If our education system is good then we won't have our students going across the causeway to Singapore.It should be the other way round.

The state of higher education in Malaysia is just pathetic. You have so many graduates walking in the streets that they decided to form an association called The Unemployed Malay Graduates. Their objective is to stir the racial hot pot in the country. Why? Because they are unemployed and had nothing to do and this is excitement for them to stir the hot pot.

Give my children a seat and full scholarship for the local University. I will still refuse to send them there with the current pathetic state of our universities.

As long as the top non-bumi have to slog for the small number of seats allocated and find themselves rejected by the majority, and we also find that lower entry grades are admitted for bumi by the thousands, you will find the local university standards going down. When the system does not give credit to merit but give face only to race, we will be in the sewers. See UiTM, what standards. Compare with ivy league and OxCam.

This is Malaysia Bodohland!

Thats a plan which should have been put into operation 50 yrs ago. Instead Malaysian education has moved in the opposite direction

To think that overnight you will overcome the effects of 50 yrs of deliberate neglect is about as realistic as thinking that the Koran is due for a rewrite

When entry into our Universities is not based on merits, what do you expect the results to be?

"Higher education" hahaha. i nearly die laughing.

I strongly agree with ahmadneil,we must send our kids abroad to study. Our university can even make Top 100 ranking!. University in our neighbouring countries over took us in terms of ranking.

Education minister should be put to shame.

Question : Guess where the children of the Education Minister study?
Answer : in a private school in Cheras.
Question : Why in Private school? No confidence in our public school?

Figure it out
