Khoo Kay Peng
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz had said that government scholarships for undergraduate studies overseas would be phased out from next year.
He was quoted as admitting that the government does not have the “capacity” to finance the studies of the growing pool of bright students.
Although it is an unpopular move, the public will have to accept the reality of the government’s situation, he had added.
Both MCA and MIC are against the move. What else can they do?
Ironically, this government is willing to spend another RM800 million to build a new parliament building in Putrajaya.
