STPM students hard to secure a place for popular courses in local varsity?

Since in the early 80s in the 20th century, the enrolment to the local public universities is base on quota system. It is an unfair system as it base on races and bumiputra are reserves 55% to 65% of the universities places. Some years back, the enrolment system has changed to a worse than the quota system, a ‘meritocracy’ system' which standardized a lower standard matriculation system and world wide recognized STPM. How they standardized a two of different education system is a mystery.

I avoid saying how unfair of the system is, and only those who has gone through this can understand that. You are comparing a one year matriculation that is evaluate by their lecturer, base on test, exams and assignment with a one and a half year STPM with harder and broader syllabus, almost entirely base on one exam.

What make me an ex STPM student who enjoy quota system feeling depress is, this meritocracy enrolment system has make a lot of good STPM student dropping in their way to pursue popular courses like medicine, pharmacy, engineering and accountancy.

According the data collected by Inter-varsity Counseling Group (IVEC) for Chinese student, there are some serious skew of the intake between matriculation and STPM.

I just take some example of the popular courses. It is base on intake 2007/08 and you can look for the information from <http://www.quansheng.org>

Please note that al the data is just from Chinese but I do think it is the same for others except bumiputra.
UM

    1. Medicine - 18 from STPM with CGPA 4.0 while there are 62 students from matriculation background. The maximum score and minimum score of CGPA is 4.0.

    2. Pharmacy - 6 students from STPM with score of CGPA 4.0 while 21 matriculation students with the same score enroll the same course. The max and min score is 4.0 for both streams.

    3. Electrical Engineering - For STPM, 3 with CGPA 4.0 and 1 with CGPA 3.92 manage to enroll. For matriculation, 23 with CGPA 4.0 and 1 with CGPA 3.94 enroll the same course. Please note that 3.92 is the second best score after 4.0 for STPM

    4. Telecommunication Engineering -- Only total 1 student from STPM with a 4.0 score enrolled. 13 students from matriculation with CGPA score of 4.0 enrolled and 1 student with a minimum score 3.88 manage to enrolled.

    5. Mechanical Engineering - 3 students with CGPA 4.0 (STPM) enrolled while a total of 26 students with the same CGPA enrolled is from matriculation

    6. Chemical Engineering - Again, 6 from STPM and 18 from matriculation enrolled. All of them got perfect CGPA, 4.0
    7. Actuary - this one is harder to judge. One student with maximum score 4.0, and one student with a minimum score 3.88 from STPM. 10 students from matriculation with a score of CGPA 4.0 manage to enroll. However, the total Chinese student from STPM is unlikely more than matriculation.

    8. Law - The only course that more intake for STPM students among the popular courses. There are 23 students with maximum score 4.0 and minimum score of 3.83 from STPM while only 5 students from matriculation with a full point score.

UKM

    1. Electrical & Electronic engineering - One from STPM with a 4.0 score while there are 12 from matriculation that has a full score

    2. Mechanical engineering - For STPM, one student with a CGPA 4.0 get the enrolment while 2 students with CGPA 3.92 is the minimum score for this course. Meanwhile, 15 students with CGPA 4.0 enroll while the minimum score is 3.9.

    3. Chemical engineering - Only 2 students from STPM has enrolled for this course. In contrary, there are 23 students with CGPA 4.0 from matriculation and the minimum score is 3.92

    4. Law - May be there is some justice in law faculty. The enrolment for both STPM and matriculation in UKM is even.

    5. Dentistry - Only 4 students with a CGPA 4.0 enroll while 19 students from matriculation with 4.0 score enroll. Besides, there are 2 students enrolled with a minimum score 3.92

    6. Medicine - STPM vs matriculation. 22 vs 61 with a score of 4.0. There are matriculation students that enrolled with a result of 3.95

    7. Pharmacy - Only 12 students from STPM while 30 students from matriculation enrolled for this course.
    8. Actuary - 4 students enrolled with STPM result CGPA 4.0), while 14 matriculation students manage to make it.

UPM

    1. Medicine - A total 6 students enroll with STPM result (range from 3.92 to 4.0) but matriculation has 34 students with 4.0 results a lone manage enroll the same course.

    2. Accountancy - For STPM students, 4 with CGPA 4.0, minimum score is 3 (1 student) and CGPA 4.0 is the mode. Matriculation has 33 students with CGPA 4.0 enrolled accountancy and the minimum score is 3.72. By statistic a lone, you can realize that STPM students are unlikely more than matriculation students.


I can list down much more. But I think it is enough to show matriculation students obviously has the upper hand in the public university application.

There is lonely 10% non bumiputra can enroll matriculation each year. Therefore, the non buimiputra STPM students is far more than matriculation students. However, the Chinese matriculation students that score CGPA 4.0 could be 3-4 times more than STPM students.

What is the logic behind this? Even a mediocre student can score 4.0 in matriculation which only a brilliant STPM students manage to score the same results.

