Regressive matriculation policy perpetuates discrimination

for matriculation programmes will remain at 90 percent while increasing the intake from 25,000 to 40,000. Non-Malay admission will only receive an increase from 2,500 to 4,000 places despite the hype about constructing a “New Malaysia” after the majority of non-Malay voters contributed to Pakatan Harapan’s victory at the 2018 general election.

The reality is that even within the national education system, non-bumiputera suffer discrimination such as in access to scholarships, special schools and tertiary institutions. For decades we have witnessed the annual spectacle of non-bumiputera with straight As being rejected for entry into the courses of their choice at public sector universities.

The university entrance criteria are not transparent and appear to be based on arbitrary factors. The same lack of transparency applies to the eligibility criteria involved in the selection process for the choice of courses, award of scholarships and loans for study. The Malay-based parties and their legal advisers arduously try to avoid this inconvenient truth: the quota system that has been practised in the country since 1971 was never part of the 1957 independence agreement.

1. The beneficiary group in Malaysia happens to be the politically-dominant and majority Malay group while the most obvious beneficiary group in any affirmative action ought to be one whose people have been historically discriminated against such as the Orang Asli;

On one hand, the ‘Nons’ are saying that Matriculation producers weak graduates like the 2 HKL kangkung forensics but at the same time is begging for more allocation. Bigotry all the way.

national school, school of choice? More and more private institution will open after this. you can close down form6/STPM. maszlee TeoNieChing
