To hell with UITM

I read with absolute disgust the response to Selangor MB Khalid Ibrahim’s proposal that UITM set a 10% quota for non-Bumiputra students. I think UITM is nothing but a racist, mediocre institution. Can it even smell the fart of the National University of Singapore (NUS)? No. All that UITM is known for is winning ridiculous awards at dumb, lame-ass competitions and then boast about it as though they have won the Nobel Prize.

Speaking of Nobel Prizes, you want to know why Malaysia has never produced a single Nobel prize winner? Because of the stupid quota system in universities. Simple. 60% of places to Bumpitura (read: Muslim Malays) and the rest to the Chinese and Indians. That drama repeats itself every single year. And need I say that most of the Bumiputras who get into universities neither possess the brains nor the talent to be there? They are there not because they are intelligent, hardworking or talented. They are there just because they are Malays. That’s the simple truth. And that does not promote healthy competition which would improve the overall standards of the universities. It just produces mediocrity.

Don’t give me crap about “meritocracy”. The criteria for admission into local universities is a mockery of meritocracy. It is anti-meritocracy, no matter how you spin it. This is because the Bumiputras take their Matriculation exams and the non-Bumis take the STPM. I’ve personally asked a few non-Malays who’ve made it into Matriculation and they assure me that the syllabus is almost as simple as Form 3. If you’ve sat for the STPM exam, you’d know that it is one tough-ass examination to undergo. Therefore, it’s impossible to compare the two examinations and claim “meritocracy”. There is no way of comparing the two.

Anyway, I digress. It amuses me to see the whole bunch of MORONS from UITM protesting. They are so proud of their pathetic university. Hey, just a friendly reminder: you guys will be contributing significantly to the unemployment rate in Malaysia in a few years time. Or you could sign up for the civil service and come to work at 8am, have tea at 10am, lunch at 12pm, come back to work at 2pm, have more tea at 3.30pm and go home at 4.45pm. Like what happens in almost all government offices.

Why bother going to UITM if you’re non-Malay? Don’t waste 3 years of your life suffering the likes of these racist bastards and their lousy teaching. Find a way to go overseas and study and work and make a better life for yourself. You deserve better.
