Malaysia’s future will be much brighter if the thousands of UiTM students are as enthusiastic in their studies as of their recent demonstrations to protest against Selangor MB Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for his suggestion to open a 10% quota for non-bumi students.
I couldn’t care much about the 10% quota for non-bumi students… but thanks for showing how deep the Ketuanan Melayu mindset is still rooted even among some younger generations.
Fear not about having others eating your pie UiTM students… most are not interested to enter the institution anyway. The real thing that you should fear is finding jobs when graduated; you know how good (or bad) you are… and you can’t rely on the government forever.
Oooppsss… should have written this article in BM instead; I wonder how many UiTM students can understand this… whatever.
to who ever you are….i’m kinda interested with ur opinion on this issue… obviously u’re some kind of bitch that is searching for bones… do u want some bones? i’ll give u bones u piece of shit…. why do u care so much upon the UiTM’s issue? who are you….actually, i just want to say that ur fuckin narrow minded will go down…. harap ko jgn mintak puji post benda bukan2…. urm…ko phm ka aku ckp ni? atau ko cuma phm bahasa yg ko agung2kan…apa2lah…(whatever)
I already stated my opinion, what else do you want me to share? Besides, thanks for showing the rudeness… I am sure UiTM alumni will be so proud to have a compatriot like you.
hmm..somehow the non malays are displaying their utmost stupidity on this uitm issue..it shows how ignorant they are in the history of malaya..how they were granted citizenship for the sake of independents…the non malays have to bear in mind that malaysia is still belong to the malays. They have to understand the word malays and bumiputra..the non bumi’s are not originated from tanah melayu..they were imported from china and india to work as a slave in tanah melayu..i suggest that those ungrateful chinese and indian to migrate to singapore if they keep on complaining the malays right..why the hell u have to be in malaysia..we welcome you as friends once but the country will be more than open to let these fuckhead out of malaysia
well..
thank god,i understand clearly english better than u..
oppssss…did i miss my word???
sorry…
i didnt mean to be racialist anyway..
next time read a lot of history before claimed something k..
btw, i got A1 during spm..
didnt mean to be proud but thats the truth…
Good for you aimi, be proud of yourself indeed. Now, tell me… how many of your fella UiTM students can write as well as you do?
Besides, you people can choose to focus on my obvious sarcasm, or to focus on my valid point and try to upgrade yourself instead. It’s undeniable that UiTM is one of the worst when it comes to undergraduates’ unemployment rate…

Keeping the Ketuanan Melayu mindset isn’t going to help. It’s the globalisation era, Malaysians need to work together to compete against the world. If the Malays can’t even compete with other races in Malaysia, how are you supposed to compete against the rest of the world?
Thanks for the motivation..
hope to hear more ideas from you.
keep up the good blogs..
come on the issue not about globalisation at all..that was just 1 lame point…competitiveness is not an issue too… if u r good, nobody could ever deny that..uitm and the world outhere is two different thing..the students are competing among themselves without any need from the non malays..dont compliment yourself too much..the malays doesnt need the non malay to become a good competitor..what makes you think that the non malays need to be in uitm so that the student could be better..speaking about competiveness, how about schools for chinese and indians i.e srjk (c) / (t)? why the subjects need to be taken from china at the first place..is it globalisation when you learn subjects from only one country instead of opening up?
the students are fighting to protect uitm from the non malays..the malays will not give the non malays equal rights to everything and that is a fact that the non malays have to accept.. if u r good, nobody could ever deny that..plus, the demand for uitm student depends on the course..some courses requires further qualification to become more marketable..
the non malays are being ridiculous..it good to watch them rifted in a country where their ancestors are not originally from..pity
what is MALAYSIA again? or is it MALAYA?
i believe malaysia is for malaysian provided that certain rights and privilege of the malays are protected and respected by the non bumi’s..the history on incorporation of malaysia should be critically analysed..the malays has played their part in giving the non bumis to become the citizen provided that our rights are protected..the non bumis need to carve this in their mind so that they will never forget..we respect their cultures and religions,why not they respect our rights
panglima… Malaysia has achieved independence for 51 years. Two or three new generations have been born over these five decades… and these generations of Chinese and Indians have spent all their life being Malaysians and contributing to Malaysia… our heart for Malaysia is nothing less than any Malays or bumiputeras in the country. So, why should we be treated as second grade citizens?
The special rights existed to help Malays to overcome the economic and social deficit, and it’s a valid reason for its existence. I know some non-Malays are bullishly defying the reasons, but I am actually supportive towards the policies, but under one condition… that the Malays are actually utilising their privileges to move forward, that one day these rights can be abolished and all Malaysians will be treated equally.
