Firstly I applaud you for the courage to speak up. Seriously, not everyone has the courage to talk about it openly on their blogs. I have nothing against Malays, because I understand that it’s only the upper rung of the society that really benefits tremendously (repeat: tremendously, as in, having a dozen of BMWs that kind). Malays at the lower rung of the economic and society ladder did not get an equitable share of the pie.

The main reason why students of other ethnic groups are reluctant to enter UiTM is the fear of being marginalised the prospects of being marginalised by a huge ethnic group is daunting, and considering that inter-racial relationships aren’t all so sunny and picturesque nowadays further adds to their worries.

hi.i’m all for the suggestion. i think there’s an urgent need for uitm to be diverse. the students need to compete with other races (healthy competition). They’ve been in a comfort zone for a long time. too much pampered and too much spoon fed. 10% is no big deal. if you think you’re good and capable enough…why worries?work hard and prove that you’re as good as them.in fact i dont think the non-bumis would be interested to enroll themselves in uitm.

Reply to This comment

So many universities in Malaysia, why choose UITM? because IUITM is the only one yet to open its door. Worry not, with 10% quota, I doubt the response from the non-Bumi will be encouraging, further more many of them perceive standard of education in UITM is lower than the rest.

I see many trying to defend UITM saying not all UITM graduates are without quality, yes that is true, nobody is denying there are good apples among the bad ones, no argument for that and I will defend my Alma Mater – UTM anytime if anyone trying to bash my university down.

I am certain that there are exceptional UiTM students out there who have achieved great success with the careers. I’m also not disputing the fact that UiTM is providing greater opportunities for many bumiputera students to obtain their degrees. UiTM makes access to tertiary education, which may otherwise have not been possible, easily available for some of them.

But, why people have this perception that majority of UITM graduates are not competitive enough among other universities? Reason, it was reported many times, graduates from local universities has the highest number of unemployment with UITM top the list consistently.

In 2006, it was reported some 70% (I personally think this figure is ridiculous, with 70% unemployment, better get away with higher learning institutions) of the public universities graduates are unemployed, with UITM contributing the highest number. I quote:

70% of grads from public institutions jobless
B.Suresh Ram

KUALA LUMPUR: Some 70% of public universities and institutes of higher learning graduates in the country are unemployed.

This is in contrast with 26% for private institutions of higher learning and 34% for foreign graduates.

Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakar revealed the figures today (July 3, 2006) in reply to a question from Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timor).

He said the ministry had taken several steps, including the establishment of the graduates’ retraining training scheme as well as providing feedback to the Higher Education and the Education Ministries, to ensure courses are in line with those required by the job market.

To the original question by Tan Sri Dr Ting Chew Peh (BN-Gopeng), Abdul Rahman said 20,217 graduates registered with the ministry’s Job Clearing System were still unemployed as at June 12.

The breakdown showed UiTM as having the highest number of unemployed graduates with 3,278 (16.2%) followed by UUM 1,532 (7.6%), private institutions of higher learning 1,217 (6%), UTM 1,147(5.7%), UKM 971 (4.8%), UPM 919 (4.5%), other public institutions of higher learning 840 (4.2%), UM 531 (2.6%), USM 505 (2.5%), UMS 371 (1.8%), UIA 358 (1.8%), foreign graduates 342 (1.7%), Unimas 174 (0.9%), UPSI 39 (0.2%) and others 7,993 (39.5%).

(From The Sun : http://sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=14660)

It is most interesting to note that Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) contributes by far the most number of unemployed graduates amongst all the universities in Malaysia. The number of unemployed produced (3,278) is more than double the next highest university, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) (1,532).

I agree totally for the 10% suggestion, for students can fall in love with non-Bumis and non-Malaysians and creating a new beautiful breed of Malaysians. HAHA!

Dont’ be melenting la…. this is just suggestion from some one that have huge experience and he know what this all about. Basically it’s not pengkhianatan but to improve our student “MELAYU” to be not always “melayu”. Just 10% combine foreigners+non bumi…. just tiny… ok what.

