Just a short while ago a parent Madam Kalarani telephoned us to complain that she and her family and daughter Deborah Anne a/p John Philip are upset as despite having scored 13A in Science stream she was denied a JPA scholarship, Matriculation and University place or to peruse a medical degree or any other critical courses (See result slip below). And UMNO now tells us this young Indian student that she could appeal. But our point is how could and why should she be rejected in the first place with 13As’!
This is not the first time this is happening. At least 375 SPM high achieving students scored 8A1s (Tamil Nesan 12th July 2008, page 5) but did not get a scholarship. Remawathy the 6th best student in the country with 13As was denied a PSD scholarship (NST Focus 22nd July 2008, page 33). In fact this very same problem that is and has been recurring year in and year out in at least the last 35 years.
The fact that these people do not take their problems to BN parties but to HRP shows that they have lost faith with the government.
What do you call this if not UMNO racial discrimination of the highest order? This level of racism does not happen in any other part of the world except in Malay-sian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s One Malay-sia.
