EDUCATION Minister Dr Maszlee Malik’s remark linking the continuation of the matriculation quota to the low private sector employment of Bumiputeras is a first casualty to the prime minister’s recent announcement on “Shared Prosperity”. Private corporations put their money in their mouths. What politicians spill is often hot air giving meaning to rhetoric that is accustomed in the profession.
While a person’s capabilities, character and language proficiency – including to some extent the Mandarin language – are all realistic, market-driven and time-tested demands of the private sector, policies on matriculation and its ethnic quota system are erratic, changeable and determined by the whims of politicians. Linking the two, like mixing oil and water, shows naivety, insincerity and non-conformance to the voices of change that swept the last general election, and even exudes racism on the part of Maszlee.

*Nelson Mandela replied that he will not allow any type of Reservations in any sector i.e. in education sector, in govt sector & in private sector at any cost, because Reservations & the products of Reservations will destroy the whole nation!*
*The famous statement of Nelson Mandela is displayed at the entrance of the University of South Africa thus:*
*"Destroying any nation does not require the use of atomic bombs or the use of long range missiles. _It only requires lowering the quality of education and allowing cheating in the examinations by the students._"*
*Patients die at the hands of such quack doctors.*
*Buildings collapse at the hands of such dubious engineers.*
*Money is lost in the hands of such bankers, economists & accountants.*
*Humanity dies at the hands of such pseudo religious scholars.*
*Justice is lost at the hands of such corrupt judges...*
*"The collapse of education is the collapse of a nation."*...
*How relevant to todays Malaysia
*When South Africa got independence from white rulers in 1990 under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, his supporters, mainly African Tribes, demanded Reservations in education sector, govt sector & in private sector!*

They are many among us sensible Malays who aspire to have a fair and equal Malaysia and are fighting for it. You tarred all of them with the same brush. Are you a racist? Shame on you too!

NGOs can be as valuable as ideas people as the private sector is to building economic muscle.

Mediocrity knows no bound. What a silly billy for a Minister. Dr M must have really scraped the bottom of the Bersatu barrel.
