A message to those who protest. You are not fit to be a doctor.

[hlwonka]

Pilot & doctor play the role of saving passengers & patients life. You only employ capable & competence people not base on skin colour.
Unfortunately in Malaysia skin colour does matter.

[laupohseng]

Chinese community never care about this issue, never discuss among them and never in their mind to enter this institution. So please stop blaming the chinese.

As a non-Bumi Malaysian, I never hoped for local universities or the government to let me study locally because I know they always have an excuse to make life harder for us in all cost. This is why I chose to study overseas, where I am treated better despite the higher cost. I refuse to pay taxes to this shit nation with person of this kind of mindset. Bumi should settle their problems themselves. When you reject and do shit things to non-Bumi in the first place, don't expect us to do anything for you and still say thank you.

This is the future of the country, fighting over petty issues. There is a phrase - United we stand, divided we fall.

[sarasasubra]

Another 50 years from now we may still be discussing topics like this while the world around is making progress in strides and leaps!

[johnliew]

Those who protest, are in fact not qualified nor fit to be in the medical profession. Scary to have these kind of pin heads selected for the medical profession in Malaysia. Another world's laughing stock. What matter most are their skill and having lived up to the standard or having passed the required exam and NOT race! Race is nothing to do will skill.
Shocking to see this happen in Malaysia.

[leekl]

No hope for Non Bumi in Malaysia, especially with this kind of Future Generations Mindset

[nareshsingh]

The Malaysian government needs to publicly explain why foreign students are allowed to secure 100% of the seats while Malaysian-born IC holders cannot. I agree if this policy is only for Malaysian Muslims, but why the double standard? Why don't you follow your own rules? Non-Muslims contribute equally, if not more, to this country. We non-Muslims never consider Muslims our enemy, so why do you? Muslims initiated these issues, Muslims are making noise, Muslims are protesting—it's all done by Muslims, not by non-Muslims. Yet, the blame still falls on non-Muslims.


UITM also fails to produce a good doctors or surgeon.

[beelichoong]

These students have shown their TRUE colours !
This is publicized in social media !
Bringing SHAME to Malaysia !
They are a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT to humanity & society !
End of story

[zoickn]

As employer, we have established an impression about graduates from uitm. I dont think we will take any of them. Too narror minded and primitive. Kampung mind.

[tancheesong]

MMC why not just recognized and settle the problem of 4 student from Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd which is more recognized in the world) Why need MMC if these council members don't know what is right or wrong??

[Fir]

Bila kebodohan dan emosi team up.. No leadership value in them.

[johnnyjohnronnie]

Are non bumi not Malaysian also? I am bumiputera and I don't have any problem for non bumi to be accepted at UITM. They are all Malaysian.

[normanfernandez-robert]

So it's living proof that we have institued both educational & economic apartheid. So Annuar's calls to respect human dignity, equal rights and end discrimination only applies to his political posture for Palestine but not for his fellow Malaysians.

[lrc]

Non Malay Muslim bumiputra doesn't have any interest to apply for uitm mrsm or any education institutions that is 100 percent for Malay bumiputra only, I presume if not for foreigners whom have place in this institutions, we simply don't care what Malay bumiputra get nor their privileges, the earth is moving and survival is in every nm minds

[lokaskarak]

Actually non bumi didn’t bother to join uitm. Only the Islamist so sensitive about the issue.

[venusshar]

Look 😮 whose talking about removing of vernacular schools
Sjkt or Sjkc never say they will enroll only Chinese or Indian students only, hence its open to Malaysians regardless of race n religion
Irritating to the core to see them

[gwyxwxg]

Lebih baik pakar pakar ini berhijrah ke negara lain jika negara sendiri asyik making hamun mereka kerana bangsa.

[charlieyang]

And they then wondering why there's a Brain Drain of highly skilled Malaysians to Foreign countries.
