MCA & JPA Scholarships


It is not unusual to see MCA people during the time JPA result is released each year.For the past few decades, it has been a "must" whereby top scorers of SPM swarming into the MCA office and begging them for help, and you can notice that on the newspaper the next day that says :

“马华为优异生上诉公共服务奖学金” or translated into " MCA: We're ready to help Top scorers" or something like that.

But, if MCA is the government, why can't they fix up this issue once and for all?

This is simply because they need something to ACT, to SHOW, and in certain extent, to "PROVE" that they're actually "serving" for the people. So, the more top scorers in our country failing to get JPA scholarships, the more chance for them to 'show off' their 'service' and 'authority'. I just couldnt stand seeing the cream of our new generation BEGGING MCA for the opportunity to receive better education. It is simply a DISGRACE to all Malaysians that what you get in this country is not based on how hard you worked or how good you are; it's more like the success of one individual depends heavily on what 'type' of 'connection' you managed to get onto.

Same thing happens every year during the intake of public local universities, STPM students who scored perfect results were being rejected. Instead, graduates of Matrikulasi which CGPA lower than 4.0 get admitted to Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy courses. That is when MCA will 'advertise' themselves through the media by voluntarily 'helping' these students to 'fight for their rights'.

You wait and see, this 'natural phenomena' happen again next year at around this time. MCA will again become the "heroes" for the rejected top scorers.

I found this article from Malaysiakini, targeting on this issue that has been happening again and again for 30 years.

先让我来开口。。本地奖学金不是不够,而是分配不公。

优秀生奖学金问题年年发生
李文材批评马华博宣传做戏

5月14日 下午3点51分
尽管内阁已指示公共服务局全面检讨发放海外留学奖学金的标准与机制,但是在野党却质问,为何每年同样时期都“准时”发生同样的优秀生奖学金问题,而马华也同样的年年为优秀生争取上诉。

lee boon chye人民公正党副主席李文材对优秀生申请不到奖学金事件每年重复发生感到遗憾,并认为这是非常严重及不可原谅的过错。

他今日发表文告说,今年多位全科A的优秀生在公共服务局海外奖学金落榜,并通过朝野政党在媒体曝光。单从报章的报导,全国已有近20位特优生落榜。

同样戏码上演了近30年


李文材也是务边国会议员,他质疑马华为博宣传而没有彻底解决问题,每当这时候就好象反对党般召开记者会。

他说,同样的戏已经演了近30年,马华做了多年教育部副部长都在为优秀生上诉,而不是确保这事件不再发生。

“政府应珍惜人才,学生多年寒窗苦读只为考取好成绩升学,但却因政府不透明的政策无法好获取奖学金。”

李文材呼吁政府彻底的解决升学问题,提高政府部门的效率,确保明年不再发生。

陆兆福:透明一致性何在?


anthony loke另一方面,民主行动党社青团总团长兼亚沙区国会议员陆兆福发表文告说,公共服务局海外留学奖学金得主名单出炉,再次爆发了优秀生申请奖学金而落空的不幸事件。

他说,在这星期内公开投诉的优秀生已有超过15位,包括几位大马教育文凭中考获13A1、12A1、及16A的学术精英。当中还有几位甚至完全没被国立大学录取。他们的申请都被无条件拒绝。

“除了公共服务局里的官僚之外,没有任何人知道为何他们被拒绝的原因。因此公众包括接受投诉的人民代议士,都无法彻底及准确地判断到底这些优秀生是否获得公平待遇。”

他表示,目前无法详细地获知公共服务局海外留学奖学金的分配方式。

他说,根据前首相署部长柏纳东博于今年3月所发表的声明,海外留学奖学金的20%将不分种族发给“最杰出”的学生,60%将发给全国各地的土著及非土著优秀生,10%将发给沙巴砂劳越土著,而剩余的10%将发给成绩优越的残障人士。

“上述所谓的模式极为含糊,以上20%里的优秀生与以上60%里的优秀生有什么区别?那么这20%的奖学金是否公平地分配给土著及非土著学生?”

他说,高教部长卡立诺丁于本月10日澄清,所提的60%当中,65%将保留给土著而35%将分配给非土著。但是,首相署部长纳兹里在去年7月已重申,公共服务局奖学金所附著得55:45土著非土著比例将继续生效。

“这比例是适用于所有的奖学金,还是只适用于所提的60%。难道这还不够困惑、不够不一致吗?”

什么标准判断奖学金资格?


他也质问,从申请过程到面试过程中,公共服务局到底是以什么标准来判断某申请者获取奖学金的资格?

“所有申请者,无论成功或不成功,都必须得到充分的解释。这整个事件很显然地缺乏了透明度、明晰度、及一致性。”

他说,高教部副部长拿督赛夫丁阿都拉在这星期还表示,其部门有意取消大学固打制。

“他发表这言论后,我们便发现几位优秀生不但无法获得奖学金,而且还不被国立大学录取。政府到底能不能言行一致?”

“社青团敦促公共服务局公布分配海外留学奖学金及挑定得奖者的详细模式。所有有关当局,包括公共服务局、首相署及高教部必须针对这门课题一劳永逸地作出详尽的解释。”

“公共服务局也必须澄清,是否已改变政策,尝试挽留最优秀的学生而不优先考虑送他们出国留学,导致海外奖学金落在成绩较不理想的学生手中。”

“我想在此补充,社青团欢迎赛夫丁取消大学固打制的建议,并希望它尽快落实。社青团促请各方在承认国家人才时拒绝种族主义的各种元素,并拥护公平合理以及任人唯贤的原则。”

翁诗杰:指示检讨发放标准


ong tee keat马华总会长翁诗杰昨日召开临时记者会披露,经过马华4名部长向首相纳吉汇报后,内阁认同必须全面检讨发放海外留学奖学金机制。

他说,内阁早在1月已议决,必须根据4大类别来发放公共服务局的海外留学奖学金,惟当局却没有依据相关标准行事。

这4大类别是:(一)20%根据绩效制发放;(二)60%根据种族比例发放;(三)10%发放予东马的土著;及(四)10%发放予弱势群体。

翁诗杰指出,海外留学奖学金共有2000份名额,而占了20%的第(一)类别将获分配400份名额。不过,他说,单从报章上的优秀生落榜个案看来,这4大类别的遴选标准并没真正落实。

Video of Speaker being dragged out BANNED

The screening of the video captured on 7th May during the state assembly that shows Sivakumar, the speaker, being dragged out of the hall has been banned on the television. Government put that order in effect immediately after incident whereby Barisan Nasional and police dragged the Speaker out of the Hall, before appointing their own "speaker".