I’m supposedly a ‘Malay’ -tho my birth cert does not say so (Sabah Bumiputra), but I feel marginised in a Malay dominated places. I look ‘chinese’. Its always about, my outfit, way i speak, bla bla bla..nothing I do is ever right. I’m more comfortable being in a non-malay dominated places since they look beyond the skin colour. We can talk of anything we want, find out about each other’s cultures, understand what we are not clear of each other instead of phasing out a person because of the skin colour?

The way I see it, Malaysians should stop talking of races, ethnics etc…just be Malaysians. Lift the Malay supremacy its becoming obsolete….UiTM for Bumi’s? they want to be left behind and be ‘jaguh kampung’ leave them be. Let the rest of us rise among the real champions.

BTW NH, I love your blog..just came across it today..will follow it..

Being a graduate from Uitm myself and then works for multinational firm for more than 5 years, I would like to say that you have some valid points. :up:

Made Uitm solely for Malay/Bumi, does not help their graduate to become more competitive and produce a highest quality graduate that we can expect.

However, to said that Uitm has the lowest quality/standard in Malaysia is totally understated. :down:

In order to help the poor, Uitm should be open to mid-low group of Malaysian regardless of races.

Reply to This comment

I am also a UiTM graduate, like cik simpankira, and a few others naming UiTM as their alma matter.

I do agree with the point that, “orang Melayu cepat melatah”. Baru buat cadangan, dah gegak-gempita seantero UiTM. Come on, there’s nothing wrong with a lil’ healthy competition. UiTM and controversies. *Sigh*. In all honesty, I believe UiTM and its management is a puppet for the “Powers That Be”. And the student councils are all suck-ups. The reason why I will never be involved in politics.

However, I’m not going to agree for the sake of agreeing. Being one of ‘the accused’, I decided not to take things personally when you said UiTM students are of low quality. Well, simply because I am not one of them. Neither are my classmates, or even most of my UiTM friends. I don’t think it ever helps to generalise/label students like that, even with disclaimers (some are ok, etc etc). Because frankly, low quality graduates are low quality graduates, no matter which institute you are from. I know this because I am also an employer, and educational stigma makes you biased and at some point, disrespectful. No offense intended.

I also think it is no longer relevant to associate bad English with UiTM students. I used to underestimate UiTM too, before becoming a student there. I can safely say 80% of UiTM students nowadays speak fair to good English, if not as excellent as yourself. Times have changed, people evolve (into being better people, hopefully). Again, bad English can be found everywhere, every institute, not exclusively in UiTM.

Then again, the thing that matters most is not what degree you have, or where you obtained it from; but what you DO with the degree itself.

Wallahu’alam. Just my two cents.

Hi all,

I don’t know much about UiTM, but when it was ITM back in 1990′s, the qualification required to enter Diploma program was equivalent to requirement to enter Degree program in UTM. And, subjects were mainly thaught in English. For Engineering programs, we’re more of demand compared to UTM and USM. That was what ITM claimed during that time.

Then, they change it and everything now is a different story, and a bit bitter at it.

A big correction has to be made to this discussion. UiTM is for Bumis, not Malays. During my time, there’s about 20-30% Sabahans and Sarawakians, each with more than 10% allocation. Some of them are from Chinese decendants.

Open UiTM for non-Bumis… This idea came out during Mahathir’s time. The government suggested it and seemed wholly supported by everybody except the opposition parties. In fact, certain programs had already did that, like PPP. So, what the fuss?

…and Foreigners. This was from Khalid Ibrahim. I worked in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia and found it quite difficult to understand why people at this end were acting like they were, well, different. We have around dozens of nationalities here.

It took sometime for me to adapt to these different cultures. And those sometime, were the time of low productivity… wasted.

Imagine; if I were exposed to different cultures, different set of way of thinking, different norms and values, etc. at earlier stage of my life, I might be able to cut short the adaptating period, thus increasing my productivity.

Period.

My sis’s name is Azlina Manoharan. Yes.

Dude, I don’t get you. Stir the water? So I’m not Malaysian? I don’t have the right to equality? I can’t even question that?

