JPA scholarships

Every year in and year out...
many students were saddened by the quota system of the way the scholarship is given out. I was one of those who fall under the JPA scandal...
You know its kinda very heart breaking to be rejected after giving the full few years of your life in school to get straight As and still get rejected because on the ground of my race as chinese. This treatment is worst than Apartheid in South Africa. Its like you bought the first class ticket and being kicked into the economy class and your right as first class ticket holder being given to someone else with economy class ticket. Ask any right minded consumer whether they would like to be treated in such manner. Absolutely no!

There are just too many unprofessional way the scholarship is given. Take myself for an example. I'm a state debater, president of fews clubs including prefectorial board and very active in many co-curricular activities. And I scored straight As ofcourse. The way the interview was conducted was like uneducated people being given the task of taking care of the missile launch button of a nuclear weapon. Maybe a bit too exagerating but that how it is. When I was presenting the interviewer jsut walked outside the room to answer a call. My friend complained of how his interviewer was busy answering messages the whole time. The question here is PSD interviwers are the most rude interviwer I ever face with. Totally unprofessional and do not ethics in carrying out their task.

The other issue is, since they say that the point system is based on a few criteria, they should publish the marks scored by the so deserving students. This way we will know how the students did according to the point system. It just gives us the impression that they had already chose who to give it to. Yeah, to the close family and friends of UMNO and BN. It is just unfair the way they give out the scholarship.

the solution still remains for non bumi students in malaysia... the same old formula is study at private college or overseas. when you are successful enough, leave Malaysia and start a new life in the land of opportunity and merit like US, Singapore, Australia...

This is also my conclusion. the BN parties will just say they will help u appeal.. but they are just dogs barking to their UMNO master. so the decision still remains in the hands of the master...
as u know.. what the decision of the half century master is, will be and remains to discriminate non bumi population. yeah their claim of their majority of population is just another excuse. 50 years back, chinese make up 50% of malaya population. what happen that now it is barely 30%? because of discrimination and NEP.
I will never support race based party ever in my life.. and MCA and MIC founders are really just whores who prostitute themselves to UMNO. and the result is the Chinese and Indian population being ill treated till today.
No to BN... change in gov in 13th general election is the only solution....
so hopefully any students who fell under the black magic of BN for the scholarship, please wake up, there is a difference between ideal and reality.. reality is practical and ideal is just bull shit that will never happen. and reality sucks, I know. I have been there and done all those appeal to no avail. well, your future is in your own hands. Just never trust the BN gov. they are full of crap. trust me.
Time to change.... for justice to happen...

all the best to all of you in ur careers... as usual the typical chinese way is to work hard, work hard and still work hard.. but this time in a smarter way... hopefully...
Will keep praying for the change to happen.. united we stand against injustice of apartheid BN gov.
