The education minister has again defended the 90% quota reserved for Bumiputera students in the matriculation programme.

“If we want to change this, saying we are in the new Malaysia and that we do not need the quota system, then we must also ensure that job opportunities for Bumiputeras are not denied,” Maszlee told a forum at Universiti Sains Malaysia yesterday. Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has described the matriculation programme as a “back door” for Malay students to enter public universities, following calls from some DAP leaders for the removal of the quota system.
“If we can get rid of this , have an equitable job field and equal business opportunities, then we can talk about being fair in all matters,” he said. He also said many non-Malays were well-off and could afford to send their children to private schools.