So what does being a citizen of a country mean?

What so different between you and me?

and i Answered:

Afif Hamzah said…
Dear Danesh,

I appreciate the gesture, thank you.

I am malay, and my circle of friends are of the same of yours, consisting every major races in Malaysia. Despite our differences, I have befriended them since childhood. How do sustain such friendship for such long? Tolerance, which can be plainly prescribed as the ‘give and take’ attitude is the general rule of every relationship, the neighbourlyhood principles or attitude. It’s simple. if you love you friend, you would tolerate in sustaining peace and harmony in your friendship.

Equality is prescribed in our Federal Constitution but allow me to point it out – that it is not without restrictions such as our freedom of speech. The constitution is the single most important document that has governed us, as a peaceful secular country. Such peace has managed been sustained for more 50 years since Merdeka, with that we have to applaud ourselves. The constitution was drafted carefully by the British during those days, and I have to congratulate them to take into account every aspect crucial for a secular country to survive and sustain peace and democracy.

One of those is the bumiputera rights or privileges. Even then, the British has recognized it as a sensitive issue amongst the people of Tanah Melayu and I am referring the time of the Tanah Melayu mighty opposition of the Malay Union. Same as the constitution granted the parliament to impose subversive laws and prevention detention laws or better known as the Internal Security Act (ISA) to combat communism, because when the Constitution was drafted then, we were living in the shroud of communism.

Let’s set aside legalities shall we, and look on what is the right thing to do instead of what can be done.

So here I ask you, if you love being Malaysian, appreciating such various races living in peace and harmony as much as you love your friendship regardless of races, would you ever take the risk for discussing sensitive issues with them? I for one would not do so. Appreciating what we have, I’m sure we would not do such a thing. “Give and Take” has ever been the only reason why we have sustained as one entity.

To sustain this beautiful peace amongst us, I believe we should retract and appreciate on how we have managed to sustain such peace for more than 50 years. If it need be, to not to question such issues that might stir our ‘neighbour’ then why not? We have moved so far since then, reach great heights and achievement. Despite, bumiputera privileges, other races have always manage to stay competitive with us. But then, it is in race point of view, not nation’s point of view. I shouldn’t go into that context to deeply.

What I think, that the peace has sustained long enough that we have loose ourselves, and forget the very essence that has made us Malaysians for so long. I think we should not take for granted on such peace and unite for one common goal instead of striving for our own race.

Anyway, thank you. It is very Malaysian of you to point out your views ethically and I assure you, I have no racial reasons when I drafted my post. Let us move forward as a Malaysian.

Noktah Hitam,

I applaud your points they are persuasive indeed. However I choose to stand my ground.
On the contrary to what you have ruled out, we are living in peace. Complaints does not deem our Country to be in a state of emergency (Though please accept the fact that since the 1960’s since YDPA has declared our Nation to be in state of emergency, YDPA has never revoked such declaration and we are, still living in a state of emergency)

Khir Toyo, being a bumiputera is perfectly valid in accordance in Article 160 of the Federal Constitution, which defines the meaning of “malay” and “bumiputera” as far as the law is concern.

Other nations, have also granted extra privileges to their natives – how sure are you other nations don’t have such provisions in their constitution or parliament acts. Their freedom of speech is overrated as Americans boast with their statute of Liberty – there’s a saying there is freedom before the speech and no freedom after the speech, we have ISA, they have a place called guantanamobay (Pardon my spelling here). It is as much as overrated as their claims of equality of persons. That is what happened with globalization, they control the major Medias thus shrouding our minds with what they want us to think.

What I am pointing out, is for us to keep focused on what matters most, racial unity. Albeit bumiputera privileges, other races has always manage to keep very competitive and could it be, our privileges as bumiputera has grant us complacent people? If the answer to that question being true as it is normally opinionated, by far what ever that the non-bumi’s are complaining they are not having, is the source of their greatest strength?

You put a malay in London for an example, they would do wonders to survive and strive above the pack of races but otherwise if you put the same person surrounded or powered by the advantages of privileges. People want to instill competitiveness by opening up UiTM to non-bumi’s? I call it cliché.