Democracy in Malaysia is already dead, what about the freedom of speech and media?




Besides, image of an unidentified man carrying firearm into the Hall is another prove that Barisan Nasional is threatening the country's Democracy by force. Hee Mei Foong has also being captured on a photograph with she aiming a pepper spray(weapon) towards Pakatan Rakyat's state assemblyman. Without the basic respect for our country's law and constitutions, I doubt if the mentality and vision of Barisan's leader can lead Malaysia towards positive changes.

UMNO-style-gangster with a handgun.



Hee Mei Foong with her pepperspray which she strongly denied that it was a pepperspray, and claimed that it is a USB thumbdrive instead. Well, its a weird pose of holding a thumbdrive isnt it?

Nizar is Legitimate Perak MB

Nizar giving a thumb-up outside the court

Nizar, who was 'sacked' by the Sultan of Perak not long ago, has been declared as the legitimate Menteri Besar of Perak by Kuala Lumpur High Court judge, Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahim.

The court's decision ruled out Zambry as the Perak MB, because it is not within Sultan Perak's authority to do so. Zambry's personal assistant told the media that Barisan Nasional will abide the ruling of the court by moving out of the state building as soon as possible. However, Najib has indicated Barisan's intention to appeal against the court's decision.


Makkal Sakthi!

Why Choose STPM?


Not Really!


This article is directed to those who decided to study STPM 2009.


Most of the SPM 2008 graduates who applied for JPA scholarships should have already gotten their replies, whether or not they received the awards.

Anyhow, I believe there are thousands of students out there failed to get JPA scholarships even though they scored straight 1A's. In Jit Sin alone, there are more than 100 students scoring 10A's and above, maybe even more than that. But what I'm trying to say here is that, JPA scholarships are awarded to you if you're lucky enough.

If you received either JPA scholarship ( overseas U) or Matrikulasi program (local U only), go for it. Either one of them will guarantee you MORE chance to further your studies in university compared to other means. But if you're the unlucky outcast, who failed to get ANY special offers besides form six at highschool, that does not mean your future is totally gone.

I used to think that I was so unfortunate that I had to continue my two years studies at highschool as a sixth form student; but not anymore after I started doing my first month of STPM study. Things can be so bitter that you see friends who went for Matrikulasi or JPA managed to secure a place in universities one year ahead of you, without having to put in as much effort; but hold on, I can assure you that you have just made the right choice by enrolling in sixth form studies.

I am not going to debate why Pre U programs in private universities can be a waste of time of your life if your daddy is not RICH enough, but i'm going to tell you straight, on WHY you're on the right path, STPM.


1. Challenge. Many friends of mine who opted for private colleges right after SPM asked me, Why choose form six. "I heard form six is very hard lar!" , " form six is not for human one!". Yes, they knew form six is tough. I knew it before I finally chosen to stay back at highschool for that. The STPM syllabus covers very wide range of knowledge for each subject. Some say that science stream is especially hard and tough, and I would agree on that. However, I believe that the commerce and arts streams are not easy as well.

STPM is particularly hard because you are required to cram so much stuffs into your head in just 1 and a half year. Most teachers would even call you back to school during saturdays and holidays for extra classes, just to catch up the syllabus before the real exam. I still remember that teachers were still struggling to cover the last few topics less than 4 WEEKS before STPM. And of course, a 7.30am-3.00pm contact hours everyday is not unusual for sixth form students.

But if you carefully think about it, you'll realise that these challenges are fun, and rewarding. You get to spend time doing all sorts of experiments, practicals and assignments with your classmates. You get to learn alot MORE before making your way to the university. So far, all my sixth form ex classmates are really doing their degree programs with confidence and pride. The difference in quality of a STPM graduate and a graduate of a 8-months-preU-program is VERY distinct by the time you get into university.

You can ask any STPM graduates around you IF they have wasted their time rushing and catching up with the mountain of syllabus, most will say no.

2. Future. Many SPM grads who are 'forced' into form six are particularly worried about their future. STPM is only BAD for ONE THING - chance of getting into your dream course in local public university is very small (especially medic, dentistry, and pharmacy). Only about 10% of STPM graduates constitute the total number of students in critical courses(in local public U). However, Many of my classmates got into Nutrition, Biotech, Food Tech courses in local public unversities. These courses are not hard to get in despite their pouplarities, compared to critical courses.

But if you are ready to put effort in it, and give it a good try by working hard in STPM, you can score good results you never expected. Most of the STPM students dont score 4.0 CGPA, but they can still easily get admitted into National University of Singapore (3.5CGPA is still accepted), Nanyang Technology University.

Local private
universities? The last time I checked the entry requirements for medicine course in IMU, AIMST and many other medicine schools, a results of BBBB in if more than enough. Pharmacy? Law? Accounting? they are ALOT easier to get in. And dont worry about the fees, as you can borrow PTPTN loans ( of course you need to pay back) to achieve your dreams.

By the way, almost ALL overseas universities recognize STPM certificate. Australia, UK, USA, Taiwan, Indonesia, India , you name it, they are welcoming you as a STPM graduate, if you can afford the tuition fees.

All in all, if you really work hard and do well in STPM, your certificate is invaluable; but if you only get an average result, you will still be HIGHLY REGARDED by ANY universities in any place. There are much more opportunities for STPM grads compared to private colleges pre U graduates.


3. At last, form six is FUN. Whether or not you love your school, it is going to be fun as you stay back at highschool for the final two years. You'll eventually garnered more than just experience, fantastic memories and priceless friendships will follow you for your whole life.


Congrats to ALL future STPM students, you're about to enter the League of Sixers!



Be sure to read Why is STPM a phobia to SPM graduates? as well.

举剑无罪,黑衣犯法 - 摘自《当今大马》

The state assembly session of Perak ended up really ugly for the "ruling" party. Police forces have turned into mercenaries of UMNO, dragging out the Speaker from his seat today, by force.

