Well, from my point of view..
its just another political games.

I think that in the current situation, lets us conserve some sensitive issues. Its just only create a huge gap between each other.

^Agreed, I was merely asking for opinions, no worries Smile

Isn't UiTM under MARA? Where does their money come from? I'm always confused :/

Yup..
UiTM is under MARA.
Both MARA and UiTM is supported by the government of course.

Oh I see...I think I'd rather leave UiTM as it is, open more places for scholarships & other public universities for the non-malays. The idea that having non-malays to bring in competition is silly if you're just going to have 10% of non-malays coming in...It's already doing fine, don't you think?

id had enough of being rejected for so many times for so many scholarships even though i fared way better than my malay friends who received scholarships furthering their studies in the UK and the US. and even worse, i ended up in form six. all of them happened to hav the chance to jump fence and further their studies abroad but never appreciated that privilege and ended up flunking in their studies over there. i really dunno what to say..well such is life here in MALAYSIA..so much for a country that prides itself as a multi-racial country practising democracy and mutual tolerance and wanting to create a BANGSA MALAYSIA(MALAYSIAN NATION)

i always thot of myself as a TRUE MALAYSIAN. i criticized chinese who didnt speak fluent BM. i criticized my dad who'd always favor china over malaysia. i criticized those non-malays who were against the idea of malay's special rights. i criticized SUQIU who were against the idea of SEKOLAH WAWASAN. i criticized lim kit siang for his malaysian malaysia vision. i criticized the idea of having chinese vernacular schools and that they did not instill the sense of patriotism among the chinese students. i was totally against any vernacular schools and hoped for all to attend national schools. but that all took a sharp 360degree turn after having experienced the heartwrenching rejection by the country that i obviously had always looked up to all those times. and i got the feeling that i was nowhere near to being a TRUE MALAYSIAN. I speak fluent BM. ppl wud always mistake me as a malay. but what did that give me in return? a total of FIVE rejections while my malay friend received TWO offers in which he quit halfway on one of the offers? id learned my tough lessons on this one, that me being patriotic, always stood up straight when NEGARAKU was played, always took pride in BM, always wanted to contribute sth to MALAYSIA, always thot that this was my home DO NOT help in telling the malays that im truly malaysian and they DEFINITELY DO NOT help in obscuring my skin tone.

no racist remarks intended. i was only speaking my mind. sorry if anyone got offended.

Just remember one thing.
As long as you are born in Malaysia, follow the regulations..
you are a true Malaysians..

The things got complicated like this because there is someone who taking advantage of the situations or pull a trigger in the back...

^u really think so?? cuz ur not the only person i'd actually related this matter to...these ppl always tell me that if were a malay, i'd hav gotten the privilege FAIR AND SQUARE...gosh, i wonder if the usa ever had such quota, wud there be THE MULTIRACIAL USA in this world like now, or wud there be THE USA of only ONE RACE, THE WHITE USA!!!

u obviously hadnt the slightest idea of the feeling of being rejected and turned away!! when the person u trusted the most backstabbed u, then i'd guess u'd get what im saying...

p.s. r u hinting that im going against the law/constitution?

Maybe i don't know what is other races is thinking about the bumiputera special priviledge.

I think I would rather they give aid to those in need regardless of race/religion. 'Nuff said.

I don't mind leaving UiTM to Malays, not such an issue to me, I'd rather they open more places in other universities; I'm not sure how the status quo is in UiTM, if they REALLY need to create more competition among their students.