The key point here is tolerance. Neighbourhoodly rules or principles, it’s simple, if you love your neighbour or friend – you would not do or say anything that might hurt their feelings. Some context you find as conversable and to them might be taboo.

“Acquiring peace is easy, but to maintain it, is hard.”

Precisely, but not quite exactly. The battle to oppose Malayan Union has partly been won, impliedly the true spirit of the oppose was partly lost . In the end, everyone was granted citizenship of the Federation of Malaysia. That was the first sacrifice done by the State leaders in other words their give and their take for the betterment of the country. They gave up ruling the state inherently and choose to abide by the rules of democracy and the Laws of England instead of Syaria’ah Laws. I think we should seek within ourselves, the inner strength to be one, tolerant, secular country to tolerate, to be sensitive, is mindful as neighbours of the same states, as Malaysian.

Simple. The Malays are scared to death they will be outclassed by the 10% minority in the university.

Typical Malays, they can never accept challenges. All they want is to live happily ever after, without doing anything, and very happy of their current achievement, not sure whether pushing themselves forward is actually a good thing.

I was a student of UiTM, and honestly, the Malays are going nowhere near success. The only thing that makes sure of Malays’ success is that this country is owned and run by Malays, the 60% of 27 million heads in Malaysia.

bagusnyer uitm ni memberi peluang kpd org bumiputera utk masuk U, even x pandai mana pun, mmg motif utama nk beri peluang kpd org2 bumi
kalo org non bumi masuk sbnyk 10 percent, mana org bumi yg 10 percent tu nak letak plak??
sy x setuju uitm diberi masuk non bumi
not trying to be racist k
tp it is the only one left for my race…
nothing else left for my future generation except the education in uitm that had been provide
there are still many other U’s that can produce excellent graduate of bumis.
dont judge us and forced us to changed dramatically
we will change
give us some times…

but when the time all malay rise, i hope there will be still a place where can bumis voice their opinion.

salam.

i think it’s unfair to generalize UiTM products as ‘tidak berkualiti’. It’s like the Malay proverbs; kerana nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga.

and it is also unfair to judge/comment UiTM based only on the Malay race… what about other ethics from Sabah and Sarawak? are they not in UiTM as well?

speaking of a well off family who send their children to UiTM… don’t you think one of the reasons is PERHAPS/MAYBE that UiTM can provide good education to their children?

yelah kan… duit banyak… kenapa tak hantar ke Lim Kok Wing je… (for example) UiTM kan tak bagus… nanti kawan-kawan family tu yg terdiri daripada Datin-datin atau Datuk-Datuk menghina status U pulak… “ape currlass (read: kelas) UiTM kan kampung jerrr…”

and NH, try to read the entry from this blog… it’s pretty interesting.

FYI, I’m not trying to be in favour of UiTM eventhough in this comment, I am. I just think that somehow, generalization always occurred and i think it’s unfair.

There is a place name INTEC in UiTM Shah Alam and you should check out what races dominating that place~and it’s not Malay

Reply to This comment

ooh INTEC is an exception…..it’s a prepatory centre for all bright students, regardless of any race to be sent by their sponsors to international universities worldwide. Of course lah there are no bumis too.

But if these non bumi “UiTM students” passed their A-levels and yet failed to secure places at any international universities, there’s no way for UiTM to accept them as a “real” UiTM student; err I mean for any diploma/ degree courses. The bumis still got a chance, provided that they fullfill the requirements for courses that they wish to pursue in.

Okay let’s back to the main point……yeah it’s true that malays are very generous….we always think about others, like poverty among indians….

But sometimes there’s a limit to be generous……Mr Noktah Hitam…..Please have a look at statistics on percentage of admission into public universities based on race, since zaman meritokrasi until 2009

You will be very pleased to know that, even we bumiputras managed to secure most places in public universities, we really are MINORITY in critical courses such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, law etc.In fact we are nearly pupus in courses like pharmacy. Rest of bumis usually dominate “susah nak cari kerja” courses such as arts, business and religious studies. No wonder we bumiputras always ranked no1 in the list of unemployed graduates. Menang sorak kampung tergadai.

