PSD Scraped?!! BOOYAH!

Seriously this song has nothing to do with whatever I'm posting right now, but I'm grooving to it when I first heard that the M'sian government is scrapping PSD (Public Service Department) scholarships. And you guys should too! Check it out!!

It's by Kevin Wu a.k.a. KevJumba, David Choi and Wong Fu Productions called "Dance to this Song".

Note: PSD Scholarship is henceforth just PSD. Lazy to type "scholarship" over and over again.

Back to the topic at hand. PSD being scrapped in favor of "building more universities". BOOYAH people!!!
I totally disagree with PSD anyway. Your "whys" are answered below.

1. PSD is given by quota, not based on meritocracy. It means you are smart, but might not be the smartEST.
2. PSD holders overseas are WAY overpaid. Think in terms of UK Pounds, US dollars, Russian Rubles, Japanese Yen and Korean Won. Minimum in USD per semester in these countries are 10,000, which is equivalent to roughly RM33,000 per semester. I pay less than RM10,000 for my whole 3 year study for a degree in a Malaysian public university.
3. An overseas degree does not guarantee you a job. You may have a PSD, but you might fail the exam and interviews, so job security is not so secure.
4. PSD holders need not waste effort to learn a new language, i.e.: Korean, German or Russian.
5. PSD holders DO NOT get good grades like the local kids. I've personal met a few of them in Korea and in England. They are barely scraping a CGPA of 2.5/4.0, which is like C+. In fact, they admit most of them are getting diplomatic passes.
   It means that they are supposed to fail, but they don't cos they're foreigners on scholarships.
   I really wonder what the hell happened to Nur Amalina Che Bakri? I'm hearing two stories:
   
   1. She's still in Edinburgh doing Medicine AND Pharmacology, but when I tried to search evidence of it, ZILCH. Wikipedia does not count. Heck, Sinbad and Tom Cruise were proclaimed "dead" in Wiki, y'know. Source is not reliable at all.
   
   2. She's quietly residing in Johore Bahru after failing 2nd year in Edinburgh. Tons of info, but all hearsay.
   
6. MOST IMPORTANTLY:
   The money used to send PSD's overseas, could be used to build more universities, improve the current universities and sponsor more students to study locally.

Scrap PSD already.
MCA and  MIC, what the F*** are you doing saying that PSD shouldn't be scrapped? You guys should be fighting for more places for non-Bumiputeras to get into local public universities.
If brain drain from Chinese and Indians gets more serious in the future, you guys are totally to be blamed.

And kudos to suggesting Mandarin and Tamil to be compulsory at schools, though I still think that the English school system back the day is still better. The two other languages are totally additional. Scrap vernacular schools. Make it English and Malay schools only. English school for elites and Malay school for those whose can't catch up. Other languages (Mandarin, Tamil, Punjabi, French....) be made OPTIONAL.

For the record, I'm a classified banana who went through 9 years in vernacular CHINESE school. SMK Chung Ling Butterworth from Form 1-3, 85th out of 485 students in the form when i left (Bragging rights, babeh!). Reason for not completing til Form 5 was because I moved to KL.
So I do know what I'm talking about and not some random banana who doesn't know and appreciate vernacular schools. I appreciate that education system. I just don't think it's good for the country.

Anyways, Malaysia's screwed if we don't buck up. Think Greece, Iceland and Spain. FYI, the economy doesn't just run on $$$ only.
