M. Thasvenraj from Ampang, who scored 9 As in his SPM in 2021 and a CGPA 4.0 in both semesters in his matriculation programme this year said he was only offered a place for Medical Imaging course in Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UNISZA), which was his fifth choice of university and wished he was offered the first choice in Universiti Malaya (UM) instead.
