UEC recognition, enough baloney said

LETTER | I think we have had enough baloney being tossed around on issue pertaining to United Examination Certificate (UEC) recognition as one of the entrance qualifications for admission to public universities in this country.
It took a general election and a change of the federal government to get us some glimmer of hope for UEC to be recognised. But suddenly we are yet again faced with endless loads of baloney on why UEC should not be recognised.
UEC is now a "threat" to national unity, national culture, national language, national sovereignty, patriotism and a challenge to the single examination system of the country.
Never mind that for the last 60 years, while we had no recognition of UEC, we still had no national unity.
Never mind we have dual tracks examination system with matriculation on one hand and STPM on the other. Never mind we have Junior Science Colleges existing side by side with normal schools. Never mind we have English medium in certain schools and Malay medium in other schools.
What matters most is this baloney – UEC is now a threat to our single examination system. With UEC's recognition, it is as if the whole country education and examination system will collapse and die.
You know what; to me, it does not matter anymore whether UEC recognition is forthcoming or not. Malaysian public universities may ignore UEC qualification at their own peril.
UEC is not a threat or a challenge to anyone except to provide an additional avenue for our students to excel and compete globally, knowing that the national school system has been lackadaisical and anaemic. A school system is not just about language and medium of instruction. It is also the work culture, dynamism and worldview being imparted and inculcated.
To those who see threats from behind every shadow, it is time they look beyond the little pond they live in.
Just look at those who excel in Malaysia today, be they Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans and Dayaks - do they know only Bahasa Malaysia and with a worldview that is no more than a cocoon?
I think we have had enough debates already. The world is not going to wait for us further.

PH needs courage to pursue this thing....it is a test in courage more than any thing else.....
I think parents of UEC children got money set aside already for private U , so no difference.
but I can attest to this....that top students in National schools have a better childhood , a better more balanced upbringing than average students in UEC schools.

UEC like SPM recognize by oversea universties but you must sit for their entry examination first! Tell me, beside Taiwan, which US, Australia, Britain universities immediately give you entry with UEC alone!
========
private universities in Malaysia all recognise UEC...so is no big deal, UEC Form 6, One year compared to national schools Form 6, two years......similar to private universities foundation course all also one year.

The successful alumni of UEC system should declare themselves today. This will probably showed that this stream of education also produces great Malaysians.
Insist on a credit at least in BM for the UEC candidates and facilitate their future.
In any case, those who master three languages in Malaysia should do very well in the future. BM is widely used in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. English is useful in many regions. Chinese is useful in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and even in Japan. Those with Tamil language will be able to extend their reach to India.

rubbish thinking for sitting full spm papers loh....!!
Then what is the use of UEC qualification leh ??
Practical solution should be sit for bahasa spm & get credit loh...if govt is sincere of recognizing uec mah...!!
But even if the uec students got distinction and credit in spm bahasa malaysia, the ultra malays do not want to recognise uec loh...!!

Of course the best solution is for UEC students to sit for SPM if they really want to enter local public universities! Actually this has been going on for decades! But what Dong Zhong want is a no compromise UEC which means, they refuse UEC students to sit for Bahasa SPM papers! I mean dude, this issue is non issue if Dong Zhong would just skip all the fiasco for sake of national unity!
