| Bumi grads from UiTM |
No, thanks. I agree with new YB Irmohizam Ibrahim on the need to maintain UiTM mainly for the sons and daughters of the soil regardless of religion. That IS, after all, UiTM's DNA, it's what makes it different and special. Non-Bumiputera students' intake, if any, should be confined to special cases, eg children of civil servants, police, army, or anak yatim-piatu. If it's decided that access for non-Bumis should be increased, it must be done gradually. If taht happens, it is important that the Bumi-NonBumi ratio must reflect the country's population, as this would serve as a reminder to all these students, when they graduate, of how disproportionate other aspects of real life are out there (and why we must continue to correct the imbalances).

| Kit Siang's Dyana, made-in-UiTM |
However, I disagree with his idea of turning my alma mater into a Royal UiTM, and not just because it will make this proud institution of higher learning sound like a golf club. A "DiRaja" title will do nothing to protect the UiTM from those who want to force it wide open to non-Bumiputeras (while at the same time blocking the opportunities for Bumiputeras in other fields, eg private sector jobs). PDRM is the perfect example, as cited by DAP Lim Kit Siang's political secretary Dyana Sofya. She should know: just look at how unprotected our police diRaja officers have been against the poisonous barbs thrown by her own party leaders!
So Let UiTM be, I say. And I say that to people like Irmohizam and Dyana's boss Kit Siang.
If at all, it is the "Royal" that needs protecting. The word has been abused, misused, overused. Eg Royal Selangor Club, Royal Ipoh Club, Royal Lake Club, Royal This Golf Club, Royal That Golf Club ... berapa banyak kelab diRaja daa?! My suggestion: DROP all "Royal" titles from these clubs. The word "Royal" should be reserved for our Police, Army, Customs and selected civil services. Otherwise, one may get the impression that that's all our members of Royalty do - clubbing!
Royal Selangor Pewter is OK?

Don't forget the "Royal Selangor Pwetter " , wa pon mahu talok Ah Kow Royal Durian Garden , itu nama manyak syok lah.
And yet you say those want to hire the Mandarin speaking employer is a discriminating against bumiputra move? At the same time we have these institutions which continuously and legally discriminate the non Bumi.
ReplyDeleteWow, Bru - you never cease to amaze.
ReplyDeleteSo, are you saying that UiTM cannot compete on a level playing field? And that it's degrees cannot be ranked on par with those from (what the heck) NUS and NTU (where a fair number of Malaysian students who, apparently are not good enough to get into Malaysian public universities, land up).
And enough about the discrimination allegedly prevalent in the private sector. Why not go the whole hog (and I use the term in context) and ask the government to force employment by race quotas on the private sector in Malaysia?
As was mentioned in another post somewhere, let's see if the government has the stomach to tell IBM, Google or H-P, among other tech and MNC luminaries, that they must hire (and promote) X per cent Malays, Y per cent Chinese and Z per cent Indians and others.
As they say, talk is cheap. And whipping up emotions is par for the course for bloggers who have no understanding of what the business and tech worlds are all about.
So, how about telling the PM, when he next visits the US (or the UK or China or wherever), to make it known loud and clear to investors that quotas and affirmative action are a fact of life here, and if they don't like it, they can jolly well lump it.
Of course, we all know where they will decamp to, don't we?
it will be rank below 300 in world Uni ranking, who cares! be prepare to shame yourself, please don't make claim too loudly.
ReplyDeleteyes agree. how about we start petitioning with Royal Selangor Golf Club?
ReplyDeleteDear Rocky.
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence is very amusing. About the same with that 'Royal Brew' thing. Anyway, I agree with you Dato.
I have no objection if they aye to non-bumis' entry, but it's ratio must reflects the contry's population.
Eh, who wants to go to UiTM ? Is this your wet dream, Bru ? People want to go to real universities lah. Degrees yang boleh orang percaya. Not to universities that produce low class graduates with no English skills.
ReplyDeleteTell you what: keep the bumi enrolment at 99.9 %. There's a new university in town and it's called Xiamen university. It will be a university based on meritocracy, not based on race.

