Congrats!
Org Asli kid did not do well in school won't have chance to enter university.
Rich kids got lots of tuition can enjoy state university

Rich gets rich, poor gets tax and debt.

Problem is there are talents among tree people but they might not necessarily get the right early education. Conversely, there are dumbfuck rich kids with lots of supports from early age. Which one will win meritocracy?

Now here’s the kicker: those dumbfuck rich kids will even get free tertiary education! Lulz

songlap is corruption which must be addressed.
meritocracy has its benefits, which I support, see "Congrats"
I raise the query, what about slow learners, bcos they will be left out in meritocrary.
TVET in tertiary education?
Pls do more reading, don't everything also ask me. I critic capitalism to raise awareness. In a democracy, you also have a voice. Hope you will have an educated voice.

Here’s the thing: the meritocracy part is good. But it has to focus on equity rather than equality.

Rafizi said something about this a while back. He said it’s not fair to compare his child studying in one of the best public schools in Putrajaya with a poor child in rural area.

Sarawak govt has to acknowledge that the rich-poor gap in the state is quite large. To have a perfectly level playing field is impossible, but working towards equity will mean giving a bit of leeway towards disadvantaged poor students.

You’d be surprised how many people get 7A1s and more and still dumb as rock. Tuitionssss and soalan bocor help a lot

Agree.
Yes on vocational.

The 2 matters are in the same ecosystem, including 3R. It is necessary to include economic model bcos edu will take a generation to see effect, and democratic gov't only has 4 years, and in the event that edu model was unsuccessful, then new set of problems arise. So capitalism economic model is where T1 or T15 profits from B85. 67 year majority did not talk about economy, today even god can help us as we see B40 turn into B85.

Let me rephrase it this way.

Which one is smarter and more deserving of a place in uni: a rich kid studying in aircond all day with tuitions on weekends or a poor kid in rural area who has to walk many miles to school in jungle, crossing river, studying in a semi-collapsed wooden school? Both got 7A1s.

Democracy gives citizen the power to vote and voice, so I hope you dont let new drag you by the nose, instead voice out good ideas. Cheers!

You do know student intake in university is not unlimited?

Hence I said which one is more deserving. Because these kids are not equal even when their results are.

Article is about a new system, which is impossible without political will, democracy and grass root support. So I am in topic, but you are stuck in a 3R mentality. 67 years later, we see today B40 become B85, bcos you are arguing and not looking at the bigger picture and facts.

yet so many agree with me.
