, I've received unofficial update that the final confirmation will most likely be out middle of Feb.
From my understanding out of the total 33 who were nominated this year, 3 voluntarily dropped their nomination. 29 were successful with tentative status and 1 substitute candidate was selected, in case any of the 29 were to give up.
And also from my understanding, the 29 are most likely to get the scholarship unless something happened at the university level, which I will not speculate as there are 1001 possibilities.
As to what will happen when the official news arrive is, we will receive a letter stating the university we're going, when we're going (april or october), the flight itinerary and a pledge form to sign (declaration and contract).
As for Visa, candidates are considered special cases under govt scholarships, so we don't actually have to 'apply' and wait for approval. Perhaps we only need to fill up a simple form as a formality so don't worry about the visa, just get your passport ready.
Ok, for those who received notice from their universities (official or non-official), a big congrats!
For those of us who are still waiting with out butts aching, lets hope for the best.
Happy Chinese New YEar and Gong Xi Fa Chai to all chinese members here. An ox..picious year ahead =)
