Contract of Scholarship • S.4 (a) of the Contract (Amendment) Act 1976 [Act A329]

We learned this law on Constract law.This law is written about scholarship.
You know  person below the age of 18 is minor. Minor is not complete to contract as general rule.
But this law says minor also can sue and be sued because a scholarship agreement shall not be invalidated by reason the scholar is a minor. This amendment was introduced after Gurcharan Singh’s case and nullifies the decision of this case. That's why If even person are minor, he or she can contract.

Now let's see Japan. The issues that people don't try to return their scholarship are increasing more and more in Japan. For example,we can owe money once a month as scholarship.So we have to return them after we graduate from the school.It means since we start working.Then some of scholarship have interest.Their load will be heavy.It is hard for them to return once a month.We don't know whether we can return them for sure.We have to earn money to live and to return scholarship.We know It is not easy for us to do it. It depends on their job or salary.If some of us don't owe money, to send their daily life will be hard because of inadequate. But If some of us owe it, to return money will be a problem in thier life.Nowadays Japan has a lot of this problem.

In this case, we need to return money after we graduate from the school.That's why the case that minor is sued is few.On the other hand, people can contract about scholarship in Malaysia.But  I think both look like almost same.If the minor person is sued in Malaysia, the person's parents or people around the person will pay it.In Japan also, when we make a promise, we need signs which are not family but also the third person like neibors or friends.If the person has some problem, the third person has to support him or her.

That even minor can contact in Malaysia is true.If they have some problem, they need help which people around the person gives.When it comes to money, It is not easy for them.Many of them are students.
