Despite scoring straight A’s in both the STPM and SPM examinations, Ng Yi Ling has not been able to get a spot in a public university to study any of the three courses she applied for.
The Klang resident said she applied to nine public universities to study either medicine, dentistry or pharmacy, but was only offered a spot in a nursing course.
Ng (left) scored 12 As in the SPM and obtained a grade point average of 4.0 for STPM, which means she scored all As for the four subjects she sat for.
Raising her plight to the media, former Selangor executive councilor Teng Chang Khim said that he will help Ng secure a spot and funding to study at a private university.
“Seeing that there are many ministers in the prime minister’s department…I will contact one of them so they can assist this student,” he told reporters in Shah Alam today.
Ng is not the first STPM top scorer to be denied in place in her chosen course.
In 2004, Koong Lin Yee, who was named the best STPM student in Malaysia for the science stream, sparked an outcry when he was denied his application to study medicine at Universiti Malaya.
Ng is among 379 students, who obtained straight A’s after sitting for four subjects from her batch nationwide.