Beb get your facts right. Graduating from anor uni in malaysia does not make that individual bole dipercayai, high class and efficient fluent english skills automatially. It has to be gained.
DeleteAt least uitm student dont have to attend kelas peralihan unlike student from chinese school to gov school.
Correct imbalances ? Read Darwin's Origin of Species. Imbalances are genetic. Promote racial intermarriage. Don't kahwin cousins and close relatives.
ReplyDeleteTake a cue from Najib. His son-in-law is Kazakh. Mamakthir's daughter in law is daughter of Liem Soie Liong. Taib's daughter in law is George Chan's daughter. Sidek's son in law is American. And all these people don't give two hoots about religion or imbalances.
The only imbalance you have to correct is the gap between the rich and the poor. It's like you smoking an expensive cigar in Bangsar that will buy 10 meals for a poor family.
Hypocrisy from UMNO has to end someday.

No thanks Bru. Why waste time on such an inconsequential issue. Are the nons beating down the door to get in ??
ReplyDeleteIf non issue why kit Siang keep harping the same issue? Hypocrite to max la you abeng.
Deletegotta keep as many of the poor and middle class malays confined to a mediocre university. its easy limit their thoughts that way. also, if they get too smart by going elsewhere they'll question why the hell their umno leaders only send their kids overseas.
ReplyDeleteusually people will open up their universities to as many applicants to encourage meritocracy and improve its diversity - all of which are ingredients for a fertile educational environment. but you on the other hand..
Datuk, your title is also a Royal bestowed title. Good for you but UITM not good enough?
ReplyDeleteI agree. Let UITM be. Selagi ada bulan dan bintang.. No more polemics please. There are a lot of higher institutions in the country.

ReplyDelete"Below 300 in world Uni ranking?" No, quite a bit lower. Below 700, in fact:
http://news.malaysia.msn.com/malaysia-news/uitm-not-worried-about-slide-in-qs-world-university-rankings-2012-2013-1
A slide of 100 places in one year.
The V-C is quite blase about it, although, he doesn't understand how the rankings are calculated (his major blunder - "UiTM had never asked to be evaluated in the list and one of the factors that must be taken into consideration is that the absence of international students has cost the university points. Where do we admit international students?" Unquote. But international student numbers count for only 5% of the rankings, so ya, pendek kata, that's the "research standard" of the V-C at the top of the organisation.
Even if this girl was pushing for non-Malays to be in ITM (she wasn't)….
http://www.malaysiaedition.net/helping-fellow-malaysians-means-betraying-malays-dyana-sofya-asks-noh-omar/
…..I'm not sure it's a good idea. I think non-Bumi newcomers will feel uncomfortable. The issue has become politicised, like too many others.
I would encourage the Education Ministry to be more proactive in elevating iTM's standards, however. This is quite important in producing more competitive Malay graduates. The "pendatang" parents who are not wealthy (and there are many) will continue to place a premium on education, and they will scrimp, save, beg and borrow to get their kids into a decent tertiary education, maybe overseas. The melayu DAP girl's comments I think were directed at this situation, but alas, they are "pendatang" after all. Don't want to piss off Noh Omar, do we.

Rocky,
ReplyDeleteA Rose by Any Other Name is Still a Rose. In your case, now that you have declared having obtained your efucation from UItm, don't bring disrepute to the Institution by Writing Crap, Senseless Propaganda or simply concocting slanderous inuendoes.
An Educational Institution is only as good as the conduct of its Former Students.
When you said that you or the Malays are sons of the soil, are you also saying that the whites from Europe are also the sons of Australia or North America ?
ReplyDeleteNo, the real sons of the Australia and North America are the aborigines and the Red Indians and also the Orang Asli of Malaysia. The criminals from England, the fortune hunters from Europe and the Negroes from Africa were and will forever be immigrants, period.
Also are the refugees from Indonesia calling themselves as Malays are NOT. I repeat not the sons of the soil, the real sons of the soil of Malaya are the Orang Asli and that is why the Orang Asli are protesting so often of the many atrocities they are, up till now subjected to.
The aborigines and the Red Indians in Australia and North America too, or years, are protesting just like the Orang Asli are doing in Malaya. Therefore stop calling yourself as sons of the soil, at least these white immigrants have taken these countries to become the first world. And to justify themselves of the many atrocities done to the Orang Asli. The indonesian refugees called the Orang Asli pseudo Malays, how can they be called pseudo Malays when most of them are not even muslims to qualify themselves as Malays or pseudo Malays ? If they are pseudo Malays why are they so badly marginalised and protesting almost daily of the atrocities done to them ? Also why are they called Orang Asli (original people) so appropriately called) and above all by who ? By the earlier refugees from Indonesia.
Even the daughter of the egregious Mahathir and the former Trade Minister have openly admitted the Malays are all 2nd or 3rd generation of immigrants or shall I say pendatangs. The egregious Mahathir once admitted that it is because the Malays are fortune enough to take control of the political scene of Malaya. And as a consequence the Malays can do things as they like in Malaya and I might even add are able to try to rewrite the history of Malaya just to project themselves as the sons of the soil. Whatever they do they will, forever, be pendatangs just like all the pendatangs ! Therefore the sooner you accept that the better it is for all and may be take the country to become the first world !
It's unfortunate that some people never read history, anthropology, archaeology and human genome works. Instead, they continue deluding themselves about Malays and 'Indonesians' being pendatang, like they are. Oh well, small minds will always remain small without further education. No point trying to educate those incapable of learning. Just keep perpetuating your assumptions. I'm sure scholars local and foreign alike who've written about these subjects are laughing at you.
Deletethey do clubbing...u must be blind or wish to stay blind.