The biggest problem is, we are seeing no end for these rights, and the Malays are not really moving forward enough with these rights. The non-bumi in the 30s and 40s can accept the fact that we had to compete unfairly under these policies… but lots of the people are starting to have kids, and we are not prepare to let our next generation to being treated the same way again.
Thanks for respecting our cultures and religions, and you have to be fair that non-bumis are showing enough respect for yours too.
Special rights have to come to an end some day, probably not now, but we can’t let this go on forever. Besides, Malays will always enjoy the rights for being the TUAN of Malaysia, you will still have the rights for being Malaysian, just like any other Malaysians that is born in this very same soil… nothing more, nothing less.
this “certain privillage” shit is making u guys sloppy, spoilt and develop backwards. what sort of right you taking about?
to panglima garang…you are wonderful..
he’s right and the rest you are ungratefull to be a Malaysian..
did you know where are you originated from?
please[i mean it] find out whose your ancestors.
where they come from?
are they really from tanah melayu?
~daa…(keep wondering)
whatever you have now just please appreciate it.
we live as malaysian and act like you are supposed to.
stop being a jerk or the dummiest among all.
for God sake, if you find that Malaysia isnt good enough for you..
then BLAH arr…
*means in a proper way migrate to other country and please change your nationality(if only they want to accept you *sight)
please consider it!!!!
The world has never been fair to everyone. The one who can accept the fact will definitely understand the rules of survival. In respect of the comments above, I did agree on some points. However, it always appears that people over-react on certain issue, which themselves believed to be right. Sometime, it would be better to just remain silent after commenting on something. (As comment stated above) It appears that people always express what they want after giving comments. Of course, people need to talk on something (right and equality) which they believed to be right, but talking on want will definitely create many problems… For instance, the last paragraphs of opinions from Yeinjee and Panglima Garang are just a bit too extreme.
but it seems like ppl here are looking for quarrel rather than giving opinion.
In my opinion, I don’t deny the right that government gave to malays, but please don’t abuse the right and oppress on other people’s right. It would be extremely unfair to others if u related everything to ‘right of ….’ when anything goes against you.. Try to stand on other ppl’s views and think of that yourself.
its all about the malay. im sick of this
yein jee..i have to admit that i have to agree on some point but i dont think that the non bumi’s are being treated as a second grade.yes we hv reach 51 years of independence and the non bumi’s has contributed a lot to the country because that is the meaning of rights. every citizen has a right to exercise their rights a citizens.nobody is denying the non bumi’s rights as a citizen but the point is the malays n other bumis has some special privilege because this is our land of origin.if we never argue on your rights as a citizen,why the bumi’s special rights need to be argued by the non bumi’s? i admit that someday the rights need to be abolished but this is not the time yet and the malays refuse to give up their right just yet.besides,the new economic policies has not reached their goal yet.unless the purpose of these special rights are satisfied,the malays’ and bumi’s special rights will not be abolished
what makes u think that the non bumi’s are being treated unfairly?educationally the non bumi’s still have a place for public uni subjected to the percentage expressly provides.to balance this, the government allows the setting up of private university and the non bumis who runs the administration of this university or colleges are allowed to set up their own policy.the majority of student in University tun razak are chinese.so this shows that the government allows the non bumis to exercise their rights but the government is exercising their proper control to protect the malay’s interest.
the truth..you are not expressing an opinion but emotions only..please understand the word ‘rights’..the federal constitution offers a lot in explaining this matter..you may read it up if you have the ability to understand the book. moving forward or backward is not issue..for example,whether u r a citizen of malaysia regardless u r a bumi or non bumi’s, you still could enjoy your rights as a citizen no matter how stupid or retarded you are..that is what we call rights.whether or not the malays are moving forward or backward,the non bumi’s has no right to argue their position as the originals of the land.the ketuanan melayu thing is not a dictatorship.we are sharing the country but yet there are some provision and special rights to acknowledge the bumi’s as the origin of the land.
panglima… long story about the educational issues, I can actually write a book about that. Mirror_Of_Life shows some fair points… both of us have expressed our thoughts, and let’s not let it go into flame.
The racial issue is something that we will not be able to settle in near future. Bottomline is, I want Malaysia to be a better place for everyone, and I believe you do share the same sentiment despite some different approach.
