Scholarships

This article has always been an agenda where Malaysians always keep at heart but are constantly unhappy of. Just as we thought the government is trying to give help to all races by providing scholarships to the needy ones after a poor showing in the elections, here comes the truth behind Jekyll's real image, Hyde.

Parliament: VIPs’ kids getting scholarships?

KUALA LUMPUR: The Prime Minister’s Department was queried if overseas scholarships were given to Ministers’ and Mentris Besar’s children despite not doing well in examinations.

Datuk Seri Abdul Ghapur Salleh (BN-Kalabakan) said he received information that VIPs’ children who did not deserve scholarships had their applications approved.

“I want to know if this is true and if it is true, why these children were given scholarships? They do not qualify,” he said in a supplementary question.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Johari Baharum (BN- Kubang Pasu) replied that he would take note of the claim and give a written reply if there were any VIP’s children receiving scholarships through unlawful means.

He said that the Public Service Department (PSD) scholarships were offered according to merit.
“Academic achievement constitute 70%, socio-economic background 10%, co-curriculum (activities) 10% and the interviews carry 10%,” he said.

In another supplementary question, Datuk Ibrahim Ali (Independent - Pasir Mas) asked if the
Government would consider the economic background of applicants instead of academic achievements when approving scholarship to help those in rural areas.

Mohd Johari replied that scholarships had to be given based on merits otherwise the applications could be rejected.

“It’s a good suggestion, but if we send these students to universities say in Australia, they must qualify academically to even enter the university,” he said.

In the first place why should minister's children should even be considered as a candidate for the scholarships. Their parents earn buckets full of cash that could feed them for their next generation. Ministers do not pay taxes and whole lots of other stuffs while schools and institutions are financed by tax payers. Should they be even allowed into school???

These scholarships are supposed to be given solely to those who really needs it and not these free spending ministers' children. I agree that academic results are of primary consideration, however family back ground should be held at a higher regard here.

Talking about sending scholars overseas, we shall also question Malaysia's education standard. More on that in the next post...

Reflecting back on the last few weeks, Malaysia has suddenly re-emerged as murder haven, with a plethora of cases taking place in various jurisdictions. One of these that I am going to highlight is the kidnap cum murder case of 16 year old Lai Ying Xin. The following article notes the convicted,

Teens among four charged with Ying Xin's murder


JOHOR BARU: Four people, including three teenagers, were charged at a magistrate’s court here with the kidnap and murder of 16-year-old Lai Ying Xin.

When they were brought into the courtroom, it was packed with people including the girl’s relatives and friends.

Only hairstylist Teh Kim Hong, 22, was produced in the dock, while the teenagers — two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old — stood at the side.

The four were charged with intentionally murdering Ying Xin between 9.45pm on Sept 11 and midnight on Sept 12 at Lot 2841, Jalan Alor, Bukit Kulai in Kulai Jaya.

They were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code with murder, which carries the death penalty.

On a second charge, the four were alleged to have kidnapped Ying Xin at 9.45pm in front of a hypermarket along Jalan Kulai-Air Hitam in Kulai Jaya with the intention of demanding a ransom of RM60,000.

If found guilty of kidnap, the offender can be sentenced to death or life in prison.
If not sentenced to death, those convicted of kidnap can be whipped.

But the teenagers, if found guilty, will be detained at the pleasure of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

When the charges were read out in Mandarin, all four nodded their heads to signal they understood the charge. No plea was re- corded for either charge.

Magistrate Nor Shahid Abd Malik set Dec 10 for mention pending the chemist’s and post mortem reports.

Ying Xin was kidnapped and murdered after which her partially-burnt body was dumped in some bushes.

Police found the body in Taman Putri, Kulai, on Sept 16.

The cause of her death was strangulation.

Take a look at the society that we are living in today. What kind of retards are infesting our streets. I mean, take a look at yourself, can you come to terms with taking a rope and strangle a helpless person, more so when the someone is of the same race as you. Its as if a small dog is biting another one to death. Do you find such gruesome acts in the canine community, i doubt so. So what can we say about us human, well, worst than animals i guess. Furthermore, those involved are only in their adolescent, what more can these monsters do if they are released back in the wild. Blame their parents for not teaching them? Failure of school education? Nope. This shouldn't be the case. They should blame themselves. Absolute failure of self morality, stupidity and idiotism.

Its already wrong to have committed a a kidnap, how about murder? Its utterly unforgivable. I propose 30 years behind bars with whipping for each before given the death penalty, and nope, the juveniles should not be exempted from this. These punishment is supposed to inflict fear into these criminal's soul, and inflict it shall. Hopefully these rubbish are punished in the harshest of ways and may God not have any mercy on them.
