Tertiary Education In Malaysia.

O hehe before i start blogging today , i would like to ask all of you ,how is redesigned blog layout?Is it better? or is the previous ones better ? Ok, lets start ranting about the topic today.Today, my uncle came to visit me .Nawh,actually to be precise , he came to lecture me.

Apparently , he overheard the conversation of me and my mom that i wanted to go to college instead of form six or etc.His daughter gets the scholarship to matriculations somehow.And such he begins his lecture."Private study is fine ,but do you ever think of your parent's budget?And also the burdens they and you have to take to cope with financial fees.Not to mention the living expenses when you go overseas?" Such are part of his speeches.

After some pointless arguments or rather "creative discussions" as i would call it , i realise he is right...o well maybe half-right.Matriculation,in Malaysia is truly good as it grants the achievers rm 2500 per month!And as if that isn't good enough , matriculation also is the fastest way to 100% enter local university.However,there are no absolute benefits in this world.As there are lights,so will shadows exist.

The downfall of matriculation is ... the low standard of education offered there.Compared to form six or A-level in colleges , the standard of education offered in matrics is inevitably low .Not to say that i can't gain any knowledges there. I can, just that i am scared that the knowledges gained will be of no use when entering local universities.The second thing is that ..Matriculation... is actually a system made for the Malays.Therefore, the percentage of chinese students to be able to enter matriculation will be considerably low.No, i ain't being racist or anything.I didn't meant to point out any flaw with this systems either.

"When you are in Rom,do as the Romans do".Since i am living in Malaysia, i have to abide by their systems and rules.What can I, a mere student do ?Now,first of all , i don't meant to raise any sensitive issues here.Malays are good too ya know.Some Malays are deserved to be respected.But one of the downfall in this system is... communication.Yeah i know , when you are communicating socially, it matters not what races are your friends are,as long as you are able to communicate with them ,that is fine already right? Here lies the main point though, according to my uncle, his daughter is placed in one room with 3 malay gals? What the heck? No matter how is it,One can't help but to feel odd right?

What i mean is matriculations should have more students from different races.Then only will it balance out , right?Arg man i dunno any more.Man, i can't stand it anymore.What's up with malay sovereignty now? Aren't we suppose to be Malaysians now?So , i totally would support it if government could have altered the structure of malaysia education system a bit.....
