Harsh reality of education in Malaysia

I WAS brought up with the belief that education is a powerful tool to uplift people from poverty. As education does not come cheap in Malaysia, every hopeful student endeavours hard to achieve academic excellence in order to secure scholarships or financial aid.

I am a victim of the injustice in our education system which seems to defy the global trend by awarding scholarships to students based not on academic excellence but racial agendas.
