I am an alumni of Universiti Malaya, Tuan Syed... I came from a poor family and I had no father since I was 9... couldn't get a bursary or loan too. Yet the authority never allocated me a place in residential college and I stayed 16 to a house with 4 bedrooms in Section 17 Petaling Jaya.

My share of rent was RM40 per month and my mother sent me RM50... and I am expected to eat for 30 days and pay for my fees and pay for transport...

I gave tuition from Subang to Gombak with a second-hand CB100... I survived and I got a first class honours BEc (Hons) in 1982...

This country has been a failed state as soon as it started the NEP program... the idea was good but the abuses destroyed this country forever..

Now I see 99% of the students suffering are Malays and I ask myself - who f*cked them up? Their own leaders f*cked them up... don't blame others please... we suffered too...

Most students work to supplement their father's scholarship. The students know the hardship the parents are undergoing, how everybody is chipping in to help. My niece cannot go to University. Her mother is working. She is working. Her sister is giving tuition. They are all saving for next year for her to enrol in a local university. Malay students expect to get everything cukup from the government! The nons have to work, work and work!!

What are you Malays bitching about. The parents and students of nons have for DECADES been sacrificing meals and the simplest pleasures of life so that the non students get to go to university. If you Malays can't handle the cost of studying in the IPTAs please stop your studies and go get a job. Give your place to the nons who for decades have had to suffer endless emotional and physical discrimination from the Ketuanans of Malaysia. Is it too much to ask for the children of MALAYSIA to have a shot at the better life? No end to the bitching Ketuanans it seems. Government help also bitch - to use broken Malaysian English.

Mr Syed, zaman saya student di UM dulu pun dah memang ada student melayu yg tido dlm kereta atau lecture hall. Basuh baju rumah makwe. Mandi kat faculty. Waktu makan lunch selalu dia org pergi waktu ujung ujung sbb masa tu plazasiswa lauk tinggal kuah ajer, so makan nasi dengan kuah tak mahal...minum kat water cooler.

this is happening despite us still producing and selling oil. yes, revenue at current oil prices are depressingly low BUT we still have oil to sell.

let's see in another decade or two.

Some said malaysian maids will soon be found in Indonesia or Phillipines. The day is near!

And with groups rejecting PPSMI/DLP planning a rally, do they realise when we export our maids, they will command a much lower salary due to their inability to speak english.

Don't blame Najib and gang. Blame all the stupid Malays who are so docile and pliant, thinking that their world will end without UMNO. A lot of these Malays are parents of these starving kids. So, at the end of the day, these kids should just go back home and give their parents and adult relatives an earful.

Don't blame Chinese, Indians, DAP and everyone who is not Malay or Muslim ok!

And while you are having pity about the starving Malay undergrads, do also have some pity for the non-Malay undergrads in private unis. Not all of them can afford the Starbucks and whatnots. They also have enough money for 1 meal a day or less. And their parents probably work 2 jobs and have rice and vegetable every meal to save enough money for their kids to go to private unis because they have been deprived of their equal rights to go to the local unis because they are not Melayu.

Only the Malays can make the change. The Malays should realize that it's not ok for UMNNO led government to rob the country just because it was done by its own kind. They should stop blaming the nons especially the Chinese for their predicament. Until the Malays come to their senses, you deserve the government you voted for.

Dear Tuan Syed, I am also a student in an IPTA located in the east coast. I can assure you that this is the situation that us students face everyday. Me and my friends sometimes only eat one heavy meal a day (usually dinner). If we're hungry during lunchtime, we'd down a glass of water or teh o ais to stop the rumbling in our stomach.

Thanks for taking time to highlight this issue in your blog, Tuan Syed.
