Fairness

1. There is this recent development of students (particularly non-malay) who are not able to gain scholarship even when they scored very good results.

2. YB Wee Ka Siong has been contributing to the community by going public to pressurise the relevant authorities to take stern action against civil servants who practiced biasness in the awarding of scholarship process.

3. Here comes the issue of fair distribution of opportunity to the citizens, in this case, the students.

4. Opportunity should be given to all qualified ones to pursue their dreams and not be sidelined due to racial cards. It is rather sad to learn that students not being able to pursue their chosen profession just because they are not given the opportunity to do so even if they are well qualified.

5. It is a life-time issue here, as that student will not be able to realise his or her fullest potential in his or her area of interest and that really put a stop for productive contribution in that chosen profession, that hinders the nation's vision towards becoming a developed nation by year 2020 whereby 50% of the country's labour workforce are skilled labour.

6. Fairness based on merits is what all government needs to pursue to ensure fair and just distribution of opportunity and the country's resources. This promotes good governance and demonstrate competency, transparency and accountability.

7. For those unfortunate ones (students) that are unable to receive a scholarship, never ever give up on your dreams, work harder and be stronger to work your way to achieve your dreams.

8. That makes you a better person because you simply get to understand what OPPORTUNTY & HARDSHIP really is... and most important of all, that makes you a STRONGER PERSON!
