DATUK Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (BN-Ayer Hitam) (pic) has raised concerns over the declining number of top Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) scorers being admitted into public universities through the Unit Pusat Universiti (UPU) system compared to matriculation and foundation pathway students since 2018.
In response, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said offers to STPM and equivalent leavers for entry into public universities have actually increased by 90.1% over the past seven years.
