The truth is whatever enshrined in the NEP has been enforced since its inception.Those 50 yrs old now have been affected by it all their lives until now.I think what we should argue about is fair policies which have the consensus of both the majority and minority stakeholders. Then the policies are executed in a transparent manner with check and balance from all stakeholders so that they will acheive what are intended.Take for example 30% qouta in equity .How is it determined ? I remember there was a discrepancy between govt figure and that from an independent body.Another is quota for public universities enrolment.After 50 years,has it attained its intended result in terms of number/ratio of trained professionals.Needless to say the survey/study must be done in the most fair and transparent manner.

In the past,many chinese students could not get into public universities because they have to compete among themselves for the limited places due to qouta system.During those days I think tuition fees of some overseas universities were relatively cheaper and the students were allowed to work during free times to earn some money. So with perseverence and sacrifice on the part of the students and their families,they graduated from overseas institutions and some were gainfully employed and stayed on.
These days,competition for entrance into public universities is even more steep ;worse still many with good grades are not given courses of their choices not like in the past,i suppose due to different qouta system nowadays and absolutely non-transparent central selection process.Those left out have no choice but to enrol in local private universities.The fees are not cheap,understandably they are commercial undertakings out for profit.Due to great demand from those left out of public U,and because of monetary or other reasons these students prefer to stay back in Malaysia,private U mushrooming all over.Every one is happy and relieved to be able to pursue a course of his choice,albeit many and their families have to struggle financially to see them through.
But is there a match between graduation and employment, is anyone guess.The coming medical graduates is a case in point.Unfortunately majority of the degrees are only recognized locally,meaning they cannot work anywhere else except Malaysia!

Is what going on now just a procrastination of frustration of present day students? The agony is going to be worse upon graduation when many of them are burdened with repayment of loans and other family financial liabilities!