Has the legislation and the Constitution of Malaysia that has been used by UMNO to cover up their wrong-doings, become pieces of worthless toilet papers? Where is the Law when Malaysians needed it the most? Where the heck are our policemen, when UMNO's lust and greed for power became a menace to the multiracial society in Malaysia?

Najib, have you delievered what you promised? One Malaysia? Or UMNO number 1? You're a corrupt with rotten conscience, I can understand that. But I just do not get it why Malaysians can tolerate people like you and UMNO for all these years since independence.

While the party is constantly making remarks like "Chinese are threatening the existence of Malays" or by spreading hate among Malaysians through media like Utusan or TV3, I hope Malaysians, regardless of race and religions can stand up and fight for true democracy without fear.

Below is an article I've read from Malaysiakini, which I think depicts clearly the Najib administration and the lies within.

Title:Wearing Black is Ilegal, but Waving the Kris is Not.


稿:黄业华


najib announce new cabinet lineup 090409 05









纳吉和希山慕丁接过了首相和内政部长职位后,马来西亚正式迈入二世祖年代。这两个二世祖虽然从政已久,向来平步青云,可是政绩却乏善可陈。

两人最令人印象深刻的,就是扮演马来英雄,誓言以马来短剑捍卫马来族群利益。纳吉在1987年茅草行动前夕的一场大集会上恫言“要以华人的血清洗马来短剑”;希山慕丁连续几年在巫统党代表大会上举剑、吻剑和舞剑,引来了非马来人社会的强烈批评。

hishamuddin hussein kissing the keris at umno 57 agm 221106











马来西亚是一个对“国内安全”有特别诠释的地方。在族群关系紧张的情况下,声称要用华人的血清洗马来剑不但没有问题,也不会惊动警方调查是否已威胁国内安全。纳吉在不久后的茅草行动中没有被逮捕,没有被关进甘文丁几年反省反省,就是一个绝佳例子。

希山慕丁舞剑的动作令非马来人极度不安,在巫统党员参与辩论的时候,甚至还有人调侃希山慕丁“几时要用这把剑?”。警方却连续几年视若无睹。

社会到处充斥双重标准

相反的,《星洲日报》记者陈云清只不过据实写出槟州巫统风云人物阿末伊斯迈的经典“寄居论”就被内安法令逮捕。当时的内政部长以为全国人民都是白痴,声明陈云清并非威胁国家安全或犯罪,警方只是要保护她的安全。伟哉斯言!

isa 3 teresa raja petra tan hoon cheng著名异议部落客拉惹佩特拉和雪州行政议员郭素沁也在内安法令下被捕,前者被指在网页上撰文控诉纳吉和阿旦杜亚谋杀案有关,郭素沁则被指反对金銮镇回教堂播放的祷告声而被逮捕。

再来,社会主义党用了一个拳头作为党徽,就被社团注册局刁难。社团注册局指拳头象征暴力,社会主义党驳斥这个指责并反问,难道巫统党徽使用马来短剑,就不算暴力吗?我们的社会到处充斥双重标准。

人民失去选择穿衣的自由

bershi 1blackmalaysia pc 050509 01最 近的政局发展更是有趣,公选盟号召国人穿黑衣抗议国阵的霹雳州非法政府在5月7日召开州议会,警察在记者会后几个小时迅速逮捕公选盟发言人和政治学者黄进 发,并以煽动法令调查黄进发的行为是否以构成犯罪。然后全国总警长警告反对党和公众勿试图阻止霹雳州议会会议的召开,警方将对违法者采取严厉行动。

曾几何时,我国人民连选择穿衣的自由也没有?呼吁人民穿黑衣也不行?举剑舞剑的人逍遥法外,写新闻的、写部落格的、莫须有的、呼吁人们穿黑衣的,通通像十恶不赦的奸徒锒铛入狱。

侵害人民法律咨询和代表权

不至于此,警察抓了黄进发后,五个律师被拦在商业罪案调查组总部长达4个小时,不准和当事人见面。警方也证实在四个小时之中,未曾盘问黄进发。这无疑否决了人民获得法律咨询和代表的权利,触犯了联合国的《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》第十四条第三项之:

(II)有相当时间和便利准备他的辩护并与他自己选择的律师联络;

(III)受审时间不被无故拖延;

警察做起“绑架”勾当?

wong chin huat arrested one black malaysia campaign court orange shirt 060509也不至于此。在律师和警方僵持不下,一个警官要求律师到警亭内谈话,看似准备妥协让律师进入警局会见黄进发。但是,在场的社会活跃份子随即发现一辆载着黄进发的警车快速驶离警局,警方拒绝回答他被带去什么地方。

这个调虎离山之计,令人不得不思考,我们的警察部队到底腐化到什么程度了?在没有良好理由下剥夺公民自由,否决人民的法律咨询权利,扣留和隔绝的处理方式毫不专业。

调虎离山之计看似精明,但是人民作为纳税人和公共服务的老板,什么时候允许警察做起“绑架”的勾当?国内治安每况愈下,警察打击犯罪无力,还成为不折不扣的政治迫害工具,无怪乎坊间到处流传“警察保护的是巫统,不是平民百姓!”

逮捕集会者散布恐怖氛围

vigil and arrest in front brickfield polis station 060509 liau kok fah











黄进发被扣第二天,警方经过二次申请,终于获得庭令把他延扣到5月8日。当天晚上,非政府组织和政党领袖在十五碑警局外举办烛光会声援黄进发,蛮横的警员当场扣留14人,包括一名国会议员。

14人在数小时后无条件获释,可见警察企图通过逮捕行动,制造恐怖氛围驱散支持者。然而,警察部队在公众心中的形象却因此再次受损。

同 天,回教党副主席莫哈末沙布也被逮捕,罪名是在怡保组织群众参与祷告。另一边厢,公正党领袖巴特鲁希山和几个支持者因送阿旦杜亚生日蛋糕至首相署而被逮 捕。连祷告和送蛋糕也会,我国正式进入警察国年代。全民大马并没有错,全国人民都在大阿哥的监督之下,不但情报眼处处皆是,大阿哥的拳头也布满全国。

“所谓独立是个大骗局”

