Palanivel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Palanivel, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister\u2019s Department, said the 1,500 seats allocated for Indians would be filled by the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cGenerally, only 500 seats are allocated for Indians, but\u00a0Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak\u00a0has acceded to MIC\u2019s request for an additional 1,000 seats,\u201d he said yesterday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Palanivel said Indian students with excellent results but failed to obtain places in colleges could appeal to the Education Ministry and forward a copy to MIC.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thestar.com.my\/news\/story.asp?file=\/2012\/6\/17\/nation\/11497488&amp;sec=nation\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/thestar.com.my\/news\/story.asp?file=\/2012\/6\/17\/nation\/11497488&amp;sec=nation<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to MIC President as well, the full list of students will be released by MOE by end of June.

We want to know details and not just be told off with some token answers. \u00a0And MIC being self-appointed guardian of Indian community have a hard time living up to the new expectations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Which brings me to another issue &#8211; should we have a Indian deputy Education Minister?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Footnote: MIC says will ask for more place next year. My question: why not ask to streamline STPM\/Matriculation first. Saves lots of headache and cost, and provide a level\/just\/fair platform for all.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The MIC will request that the quota of Indian students in government matriculation colleges be increased next year, its president Datuk Seri G.
