| Snippet Extract from The Straits Times on 9 June 2025 "Malaysian top scorers’ hopes for pre-uni spots dashed, reigniting fairness debate" |
I was shocked beyond words that Malaysian top scorers scoring 10As in our neighbouring country of Malaysia does not guarantee a spot for public Pre-University programme. Apparently, 90% are still being reserved for indigenous population. I thought that things have improved slightly since the new poltical parties coalition took power. If separation from Malaysia did not happen in 1965, Singaporeans would also have faced the same policy and the only way out were to send your kids to costly private college programme. Think we should be grateful that our local meritocracy system (albeit its con of highly stressful education environment) creates a equal opportunity environment regardless of race and religion.
Yup that's right... Hard to enter government university in Malaysia due to quota system.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible.....it will lead to brain drain of talents- students who go overseas to study due to insufficent openings in Uni then decided to stay and work outside...
DeleteErm it already happened for many many years and counting đŸ˜‚.
DeleteIt's a section that politicians dun dare to touch.