无怪乎黄进发念兹在兹就是“匈奴未灭”,他所指的“匈奴”乃是巫统领导的专制政权。黄进发在他的个人网志阐明:

“匈奴未灭,因为1957年的独立和1963年的建国,并没有为我们带来民主。几乎从独立后不久开始,马来亚/马来西亚就逐渐堕落成巫统的“选举型一党制国家”。所谓独立50年,对了解马来西亚政治史的我而言,是一个大骗局。”

明天(5月7日),霹雳州议会会议到底会发生什么事?已有消息指出镇暴队进驻霹雳州秘书大厦,警方将封锁数条道路,包括该建筑物半径500公尺的地方。

荒腔走板推翻民选政府

州 议会外的警察暴力、州议会内荒腔走板的行为、虚伪的皇室致辞,将把这场由国阵和纳吉主导的政变讽刺剧推向高潮。国民必须抱着沉痛的心情宣布,霹雳州的民主 已经死亡,民选的政府已经被推翻,政治领导权已落在叛变政府手上。留给人民的,就是美轮美奂的州秘书大厦外的铁丝网、警棍和红头兵。

忧心国事的公民,此刻能做的并不多,除了响应前上诉庭法官N.H. Chan的呼吁,一旦对法庭的不公正判决感到失望,人民可以在下届大选以选票教训政府之外;就只有穿上黑色服装,以最简单的行动参与公民不服从运动,向残暴和反民主的政权做出严重的抗议!

后记:此文截稿时,警察冲入霹雳州行动党总部附近的餐馆,逮捕所有穿黑衣吃早餐的人。Syabas!希山慕丁,Syabas!纳吉,巫统双剑客将名留千史,人民在投票的时候永远记得这一刻。

JSCO 日中华乐团



Credits to Angel for the information on this post. Thanks!


不知不觉,梁祝,已经五十岁了。小时候看过经典的“鸳鸯蝴蝶梦”这一套戏后,我永远都不会忘记那段曲子。要是说,我在中学生涯有什么遗憾,那最大之一的就是没有加入日中华乐团。我亲手放走学习华乐的机会,我没能亲手弹奏梁祝,其实才是最令人无奈的。

日新国中华乐团再次举办年度音乐演奏,主题为《金音》, 四月二十五日二零零九年,在槟州大会堂上演。又如往年一样,每场演出都是爆满的。本大爷有幸观赏2007年日中华乐演奏, 并且详细的记载下来了(请点击这里) ,

当中独奏的有
“西霜版纳的晚霞”, 其他的合奏则有
“东北风”,“难忘的泼水节”,“月夜”,“茉莉花”,“春愁”,“塔塔尔民歌”, “岳飞” 当然还不忘来一个 " 梁祝” 大合奏



这一篇,赠与李嘉宝,还有所有已经“退役”的日中华乐团员。


当台上的低音提琴
把曲子给牵到高潮时

你是否有些感触
看见自己
也曾在舞台上
演奏

当你坐在梯阶
静观
大合奏的时候

是不是又想起了
与战友,全神贯注的,
在挥舞手中的马尾弓
然后
再等待指挥的摆动?


年轻的学弟学妹
就把日新的辉煌文化
传承给你们吧
大伙儿们,记得要认真的付出!
我们会为你们而鼓掌
欢呼
并为你们的真诚
而感到
骄傲
和感动

因为你们
像我曾卖力的为乐团练曲

而那炙热的心,
也与每个团员一样的永恒,
为日中华乐团
绽放,和燃烧着。。。

World Class Universities - UiTM ?

RM50,000 just for these two pages worth of craps?


It's no more secrets that UiTM Vice Chancellor published/posted some self-congratulatory advertisments in the media, boasting UiTM as world-class universities.

But I certainly did not know that UiTM spent RM50,000 just to put up two pages of full-color advertisement in a local newspaper, claiming itself "world class universities."


And is the student intake of UiTM based of Meritocracy? Bull Shits. Our VC of UiTM must have gone nutsssss! I know it sounds like a joke, but it isnt.

Penanti by-election 31st May, Nomination 23rd May.

The election commission announced that the Penanti poll, following the resignation of Fairuz, will be held at 31st May 2009. Nomination day falls on 23rd May, meaning there will be 8 Days in between the two events.

Muhammad Fairuz Khairuddin left the Penang state seat vacant after a series of corruption allegations thrown to him, which eventually all cleared by the anti corruption agency.

Personally I still believe Fairuz is clean and innocent...
Anyhow, PKR should stop their internal strife against each other in the party, because they are the only hope we have to form a new government in the future.

Private College, a Good Choice for SPM graduates?


Private College. If this is the top choice for you besides JPA scholarships and Matrikulasi, or if you think Private colleges pre U programs can help you save one or two months or even one year of extra studies, better think about it again. Please note that I'm not trying to criticize or to pick on private colleges because of prejudice. I am merely pointing out WHY SPM graduates should think twice before making private colleges as their priority for further studies.

What you're about to read in this post later are my honest and unbiased opinions towards private colleges in Malaysia. To me, Private colleges is a good choice for STPM students who failed to get the courses they desired in local public universities, but certainly not for SPM graduates. Let's see why.


Ridiculously Expensive Tution Fees

Your friends/ private unis "promoters" may tell you...:

“Government can lend us money through PTPTN one lah! No worries lah!”
“ Haiya, UTAR got give away 100% scholarships for Pre U studies, if you get 9 As and above!”
“ Very cheap only lah… Can borrow money, somemore father mother can give pocket money, why not?”

I wish to remind anyone here whose parents are not that rich, THINK carefully before you make your decision to study in private colleges. PTPTN can certainly lend you a generous amount of money, but do not forget it is not for free. You have to pay for the interests and the installment you have to pay can stretch up to as far as 30 years. ( for Pre U fees + degree tuition fees)

Imagine YOU paying installment every month after you graduate from colleges until you’re 50 years old. Scary? And again, this is a fact. I’ve seen some of my friends whose families are not so wealthy, they spend up to/more than 1500ringgit per month for food and lodgings alone, and some even spend money lavishly at night clubs or internet as if they have only 1 lecture per week.

Bear in mind that this amount (approx 1000 ringgit per month) is food and lodgings ONLY, tuition fees not included. I can’t help but to feel sad for their parents, who work 12 hours a day and spare half of their income to support their children whom they thought are studying hard and are receiving top class education in colleges.

