Yes , finally what others has failed to do. UMNO that has been in power for more than 50 years , this was one of the saddest failure that has plagued our talents
Good and straight A students not getting what they deserved , they had to resort to sth less and aiming for less. I had seen it happen , so much potential wasted.
Despite all the controversies, PH has managed to set things right once again. They have set many things right , not PN who were busy siphoning and being corrupt in order to keep up with sheraton move.
Meritocracy is the way forward ! those that deserve the merits they earn ! Give them the chance and let them show us the future !

What meritocracy when matriculation programme was meant to be a backdoor to enter local university?

THE matriculation programme was meant to be a backdoor to help more Malay students get into university, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“We decided to have matriculation because we found that Malays do not have a higher certificate and they could enter universities. So, we provided a backdoor for that.

“It was entirely meant to be a backdoor (entry) for Malays but now other people do much better but they cannot get into matriculation.

“It is simply because they did not do much better that we had to create matriculation for the Malays

Anwar, stop being generous, just be fair

The announcement from PMX guarantees that non-bumiputras will have a place in matriculation courses if they have 10 As. How many non-bumi have 10 As? What about 9/ 8As or 7 As

I feel sorry, especially for the poorer Indians and Chinese families. Ninety per cent of the places in Matriculation are already reserved for Bumis. Their children have to get 10As to qualify. Why can't this government be more sensible and fair to non-Malays? Could you not give them more places?

Is Anwar serious in talking about and understand the meaning of balancing meritocracy with the principle of justice as fairness?

No one will object if you give an everage students from ill equip and poor rural school into a well equip with best teacher and prepared them to take a unify univetsity entry exam (STPM or A level). But to give a 90% quoto with a lower university enter exam and then proudly announce to the whole world we already abolish quoto sysyem with meritrocracy system for university intake is institutionalisation of cheating.

Anwar, in a Facebook post today, said in a country which implements a system based on meritocracy, the government emphasised the importance of balancing meritocracy with the principle of justice as fairness, as expressed by Harvard scholar, John Rawls.

“This matter needs to be understood by some elite groups in the city, who talk loudly about meritocracy, but do not think whether it is fair to let students in Manik Urai or Kapit compete with students in Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) or Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Chung Ling, which are equipped with the best infrastructure.

He cautioned against implementing meritocracy without consideration for fairness, as the poor and marginalised will remain in such a state.

“This is ‘The Tyranny of Merit’ as argued by the American scholar, Michael Sandel,” he said.

Don't get carried away.
It is insincere.
Which non-bumi can get 10As? How many? Why that condition?
What about those who get lesser As?

these are very badly designed tests to reward lazy and s.tupid students...........not hard working intelligent students.

I heard UKM still having matriculation for Bumi only, not open at all...so they need some where to masuk Uni, get certificate, get into govt service, talking/signing position, easy money. Everybody want this path. This is the high potential of Msia. :D

Look at the bright side...at least the government has approved many private universities.

So it's clear, it's natural Chinese go private , malays to government. Don't fight what is natural

THATS what PN want... however , gov today is of multicultural... and anwar already confirm that , this is big difference
1. Percentage of Non -bumi with straight A > bumi
2. those straight As now get to go on to higher levels , without having to fight for spots like before
3. they will have bigger and variety of unis / scholarships to get into , in/out country under gov scholarships
Funny , still so race centric instead of merits . what era are u guys from? still wan that for malaysia. Why is malaysia so backwards i wonder. Sometimes, these ppl ask themself that question

before win, reduce petrol price
after win, reduce subsidy.

Posted by Sslee > 1 day ago | Report Abuse

Subsidy can never be good.
People need to learn there is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

The first time you give somebody something for free you create appreciation.
The second time you give the same person something for free you create anticipation.
The third time- expectation.
The fourth time- entitlement
The fifth time- dependency.
When you don't give it again , it can often lead to resentment that overnight grows into hatred.
Be charitable but be wise.

they need a plan to cut subsidy gradually and with markers.

instead they go and make things even more complicated.
