Pakatan Harapan’s massive defeat in the Tanjung Piai by-election was a strong signal by the public that they disagreed with the reduced allocations for Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) from RM5mil to RM1mil in Budget 2020, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
The MCA president said Lim Guan Eng’s insistence to stand by his decision to reduce allocations for TAR UC reflected the sheer arrogance of the Finance Minister.
“He still persists with such a decision, even though his party colleague Teo Nie Ching, who is the Deputy Education Minister, also said that it was among the reasons ,” he said.The Ayer Hitam MP said that MCA should not be blamed for the reduced allocations for TAR UC, pointing out that the party had founded the college which had produced more than 200,000 graduates to date.“Even Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Salahuddin Ayub was a graduate of TAR UC.
On Monday, Lim said the recognition of the United Examination Certificate and the reduced allocations for TAR UC were not the main reasons that caused Pakatan’s defeat in the Tanjung Piai by-election.
