Why reject mara scholarship
Why ur sister work in Pfizer ,
johnl77 hates her
My mum say if they really wanna help, they should help from start. MARA is well known to help elite only. Most malay prefer JPA over MARA. Luckily didnt accept it, one year later MARA got hit by the oz scandal.
Work in pfizer better than working with KKM. can go oversea meet bright scientist. The kind that Malaysia dont have

Honestly really feel this is a case of katak di bawah tempurung here. Thinking grass is always greener on the other side. Also yeah, if truly cemerlang, there are plenty of ways around it, I have friends who applied private uni, idk what her finances are like but she was a top student and applied for the university's scholarship and dapat as she managed to maintain her grades above the req threshold to keep it. In addition to that there are also plenty of scholarships you can apply for see if you get it. Can use ptptn and can try apply for loan forgiveness if dapat first class honours also (if truly cemerlang sure no problem kan?) it's not asking for you to be valedictorian. Otherwise I heard also got some discount for good students regardless.
Honestly feel some of these people are ignorant and don't comprehend that there are plenty who're better than them. If they were so excellent, in addition to their current koko activities they might've been scouted for like maths Olympiad like that Leia girl or chess competitions like one kid in my primary school was and done so much more. Can't see beyond what they've achieved.
Like now that I think about it, back in my smk days, my school did occasionally seek out the top math scorers to send for some math contest and represent the school, if one was truly brilliant they would've been selected and even better won the competition no?
Feels good knowing there are some people who still can think rationally. Its more like entitlement issue. From what i can see, some people cant accept other people are better than them, plus if the better people are from different race. I myself been there before. All my chinese friends think i am successful because I am bumi, but they donno i am not bumi. Non bumi assume we bumi walk into MARA office and come out with loans. Its not easy, its not there for public use. We all know MARA only give small portion of the allocated sum to public, the rest of it goes to the elite (Che Ta case, remember?). Even my daughter private school offer scholarship to excellent student. There are a lots of way to go around it. Politician will not help u, they only there for the publicity. Some people say we can take advantage of their need of publicity, but from what i can see, the politician gain more than the student.
