KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 DAP lauded Datuk Seri Najib Razaks proclamation currently to extent federal scholarships to university entrants instead of SPM top-scorers though urged a administration to lay out sum of a devise immediately to equivocate any misunderstanding.
DAP inhabitant publicity secretary Tony Pua(picture) told a press conference in Parliament currently which a supervision should not dither on a make a difference as good as move quickly so which potential grant recipients would not be confused as good as would know what is in store for them.
We await Najibs proclamation currently though we hope which a PSD will carry out his gauge as shortly as possible, he said.
Pua referred to a two-tiered grant distribution system, observant a Public Service Department (PSD) should still endowment grants to SPM top-scorers though for pre-university courses as good as subsequently, if they fared good in their studies, a students could then request for undergraduate scholarships in tip universities abroad.
Award automatic pre-university scholarships to all tip SPM students with 8A+ as good as on tip of to pursue pre-university courses of their choice, such as a A-levels, STPM or International Baccalaureae (IB) programmes.
Subsequently, a supervision should announce a full list of tip universities as good as colleges whose courses will be supposed for abroad universities grant consideration, whether a economics in Cambridge or engineering during MIT or medicine in Melbourne, he said.
Pua pointed out which when a DAP had mooted a identical suggestion in 2009, Minister in a Prime Ministers Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz had pronounced a suspicion merited serve suspicion as it would reduce a series of applicants for abroad placements.
So a question then is, will a PSD comply as good as govern a bu! dding mi nisters gauge which abroad scholarships usually be! awarded to students who have been means to benefit entrance into these tip universities after pre-university levels instead of SPM? he asked.
He combined which if a dialect had not been means to exercise such reforms over a past couple of years, subsequent year may not be any different.
So instead of waiting an additional year before a complete grant circus repeats itself again, a supervision should immediately announce a sum of a new grant routine so which a Malaysian public as good as particularly, a potential grant recipients know what is in store for them, he said.
In an talk with Chinese-language One FM air wave hire today, Najib pronounced PSD scholarships would usually be since to university entrants instead of SPM tip scorers from 2012 to equivocate a trouble they have caused in past years.
The budding apportion however combined which those who perform good in their SPM will still embrace tiny bursaries to pursue their foundation studies.
Scholarships will be indifferent if we have been means to get really good formula (at foundation) as good as (a) place during tip universities. Giving out scholarships during SPM turn is not a good idea... Just since we do good during O-levels doesnt mean youll do good during A-levels, he said.
Under a benefaction system, PSD distributes 1,500 abroad scholarships to selected tip SPM students with straight 9A+ as good as on tip of as good as who pass an talk process. The superfluous tip students with 8A+ as good as on tip of can request for 2,500 scholarships offered for internal university placements.
Pua explained which a complement does not guarantee which usually students who qualify for posts in tip universities have been since grants.
Since they have been since scholarships regulating usually their SPM grades, even if they do not perform good during pre-U turn as good as have been usually means to secure posts in reduce class universities, they have been s! till pos tulated a scholarships for undergraduate courses. Changing a complement would assistance save a supervision some money, he said.
