Sarawak CM Adenam Satem must be congratulated for taking that long-overdue step of recognizing the United Examination Certificate awarded to graduates of local Chinese independent schools.
But at the federal level, the Ministry of Education are still refusing to change their stance and continue to discriminate against this group of Malaysians. After all, many countries all over the world have given due recognition to UEC but sad to say, not Malaysia.
And we have no issue with freely allowing foreign students to come to Malaysia to pursue tertiary education based on ‘other’ equivalent entry qualifications.
Between you and me, the quality of some of these international students is suspect. I know this first-hand because I am teaching at a private university.
if you don't already know, education is big business in this country.
Toastmasters from District 51 and also those from Singapore made a beeline for Desaru in Johore for the 23rd Semi-Annual Conference over the weekend. ‘Organized mayhem’ is probably the best description for this event.
And you may be interested to know that for the third year running, Sunway University Toastmasters Club received the President's Distinguished Club award!