ReplyDeleteDato,
Is it possible to have a contest between Uitm and Utar students on any subject matter ?Perhaps any of the newspaper could organise it.
It could be between 1st year students of Utar and final year students or perhaps between the best of uitm and the worst of utar.
That would be fun to watch and the whole world to know about standards of education .
I hope you could kindly organise it.
Anon 11:14
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you. Even with the minor grammatical errors in your posting, you are willing to compete on a level playing field. Rocky Bru says the uneven playing field should remain because the Malays can't compete. He says the nons should start a 100m race 20m behind the Malays. We tell him to go fly kite.

Godfather, have you seen the number of grammatical errors from non-UITM persons in this blog or your permanently sealed racial prejudice forbids you from recognizing them? If this is the standard or argument from the likes of you, I'd be surprised if the rest of non-UITM persons have a clue about anything, going by your argument.
DeleteYeah, let's defend UiTM from the kaffirs who are banging down the door to enter the university. Let's barricade the front gates, and make sure only bumiputras can pass. Let's ask the Agong for help. Let's make Ibrahim Ali the vice chancellor of the university.

DeleteYou know what Charleskiwi, I can't let you get away with this one. I don't know what your motives is. Trying to insinuate the Malays are not the rightful owner of this land, as if the immigrants brought by the British are more deserving to claim the country.
ReplyDelete"When you said that you or the Malays are sons of the soil, are you also saying that the whites from Europe are also the sons of Australia or North America?
No, the real sons of the Australia and North America are the aborigines and the Red Indians and also the Orang Asli of Malaysia.."
Yup, the white people of Europe are not the sons of Australia and North America and they never claim to be. But the Malays indeed the SONS OF THE SOIL of Malaysia together with the aborigines. To begin with, the Malaysian Peninsular is part of the Malays archipelago, the Nusantara front which include the Borneo, parts of Southern Philippines and Southern Thai, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and thousands of other islands at the tip of the Pacific. The Malays come from this part of the region. For thousands of years, they cris-crossing between places as the time goes by. The are not coming from a continent thousands miles away the way the Europeans did. I'm a bit baffled of your comparison between the two. Of course there are also the orang Asli who lived there but they were less sophisticated and settled deep in rural places. They are not yet civilized and well-equipped to govern a vast area of land the way ancient civilizations did. They're both coming from the same place but do not lived together side by side. If your argument hold water then why don't you accuse the Indonesians as not the real sons of Indonesia since they too have orang asli whom live among them.
"The criminals from England, the fortune hunters from Europe and the Negroes from Africa were and will forever be immigrants.."
No, they are not. They called themselves Australian and pledge allegiance to the Queen of England. They are all equals under the Australian constitution and practice a single system of education. There is only one type of school in Australia and they are not separating them based on race. ,
"The aborigines and the Red Indians in Australia and North America too, or years, are protesting just like the Orang Asli are doing in Malaya.. "
They are protesting because they have been driven out from their places and placed into government reserve land. Completely broke, denied economic opportunity and stripped off their rights and privileges. The way you guys recently trying to do to the Malays.
"Even the daughter of the egregious Mahathir and the former Trade Minister have openly admitted the Malays are all 2nd or 3rd generation of immigrants or shall I say pendatangs."
The Malays as defined by Article 160 of the Malaysian Constitution as someone born to a Malaysian citizen who professes to be a Muslim, habitually speaks the Malay language, adheres to Malay customs. Dr. Mahathir and his descendents possess all of those above.
To be continued..
Continued..
ReplyDelete"The egregious Mahathir once admitted that it is because the Malays are fortune enough to take control of the political scene of Malaya"
I can't recall if Mahathir did say that. Would you mind give the citation?
"And as a consequence the Malays can do things as they like in Malaya and I might even add are able to try to rewrite the history of Malaya just to project themselves as the sons of the soil.."
Of course they can do whatever they like cause it is their country, their land. They have never rewrite history because it is historically and scientifically proven they are indeed SONS OF THE SOILS. There are a lot of evidences being put forth if you care to look into it. Take an oversea trip and go to the British National Archives or the Museum. See for yourself if you have a deep distrust in our version. Though I know people like you only want to see what you want to see. We know what are rightfully ours unlike some other people who are trying to take everything even though they are not entitle to it.
"Whatever they do they will, forever, be pendatangs just like all the pendatangs ! Therefore the sooner you accept that the better.."
You should put a mirror in front of that statement and only then self-reflection and self- understanding would be possible.
By the way, what with kiwi in your name stand for. New Zealander?
Scientifically proven ? The only thing proven is the work ethic of the particular race.
DeleteYou call yourself a muslim? Islam does not condone bigotry racism prejudices corruption nor feelings of ketuanan.

