Easy As ABC.

It would be easy as ABC! There must be no ground for complaints anymore! To the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) students this year who score 9A+ or more, further studies is assured with this “money from heaven”. Scholarships would be granted irrespective of your background or race! Totally unexpected but with the best of intention from the Prime Minister himself! That was the break everyone was waiting for, for a long time!

I’m sure eyebrows would be raised by some quarters but the government must not be too duly worried about that! Do what’s right and do not let some halfwits dictate you!

A good deed would not go unrewarded. The parents, the students (especially the poor) would not forget easily. A burden off their backs and a great relief for many! But these students must understand that all do not end here. They have to serve the country after they graduate. Many would oblige and there would be some who won’t! These students have to know that the grants belong to the rakyat.

Back to those days where many brilliant students were “left out” intentionally because there were simply not enough funds for every deserving student! Cries of despair were heard everywhere. And how could we blame the students for their mass exodus when they could not depend on the government for aid?

And hopefully everything would change for the better after this. Now go burn the midnight oil! The grant would be right here waiting!