Plus bumis aren’t finacially strong to enroll their children in much expansive private or international universities, unlike other races (esp chinese towkays).

But thanks to UiTM, our country is able to balance, BY NUMBER the composition of races in critical courses, and in the future the composition of professionals based on race. A vital requirement for national stability and harmony kan?

Therefore for UiTM, QUANTITY like quality matters. It is useless to produce world-class professional bumi graduates but at the same time non-bumi graduates outnumber us by 2-3-4-5-6-7-8 folds. And in the future, there might be a huge gap between the number of bumi and non bumi professionals, which I believe is one of main reasons behind the 13th May tragedy

Based on UiTM’s yearly enrollment, 10% means 10000. for my faculty it means 25 future doctors. And for my friend’s faculty, 20 future pharmacist.

And thousands of non-bumis are pursuing critical courses like medicine and pharmacy in private
and international universities(which we bumis are merely dreaming of).

I don’t believe of 10%-policy as proposed by TSK. Soon or later, the percentage might be raised based on current pro non-bumi situation, and there’s a probability that UiTM, in the future might end up like UKM, where non-bumis dominate critical courses.

10% of non-bumi intake will foster unity?
Are you making a joke/ trying to make me laugh?
Look at reality. Look at bumis and non bumis at other universities.
They only mixed up with their race. Esp chinese and also shamely, my race.
(Except for indians. I personally salute them for being able to mix up with other races)
Only work together if being pushed by lectures during tutorials and assignments
Even if UiTM open 10% to non-bumis, nothing will change.
Most likely will end up like MRSM and Matrix, mix up only with their own race (my brother told me)
Like malay proverb “melentur buluh biar dari rebungnya” these students are already became buluh
To foster unity, it must be started since early days. Like sekolah rendah wawasan (which sadly non-bumis rejected)

Sorry, too much usage of manglish

I know, the qualification for admission to Uitm is super low. It is for average Joe and Jane to pursue higher education. But, as I stated, “Human Change”. They can change themselves with awareness instilled in their heart and mind. Thus, there are quality grad students from Uitm. agree? yes of course you agreed.

Now, what makes Uitm rotten like forever?
It’s the management. F* the system and the people who did this. The management is ridiculously unbearable. That is the factor that makes Uitm worst and the worst factor affects the students pretty much everything. Don’t blame the students. They are innocent.
The bad system makes the student look bad. Thus, there are campaign for awareness among malays. To be precisely, among Uitm grad students. and ofcourse, there is your blog post…

Now, open up our mindset, don’t blame the Malays, blame the system that ‘some’ people has created for personal agenda. Dont blame the race. how f*ed up are you to blame the whole race. Dont dare say to me, you dont blame the malay race. You blame them. Now change…

I don’t care the figure 10% 30% or 50% open for non-bumis,
as long as the system hasn’t change, we’re not going anywhere. TRUST ME.

i know i’m extremely late to make a note, just came to this blog by accident as i was doing a research on the faculty of medicine in UiTM.

first of all, just to keep note, i am not a malay. i’m a halfbreed of chinese mix nyonya (which have a lil touch of malay but is not recognized by the government other than just being chinese)

juz to keep y’all reminded, the reason UiTM was established is due to help the bumiputeras and give them the upper hand in a higher level of education. if UiTM is to open to the non-bumis, i guess it would be time for them to re-established every single one of their goals n mission. now… we wouldn’t want that isn’t it?

however, we have to keep one thing in mind. fees in UiTM is relatively the lowest of the lot as its highly subsidized by the government under the MARA scheme. now, where do all these money come from? everyones pockets…

maybe we should open up a university for non-bumis only. n lets see where that lead us to =P~

PS: just a thought in my mind.

generally education is for all..
the only solution to open (up) to non bumi is on the hand of agreement among all members in parliment.

nowdays uitm change its policies to open up for Foreign student.. Why we cant accept our friend chinese and indian..?

1 malaysian is just a symbolic and its doent means anything..

