A need for fair, equitable access to higher education for all

The recent response by the Higher Education Department seems to suggest that public universities are only admitting students with absolute perfect scores. There is a need to address this. As such, MCA Youth believes that the director-general of Higher Education should provide clarity.

On comments made regarding STPM top-scorer Edward Wong Yi Xian’s situation, rather than calls for an apology from our party, we would suggest the Higher Education Ministry, Universiti Malaya (UM), and indeed the Madani government should reflect on how this has been handled.
