Anwar, stop being generous, just be fair

The announcement from PMX guarantees that non-bumiputras will have a place in matriculation courses if they have 10 As. How many non-bumi have 10 As? What about 9/ 8As or 7 As

I feel sorry, especially for the poorer Indians and Chinese families. Ninety per cent of the places in Matriculation are already reserved for Bumis. Their children have to get 10As to qualify. Why can't this government be more sensible and fair to non-Malays? Could you not give them more places?

Is Anwar serious in talking about and understand the meaning of balancing meritocracy with the principle of justice as fairness?

No one will object if you give an everage students from ill equip and poor rural school into a well equip with best teacher and prepared them to take a unify univetsity entry exam (STPM or A level). But to give a 90% quoto with a lower university enter exam and then proudly announce to the whole world we already abolish quoto sysyem with meritrocracy system for university intake is institutionalisation of cheating.

Anwar, in a Facebook post today, said in a country which implements a system based on meritocracy, the government emphasised the importance of balancing meritocracy with the principle of justice as fairness, as expressed by Harvard scholar, John Rawls.

“This matter needs to be understood by some elite groups in the city, who talk loudly about meritocracy, but do not think whether it is fair to let students in Manik Urai or Kapit compete with students in Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) or Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Chung Ling, which are equipped with the best infrastructure.

He cautioned against implementing meritocracy without consideration for fairness, as the poor and marginalised will remain in such a state.

“This is ‘The Tyranny of Merit’ as argued by the American scholar, Michael Sandel,” he said.

As if the standard of higher learning is of high quality in Malaysia.
Stop bickering! Feel blessed that you are not selected for s*upid course in local universities. There is no value in the job market. Only the entitled, politically connected and privileged will get the job. Some employers are compelled to hire them for the sake of business contracts, licence and continuity. It is all about survival by selling the soul.
