The PKR president says the government does not want the community to feel that seats meant for the Malays are being taken away.
KUALA LUMPUR: Anwar Ibrahim today defended Putrajaya’s decision to maintain the 90% quota for Bumiputera students in the education ministry’s matriculation programme, saying this was to allay the community’s concerns after the government increased the number of students for the course.
“For now, we have to allay those concerns. We don’t want them to feel like we are taking seats from the Malays. Education Minister Maszlee Malik earlier said the increased intake for matriculation students was based on a Cabinet decision to get more students into tertiary education and to spread the opportunity to all races.