All of you student..patut tak matang.. Fakta yang diberi ni semua salah.. Biasalah budak universiti ni suka ikut emosi… Sila Rujuk Perlembagaan… Kalau tak faham sila tanya peguam India atau Cina yang melambak-lambak dan tahu perkara sebenar tapi menyembunyikan. Sila Rujuk Perkara 3, 14, 15 dan 38. Hak istimewa orang Melayu tidak boleh dipersoalkan. British tak nak terima kaum India dan Cina sebagai rakyat British tetapi orang Melayu sanggup menerima kaum India dan Cina dengan syarat kaum tersebut perlu akur dengan Perlembagaan. Kalau tak nak terima, ok, u balik India la… Cuba la u lawan…u dengan blog u ni masuk ISA.. Tq.

dJ Carmen…

U ni bodoh kan..tapi nasib baik diterima masuk U.. nanti i report la kat UiTM. Apa maksud Melayu? Sila Rujuk Perlembagaan… Mana-mana dari sebelah ibu atau ayah berketurunan Melayu maka U adalah Bangsa Melayu.. U sepatutnya bangga jadi orang Melayu… Disebabkan generasi macam ini lah Kaum Lain menentang Perlembagaan… Tapi ingat, Perlembagaan adalah undang-undang tertinggi Negara Malaysia.. Kita bukan demokrasi macam Amerika ye… Kita adalah Demokrasi Raja Berpelembagaan… Bodoh kan budak universiti sekarang… Harap meniru je..

Sape cakap Parameswara dari India…ni lagi student Malaysia yang bodoh dan tak berkualiti tapi ada hati nak persoalkan UiTM… Parameswara dari Kepulauan Melayu Jambi yang mengamalkan cara hidup Hindu tapi bukan beragama Hindu..Kerana pengaruh Hindu adalah meluas pada waktu itu..contoh cara hidup adalah seperti adat bersanding dan mengganggapo pokok tertentu adalah berkuasa… Pada waktu itu.. ok faham? Biasala korang ni tak faham fakta sket.. meniru lebih.. Tapi dia keluar dari Kepulauan Jambi yang diperintah Majapahit kerana naluri ingin memerintah dia kuat. So dia pergi Temasik (Singapura) yang diperintah oleh Siam dan membunuh pemerintahnya. Maka Parameswara diburu oleh Siam, Parameswara bergerak ke Tanah Melayu dan mengasaskan Melaka.. Parameswara memeluk Islam dan beragama Islam. Nak details, baca sendiri Buku Sejarah Tanah Melayu..

U kutuk lah Kaum Melayu selagi u boleh bercakap.. Tapi kita ada undang-undang berperlembagaan ye.. Jangan sembarangan cakap. Sebenarnya Kaum India dan Cina ni dari dahulu lagi tamak.. Tengok bila Singapura jatuh ke tangan Cina..apa jadi? Kaum Melayu memang minoriti la.. Kaum India lagi la..boleh bilang dengan jari saja.. Sejarah dah membuktikan Si Kitul yang berketurunan India Raja Mandeliar telah membunuh satu keturunan Raja Melayu Puteri Rokan yang berketurunan Parameswara.. Hilang satu keturunan Melayu.. Dan dari keturunan Raja Mandeliar jugalah telah menghasut membunuh Bendahara Tun perak sekeluarga yang bijaksana. Hilang lagi generasi Melayu.. nampaknya kaum ni mula nak menghasut lagi..

Saya dari bidang sains tapi saya sedar dan peka dengan negara Malaysia. Malangnya pelajar sekarang bodoh mengenai asal usul bangsa mereka yang tak sedar diri. Tak puas hati…balik India dan Cina la.. Duduk Malaysia jadi bom masa pula…Kita perlu hapuskan golongan bom masa perkauman yang tak menghormati undang-undang negara ini. Syarat nya senang saja.. U tak nak terima Perlembagaan.. kerajaan tarik balik warganegara.. itulah syarat kaum India dan Cina diterima di negara ini.

