Muhyiddin’s moronic solution to JPA scholarship crisis: Make everyone dumber!!

by Nathaniel Tan

First of all, Al-Fatihah to Ismail Yaacob, Kelantan ADUN :( Takziah kepada keluarga…

Secondly, Jenice Lee’s two day remand is horrifying. Maybe more on that later.

Right now, I wanted to note that Muhyiddin could probably win an award for stupidest idea ever. The Star:

Students sitting for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination may not be allowed to take as many subjects as they like in future to make the scholarship selection process fairer.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the Govern­ment might limit the number of subjects taken by students in the SPM for fairer Public Service Department (PSD) scholarship selection.

So this is his solution to the JPA scholarship crisis? By keeping people from achieving their full potential??

It’s almost like making people dumber to ‘level’ the playing field, which in turn, is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Worst of all, it does not solve the problem one teeny, little screwed up bit - except of course, on their damned political front. That problem = qualified students are not getting scholarships.

This way, the government only *looks* like it is solving the problem (since the max number of A’s are reduced), whereas in reality, the more qualified students are still not getting the aid they deserve.

Bullshit!!
