Gerakan’s acting president Koh Tsu Koon appears to disagree with MIC’s Dr S.Subramaniam on the criteria for awarding JPA scholarships. He gives the following scenario:

A student from a poor family scores 9As in his examinations while another from a rich family scores 11As.

If there was only one scholarship available, which student should be given it?

Koh said the government should check the backgrounds of the two students, instead of focusing on academic achievements when granting scholarships.

However, Koh agrees with the 55:45 allocation, which is fast becoming a point of contention.

What is your answer to Koh’s scenario?
