KUALA LUMPUR: The MCA Youth Secretariat says it has received 173 appeal cases from post-SPM students whose applications for admission into matriculation were rejected."Among them, four students took nine subjects and scored full As. If they are not admitted to the matriculation programme, does it mean they will have no chance to enter local universities?" said MCA Youth chief Ling Tian Soon at a press conference on Thursday .
Ling called on the Education Ministry and Higher Education Ministry to clarify the details to ensure consistency between what is announced and what is implemented, to avoid discrepancies between policy and practice."All of our children, when I say children, I mean Malay, Chinese, Indian, Dayak, Kadazan, and all without exception. If our children scored 10As and above or obtained excellent results, without any exception, they will get a place.
