Universiti Utara Malaysia's vice-chancellor also says the increase in the number of places is in line with the programme's original objective.
KUALA LUMPUR: Universiti Utara Malaysia has come out in support of the Cabinet’s decision to maintain the entry quota of 90% for Bumiputera students and 10% for non-Bumiputera students for the public university matriculation programme.
Bashawir said the programme is to develop potential Bumiputera students in science, technology and professional fields through quality pre-university education to produce excellent human capital. “As such, the decision of the Cabinet on April 24 to increase the intake of students was the second concession after 16 years by the government to resolve the problem of eligible non-Bumiputeras who could not obtain places in line with the mission and vision of New Malaysia to be more inclusive,” he said in a statement today.