Thanks for the comment.
owh..kay…so..is the discussion over yet? can i say something about the previous comments posted?
at first, it’s about the 10% quota for the non bumis right?
i think i have enough credibility if i am to talk about the students of UiTM because i’m still an undergraduate……
I do welcome the non bumis, really…because I had a very sick feeling of a statement i have heard back in the hostel by a bunch of idiots, UITM=”Universiti Ini Tolong Melayu”. so, i was hoping that someone can kick them in the arse and say, “stop dreaming about life being so damn easy. it’s time to wake up and stop using your ass when you think because you brain fart too much!’…to panglima…from what i see…most of them don’t compete with one another…they tend to stick to what they are already comfortable with.
however, we still need to go back to history why this institution was built. it is meant for the bumis only. suddenly, it is open to other races. so, it’s not a surprise if there’s an outcry about it.
based on my own observation because i am observant. YJ, I have to admit that most UiTM students are not as intelligible nor errr..good in writing as some people. There is only a small portion that have really good English e.g. law students, TESL students but even some of the TESL students…are not that proficient…and most of them managed…..to get…err..band 2-3 for their MUET and the MUET test for UiTM students from other faculties is lenient.this, i was told by the lecturers so it’s a fact. hah! there you go.
“It’s undeniable that UiTM is one of the worst when it comes to undergraduates’ unemployment rate…”
it’s true but the thing is my dear, the number of UiTM students is higher than the number of students from other institutions. the rate is higher probably because of the ratio. please correct me if I’m wrong because i didn’t do any research on the statistics.
To Aimi Sara..so what if you had an A1 for your SPM. I had an A2 and my English is far better than yours. you want me to check your work for you? YJ, don’t praise her when she had grammatical mistake. aimi, what do you mean by ‘i got A1 during SPM’?racialist?wtf?? by the way, the SPM standard is low…
why is it that race is always an issue?who belongs here and who are immigrants? i mean don’t you think that it is not fair for the Malays to tell the non bumis to go back where they came from? PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong, my Malay friends actually told me that Malays were–originally from Jawa? so, i assume that Malays are from Jawa while giving my opinions ya? one question, what about the orang asli??? the people who ARE/WERE here LONG before we did?who do you think they are?
Panglima:
“the non Malays have to bear in mind that Malaysia is still belong to the Malays” does it really belong to the Malays or is it because TAR was the one who formed Malaysia that’s y it belongs to the Malays?it’s a question and not trying to speculate about anything. here’s another question.you’ve mentioned federal constitution right?why is it that Malays state that Malaysia is an Islamic country? as far as i can remember in the history…back in 1963, when Sabah and Sarawak joined tanah melayu to form Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah never agreed to any terms in recognizing Malaysia to be an Islamic country. so, y is it an Islamic country? from your comments, i can see that u are a knowledgeable person that’s why i posed you these questions.
to Yayao loves malaysia,
yea..go ahead with think-with-ur-ass attitude. u’ll have a better, BRIGHTER future.
like i said, based on what my friends have told me, Malays originated from jawa so, i will assume that it is true. so, yayao aaa…unless if u are Jakun or Sakai or from other ethnic of the org asli…you have no bloody right to ask other ppl to migrate. with think-with-ur-ass attitude, no other countries would want you to be their PR…seriously..coz people out there, they think with their brains not with their ass.
i like what mirror of life said….but however, there’s one thing that i want o raise..why is it that sabahans and Sarawakians are not treated fairly?in terms of development etc. and people here always think that they still live in trees etc. i would want to pose this question to panglima garang. you see, those who were involved in building/constructing the twin tower and cyberjaya know that most of the capital/ money came from east Malaysia. but why is it that no one knows about it? and east malaysia is still providing malaysia the most.and why is it that the states in east Malaysia are one of the most undeveloped states in Malaysia? Kedah is also listed as one of the most undeveloped state? i mean y is it impossible to develop all the states in Malaysia? i end my comments here.
and here…only 3 races were brought up in the discussions. what about other races?
this is just a thought not to condemn.
hahaha..so funny..kinda cheap publicity
…i feel sorry about you…
….dear Yein Jee… please mind your own business….
being a backstabber is not good!!! :p
it’s not back stabbing…if it’s back stabbing then it won’t be posted in her blog where it is visible for all to see. check the meaning of back stabber in your dictionary…thank you.
wow interesting post.
but the last sentence definitely caught my eye.
“Oooppsss… should have written this article in BM instead; I wonder how many UiTM students can understand this… whatever.”
well, i wonder how many of the non-malays can understand/write/speak PERFECT english too.
not MANGLISH yea?
lets not be in denial here. non-malays & malays are definitely in an equal position in the english department. no one better than the other.
plus, the non-malays are not even interested to enter uitm right?
i’m referring to your 3rd paragraph up there.
“Fear not about having others eating your pie UiTM students… most are not interested to enter the institution anyway. The real thing that you should fear is finding jobs when graduated; you know how good (or bad) you are… and you can’t rely on the government forever.”
So what is the fuss all about? we’ve opened up every other place for all of you & since you don’t want to be in uitm & we don’t want you either, it’s a win-win situation for everyone.
