Malaysia. Malaysian?

When MH 370 happened, I am still proud to stay that I am a Malaysian, then MH 17 I still being around to be a Malaysian

Born in Malaysia and lived there ever since I wa born. I really love Malaysia. Everyone is so good. Staying in a multiracial society, I visit my Muslim nieighbour during hari raya and go to my Hindu friends' house for deepavali. My best friend during secondary was the Indian girl sitting beside me for 3 years. Everything in Malaysia is so good and it is indeed the best place to be in the world except the Politics.

I came Singapore for my degree end of this July. Whenever I tell a person that I am from Malaysia, they will ask me do I feel discriminated being a Chinese in Malaysia as there is too many unfairness. I always replied, NOPE because I don't feel I am discriminated but only the BUMI HAVE SPECIAL RIGHTS!


Yup, special rights. There are Bumiputera lots which is lower cost for housing, more government substidation, higher chance to enter government university, special scholarship (MARA), special Education like Boarding Schools ans special Programs and etc.

No doubt, all these special rights are stated in the constitution, there is nothing to can be change. Since young, I know Bumis have special rights so I don't really feel anything. I don't feel discriminated not isolated. However, I don't see myself as a MINORITY as well as I know that Malaysia is belongs  to all Malaysian! We own our country, Malaysia!  We are Malaysian!

I am so sad that whenever I was told I, as a Malaysia Chinese, am just a foregeiner (in Malay : Pendatang) and this land belongs to the Malays. I am holding a Malaysia passport, isn't Malaysia my country, my land? Isn't it as stated in the national song "negaraku, tanah tumpah darahku" ?

Right for their rights? In my opinion, Bumiputera already have their special rights, isn't it? What are these politics parties trying to do? Building a better Malaysia or creating trouble? It is benefiting the peeople or just for their own sakes? They are not trying to get us together instead separating us! Should these so called religion/race based politics parties protects our rights by creating a peceful country?

What is ONE MALAYSIA when we are separated by our race, religion and skin colour! Is 1 Malaysia only a slogan to attract foreign investment? Is these so called goverment party trying to separate us? Why they want to do so? Isn't all of us Malaysian?

BEST CHOICE

Wrong Pre-U program? To me, taking SAM is the best choice i ever made! Indeed, I suffered during the process but i learnt a lot and grow a lot ! 
If you prefer something like Malaysia Education system then you should go for A level! Australia Education system needs you to apply your knowledge, not just understanding what you are learning! If learning to you is just for score A in EXAM, then it is not suitable for you! 
Why the entry requirement using ATAR is high? Because it is based on World-ranking (ie. Bell-curve), 3A-2B+ is already ATAR 94.25 Besides, the content of SAM is less than A level and hence it is relatively easier.
However, it is true that SAM is not that internationally recognized! if you take SAM, you should be aiming to go Australia or maybe private Uni in Malaysia. UK and singapore do accept SAM results but some need to take certain test. 
In my university, it is very RARE to see people entering uni with SAM but it doesn't mean you cannot enter with it. 
Choose a Pre-u that is suitable for you, don't make the WRONG choice.
if you choose SAM, then make Your choice RIGHT!
