You can enter STPM, ace in it and apply for local universities. That would save more compared with going to overseas, and it that does not work, with a very good STPM result, u can still go for local medicine programs in IMU, AIMST, PMC, Manipal, etc.

Bear in mind that JPA scholarship, u need to have straight As result and good co-curriculum achievement and places are limited.

Other source of funding would be corporate scholarship or scholarships offered by private institution. Heard that UTAR will be offering medicine programme in the future, so u would have more alternative and cost saving method to study medicine.

TARC does offer STPM

Hie there,

Sorry for late reply, haven't being into this section for some while. Manipal Medical College is just like other private medical school in Malaysia, and it has twinning with universities in India, where that nation is one of the most famous destination for medical students. However as for all private institution, the fees are exorbitant. The good thing about public universities medical programme is undoubtedly the cost of doing it.

For UTAR medical degree, if it is recognised, which it will be when the pioneer batch graduated, you could either apply for master in medicine (specialization) in local univ, eg: UKM or take up fellowship exams in certain colleges of medicines worldwide.
