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.

What if the rich kid scores 3As, the poor kid scores 7A1s but the poor kid cannot enter u but the rich kid can, because of quota system?

I didn’t even get into that yet😅 but yeah, correct also.

You have your point, but you are assuming only bumi students are poor and require quota to give them a leg up. Many non bumis are also too poor to enrol in private tertiary institutions if they can't enrol in public u.

Ask yourself: with quota in place, how many rural bumis still miss out on tertiary education? Using your reasoning (quota helps rural poor bumi), we should expect many rural poor bumi to be studying in university, kan? Is this the reality, especially among bumi orang Asli?

Then wouldn't it be fine if the quota was based on family income instead of race?

That's where scholarships and educational grants come in. You want to set a minimum standard for entry.
