Lately, or more like all the time, people always talk about the distribution of PSD scholarships and the grading system for SPM. What this guy by the name of Alex from Miri wrote is something I fully with. I'm not sure if he used to live in my apartment (which will mean that he's an MCKL guy) but I just feel so disgusted when some people I know get or don't get the scholarship. It's about time someone writes something like this. No offense, but I think that the Government has no idea how to grade students. The supposed A+ system has failed. It has not raised the standard of SPM, but made it worse. People seem to be getting A+s like A1s before that. A lot of people I know do fairly average in school exams. But when it comes to SPM, they score a string of As thanks to the ineffective grading system. Some do well. Some do not. Those who don't end up retaking a year, or sent somewhere else of lower standard so that they can pass. What a waste of taxpayers money! Not to mention what a f***ing disgrace they are. Do they not know how much taxpayers money that they are wasting? A lot of people I know who do well in school doesn't mean that they can do well in their tertiary education. It's a completely different environment. I know a few who did amazingly well for SPM, but once they did A Levels getting an A for just one subject seems like a chore. Sadly, this does happen, though not very often, for JPA scholars. I'm not a bright student. I might not have the right to criticize high achievers. However, it makes me so angry that one day I'll be paying taxes and eventually funding people like these to further their studies. In Nottingham University, Chong Ren told me that the minimum average to maintain the High Achievers Scholarship given by the university is 65%. However, JPA scholars only need to maintain an average of 45%. That's not as bad. For those who study abroad, scholars who fail do not have their scholarships revoked. Instead, they are allowed a second chance by retaking.

Wake up Malaysia!!!

The way forward is to revoke their scholarships so that we can move forward and fund people who truly deserve it. We are suffering from inflation in Malaysia and might soon end up as a country that is bankrupt.

Another thing that bothers me is the distribution of scholarships to study in private colleges. Has the government themselves lost faith in the public universities? They money they spend overseas will benefit the world and not us. Whereas the money spent on private colleges will hardly benefit the country as many go abroad to make a better living. If only the Government had spent money on public universities instead of wasting it on nonsensical and petty things like this, I'm sure that the standard of public universities will be much higher now than their current state.

What a disgrace. You politicians think that we're better than America. But you're both about the same.

Sorry.... What I wrote was supposed to be for another post. Not that I editted out something.
