Deputy
education minister Datuk Wee Ka Siong said in Dewan Negara (9/7/2012)
that for the 2012/2013 intake 4512 Indian students have applied and
from that 1539 or 34.11% were offered seats in the 13 matriculation
colleges. 1000 students were offered in the first intake and to
register on 28/5/2012 and the balance 539 students in the second intake
and to register on 13 June 2012.
However from the first intake on 28/5/2012 and second intake on
13/6/2012, only 943 or 61.27% Indian students enrolled in the 13
matriculation colleges. An appeal period from 25/4/2012 to 13/5/2012
was offered to rejected students to appeal again. 34456 students
appealed out of which 9527 were non Malays. Then on 2/7/2012 the DPM
and education minister made a one off offer to 557 Indian students to
fill the vacancy of Indian students who declined the offer. The
selection for this intake is already made and offer letter will be send
latest by 11/7/2012 and they will register on the 18th july 2012 in the
13 matriculation colleges in whole Malaysia.
There is one matriculation college each in
Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pulau Pinang, Perlis, Wilayah Persekutuan
Labuan, Perak and Selangor. However there are 2 colleges in Johore,
Kedah and Pahang. 13 matriculation colleges in Malaysia take in 26700
students to study in their science and accounting streams per year.
Since inception in 1999 till 2011, 97% of 220392 students have been
successfully enrolled to local universities through matriculation
colleges. From the year 2003 a 10% quota was reserved for non Malays.
Politicians and Indian based NGOs must
investigate why out of 1539 only 943 students or 61.27% accepted the
offer and the balance 586 students rejected the offer? An in depth
study will reveal the actual reasons behind the rejection.
1.
Students were offered seats after 1 semester and therefore students
need to catch all the previous classes and this will lead to deterioration of
their CGPA to further their studies in public Universities and securing a
better course.
2. Students were called at 11th hour, 1 week before the final exam and offered them a seat.
3. Receiving wrong letter of offer and this costs time and money to communicate and secure a place.
4.
Some of the Registrar staff encourage the students to enroll and the
reason was that students will not be able to catch up with their studies
and will fail in their exams due to late entry. This causes fear among students and
reject the offer.
