Hmm….every year also same drama. One just have to search the Internet to see many cases of students from all races complaining about the rejection.

Why is there no solution for this problem? MIC’s Dr S.Subra suggesting automatic scholarship offer for those who get 10As and above. MCA and Gerakan still quiet as with opposition.

Transparency is the key here. People deserve to know why things happen as such. Then, they should be able to give feedback and rectify the errors or shortcomings. Unfortunately, information flow is not so free as it is worried that the public is not smart enough to understand things.

Not bad, an increase of  393% !!! From 12k to 47k application. Of course, the statistics won’t be complete without comparison of application from the privileged community. Also, breakdown of jobs applied, gender, qualification, age etc. Then, most importantly, the number of application successful by race, job, gender, age etc.

MIC Saravanan against Waytha passport revocation

MIC’s Saravanan have come out against the revocation of Waytha’s passport. I guess other MIC people will respond likewise soon.

So far, some people from Suhakam, Suaram, Aliran, and Hindraf lawyer have disagreed with the move to cancel Waytha’s passport. All are asking for reasons. In fact the move to revoke his passport most likely will backfire since Waytha applies for asylum, clearly indication political persecution. We can expect a few more drops in popularity status and international standings. The community prays that Waytha succeeds in getting his asylum.

Hmm…maybe next step is to revoke his citizenship. Well, anything can in Bolehland!

Dr S Subra supports automatic PSD scholarship offer

He is echoing what parents, students and many sane malaysian are asking, begging, cajoling for all this while. By making such a clear rule, it will serve as motivation for students, ensure transparency, and improve the perception of PSD in the eyes of the public.

Now, did the minister suggest this at the cabinet today? No point making press statement because the public can’t do much.

She was VP some time back, and after stepping down, no news in the media about her. Guess its time to move on (or jump ship?).
