Scholarship Woes Revisited

Anisah recounted on her blog her experience of applying for a scholarship from the Public Service Department (PSD) for a place in Medicine. She scored 7 A1s and 4 A2s and she:

knew by way of not getting a reply, not even a reply from PSD to explain that I’ve applied for a scholarship which I was not eligible for, not even an offer to do something else than medicine. Nothing, no communication at all.

Read her blog to find out more about her experience and the impact of rejection on her. She also made an interesting note:

I bought a PSD form to apply for scholarships because my household income then was RM1,200... On the form, it was clearly printed that PSD scholarships to do medicine are only available to Bumiputera applicants.

Can anyone confirm that is actually true? That PSD scholarships to do medicine is clearly printed as only available to Bumiputera applicants? Or is it something of the 'past'? Hmmm...