Aina.. u ni Melayu bodoh kan.. U pergilah mana-mana Universiti semua management pun macam tu.. Kenapa? Sebab management melayu macam u la wujud… Tak ada rasa nak bangunkan negara.. U belum rasa belajar kat Singapura or Universiti majoriti Cina.. Baru kau tahu langit tinggi rendah dan waktu tu kau akan bersyukur berada di UiTM.. Cakap baik2 sket ye..silap haribulan kena tindakan tatatertib.

Pasal babi tu pula… Agama rasmi Persekutuan adalah Agama Islam. Mana-mana agama lain boleh diamalkan dengan aman damai. Kalau isu babi timbul, maka agama tersebut perlu dahulukan Agama Islam. Kerana isu dah timbul, keamanan tegugat. Mana lawyer Cina dan India? Siapa nak tentang? Betul tak? Sebenarnya Kaum Cina dan India berbunyi kerana belum diambil tindakan undang-undang. Selagi boleh menyalak…fine menyalak.. Bercakap guna akal fikiran ye.

Kaum Melayu banyak bertoleransi dan berkorban terhadap kaum lain dengan cara memberi taraf warganegara pada Kaum India dan kaum Cina dengan syarat kaum tersebut menerima 4 Perkara Utama Mengenai Kepentingan Orang Melayu dalam Perlembagaan. Kalau skang kaum2 ni nak bising melalak..sila tukar warganegara jadi warganegara Indon ke.. Kalau dah jadi warga Indon..kaum India n Cina bukan kena terima 4…tapi 18 Perkara. Antara nya nama Siva jadi Hermanto… nama keturunan Cina WOng jadi Yanto… kalu sanggup sila blah dari Malaysia. Lagi ko kaji sendiri lah Perlembagaan Indonesia tu. Sedar diri sket…

Kepada semua orang Melayu…. jangan terlalu menjaga hati kaum lain sangat sebab bila blog macam ni wujud menunjukkan mereka mula mempersoalkan mengenai Perlembagaan kita yang mereka harus terima sebagai syarat menjadi warganegara Malaysia. Kita perlu jelas tentang hak-hak kita dan milik kita. Bila mereka mempersoalkan maknanya kita ada hak untuk mempersoalkan taraf warganegara mereka. Jangan gadaikan hak milik kita untuk menjaga hati kaum lain.Sebab kita belum tahu nasib kita di tangan mereka macamana. Sepatutnya kaum Cina dan India bersyukur kaum Melayu bukan sekejam Israel atau Serbia atau Singapura.

Hmm Salam pada yg boleh menjawab salam. Aku orang melayu beragama Islam, kawan2 lain dalam ni pun ramai yg berbangsa Melayu berugama Islam. Bangsa lain tengok kita bercakar dalam parlimen sesama bangsa melayu=MEREKA GELAK. Yg kita kt sini nk bercakar sesama bangsa melayu+muslim kenapa pula, nak bagi kene gelak sama juge ke? Bangun wahai penyokong kerajaan maupun pembangkang, kita sepatutnya memikirkan bagaimana nk kuatkan ekonomi dan jatidiri bangsa+muslim agar tidak di tindas seperti bangsa+muslim2 lain yg berada di tanah air mereka tapi lastly di keroyok oleh org luar. Masih nak butakan mata ke? Tak nampak atau buat2 tak nampak apa yg terjadi pada bangsa melayu+muslim dia SINGAPURA? Tak nampak apa yg terjadi di Bosnia smpai, kenapa bangsa kita+muslim tak nak amik iktibar dan buat mcm org2 Thai/Indonesia dan lain2nya. Mereka hanya accept org2 luar yg migrate ke negara mereka jika org2 luar sanggup mengikuti jatidiri asal negara2 tersebut baik dari segi nama maupun bahasa. Kita kt Malaysia ni dah cukup beri muka, tapi bg “Mereka”, masih tidak cukup lagi. Adakah kelak kita nak buang segala Raja2 kita dan bertuankan mereka mcm di SINGAPURA baru kita hendak sedar dan buka mata? Jangan la terlambat dan nasi menjadi bubur baru kita hendak menyesal, BERPADA2 BILA INGIN BERKATA SESUATU. Wpun kita saling bercakaran ttg politik, tapi kita tetap Bangsa yg sama setidak2nya, dan yg paling penting kita adalah MUSLIM, so jgnlah berlebih2an dalam tingkah laku kita sesama MUSLIM. Ini asas yg perlu dijaga. Sedarlah..