The story doesn’t end here. After Pre U in private college, where can you go for your degree? It is either Overseas or stay back in private colleges. For rich kids, yes, no problems. Some are rich enough to do 1 year of Pre U course and fly to UK Australia straight away for their degrees. But as I said, for those who’re not that rich, there is another few years for your parents (if not you) to suffer. All these would not happen to a form six or a local university students as the tuition fees for local universities is approximately 10 times LESS than the tuition fees of private colleges. (this is a fact!)

Do not get cheated by those advertisements which tell you that you are entitled a FREE Pre U course. Think about the degree. Very often the Pre U cost a little, but the tuition fees for degree courses can squeeze blood out of you.
( I’ve just seen a junior failing to get the scholarships she wanted so badly as advertised by the private college. Another victim)



Degree?

Thinking of getting a degree? Doing a Pre U program without continuing degree is useless. Once you have done your Pre U program at private colleges, you have only two choices: Continue your degree at PRIVATE COLLEGES, or at Overseas Universities. There is no way you can get into local university because the chance for that to happen is extremely small. And again, unless your dad owns big business or is a good friend of UMNO big shots, then going overseas would be quite impossible and your only choice is to stay back in that college for the rest of your degree.



Quality?


I had a friend who told me why he chose to study at private college after SPM.
The reason was “ Aiya, form six teachers all very lousy one lar!.... I do A level in XXXXX college sure the lecturers are better than them lar…”

Lecturers? Yea.. Of course it sounds a lot more glamorous than ‘form six teachers’. But only after a few months I spotted him hiding in the corner of my school’s lecture hall, listening to the lecture conducted by our chemistry teacher, Chua Yok Ten. He admitted that those “lecturers” are sucks. Another friend of mine studying in UXXX, told me that his English Language Lecturer couldn’t even speak English fluently. At first I doubt what he said, some other friends testified it. By hiring some jobless fresh graduates or part time job seekers as their lecturers, I believe private colleges can save a lot and earn a lot more. Well, of course, I’m not saying that EVERY lecturer teaching at private colleges sucks. But there are many of them, especially those who conduct Pre U lectures and programs. The stories of my friends experience at Private Collges doing Pre University programs DOES make sense. The number of Pre University programs students, mostly SPM graduates, are demanding even more teaching forces. It is not surprising that colleges that offer you 'scholarships' to do Pre U programs NOT being able to hire top quality lecturers.



Facility?

How much better the facilities a rich Taukeh of a private college can offer you compared to what our GOVERNMENT can give you?

Some people say Nilai Inti is super big..The area is super large, the facilities are super new. But hey, it is still smaller than UKM, UPM , UMS, UniMas ok? Government spent millions of ringgit each year to support EACH local university. Grants for research purposes worth millions of ringgits are poured into local public uni by the government to make sure that students of local uni receive the best. What about private colleges? Do you want me to believe that a super large private college can afford state-of-the-art technologies for education purposes?

Wake up wake up, private college is an INDUSTRY; it has little to do with education!

Low Cost ( cheap manpower, cheap facilities)
High income ( of course get tuition fees from you lar)
= Industry of Private education. Accept it. It’s a fact that its an INDUSTRY.


College life?

When a private college tries to cut cost, do you think they will fund any extracurricular student activities? Big projects or vital research? Unless they're sponsored by government or overseas governments like AIMST University and Nottingham (Nottingham's suckks money though!)

The answer is a BIG NO.

So, what’s about college life besides studying?
Clubbing loh! Dota loh! Somemore? Internet café lor! If not, shopping loh!

Is this the “college life” you are really looking forward to enjoy?
I want to stress here that I do not mean ALL private college students will go clubbing or drinking or smoking or whatever it is, but SPM graduates who are still very young TEND TO get distracted by all these things in places like KL or Shah Alam. Even in Penang, some of my friends become kaki clubbing, and before that, they were nerdssssss at schools.

I must admit there are a few colleges/private universities which are in close collaboration with the government, and they're doing quite well for particular fields ONLY, not all, and not most of them. IMU is famous for its medicine and pharmacy studies, AIMST is famous for its top-class facilities for medical studies, for example. However, these are only for degrees, remember that Pre U programs in private colleges certainly do not offer enough of knowledge, quality experience and fun that a student supposed to have.


I know, that Pre U programs in private colleges has become so popular among SMJK students, that even those UMNO faggots claimed that private colleges are custom-made for non bumiputras.. So according to their reasoning, non bumiputras should not make noise when UiTM offer places for Indonesian but NOT for Chinese and Indians. See how ridiculous things have become? Tell them that we all are Malaysians, we want to get into local public universities!

You can voice out to the government by actions, studying in government institution and fighting to get into public universities. We want our share as Malaysians, in every course at every public university.

Why is STPM a Phobia to SPM Graduates?


This article is written regarding the drastic decrease in the popularity of STPM as the choice for SPM graduates to further their studies.



STPM. Why STPM?

Is it hard? Is it easy to pass?
Do we gain alot of knowledge in STPM studies?

But one thing for sure, STPM is longer in the wish-list of SPM graduates like before. It has become a phobia to so many nowadays that the number of STPM students throughout the country has dropped significantly in these few years of time. Why is this happening? We shall look into this problem to its root of the problem, and whether you agree with me or not, all these I'm about to say are the facts.

If you listen to your dad or mom, for those who were well educated, they will boast how hard it was to sit for HSC(High School Certificate, now STPM); and for those who did not receive much education due to bad times years ago, they'll encourage the new generation to go for STPM. Some called it the " 11th Class". We have seen so many seniors especially from SMJKs like Jit Sin, Chung Ling, Sam Tek, producing top scholars every year, and the number of students scoring a 4 flat results (4.0 CGPA) had never stopped rising by each year. And of course, that doesnt mean that excellent results in STPM is easy to score.

Just a few years before I entered secondary school, our STPM seniors were still taking 5 subjects, in this case, science student would be required to register for Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Pengajian Am. Now, only 4 subjects are made compulsory for the 'regular' science or commerce students. When I was so small that I didnt even know what STPM is, I had heard people wishing to get into STPM, but not until the industry of Private Colleges started to blossom.

