After 40 years of being a system of mass production of Bumiputra, or essentially Malay professionals and political-economic elite, having achieved its objective of helping restructure society and enjoying generous funds from the government at the expense of the expenditure of the government schools, should the MARA Junior Science College Project be dismantled or its ...policy of almost exclusively 100% Malay-quota be radically changed to let 50 percent deserving but bright non-Malays be admitted?
Will this system of educational apartheid and a place of mass indoctrination of the Malay-Muslim ideology of social dominance be replaced immediately by a system that would allow for equality, equal opportunity, and equity as well as a place to promote genuine national unity? Has the MRSM system been successful? Or-- has it been a successful failure?
Does the MRSM system promote tolerance for the views of people of different races, different faiths, or even class ..? what kind of leaders will emerge out of the exclusively Malay-Muslim mold?
What kind of leaders will emerged? None! Most global corporations hire top management with exposure to at least 2 or 3 cultures, who have live or studied in different countries....the young Malays today are very different & exposed to informations that was not available say 15 years

With its insistence on being a Malay-centric, MRSM these days are not preparing children to survive in a multicultural, cosmopolitan, and ever-changing world that requires English as an important skill, and an outlook that is more open to learning about other cultures especially in the context of a rapidly changing Malaysia.
Those specialisations in each MRSM school are merely cliches filled with educational terminologies that are not fully understood but fully acceptable as a platform to appease the needs of the current regime.
Regimentation is necessary it seems to tune the mind of the monolithic mono-cultural students to accept governmental dictates making them in turn, one-dimensional beings.
Are any of those MRSMs suitable for Malaysian children? Or are they merely training and indoctrinating grounds to prop up yet another breed of leaders that will sustain the culture of blind following neo-feudalism of Ketuanan Melayu that itself is a dying specie?
Do parents know what goes on in the culture of the MRSM boarding schools and what goes on in the minds of your children?
In this context, we must look at the difference between education, schooling, indoctrination, mind-control, and liberation in thinking. I would say that the MRSM system is a successful failure.