look at these narrow minded ppl taking bout how their inferiority survives…get a grip ppl…if chinese n other races like indians are immigrants…what makes malays different…read your history books and stop being like an imbecile…we all are immigrants…the only thing is that the malays was supported from the gov…malays form their gov and then i must bring back singapores exclusion of Msia…i guess lee Kuan yew look back and smile thinking “luckily i din screw up…and leave the imbeciles way of governing a country”…compare SG n Msia…and the prove is clearly there…we M’sians are 10 years behind…and that is why we will never succeed in 2020 n most likely wont be progressing any further…if UITM open up to non – bumi’s i guess its a great opportunity for the malays to compete and give their very best since they claim they are superior races and majorities in the country…if u think u can do it…why not try to prove us non-bumis wrong??? all the talking n no action is cheap ppl…SG and china n let a lone taiwan n HK proove that Msia and indonesia are far way behind…accept the fact and learn from the pass…work smart…right~…i assume smart in ur term means “boss tak ade…relak la”…”boss tak nampak…tak peduli lah”…”ah assignment??? tak payah la…confrim dapat lulus”…”tak ada kerja???…tak apa…kerajaan kan suap makan”…

UiTM SUCKS!

Try interviewing their 4.0 students. They can’t converse even the most basic of english.

Words get tangled up. Singulars become plurals, and vice versa, past becomes present tense… argh.. sad sad sad

So fucking what… scared of opening UiTM for all.. I say don’t bother.. fucking waste of brain matter.

Malays are just fucking scared of competition.

I am a Malay. I made sure I didn’t work in the govt. I made sure I looked for a company surrounded by Chinese & Indians (Malaysians too ler)

I wanted to be surrounded by people who are resilient, hard working, down to earth, and not racist.

I wanted to work in a place which rewards hard work. Not on who’s ass you kiss..

Yea so there!

Fuck u racist bastards if u are one!

Im an UiTM graduate..

It’s interesting to see all these debate surrounding UiTM , what’s even more interesting, is that most of those who seem to be on the critical side of matters, have not even stepped foot inside the university, let alone know the basic facts about the varsity that few are aware of..

-UiTM is a university that caters to Bumis(of course everyone knows this), just like how some other unis cater to a certain group of people,which i shall not mention..yeah, UiTM believe it or not, is not the only one, peeps.

-UiTM academic staff are the highest paid among public unis. hence, the university is a host to many good lecturers. but i don’t deny the quality of some graduates are somewhat mediocre, a result of easy admissions. but to say it is because of the the system its self, is a manifest falsehood.

-this is where i’m in the middle, i do believe admissions to non-bumis is not only fair to the non-bumis, but essential to improve the education among bumis.

-what i DON’T AGREE on, are the rude generalizations made upon UiTM graduates. I speak better english than half of those who criticized us.half of UiTM students, are at least moderate users like me,if not better. having that said, although english is no doubt is important, but it is by no means the only gauge of one’s competency. what use of it if u are able to speak partially fluent english,but not competent?BTW,the problem of english is one that is shared by ALL public unis. ive talked to a large number of graduates from supposedly the best public unis in Msia, but they still struggle to speak english.
and the apparent poor grads from UiTM are the results of the sheer number of grads it produces in each convocation ceremony. mind u that this uni has a branch in almost every state in Msia.so of course there are going to be a lot of bad sheep. the good ones wont even bother to visit sites like these(i just stumbled upon it really,plus im very defensive when it comes to my uni).

To conclude,I’m a proud UiTM graduate..So are the other thousands of grads..We love this uni, this country. I urge the bumis step up and prove that u are better that this. I plead those who are non-UiTMs to not generalize us. is a uni like no other. I hope the uni will someday open up, a bit, if UiTMers are to be respected at all.
