SHAH ALAM, 14 Jan 2009: The Selangor government is offering 10 scholarships to Malay Malaysian and Indian Malaysian students fluent in Mandarin to pursue studies in China.

Each student would receive about RM100,000 for a year’s study, he told a press conference after the state executive council meeting here today.
