DAP urges govt to keep promise, ensure all 10A SPM students get matriculation spots

Anthony Loke Is Spinning The Facts

Malaysiakini : DAP has urged the government to keep its promise to ensure that all SPM graduates who obtained 10As or more are granted automatic placement in matriculation programmes.

Its secretary-general Anthony Loke said in a statement today that the party's central executive committee (CEC) had, after a meeting last night, also urged the government to ensure that other high-performing students are given due consideration for matriculation placement, based on existing capacity.

Matriculation is a pre-university programme offered as an alternative to STPM by the government. The programme had a 90 percent bumiputera intake quota, with the remaining 10 percent open to non-bumiputera.

However, in 2024, the government resolved to grant placement to all SPM graduates who scored 10As or higher. Last year, they refined this policy to include those who scored an A-. DAP had claimed credit for this policy shift.

GorengSotong : Aiyoh.Say it loud in parliament if not granted for matriculation then DAP pull out of MADANI. Dare you.!!!

World Citizen : Mr. DAP, are you part of the government or an NGO? If the former, then demand it as people have given you the clout and mandate. Don't beg for the crumbs. If you think you are just an NGO, then just save your breath and spare us the agony of looking at your pathetic face every time you open your mouth.

GreenFalcon2290 : Its both alarming and mirthful that whenever this man opens his mouth, thankfully a rare event, he sounds remarkably clueless and dithering, wallowing in stupidity and utterly bereft of any sense of purpose and of leadership.

Doubtful : DAP asking the Govt to fulfil its promises although it's part of the Govt??... 🤔 40 seats in Parliament and yet can only ask for crumbs from the table of its master (which may or may not even be given!!) .... Real pathetic.....

TEN10 : AL, you talked like you are not in the government. If government failed to keep the promise, what DAP going to do? Silence again. No wonder Sabahan booted your out from Sabah. I will definitely vote down DAP in any coming elections.

Bornean : What a joke! isnt DAP part of the government? Anthony Loke, you 6 months deadline is approaching very fast.. so far what "Reform" achieved? accomplished?
