Re: Royal Commission of Enquiry on top Indian students denied JPA Scholarship, Matriculation & University Intake for 2010.
Datuk Seri,
We wish to bring to your attention Article 12 of the Federal Constitution – rights in respect of education. 12(1) read, "without prejudice to the generality of Article 8, there shall be no discrimination against any citizen on the grounds only of religion, race and descent of place of birth."
Year in year out for past 30 years, thousands of excelling Malaysian Indian students are denied JPA scholarships, Matriculation & University intake. Your goodself’s policy of we are one in a OneMalaysia, but brilliant Indian students are denied from becoming professional and reputable citizens who would take Malaysia into the international arena. In any part of the world scholarships are given by the government without fail but only in OneMalaysia is this discrimination against Indians going on and on.
Prahsanna, ever since her childhood days she grew up with an ambition to become a doctor. Parents, teachers and the community leaders motivated her to pursue medicine and shine in her academic qualifications. She took up the challenge. She worked hard day and night and proved she is capable of achieving her ambition of becoming a doctor by scoring 11As. However her dreams were shattered when her applications to enter Matriculation, Local Universities and JPA scholarship were turndown without any reasons. And when she approached the Putra Jaya officials she was told to drop her ambitions! How would a sober person justify this! Her father is a retiree and her mother is a housewife. Who would help this young achiever’s dream come true if not the government?
Malay Muslim students from Pair Salak MRSM who scored 7 Ds and 8 Es managed to secure a place in Matriculations, whereas Menaka who scored 8As from the same college is rejected. She is now like a beggar knocking every government agencies’ door to get mercy. Is this the OneMalaysia concepts Prime Minister Najib is advocating?
About 7,600 students were identified as “Excellent Students” or “ Pelajar Cemerlang" upon SPM the results being announced this year. There are about 50,000 Matriculation seats available. Surely all 7,600 students should secure places in matriculation first!
These cases are only the tip of iceberg. We are receiving calls from all over the country and we estimate there are about 300 such disappointed high achievers. Most of them are waiting to see if their appeal will be answered favoring them on the 4th June 2010.
Human Rights Party demands your goodself to set up Royal Commission of Inquiry under Article 93 of the Federal Constitution:-
93) Inquiries, surveys and statistics.
(1) The Federal Government may conduct such inquiries by Commission, authorize such surveys and collect and publish such statistic.
Article 93 read together with the Commission of Enquiry Act, 1950 (Act 119) – An Act to make provision for the holding of commissions of enquiry.
Act 119(2) Issue of Commissions.
(1) The Yang di-Pertuan Agong may, where it appears to him to be expedient so to do, issue a Commission appointing one of more Commissioners and authorizing the Commission to enquire into:-
(a) The conduct of any federal officer:
(b) The conduct or management of any department of the public service of the Federation:
(c) The conduct or management of any public institutions
(d) Any other matter in which an enquiry would, in the opinion of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, be for the public welfare
We look forward to a Royal Commission to be established with in a week as it is a matter of urgency. We look forward to your reply on this critical issue.
Yours sincerely,
