Comments for Govt scholarship ratio sparks shouting match at http://www.malaysianbar.org.my , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.malaysianbar.org.my Sat, 10 Jan 2009 08:05:50 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/legal/general_news/govt_scholarship_ratio_sparks_shouting_match.html#pc_7352 My Addendum, Datuk Tajuddin, the Barisan Member of Parliament for Pasir Salak, should not be so selfish and shallow minded, nor lacking in the needed grey matter. It is surprising that even, as a "Datuk", he cannot even think straight. Does he know it or not that the ECONOMIC CAKE HAS NO STATED NOR LIMITED SIZE? It is therefore, his duty, and the duties of all other members of Parliament, over and above any Malaysian, - to work towards attracting foreign investments and increasing the size of our national economic CAKE. Otherwise, even as a Member of Parliament he does not deserve to receive his monthly portion of our national wealth, that is, a portion of our national cake - which goes towards supporting him and his family/families! Mr MBW, kindly combine both my comments and forward the same to the New Straits Times and request them to publish it. Thank you.

If there is any MEMBER OF PARTLIAMENT or ADUN who has achieved this feat, he or she should now stand out and be counted, and be encouraged to say "Yes, I am one of the top scorers". Otherwise, all MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT or ADUNs ought to be more reasonable towards the top scorers - unless they have no 'reason' but only 'race' in mind. If so, they ought to be put in the mud, and not be allowed to represent any Malaysian! The question here, therefore, is not one of 'race, religion, nor economic status'. It is the case of the nation's duty in providing the necessary financial assistance so as to encourage and boost the development of our very own NATURAL, NATIONAL and HUMAN RESOURCES - for the sake of our emphasis on the future enhancement of our very natural, national, human resources to boost our GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTs. Who now, can say that the GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTs and INCOMEs ARE UNIMPORTANT TO OUR OWN COUNTRY? Do not be hypocrites. On the one hand the Member of Parliament will say : "Oh, I love my country". However, on the other hand, he simply throws away such 'golden products born within our own lands' to other countries! This shows recklessness and irresponsibilities; and we certainly can do without electing them again! Therefore, "pick our golds, and stay them within our folds!"

I am strongly for the view that scholarships (tax payer's money) should benefit the poor but bright student. It can be given to bumiputera as it is not an issue, but if it involves putting aside other more deserving candidate, how are we moving forward? Other countries are willing to give scholarship to our students because its a fruitful investment and why can't Malaysia do the same? I guess to Tajuddin, playing the race card will give him the popularity as a warrior that champion bumiputera rights. To me, he is just thinking with his a**.

The authorities could say that as high as 75% of the scholarships are only for Bumiputras, but it's not very good for the poor Bumis in our country either, if the majority of it goes to UMNO family members, relatives, cronies and those who don't need the aid.

To call him a 'kampung' politician is an insult to kampung folk. On the other hand we can't really blame him, after all even a 23 year old university drop out can get direct access to the DPM for a 'scholarship'...
