Since the implementation of the meritocracy system, the percentage of Malays accepted into local universities has increased every year. Do you believe than based on merit, the number of Chinese who qualify for university is lower than the number of Malays?

If that is true, then the Malays have improved by leaps and bounds, exceeding all the objectives of NEP.

But we only need to look at the PMR and SPM results to know that Malay students lag far behind their Chinese counterparts. It is only when Chinese students take the STPM and the Malay students take their matriculation examinations that suddenly, Malay students become superior.

We live in a wonderful fairyland where ministers can say that the colour of milk is black and nobody dares to question it. Let's have the courage to face the truth, don't call an arbitrary system 'meritocracy'.

Stick to the previous quota system - at least the pitiful Chinese and Indian students will have a secure share of university places.
