MCA Happy 92% Top Chinese Students Enter Public Universities	\| Print \|

KOTA BAHARU, 31 JULY, 2010: MCA's effort to ensure more Chinese students be admitted into public higher learning institutions has paid off, as 92 percent of top Chinese students in the SPM and STPM examinations this year succeeded in furthering their studies.

Party vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said this showed the struggle by MCA for Chinese students' education had been successful through the close cooperation of all component parties in the Barisan Nasional.

"The number is higher than last year when only 80 per cent of the students found places in the public universities. We have done this quietly compared to the opposition who only made noise but did nothing," she told reporters after the opening of the Kelantan MCA delegates' meeting, here, today.

The meeting was opened by MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek. Also present were party secretary-general Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha and Youth head Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Dr Ng said some of the top performing students were also successful in getting popular courses.

Dr Ng, who is also Tourism Minister, said with that, the problem which was raised by Chinese students each year had been resolved.
