I am fine today.
I am referring to the case where our apex university, Universiti Sains Malaysia, made an unprecedented blunder in releasing 8,173 “successful” applicants where in fact only 3,599 in the list were eligible for a place in the university.
So there were 4,574 students experienced a joy that diminished into nothing in less than a day, and that which reversed into miseries that might haunt them for months, and perhaps many years to come.
My nephew, Ngu Min Huang, who scored 3A and 1A- in this STPM exam and applied for a dentistry course in USM, was also one of the “victims” in this blunder. I wrote about him on Day +982 : Congratulation!
He was having holiday with his family in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah when he found out from the website that his application into dentistry course was successful. That was 9:00pm, Saturday night. However, he was very disappointed to find out that his name disappeared from the website the next day evening. What a joke!
It was reported that out of the 4,574 students, 90% of them are Chinese. This certainly makes the issue very “colourful”. Was there any conspiracy in the intake process where some races were treated as second class citizen? If not, why Chinese constituted 90% of those who are accidentally accepted earlier?
For the university to prove its innocence, it has to prove that the Chinese constitutes 90% of the total successful intake, and I am very certain that this is not the case. So the conspiracy theory holds, strongly.
This is a conspiracy exposed, and this leads us to question how many unexposed conspiracies are there, hidden in the “black box” administrative system, that decay the basic rights of the second class citizen in this country – a country that holds the 1Malaysia concept.
Higher Education Department director-general Datuk Prof Radin Umar Radin Sohadi said students who could not get a place at USM would be placed into the University Admission Unit’s (UPU) main pool for selection into other public universities.
After such a blunder, no one would ever sure that if their name would even reach the UPU!
"Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Suka Menipu (cheating university)," my nephew said.
A shining rising star was descended into chaos with this incident, and its brightness will no longer be seen until full transparency in the new intake is done and is seen to be done in the future.

Sorry David, I don't get you. What was the conspiracy? I want to know all conspiracies of our evil gomen...
Phang,
Something has been done to kick out as many second class citizen as possible - colour factor crawled into the play. This is always the case, but this time get exposed.
The logic is like this:
Based on the fact that 90% that get kicked out was Chinese, then if something was done properly, and if we consider the proportion 9:1, the overall actual intake have to be in this ratio i.e. at least 90% or more for Chinese, and the rest other races. But this is not the case, so something must be wrong.
You get the point? If still don't understand my argument, then I probably need to explain with diagram in the next post :-)

Haha... Indeed, I still find it difficult to understand. First of all, what was the composition of different races within the accepted 3,599 students? Secondly, I'm sure there was more than 8,173 (i.e 3,599 + 4,574)students had applied for a place in USM.
I would say among all the applicants, only 8173 of them were eligible and obviously ethnic Chinese formed the majority. Since they have quota in place, most of the Chinese applicants will have to be rejected and it makes sense that 90% would be Chinese.
By the way, it was not a new conspiracy. It was there since NEP was introduced. Whether it was exposed or not, we all knew about it.
I grieved for your nephew but there is nothing to be surprised of. We have the same problem each year and MCA will try to score some political mileage with the issue. The only to stop it is to vote BN out!
Phang, to be fair, racial composition of the 3,599 should be 9 : 1 (Chinese against other race), because this ratio has to be the same as those who get kicked out, else something this definitely wrong. But I don't believe 90% of those 3,599 is Chinese, so something very wrong was happening. Whatever the case, voting BN out might be the only one solution to many trouble in the land, including this one. David
