Masing unhappy with religious questions in engineering scholarship interview


KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president Tan Sri James Masing has expressed concern on how a non-Muslim student was asked Islamic-based questions during an interview for the Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) scholarship.

Nigel Unchat Jeremaiah, who scored 9As in last year's SPM examination, was participating in a group question-and-answer session in which the candidates were asked questions on Muslim prayers (rukun Solat) and the names of Muslim prophets, among others.
