Kuala Lumpur — The University of Malaya is to introduce a new programme this year to get more bumiputra students into the science faculty. Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ungku Abdul Aziz said the University proposed to carry out three steps to improve the present pre-science course due to the shortage of these students in the country. The three steps are:

1.	Increase the number of places from 80 to 120 for the one year course.
2.	Lower the requirements from two subsidiary passes to one subsidiary pass.
3.	Open the course to mature students who are 25 years on May 1.
