Not granted PSD scholarship still a Blessing

This is indeed another sad chapter of the country’s history. Again the government has denied recognition for the smart, brilliant and hard working students by increasing the chance for them to be honored PSD scholarships, just because they are non-natives (Chinese, Indian, others not considered natives).

After 50 years of independence, BN especially UMNO still play the role of Malay supremacy to deny the non-natives. So what for the Chinese and Indian people have to sacrifice their votes for the supremacy of a Kris Party who will always play their own version of apartheid policy? Even if Chinese and Indians are important to BN’s victory, they are still treated like the 2nd class citizens. The people don’t see any sign that UMNO would want to allow more numbers of this scholarship with so-called non-native people. Even some natives among orang asli, Sabah and Sarawak are been treated unequally, when it comes to education. Some of these non-native ancestors had reside in this land much earlier than some of the ancestors of the Mamak and Sino Malays serving in UMNO.

Stir a bit on their so-called special rights is like sparking a kiamat movie in making for these narrow-minded politicians and their supporters. No matter how disgraceful W. Ka Siong felt over the PSD scholarship quota, it is unlikely that MCA and other non-native parties will be able to change the situation in the presence of the kris party. But hey, failure not to be offered a PSD scholarship is actually a blessing in disguise, a hidden reality that should be rejoiced.

Come on non-native smart people, why should you wait for the PSD scholarship if you are outstanding and brilliant. Should the government fail to fulfill your hope, that doesn’t signal the end of your future? Other countries also offer similar scholarship to promising foreign students, with much better deals. Chan Sek Keong, the Chief Justice of Singapore is a good example of Malaysian born Singaporean, who excels to the highest post as CJ, as one of the lawyers that secured the republic’s claim on Pedra Branca, which originally suppose to be ours. So, next time when you feel like a scapegoat in your own land, think about the gold outside the fence and the blessings that you can offer to the other side of the world.

Think again, if you are smart, do you think it's worthwhile to serve a government lead by BN and controlled by froggy morons, should they request you to serve the bond period. Come on, forget about it. What a waste to spend your youth, expertise and professional service under a government, which put racial cards as 1st priority when it comes to promotions and various type of restrictions. You as the brilliant breed can do much more better elsewhere than sitting inside the government cells. Right now, you should feel relieve and thankful for the chance of been denied a PSD scholarship.