And we will always have our special priviledges whether you like it or not.Life isn’t always fair. Deal with it. You can move if you don’t like or agree with how things are here.Don’t worry, we won’t miss you.
Thanks dear for the brilliant post
yet again….has no one read what i’ve posted?? i need some input and opinions!
to haizz..n the rest of u..
im not trying to say anything that makes me look and feel bad bout me u know..
i love malaysia and everything regarding all the races in this country..
but this is too much..
by labelling malay as somehow “not good enough”..
u dont have the right to think in that way..
come on everybody..by discussing this issue…do u think that u gain anything or atleast something from it?
all of my sisters are studying and graduated from overseas…
and 3 of them are the product of uitm..
i even feel myself myself much better in my field compares to my other friends in other universities taking and even them who are not as same course as me..
and of course other race too..
i’m not a racist like u guys..
i’m a mix blood of chinese too n i have a bro in law whose actually a chinese..
hmmm..so,stop making this issue as something..
~daaa..what should i call this?
childish?
come on..
can we just be unite and contribute something or atleast just being taking care of your ownself also helping much in order to prevent any racial issues.
i do love malaysia..
including malays,chinese,indians,orang asli and etc..
so please…love malaysia too…=)
finally, no more brain fart.that’s what i’d like to hear.
shit ma kau
hmm… i`m agree with some of the people said that UITM - Universiti Ini Tolong Melayu’… i`m from UIAM.. actually, uitm history i know is to built for the bumiputra`s only.. we have to consider the MALAYSIAN instead for MALAY`s u knw… i know some of the Malaysian are very extreme about the MALAY`s Ketuanan Melayu… Every MALAY`s have to help Malay only… MALAYS actually have to find out the truth of real life.. They have to fight the place among the MALAYSIAN( means MALAY, CHINESE and INDIAN)… Now what the ability that the are used to be.. some of the MALAYs are still like in BAHASA’ MCM KATAK DI BAWAH TEMPURUNG’.. still they are very comfortable in their lifes.. as rite nw.. many of the UITM graduates are not be able to compete to some of the Other university graduates actually. WE MALAYS are not RACIST ok??? Ketuanan Melayu have to protect instead of the ethnics… WE are MALAYSIAN… to enhances the MALAY`s itself.. i think i`m strongly agree with 10% of the non-bumiputras to be opened… Come on UITM guys!! Face the truth of Real Situation….
For the author.. ko ni jgn la kutuk student UITM ma….
Well, I just bumped into this site, kinda interesting tho reading
such issue which has been discussed for ages, and, here we are,
STILL DISCUSSING! =) i would like to correct haizz on this:
“There is only a small portion that have really good English e.g. law students, TESL students but even some of the TESL students…are not that proficient…and most of them managed…..to get…err..band 2-3 for their MUET and the MUET test for UiTM students from other faculties is lenient.this, i was told by the lecturers so it’s a fact. hah! there you go”
Yes i admit, MuET grades for UiTM students from other Faculties is lenient, But NOT
for TESL students. They have to at least get band 4 to proceed to the degree
program. And since it is now being controlled by the MOHE, the syllabus and requirements are even tougher and higher than before. Talking bout SOME (a minority) of TESL students who cant speak good English, again, its a YES for that one BUT u need to consider the background of these kids. Plus, English is no longer our second language, its role is changing to becoming a FOREIGN LANGUAGE to our locals, (again, this apply to all races, im not a racist nyway) Look at the language, it was once the medium of instruction in every level of education we had, but now, its just A LANGUAGE TO LEARN IN A SMALL PORTION during the school days. My point is, these kids ARE again learning the language, and if u are in the program, you can see the DEVELOPMENT of these kids who have passion in teaching the language. What makes it different from students from other courses, those who hv zero knowledge in law, get into the program, and learn law?
it sounds like im changing the topic! but ya, i think i really2 need to correct that one. ive been teaching in all types of instituitions, the local and private collages,
Another thing, to the author, i don’t c your point, arguing about UiTM students and its exictance?( its the TITLE of your post) where nowadays students are opting for private collages?! look at the statistics, even those with good grades opt for private instituitions. all the bullshit about privillages is no longer an issue, its the marketable program with BRIGHTHER FUTURE they are looking for right now. our kids are not stupid, they go for demands from the industry!
to someone up there talking bout UiTM students leading the statistics in underemployment rate, DO YOUR RESEARCH man.
So thats all i guess, i not interested in discussing bout the history of Malaya, the migration of chinese and indians bla bla, but ya, some of US need to refer to the SOCIAL CONTRACT, they we or maybe just YOU, WILL UNDERSTAND all the privillages bla bla… happy discussing~! =)
kau tau tak apa yang kau tulis….
