Subsidised UPU spots shrinking, report on local varsity intake to be made public, says Dr Wee

The MCA president said the report would support his claim that subsidised Universiti Pusat Unit (UPU) placements are shrinking, while full-fee places, although expanding, offer limited benefit to local students, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds.
