Kad Diskaun Siswa 1Malaysia (KADS1M)

The Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism had launched a type of discount card called  Kad Diskaun Siswa 1Malaysia (KADS1M) for university/college students with the objective to reduce the expenses of the students.

The discount card will be distributed to students who fulfill the following criteria for FREE:

• Pursuing a long term course with duration of more than 1 year (certificate, diploma, degree and above);
• Full time course;
• Must be Malaysian

The students need not apply for the discount card as it will be distributed automatically through the university/college administration department. The discount card is valid as long as the student has not graduated from the university/college.

There's a long list of companies who give discount to students with Kad Diskaun Siswa 1Malaysia (KADS1M). You can view the complete list here.

Up to October, 927397 cards had been distributed. After receiving positive feedback, the ministry has considered extending this card to include Malaysian university students studying overseas as well as part-time university students to help students reduce their daily cost of living.
