Another round of JPA scholarship. Probably the 2nd round after mine. Gosh ,that made me feel damn old. haha .
There's a 17A's kid that got denied for the oversea scholarship, instead, he was offered the local scholarship. I totally understand how unfair he felt. Afterall, I was once a victim ( due to my own foolishness. lol. o shall I be grateful now?)But, this also showed the typical msia attitude we have.( that we deserve everythin in the world, jst bcx of us bein "sumthin" o "sumone") Looking at it, I do hv few words to pen down regarding this system, which I am of the view that it is the government created their own shit instead of us.
Lets start with Msia education system. Government been stating that this scholarship is of very competitive nature as there are many high scorers in our country . thus, it is reasonable that many of these would not be able to make into the circle. However, is that true that we do have that many genius in this country ? If only the government did not lower the passing grade rate, I m sure at least half of these high scorers would not make into the circle of A-string's . This may be cruel, but it is necessary, as the advantages would definitely outweigh the disadvantages. As for one, the real deserving one would get the scholarship as opposed to those who merely scrap through their grade for A's. Besides that, most of our students wont be so arrogant about their results . Look at the students nowaday, try and have a talk with them, especially those who think they are brilliant, and you'll understand what I am trying to say . Thus, if only the initial education system was fair, there would not be much problem on the scholarship.
2nd, in regards to the selection. It was stated that 20% of the scholarship is dependable on students' co-curricular. I myself, am definitely one that will feel unfair although i have various posts in school, which make me to be able to score quite high in it. Reason as to this, is because,it is hard to judge the co-curricular. Does it able to judge my attitude as well? definitely no. Besides, what about my working experiences? how are they to judge it? there are also alot of those idle president, yet they got the same marks as me. Gosh!
I find the co-curricular system to be quite redundant. jst imagine for one to get the medicine schoalrship, he is to be a national state badminton,or swimmer. I , for one, find no relevancy of such with his profession. For certain course, however, a co-curricular achievement would be great, for an example, on management, which falls mainly on your leadership and managaement skill. Nevertheless, as most of the courses offered are for the professionals, which emphasize more on academic, i find it interesting that the governement are jst making their life harder and creating more complains for themselves(co-curricular and academic together is a very subjective issue) Of course, if the students are aiming for US uni, that would be a different story. But, I believe in the equal effort theory.This I shall cover in the next few paragraphs.
3rd,For the government to award the scholarship straight after SPM is quite a big risk to the government and tax-payer money. As the chinese saying goes, one being good at the beginning does not signifies the success in the future. If the students are brilliant, they should learn to score the desired uni on their own efforts. There are students who fall back once they got the scholarship. Although they did not obtain high score for their pre-uni, but they are still able to secure the scholarship. This is absolutely unfair.
By right, the government should put up a conditional offer instead of a firm one. Alternatively, they should award the scholarship only after pre-uni. Afterall, pre-uni course are available everywhere in Msia.
4thly, the system on sponsorship instead of scholarship. It is very important for the government to emphasize that students are to return and contribute to the country moment they graduate. If government is to make our country the education hub, it is even more important to ensure these scorer's return. As told by my friend, the job placement and scholarship were handled by 2 different agency.As such , it is predictable that there would be no coherence between the courses sponsored and job available. This is definitely a waste of our taxpayers money . Definitely, scholars deserve the sponsorship, but not the scholarship. All of us worked hard to pay our study . If you are brilliant, you probably will shine in your academic field, but that doesnt mean its should be a tool for you to earn money. There are so many brilliant scorers out there as well, jst because they have the money , they cant score the scholarship. Why would this be so ? Jst because their rich ? but , think propoerly,isnt those money are hard-earned money too? what justify a poor student to get free money to study when anader average student who is real hardworkin in making ends meet should not get the scholarship? jst because he is hardworkin? In a sense, this is just encouraging people to stop working and hope for the money to drop from sky( which is what happening now) Thus, it is definitely fair to bond a student in this sense. If you are poor, you can still find a way to fund yourself, at least local. Else, you get the sposorship, you just work it off in the future and contribute to the one who sponsor u(ie Us, the taxpayers) BE grateful! n not kacang lupakan kulit. no matter what, you shouldnt get free lunch, merely because you are smart. Even rich or middle class student also earn their money in their own way, they dun just sit and wait.
Besides, our country wants to make the uni here as education hub. As such , I totally find no relevance in them not making sure these scholars to return .If they want to pursue their postgraduate, let it be, but this doesnt justify them to break the bond. you probably could delay , but not letting it go just like that. it may be good that they are self-motivated. but this is not beneficial to the nation(which definitely weigh more than just one individual who is not patriotic) .their returns is essential to ensure the education in Msia to be better , instead of kept falling back bcx of us losing these scholars. Thus, because of the inconsistencies and loose condition on ensuring their return , most of the students aim for this free lunch, which lead to all these mess. If only the system on makin sure their contribution back to country is efficient, I m definite that this would definitely turns lotsa scorers away from applying this. Although this may be cruel, but it is essential to educate ppl, esp students(whose mind still unpolluted) that there is no free lunch in this world, while ensuring a good payback on our tax. Afterall, giving them these money is by forgoing opportunity cost such as improving country health,transport or even economic system!! Dun u knw all these money cn be put in better use? for ppl who is even in worse condition? like poor elder people who cannot afford medical cost, or for inspiring entreprenaurs to get some fund to start their business? Thus, lookin at all these opportunity cost the governemnet forego by puttin in into these scorers. it is definitely justiciable to drag them back to contribute to the country regardless of any reason they gave.
Last but not least, I really find it a total bullshit that these students kept telling nonsense that they deserved a scholarship. Honestly, jst bcx ure hardworking, that doesnt mean u deserve anything. The life is unfair, face it. In fact, you should be grateful that at least your hardwork pays. If hardworks is justiciable for something you think you deserve, then I believe all the janitors should be millionaire now, or even get the scholarship, as compared to nerds/geeks who does nothin other than hiding in books, or even alot of students who worked so hard but couldnt get the desired result bcx of some twist in fate.Now, you may think I have no right to throw all these your face, but let me tell you this, I was once a scholar like you . and I chose the hard route, because I learnt more. I chose not the scholarship, not because I m rich , but because I dun plan to contribute nor comin bak to this country. Thus, I play it the fair way. I dun take those hard-earned taxpayer money for my self pleasure , without contributing back .
Heard that this one should be the best. because it is dotted. I think the function is similar to a vibrator. Anyway, it's best for those who are adventurous and those who enjoy extra sensation! haha
This is another one that I kinda like~! Nyway, I dont really use the content. So I use the box to put all my stuff. including my monthly stuff!It look so adorable that nobody will know what's inside!! Aint that super cool!!! =) haha