Racism lives in the blood of your kind, not org Melayu Bumiputera who you have been deceiving for so long. Mr Ye wad right, the non-muslims chinese always consider themselves as superior to the org Melayu Bumiputera. All because u had a good headstart than us. I wonder if we can sue the British for this?

They want to go NUS, Nanyang, Australia, Hong Kong, UK, US. Worst case, if the nons have no money, they apply to UM, UKM, USM. UiTM never figures on their list.

ReplyDeleteAny efforts by anybody from the Umno leadership to change the status will be punished severely.
That will be the day Umno will cease being the party that the Malays vote for. We don't want or need Umno anymore if that is the case.
Ranking UitM is low mainly because of no foreign students.
Anyway, pergi campus everybody who dislike the status. They just don't like the Malays to have such opportunities.
Debating why we do not need Chinese school in Malaysia is more relevant than why UiTM should open up.

ReplyDeleteITM stands for ' Indians Teaching Malays '. Those days indian nationals were teaching almost all courses in English. Now ITM has progressed to UiTM after many Malay lecturers trained in post-graduate are taking over Deans and lecturers positions.

Of course, if you want to be the top frogs in your own little kampong, go ahead.
There's a much bigger world out there.

Amazing how every discussion turns into the same tadika-level racial mudslinging.
ReplyDeleteSo much for intelligent debate.
10:57 am,
ReplyDeleteTwo points:
a) Nothing in the rules of UTAR or KTAR expressly prohibits other races from joining.
Because we tend to engage in racial flocking, it's very heavily Chinese:
http://www.thestar.com.my/story.aspx?file=%2f2005%2f8%2f29%2fnation%2f11895840&sec=nation
Ditto for KTAR, I guess.
Hence if ITM's doors were opened wide to non-Bumis, there would not really be a stampede of students trying to get in, by the same token. That's why there's hardly been a stampede of Bumis into UTAR, though they are not blocked per se.
I really wish, however, that of all the things that get turned into political footballs, we should stay away from education (and religion, and race. That's another story.)
http://malaysiafactbook.com/KTAR_certs_good_only_for_getting_votes_for_BN_-_Mahathir
b)This Dyana girl has clarified ad nauseam that she said that poorer non-Bumis should get something LIKE ITM. Not the same as saying INTO ITM.
http://www.malaysiaedition.net/helping-fellow-malaysians-means-betraying-malays-dyana-sofya-asks-noh-omar/
Malaysia's future interests are best served by having good unis and colleges now. That means a good ITM, a good UTAR, etc. if we want to stay fenced off.
After we're dead and gone it would be great if all our unis and colleges were open to all races and nobody was politicising it.
i.e. we were just focusing on better education. I guess that's what unis and colleges should be about.

Somebody brought up the name of Gani Patail. He's a joke. In any meritocracy, he would have flunked his LLB exams at UM and he would have been fired for his incompetence. He's the perfect example of what happens when a nation's top post is given to a bumiputra who got 3rd class honours in UM.
