Scholarships @ top overseas Universities. Indians excluded

For the 2010 National Budget RM 2.8 Billion was allocated for overseas and local Public Services Department (PSD) Scholarships (NST and The Star headlines 23/11/09).

Our estimate is that a mere 0.5% of the overseas scholarships, are given to the Indian to make them mere showcases and to create an impression that many Indians are getting these scholarships.

UMNO could direct their Higher Education Minister to publicise the list of recipients their names and the courses etc. But UMNO would not do it because the truth of the exclusion of the deserving Indians would surface.

This is yet another of UMNOs’ racist, religious extremist and supremacist policies that is no longer practiced in any other part of the world, the last having been in apartheid South Africa.