The reason is simple, because government would not support non-bumiputra student in any other means besides STPM. MARA colleges, UiTM, Matrikulasi, MARA scholarships and even JPA scholarships are heavily 'protected' by the quota system. To me the quota system has already crippled our education system because there is not a healthy competition among new generations. Although not all, I can say most of the qualified non-bumiputra students are indirectly being 'filtered out' from the local university even before they manage to enter Pre University round. The only option our seniors had then was STPM. STPM is hard, at least, for me and my cohort as science students in form six. That is a fact. That is why Matrikulasi is there to 'educate' bumiputra students so that they can secure a place in the local university Without having to compete with STPM students.

All along students have struggled so hard to pass STPM. I'm not being boastful or what, but STPM is practically one of the hardest Pre university exam available in Malaysia, if not in the world. You can do a very simple comparison between the syllabus of STPM and the syllabus of ANY OTHER PRE U Program, AND, dont forget to try out the actual STPM papers as well.

In the midst of fear for not being able to score well in STPM, (so that to get into university eventually), private colleges came into 'rescue'.

KDU, Inti, Sedaya, Taylor, UTAR, PSDC, IMU, AIMST, Binary, Curtin Sarawak, Nottingham, Disted-Stamford..... These are only the BIG ones. What about hundreds of other 'micro-colleges'? Why the heck does Malaysia needs this number of private colleges? Who are these colleges catering for if not Malaysians? It was just recently that these private colleges started to enjoy rising popularity among oversea-rich-kids-from-saudi-china-and-africa. That is also another reason why big colleges like KDU and Inti can afford to set up their branches in a few states in Malaysia.

These colleges are practically squeezing money out of the desperate SPM graduates who certainly didnt want to study STPM, and did not have any other alternatives to further their studies through government institution. These SPM graduates mostly consist of non-bumiputras, and they have only two choices, STPM or private colleges. Few had the chance to make it into Matrikulasi or to get JPA scholarships that offer only 10% of its places to non-bumiputras. UiTM? Forget about it. It’s for Indonesians and bumiputras only.

For your information, critical courses in local universities like Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy have LESS than 10 % of STPM graduates in each of the courses. Believe it.It's a FACT.

Instead of gambling their future by studying form six that is a lot harder compared to their competitors like MARA college and Matrikulasi, many opted for private colleges in order to pursue their dreams. But sadly, not every parents are rich enough to do that. And obviously NOT EVERYONE who went to private colleges knew that their future holds. I'm sure that, many college students overestimated what their private colleges can fulfill them.

Why is that SPM graduates seem to resist STPM so much? And why has the number of STPM students steadily decrease every single year? WHY.

I presume that you and I knew who the culprit is.

Still don’t get it? Besides the government’s effort to sideline STPM graduates, another obvious factor is the booming of Private College Industry.

Former Deputy CM of Penang Resigns

The ex-deputy Chief Minister of Penang has finally issued his resignation letter from his state representative (ADUN) post, which is effective on 16th April 2009.

Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin also said in the official statement that his resignation is due to his plan to continue his further study and also to "clean" himself of the corruption allegations.

This would mean another by-election in Penanti within 60 days' time.

What's After SPM? Your Stories Are NEEDED!

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 30th April 2009!

Project What's After SPM: A Hundred Different Journeys

One book. One hundred stories.
For you. For hundreds of thousands of Malaysian youths.
(Yes you heard that right - hundreds of thousands of readers!)

For most of us, the end of secondary school education (or the lack of it) marked a turning point in our lives where we moved from studying together under an umbrella education system (SPM) to embarking upon vastly different pathways.

The transition process for the more fortunate among us would no doubt have been aided by the various resources made available to us: school counselors, advice from worried parents and knowledgeable seniors, counsel from helpful relatives, visits to campus open day sessions, mountainous stacks of college brochures, education sections in local newspapers, education resource websites etc.

The same, however, cannot be said of hundreds of thousands of kids all over Malaysia who have no regular access to the internet, are not blessed with well-informed family and friends, and who complete secondary school with little or almost no awareness of the opportunities that abound for them, as well as kids who are simply ignorant of the opportunities that surround them or just do not possess the faith and self-confidence to pursue their passions.

Therefore, we have decided to spearhead this project in hopes of reaching those kids and sending them this message: "Look, kids, now that you have completed secondary school, there are a million opportunities out there for you, a million pathways that you can undertake, a million places to visit, and you should explore those choices as much as you can. You can do anything you set your mind to. All it takes is keyakinan, a little bit of strategi, a little bit of tuah, and lots and lots of semangat dan usaha."

We are now looking for a plethoric collection of stories of young Malaysians who have pursued different pathways after SPM. The stories will be published in a book to be distributed to as many students and secondary schools as possible (tentative target: to distribute at least 2 books to each of the 5000 secondary schools in Malaysia). And we would like to invite you to participate in this project by submitting your story, or persuading your friends to submit their stories.

It does not matter whether you are a scholar with stellar results and a 3-inch thick resume, a typical student who went to a local university after finishing Form 6, or a youth who has to work in the pasar malam at night to foot your technical college fees in the day. It does not matter whether you have chosen the oft-beaten path or the road less travelled. We believe that there every education background offers its own boons and banes. And we believe that there are merits in telling any story.


Topics

Participants may touch on all or concentrate on a few of the following topics:

(a) What socioeconomic/education background did you come from and how did it contribute towards making you the person that you are today?

(b) What obstacles did you face in pursuing tertiary education and how did you overcome those obstacles?

(c) What prompted/who inspired you to pursue the pathway that you have undertaken/are currently undertaking?

(d) How did you find out about the pathway that you have undertaken/ are currently undertaking?

(e) What are the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing the pathway that you have taken/are currently undertaking?

(f) If you have had had a unique education background, please elaborate on your unusual circumstances (Examples: kampung boy who ended up in Yale University/home-schooled girl who faced difficulty persuading university admissions officers to admit her/student who pursued cosmological astrophysics at Cambridge under the prestigious Gates Scholarship/teenager who dropped out of school and pursued full-time modelling/youth who took a gap year after SPM to participate in humanitarian missions in Tibet/boy who has worked as a professional computer hacker since age 14/youth who entered a seminary to pursue priesthood/student who designed a new degree course at Smith College).