The only explanation is matriculation exam is too easy to pass, to score distinction. Ther is no quality control of matriculation and the ministry of Higher Education has no plan to increase the matriculation standard to be the same par with STPM.

The aim of matriculation is to allow more bumiputra students to enroll public university with a easy and safe way. That was a practice of quota system which virtually is Chinese versus Chinese, Indian versus Indian with a same STPM results. So every races is figthing within their races of the limited places taht already allocated. Normally,Chinese is always facing the fierce competition among themselves under quota system.

The current condition is worse. Why? Two population students with a different standard of exam compete with each other. To make the condition worse, 2nd and 3rd tier students from matriculation can easily beat the first tier student from STPM in CGPA. It is already not a problem of which races obtain how many percent of varsity enrollment but a total lost of control of varsity education quality. This is more serious than the quota system practice. To let the unqualified students to drop out after the courses commence is just a waste of tax payer’s money.

If you are a STPM students or your children is studying STPM, you must mentally prepare a good STPM result really can not guarantee a place for the course that you want to enroll especially for the course like medicine, pharmacy and engineering.

There is a flaw of the varsity enrollment system and Ministry of Higher Education need to address it and create a true meritocracy. Only one major enrollment to the varsity should be allowed besides other qualifications.

I can guarantee, public university will start to climb back in the World university ranking once we practice a true meritocracy student intake system.

Edison with Dawn Yang and some local scandal videos in forum

Do you know who is Dawn Yang?
She is one of the famous blogger in Singapore and Malaysia. You can see it in her blog that she almost become one of the victim of Edison sex scandal. Luckily she had controled of herself.
This is what I quite from her blog.

P.S To the certain people giving me flak for "wanting attention" from the Edison scandal:
Please look at this logically. if I really wanted the attention, wouldn't I have talked about this long ago? Here on my own blog as well? Why on earth wait till now???

For a fact, I did not approach the tabloids or papers to be a tell-tale. It just so happens that this week's Star Blog topic is about Edison. Did I choose the topic? NO. As their writer, I'm just doing my job sharing my thoughts and experiences on the controversy.

I brought up the personal anecdote of my encounter with Edison not to attract attention, but to drive home a point that no matter how charming or famous a guy is, a girl should not allow herself to be caught in compromising situations, as she has more to lose. I don't want to say anything more about my personal encounter with Edison as that was not the point of my STOMP article. I brought this up because when the scandal broke, a chill went down my spine as I could have been one of the unintended victims too. I just wanted to share this with the STOMP readers to drive home my message to girls out there to be careful and sensible, not to create a scandal or unwanted news around myself. People who read the whole article on STOMP will see that the anecdote was only a small part of it, not the crux; I find it upsetting that the mainstream media is taking the anecdote out of context and blowing it up, completely missing the point and message of my original article.

Unfortunately I have no control over what STOMP decides to make headlines or not; I even tried my best to persuade SPH not to run this in the papers, but I could not stop them. Riding on the wave of the scandal is NOT ME, its the media and papers who make these headlines to sell more and make money. I really hope this frenzy dies down soon.

Yupe. But there are many girls that has no control of theirselves and become the victim(They may purposely did the video and post on line, just may be).
I can easily list down some which is really famous in some forum.
1. Sunway college girl.
Many knows who she is, I don't know. I just know she is beautiful in her photos. Her video clip with a guy (according to them is a Malay) is one of the hottest in internet forum.
2. RMIT girl/ Kuching Girl
This one is really controversial. According to PJ net forum, her video clip was uploaded and sent to public as this Chinese girl seperate with this Australian guy.
3. Tanah Merah Student
This is the lastest one if not mistaken. It is from a local press mention this and aftr that many searching online. I just doubt whether this girl is under age as I haven't seen this video.

Learn from Dawn Yang, control yourself and you may avoid seeing yourself online.

P/S: sorry, no video clip provided but if you like, search in forum.

Save my country campaign

Only one day to go and it will be 12th General Election for Malaysia. I am here to ask a favour of you that support opposition (DAP,PKR or PAS).
Your effort alone of one vote doesn't help much. But if everyone that vote for opposition can ask and convince 2 persons that support BN or swinging votes to support opoosition may get a new life for Malaysia. Start now, as I know time is not enough.
Change swinging vote and BN votes of our friends or relatives to opposition favour. We have a last chance to save our country.
If you love Malaysia, change ourselves(for BN supporter) and change others people(swinging vote) as well. There are 30% of electorate still undecided!
Just Change it!

