Excellent Grades, But Missed the Cut?

We have heard of many complaints with regards to Malaysian non-bumiputeras who have excellent grades but missed the cut for their preferred choices of courses and universities. A recent case was highlighted here, before the appeals process.

Well, if you are one such "unfortunate" student, particularly if you couldn't afford to pursue alternative private education in the course of your choice, then you are wanted. A friend of mine in the media is looking for you to do a feature study on the impact of Malaysia's affirmative action policy for bumiputeras.

Conversely, if you are a bumiputera graduate and have benefited from Malaysia's affirmative action policy, without which you would not have "made it", then you are wanted too to give your point of view too.

The interviews are likely to be conducted in the Klang Valley next week. Please email me if you are interested in having your say. Your identities will be protected should you prefer it as such. Here's a little chance to have your say, and do our small part in helping shape our future education policy for Malaysians. :)
