Result too good also a bad thing???


面試官員:“讓成績不如你們的學生出國讀書”‧海外獎學金5優秀生落空
Translation à There are 5 students who score fly colors in SPM but failed to get scholarship to study overseas. This is the reason given by the interviewer of government’s scholarship: “Let those whose results are not as good as you all to pursue their studies in overseas”

It’s a big title on today Chinese newspaper (Malaysia). The students studied very hard, hoping to get top score so that they can pursue studies in overseas and achieve their ambitions and dreams, yet they failed to get scholarship and only a hurtful feedback for them “Let those whose results which lower than you to get the scholarship…” WHAT THE HELL (I’m so sorry. I never come out such word but this is really unacceptable)

Although government announced that this year will be 20% of scholarship quota given FAIRLY to those top score student despite races and background. But, the top score students in Melaka failed to get the scholarship. So, should we ask the next generation students don’t study to be top, just to be middle enough to get scholarship.

Friends whose result is 9A1 and 1B3 able to get scholarship to study overseas but a friend whose result is 10A1 + 1A2 failed to get because of her younger age. She was 16 years old as she passed PTS and was standard 3 “jump” to standard 5. I think our friends would know about what PTS is. Government conducted PTS test for few years and encourage those who brilliant to save 1 year of study in primary school and NOW reject people’s application because of people is not 17 years old. Luckily she get scholarship and loan from Singapore government to study in Singapore and she need to work in Singapore for 3 years after graduates. Will she back Malaysia in future? It’s hard to said so because is Singapore provides tertiary education for her instead of her home country, Malaysia.

There are many criticisms towards those who don’t want to back home country for working and contributions. You don’t want give chance to let them go study overseas and now you want them back to contribute their knowledge to you. It’s a satire…

There is an article in Singapore newspaper regarding different country education situation. Malaysia is described as “country which is EXPORTER of talents” Indeed, it is. Those people who never get any help from their home country, yet they get help by other countries during their down time, when they successful, will they contribute to the country which never lend a hand to them?

I hope that Malaysia government take actions in this issue, especially scholarship for non-Bumiputra(s) if they want talents back to Malaysia instead of blaming lack of talents or other country took their talents away.