港媒爆艳照再涉两女星 网友猜测钟楚红刘嘉玲(图)

香港最新《忽然1周》封面


刊出的两位女星剪影


被网友怀疑为剪影原相的照片(刘嘉玲资料图)

  百度娱乐讯 陈冠希公开道歉并宣布退出娱乐圈后,将电脑交由香港警方协助调查。警方发现艳照主角远多于先前已曝光的七人。近日,有消息传出,艳照门又涉及两位在圈中地 位很高、人脑很广的前辈女星。香港某杂志已爆出了疑似二人剪影,据网友猜测,刘嘉玲、钟楚红被疑为是剪影后的真身。

  杂志爆料照片详情

  该杂志爆料,有看过这两辑照片的人称:“‘车仔面’(化名)有两组相片。第一组有10张,是在酒店照的,她穿着see through(暴露的)内衣,和张柏芝那组有几分相似。至于另一批约有20张,应该是短片里面剪辑出来的,因为动作很连贯。”

  至于另一女主角“无艇搭”(化名)的照片,该知情人士直指“很夸张”、“很刺激”:“这批相片其实也应该是短片,有十几张,地点也是在酒店房 间。这个女星已经年逾40岁,她表现得非常投入。老实讲,虽然她非常有名气,但Edison(陈冠希)怎么说都是后辈,真是饥不择食。”

  网友猜测剪影真身、分析化名含义

  此次被涉及的两位女星,一位被化名为“车仔面”的女星曾被誉为世上最美丽的女人,早年活跃于电影圈,并与多位巨星传过绯闻。另一位化名“无艇搭”的女星据说是一位年逾四十,出道超过20年的电影界天后级人物,不过近年已经逐渐转向商界发展。

  据网友分析:

  “车仔面”---钟记车仔面是香港最地道的一种面食,是50年代香港经济最低潮时兴起,一直到现在都还深得人心。钟楚红,早年美艳动人,曾与成龙传过绯闻。

  “苏州过后无艇搭”广东俚语,没有明确出处,要说最早是来自做生意人中,体现了生意人争分夺秒,快买快卖的竞争心态。刘嘉玲,苏州人,出道已过20年,05年做过香港某电视频道的行政总裁,目前在上海也有经营酒吧。

  更有好事者在挖掘剪影的原相,刘嘉玲出席某活动的一张照片即受到重点怀疑。 坏坏/文

  • 传YOYO陈自瑶裸照换衣视频是方力申所拍非蔡淇俊 陪审团说漏嘴

  •   TVB艺员陈自瑶的换衣视频重新浮出水面,该视频2007年6月已在网上流传,当时外界怀疑拍摄者是她的绯闻对象男艺人蔡淇俊。今天,有网友在网易娱乐论坛上爆料称,其实当时拍摄视频的人是方力申,并透露此消息由当时法庭上的陪审团成员漏嘴传出。

网易娱乐2月26日讯 由于陈冠希艳照门事件近日轰动世界,一段TVB艺员陈自瑶的换衣视频重新浮出水面,该视频其实早于2007年6月已在网上流传,当时外界怀疑拍摄者是她的绯闻对象男艺人蔡淇俊。今天,有网友在网易娱乐论坛上爆料称,其实当时拍摄视频的人是方力申,并透露此消息由当时法庭上的陪审团成员漏嘴传出。

“A小姐裸照事件(法庭由于保护当事人,称当事人双方为A小姐和B先生)”源于2006年9月一桩案件。香港男艺人B先生遗失了一部手机,其中有其女友艺人A小姐的裸身换衣短片。手机最后落入歹徒手中,该歹徒向A小姐勒索5万港元。幸好警方及时破案,把歹徒捉拿归案。但案件主角一时引起许多人的好奇。

今日,有网友在网易娱乐论坛爆料,称“A小姐裸照事件”中的男艺人B先生其实是方力申,该网友在帖子中写道:“前几天,一个在香港做记者的朋友告诉我,其实拍摄视频的人是方力申,这个消息是当时法庭上的陪审团成员漏嘴传出来的。”网友描述:“据这位陪审团成员透露,上法庭作供的并非蔡淇俊,而是歌手方力申。”网易娱乐翻查一些香港艺人论坛时也发现此说法早已在网上流传。据悉,方力申此前并无与陈自瑶传出绯闻,两人仅在2007年初方力申的歌曲《大细心》MV中合作过,当时因剧情需要,方力申更惨挨陈自瑶当众掌掴。(文/忘忧)


附论坛《陪审团说漏嘴:方力申拍摄陈自瑶裸照》原文:

我有猛料爆!!!大家还记不记得yoyo陈自瑶的那段换衣视频啊?那时候怀疑拍摄者是她的绯闻男友蔡淇俊,不过前几天,我的一个在香港做记者的朋友告诉我,其实拍摄视频的人是方力申!他说这个消息是当时法庭上的陪审团成员漏嘴传出来的,当时“A小姐裸照事件”上法庭作供的并非蔡淇俊,而是歌手方力申。不过我印象中,方与yoyo没传过绯闻的,两个人只是合作过一只歌的MV,不知道为什么会扯在一起?有无知道的高人指点下?
