“Tun Daim did not show any data to support his claim, by right he should have provided data collected in the last 10 years to show the achievement of Bumiputera and Indian students in Science subjects compared to Chinese students. He said that matriculation is the only recourse to most financially-strapped Bumiputera students to uncover their “true potential”, adding that 70 per cent of Malaysia remain without proper access to educational infrastructure.
He said most selected student have good academic performance and diverse potential and talent; all they need is a more structured development opportunity. “In certain subjects, the syllabus is more difficult compared to STPM as according to the current requirement, because the matriculation programme is framed with the goal of preparing students for universities.“Tun Daim should be more mindful when voicing his views, and should not just give preconceived opinions,” Mohamed Khaled said.that the original purpose of matriculation to correct racial imbalances no longer existed and indicated that the system should be dismantled.
How about your show proof that matriculation is relevant instead since the taxpayers are all paying for it?
Coincentally Matriculations credentials won't get you a job.
khalednordin Pls lah, jgn degil DAN bodoh. Just ask the thousands of unemployable Uni graduates who got there via Matriculation. When for 30 years you allow ppl with very ppor & poor F5 results to go on to Uni, what can you expect? Nobel Prize winners?
Matric is redundant system that waste of time money n space. Show proof? You are the living evidence
Indirectly Daim says he is no longer relevant...
Do your own homework umno. Don't be lazy. On the other hand, show proof too that matriculation works & all of them graduated well.
