UiTM slams MB’s proposalSHAH ALAM: Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Seri Dr Ibrahim Abu Shah has hit out at Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim’s suggestion that the university open its doors to non-bumiputra students.
Prof Ibrahim said the call to have non-bumiputras allowed into the university was against the purpose of setting up the university.
“UiTM was set up to provide the bumiputras a chance to improve themselves by attaining tertiary education,” he told a press conference at the university here yesterday.
He was commenting on Khalid’s statement asking for UiTM to open 10% of its intake to the other races to raise the level of integration, competitiveness and the quality of graduates.
He said the power to decide on any changes to the intakes in UiTM was up to the government. Earlier about 5,000 UITM students held a peaceful demonstration in front of the state secretariat building where they also handed over a memorandum to a state government official objecting to the call by Khalid.
UiTM student body president Luqmannulhakim Mohamad Idris said the students wanted Khalid to retract the statement and apologise.
“We (the students) are very disturbed by the statement and we have planned our strategy on what to do if the Mentri Besar does not apologise and retract the statement,” he said.
Khalid, meanwhile said the proposal was done in the interests of both bumiputras and others.
Khalid said he was fully aware that he had no right to decide on the quota for non-Malays in UiTM.
These people were acting as if UiTM is as prestigious as Oxford or Harvard, and we non-bumis are trying to pillage their intelligence out from their asses… what a chode.
If anyone from UiTM is reading this - don’t worry about it guys. I’m not going to send my kid to UiTM. No fucking thanks. Not even if you pay me to send her there. Not in a million years. That’s because I don’t think I’m (we’re) that desperate, and I definitely would hate to see her turn into someone like you (and yeah, I will convince my non-bumi friends to stay the fuck away as well. You guys can have the whole place all by yourselves…)
Dear Blogger,
Hello.
My name is Edward Skading, from Selangor, Malaysia. I am writing for your viewpoint and support towards a good cause campaign to protect and uphold our consumer rights.
I am being sued by an arrogant corporate company (F&N Dairies (M) Sdn Bhd) because I exposed a horrible discovery concerning one of their products on my weblog. It is all about my shocking finding of an abnormal substance (mould) in a “Tea Pot” brand, sweeten condensed milk tin-can. You can read the full story (all the correspondence letters) and view photos of the contaminated milk and the disgusting hazardous conditions of F&N Dairies’ plant at my weblog
As a consumer, I am sickened by the fact that we are not provided utmost protection from this sort of situations and whatever consumer rights we have now are defenceless. I also feel that my human rights had been deprived when I am being forced to silence and on top of all, I feel cheated when the company executive responded to my grievances that they are not liable for damaged products in the marketplace.
I am only requesting that the company be truthful, reliable and accountable for their mistakes, moreover produce cleaner and safer food. I believe, it is the responsibility of our whole society to protect the rights and benefits of consumers, and all concerned parties should together strive to do the work of standing up for consumer rights, improving the consumption environment, and pushing for faster, better economic and social development.
I sincerely hope you will cover my story on your weblog or your news portal and tell my story to the world. I would greatly value and appreciate your kind support.
If you wish to contact me, please send your email to eddskading@hotmail.com.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Edward Skading
anas - As long as you’re not in UiTM now, you’re that much better than them already. What a relief, right?
berudu - Wow, what a revelation. I didn’t think they could that fucking bad.
expedited writer - If you can read it in another context, it was as if they’re asking to be treated like retards… You know, feed them, give them jobs, show them sympathy and shit? I bet the real retards would despise this kind of attitude…
danielle - I think that Khalid guy made the proposal with good intentions. That’s why he could become the CEO of some registered company, instead of working inside some McDonald’s outlet. That’s the difference between him, and that bunch of losers picketing that day…
edward - [edited] I’ll see what I can do (that’s because this is a private blog and I don’t really give a shit about anything… but I’ll see what I can do to increase your traffic).
Mike ..
Arghh come on, “kong chin, sat kam cheng”. You should be proud, that your blog indeed serve a good cause .. gagagaga.
Hahhah..they can keep their UiTMs and their top Bumi students! In fact, all bumi companies should ONLY hire Bumi grads. Oh..just don’t blame the non-bumis for their downfall, we didn’t do anything!
I like this concept of having 500 unis and top 10 bumi students!!! Being top in a lousy school, is so much damn easier than being top in a good school! DAMN! I should’ve been a bumi!
bleargh!
Well, that’s the problem with the government. The whole SBP , MRSM or even UiTM is not helping but ruining those Bumis.
@LX, bubbles, Eric. Sounds like bad luck for your boarding school. At least mine wasn’t that bad, except for some moron seniors. Mine is in Melaka.
Anyway, SBP have a quota like 5% or 10% for non-Bumi as far as i know. They give offer to non-Bumi for the purpose of filling that quota only.
So susah for what, go study UTAR or TARC lah, all the non-bumis are there making campfire and having fun. But mind you, got passing quota and some are bound to FAIL. CGPA above 3.5 is rare (btw, did you know most of the grads in UiTM had CGPA > 3.5?)
I’d rather my son works after SPM then sending him to UiTM, or any university that openly states that it only opens its door to a specific race.
Imagine how these kids are going to survive when they start working
let uitm be closed within their own ignorance..
it is appalling students of tertiary education behaving like this, instead of accepting challenges to advance their thirst for knowledge, they only thirst for free handouts.
This is what the government wants, a bunch of no use, over egoistic, reliant on government, “educated” nincompoops.
I will vividly remember how “good” these students are…
When I was in 1st semester in Singapore Polytechnic, we competed in ITM Shah Alam’s bridge building competition.. the entries from advance-diploma students didn’t come close to my bridge! Actually our entries took the top 3 spots, however, over a closed door deliberation, the 3rd spot was given to a ITM entry. Pathetic…
I ain’t sending my kids there.. useless university..
My dad told me of a time when he interviewed a 4.0 CGPA UITM graduate, and the girl didn’t know how to converse in english..a total disaster…plural and singular arrangement ain’t in her system, Pronunciation all wrong etc etc…
Idiots..
Malays..what a bunch of losers..
their men are pathetic ‘rempit’ and ‘rapist’
and their women are just sluts and whores…how the hell this kind of race can exist in this world?
Malays are just pigs…uitm is just a pig farm…who want to go to Uitm anyway?..UTAR is better..high quality and free from politics and racism..
UTAR free from politics? where’d u get that idea? c’me on! i was from UTAR, and yes, UTAR is nice n not totally racist or biased, but they had a lot of inside ”politickings”, just unknown to outsiders. n fyi, the Lecturers at UTAR are ORDERED to be lenient when marking diploma students’ exams.
UiTM- wtf???!!! let that stupid uni be wat it is, no one’s interested anyways. I’m haf chinese-haf east m’sian bumi, and i also hate UiTM, n i even tell my relatives who qualified cuz they are Bumis, never study there. UiTM is a joke!
yeah, ok i know my entry is WAY too late, but i just need to voice out my 2 cents!