(g) If you have succeeded in securing a rare/prestigious scholarship/ undergone a rigorous university application process (Examples: Kofi Annan International Scholarship), please elaborate on the application process.

(h) What advice would you give to someone who hopes to pursue the same pathway that you have undertaken/are currently undertaking?

(i) How was the experience at your previous/current place of study and how has it changed your life? If you have had a non-academic pursuit (s) (establishing your own restaurant/working full-time as a social worker etc), how has your pursuit impacted other people?

(j) Is there any other issue regarding post-SPM education that you wish to discuss? What other pertinent advice would you give to someone who is about to complete SPM/secondary school?

Reminder: Remember that the purpose of writing your story is not to flaunt your achievements, but to share your unique experiences with your readers. as you write, rememebr to try to retain the relevancy between your experience and the reader's interest.

Blogger's comment on QuanSheng.org

I would strong recommend any STPM or Matriculation graduates who have just received their results, to visit QuanSheng Counseling Service for any inquiries or doubt about getting your desired course in Local University.

This website has been established in year 1989, providing thousands of STPM graduates with all the information they need about getting into Local University. This includes statistics of the scores or CGPA a non-bumiputra student needs to achieve in order to get a course they want. Although these info are only for reference and are NOT official data from the local uni itself, it reflects a pretty accurate reality of what has been happening all these years.

As everyone knows, STPM is a tough course, and not many can manage to score well in the end. STPM students, especially non-bumiputras, have to compete with hundreds of 4.0CGPA scorers from Matrikulasi and Mara, and hence, there is a unfair yet existing comepetition going on every year. Personally, the main aim of this website is to feed STPM graduates with facts and reality they NEED TO KNOW before making their choices and decisions on what university or course to choose eventually.

Another interesting features about QuanSheng.org is that it has got many links to various type of scholarships(government, private sector, non-profit organisation, state government), and also the links to official websites of all the local universities in Malaysia. Besides, the interactive forum and news updates will give you a chance to speak out your problems and at the same time sharing it with thousands of local university applicants across the country.

Contacts of representatives from most of the local university will be provided(phone number and emails) so that students with any questions regarding a particular university can have a reliable first hand information from a senior.

CLICK HERE TO ENTER QUANSHENG.ORG


Please bear in mind this website is for reference purpose only, and it may provide you with plenty of reliable information regarding local university, but in the end, you're the one that has to make up your own mind and move forward.

Good luck to all! ;)

Khir Toyo Sounds FISHY

Instead of standing out against privacy invasion on Elizabeth Wong recently, Khir Toyo, the ex Menteri Besar put more pressure on the victim to resign from her current post.

Khir Toyo was infamous for his false allegation against Teresa Kwok, and had incited riots and protest against Teresa last year. Khir also spread false rumours through Utusan that has undermined the foundation unity of Malaysians. He manipulated issues on Islam, Race, and now SEX, to put somebody into trouble.

His defamation towards Teresa Kwok had caused enough hurt and anger to the people, and now he sounds a little bit fishy by urging Elizabeth Wong to resign regarding the nude photos issue.

Khir looks like a teddy bear, physically, but the heart stinks like rotten fish.

Najib Proved Himself a Corrupt PM-to-be

Can we trust this man to rule Malaysia?

I mentioned in the last posting that Najib would do anything to lure Pakatan Rakyat's state assemblymen to cross over, by any form or way, even though it may cost us the people a very expensive price tag.

Three Pakatan Rakyat's state assemblymen have voiced out their support for Barisan Nasional yesterday, after being approached by Najib.


Somebody sent Saiful to throw false allegations on Anwar's court case.


If Najib can bribe voters and even reporters in Kuala Terengganu by-election using taxpayer's cash, why not these three?

Najib may be able to win Perak back to Barisan Nasional, but he sold his very last dignity left for him to be our Prime Minister in the future.

Being involved in Altantuya murder case and many other corruption allegations, espcially in firearm deals, this man is nothing less than a bribed and corrupted racist like his father, Razak.

Remember how his powercrazy father get to become the second PM of Malaysia? Plotted racial clash then followed by forcing Abdul Rahman of his seat, lawlessly.

Malaysians will never forget all these stinking records of your family, we will neither forgive them.

Najib's wife has been exposed that she shipped back all her luxuries during a shopping spree in UK by MAS, at the expense of Malaysian Embassy in London.

Thousands of ringgits spent in each shopping overseas, this is the
successful and laudable outcome of Dasar Ekonomi Baru(NEP).

Two By-elections in 60 Days

Two state seats of Perak have been left vacant today after the State Speaker, Sivakumar received resignation letters from both Behrang and Changkat Jering state assemblymen.

Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu and Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi were earlier involved in a bribery and sex scandal and were said to have been approached by Najib (Barisan Nasional), and being offered a chance to clean themselves of the serious court charges.

This is perhaps the one last chance for Barisan Nasional to seize down two state seats from Pakatan Rakyat following the rumours of more UMNO assemblymen to cross-over to the ruling party of Perak.

These two fellas could have been given two choices by Barisan Nasional, one to crossover to BN, another one which is to create by-elections by resigning from their current political posts.
The federal government obviously has nothing at all to lose, and this outcome of this incident might favour Barisan Nasional MORE as they will, again, use hundreds of millions ringgit of taxpayers money, and injecting them into these by-elections like what they had done in Kuala Terengganu.

They might even bribed the reporters or voters once more, this time maybe with even more money and "gifts" or " incentives". Who knows what a mad dog would do next right?

Nasarudin Joins Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)

The cross-over of ADUN Bota(Perak), Nasarudin from UMNO to PKR has been confirmed in Anwar Ibrahim's blog today, after the former UMNO member posted a press address for immediate release to the media, publicly.

This cross-over has led Pakatan Rakyat to further strengthen their authority with 32 state seats, after a period of uncertainty whether they could still hold on in Perak, and Barisan Nasional 27 seats.

The below is the statement claimed to be written by Dato Nasarudin himself, as posted in Anwar's Blog.

DATO NASARUDIN BIN HASHIM

ADUN BOTA NEGERI PERAK

—PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—

PETALING JAYA, 25 JANUARI 2009

Assalamualaikum,

After taking into consideration the development of the political atmosphere, specifically the direction of the public’s support since the 12th General Election in March 2008, and also the condition that exists now in Umno and its leadership, I have taken the decision to leave Umno and join PKR, one of the parties in Pakatan Rakyat, effective today.

