JPA scholarship 2010
I have no children applying for this scholarship this year. It is none of my business whatsoever outcome it is. However, I closely followed the news in Malaysia Kini. One of the headlines attracted my attention last night.
It was announced that due to economic recession, JPA is giving out 1500 scolarships this year to the top scholars of SPM 2009. There are 214 students scoring full A+ and were supposed to be given one of the government scholarships. According to the sources, national scholarships are given to the top 30. However, what happened to the others? Why does the Government not give to the rest of 214 students?
In fact I was just wondering why my children's Alma Mater which registered a number of 30 JPA scholarship holders in the past has only 7 recipients this year. The students' results are still as excellent as the past years!!
This incidental event revealed the injustice of the people/department concerned which is going to ruin the harmony of the country. The selection has to be transparent and the recipient list has to be published to avoid any fraud or misuse of power in the decision of the recipients.
When 1Malaysia idea comes in, we are really hoping that we are Malaysians in identity and not classified us as bumis and non bumis in order to be given different treatments according to our ethnics.
