00:00The decision to open spots in matriculation programs to all Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia top
00:06scorers regardless of race was to reduce tension in the education system, says Prime Minister
00:12Anwar Ibrahim.
00:14Anwar said the Bumiputra quota for matriculation college admission had caused controversy at
00:19times, with some arguing against minority rights and others questioning the rights of
00:23Bumiputras enshrined in the federal constitution.
00:27He said the reality of meritocracy must be embraced, adding that while meritocracy is
00:32important, there is still a need for justice and fairness to avoid disadvantaging marginalized
00:36and poor communities.
00:38Yesterday, Anwar announced that all students who score 10 As and above in SPM, regardless
00:44of race or background, will be assured a spot in matriculation colleges starting with the
00:482025 intake.
00:50However, he said the existing Bumiputra quota for the matriculation program would not be
00:54affected.
00:55The prime minister said the decision was made by the cabinet last Friday to address the
01:00issue of fairness in education.
01:02Racial quotas for admission to public universities were abolished in 2002.
01:07However, matriculation colleges maintain a 90 percent quota for Bumiputras, while certain
01:11foundation courses are exclusively for Bumiputras.
