2010 Final Year Project Log: My humble opinion

Few days ago, the Menteri Besar of Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim gave a suggestion to open UiTM's door to 10% non-bumi. Then a we have a few demonstration here and there. (star, sin chew)

Here's my opinion

Case 1:Mission, vision & objective of Uitm- to make it simple it is to help the bumi by providing tertiary education, to that they can be professionals, contribute to the development of the country, and prepare them for globalization.(for full details, pls refer to the reference below)*

Case 2:Everyone who earns, donates some amount of money to UiTM (tax)

Case 3:UiTM isn't performing academically well, judged by referring to the un-employment rate of UiTM undergraduates **

Conclusion: The input(money), doesn't contra with the output(quality of graduate).
UiTM fails to meet it's mission, vision & objectives.
Something must be wrong.
Suggestion : Create competiton among UiTM students by opening it's doors to 10% non-bumi
by Selangor MB

TATA, as simple as that! So how complicated can the situation be? What with all fuss?? Just don't Politicalize & racialize it, and it would be fine.

finally, the quote of the day:

" If someone critize and scold you for your mistake, that means they care; if they stop doing it, that means thay have given up on you."