This decision has been taken after a long study and consideration of the public’s interest in general, especially my supporters and voters in the state assembly area of Bota.

1. I am very confident in the leadership of PKR that has the will and strong idealism to fight for the rights and interest of the multiracial public in this country.

2. I am confident that PKR will uphold and respect the rights that are enshrined in the Federal Constitution especially the position of Bahasa Malaysia as the official language, the sovereignty of the Malay rulers and the position of Islam as the official religion.

3. I believe that PKR and its partners in Pakatan Rakyat can establish a stronger coalition of component parties for the interest of the general public.

4. This will enable me to be a more effective assemblyman and to offer the best service to the local residents, seeing as Pakatan Rakyat has already established government in Perak.

Barbarians in Malaysia

Satu Lagi Demonstrasi Di Bawah Kebenaran Barisan Nasional.
At Masjid Tanah, Melaka. 2008.
No police. No force. Only "Peace". :)

I suggest these people in the photos love Siew Bak/ Char siew, that is probably what they're trying to do with the poor pigs.
By the way, where are the Police to disperse these racists?
WHere is the law enforcement?
WHERE THE FUCK IS I.S.A? WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT?

If you ever wonder why I said Malaysian Government is RACIST, please, take a look at these photos. They were taken at Masjid Tanah, Melaka recently, in a "mass demonstration" against the pig farms around that areas. Where are all the jackass policemen? Where is Musa Hassan? Where the shit did you hide?

These people thought Pigs are rared and raised in Chinese and Tamil School. They learned this from their schools that "promotes integration among Malaysians".
That is why they want Chinese and Tamil schools to be shut down.


And yea, these people LOVEEEEEE relating Pigs to themselves. Dont ask me, I dont know why.
When people rare pigs, they say those people are bad people.
When people eat pigs, they say those people are not halal.
When people love pigs, they say those people tak bersih(not clean).


BUT, WHO CREATED PIGS IN THE FIRST PLACE? Then you gotta ask these racists about that. They'll probably hate him/her too.


Well, these morons can't even get the facts right. Their school teachers taught them that Malayan Union is our independence day; and so, they claim that non-malays are traitors. I dont remember my teachers teaching me how to hate others like their teachers did.

I believe these are merely some stupid actions by a tiny part of people of our Malaysian population, but they're the ones who often cause turbulences and distrust among Malaysians, just like Ah-Mad Ismail. Mad!





Who "touched" your "ketuanan"? Did the pigs do that to your "ketuanan"? Is that why you people came out marching on the street?
Non-malays NEVER fought for DEAD BODIES to be BURIED in non-malays graveyards.

This banner reads " Because the PIGS scattered around, and Malays are fighting for powers, The master became the servants, and Malays suffer the most".
Because of PIGS they become servants
Because of PIGS they suffer
What do you mean huh?

The upper banner reads " Pigs Pigs Pigs, Malays are being sold because caring for pig-eaters"
The lower banner suggests that they wanna become richer, quicker! Wow! No wonder these demonstrators love skim cepat kaya!

We eat pigs, yes we do. And we NEVER INTEND TO FORCE ANYBODY TO EAT PORK, allright?

* No offence to All Malays and Muslims. These stupid acts are of a FEW people only.*

Bad Cop



My comments on the issue whereby policemen injured a young man by brutally hitting him, has been published in Vox Populi in Malaysiakini.

Kind of excited because for the first time, I voiced out in that website.



And at the same time, I would like to express my resentment on how the government is abusing their rights to exert control over the police forces.

Manikavasagam, you're free to go, anywhere.

It's tiring to see a small number of the opposition party MPs threatening to leave their parties since 308.

Perak Opposition MPs used to have such problems before this, but have already been settled. And each time those people bark around wanting to leave their parties, believe me, they're just acting around. They're like threatening their boss for not giving them enough benefits I guess?

Excuse has been given by Manika why he wanted to quit PKR, through The Star. But you see, The Star has always been a government-controlled press that has just proven so in the recent KitSiang-TeeKiat issue. The Star had obviously sided Barisan Nasional(TeeKiat) by reporting the reply from the MInister, while had totally filtered out replies from KitSiang(DAP).

Manikam could have been presuaded by BN already to create tension among Pakatan Rakyat's members. That is another reason why this fella is using The Star as a medium to "voice out" his "point of views".

Two possibilities here,
1. Manikam quit Pakatan Rakyat and join Barisan Nasional immediately,and be given a post.

2. Most probably, he wont move a step away from his party at all !

So, I'll be waiting here and see, where will you be going Mr Manika.

Zaid Ibrahim Sacked

Latest updates from UMNO supreme council; the resigned ex-minister Zaid Ibrahim has been sacked from the party after attending KeAdiLan's party gathering last Saturday. Besides, Zaid had also written a letter to Prime Minister, Abdullah Badawi earlier to urge the government to abolish ISA. UMNO considered these rebellious acts as unacceptable actions and hence, Zaid is now officially sacked from UMNO. The decision made my UMNO supreme council is final and cannot be appealed.


Other than that, Zahar Hashim, the head of UMNO Petaling Jaya Selatan division was ordered to have his party membership frozen for 3 years, but without proper reasons why he deserves such punishments.

Zahar Hashim was responsible for uncovering Najib's suspicious EuroCopter deal which had cost government to pay more for the machines. Besides Zahar had also reported to the Anti-corruption Agency on Prime Minister Abdullah abuse of power in the party election.


Mukhriz suggested that Chinese and Tamil schools should be closed down and replaced with SMK. He has reveal his true color which is no difference from his Daddy, Mahathir who had implemented racist policies throughout his regin before PM Abdullah Badawi took over his place as UMNO president. Say No to Racism. Say no to Mahathir ! Say no to UMNO!


Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa perlembagaan itu tidak boleh dicabar oleh sesiapa pun. Melayu memiliki Hak Keistimewaan dan bukannya Ketuanan. Kaum-kaum lain pula memiliki hak kerakyatan dan hak-hak asasi mereka.

Tiada apa-apa pun daripada kenyataan di atas boleh dipersoalkan.
