I posted RM3.7 Billion for MARA, RM5.5 million for UTAR which has been a Sin Chew's article 'Scapegoat' written by journalist Tay Tian Yan in relation to the refusal of Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng to allocate a matching grant to UTAR and TAR College as was done for the last (almost) 50 years.
Wikipedia informs us (extracts):
Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, (abbreviated UTAR; 拉曼大学; 拉曼大學; Lāmàn Dàxué), is a non-profit private university in Malaysia. It is one of the most prestigious universities in Malaysia, ranked top 100 in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2018.
The Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) received an invitation from the Malaysian Ministry of Education to establish a university in July 2001. The then President of the association, Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik chaired a committee that drew up a framework for the establishment of the university after receiving the invitation.

The then President of the association, Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik chaired a committee that drew up a framework for the establishment of the university after receiving the invitation.
Datuk Dr. Ng Lay Swee, then the Principal of Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, a tertiary education institution that was also established by the MCA, was appointed to lead another committee, including Dr. Lai Fatt Sian, who was then the Head of the School of Business Studies in Tunku Abdul Rahman College, to assume the headship in the Faculty of Accountancy and Management ........
 |
From The Talloires Network website: Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) was established in 2002 as a private, not-for-profit Malaysian university. Today its student enrolment has reached more than 19,000 in 10 faculties on four campuses. UTAR has also invested major resources into becoming a prominent research university. UTAR’s mission includes “inculcating among the UTAR’s community high moral values, appreciation of the rich diversity in a multiethnic society and an abiding concern for the betterment of all humankind.” |
Though it was the MCA who founded UTAR and TAR College, the facilities were/are opened to Malaysian citizens who have little chances of entering government-run universities eg UiTM, and higher colleges, eg. MARA.
The title of the Sin Chew's article implies that future students at UTAR-TARC, mainly Chinese Malaysians. will become scapegoats facing higher fees because of Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng's refusal to allocate 'matching funds' to the MCA-initiated college and university but which, to re-emphasised, are non-political, non-profit making and open to all Malaysians, people like DAP's Teresa Kok and Chong Eng plus many more including the Chinese political supporters of the DAP.
To re-emphasise the aims of UTAR and TAR college, Tay Tian Yan has written (extracts follows):
If not because of MARA's 100% Malay intake and strict racial quotas of public university admission, there wasn't even a need for TAR College.
TARC was some sort of political compromise that provided an opportunity for otherwise desperate Chinese students, to be implemented through MCA, a component of the then government.
 |
Teresa Kok Suh Sim (DAP) Minister of Primary Industriesan self-admitted alumnus of TAR College (TARC) |
 |
in 2008 Zaid Ibrahim as UMNO Law Minister became the ONLY Malay minister to ever resign on principle to protest against Teresa Kok's arrest under the ISA |
 |
Chong Eng (DAP) Exco Penang government - ADUN Padang Lalang previously MP Bukit Mertajam (1999 - 2003) another alumnus of TAR College |
TARC and now UTAR should therefore be national asset with MCA as its caretaker.
It is a fact that political background has never been a criterion in UTAR's student intake, and MCA's political ideology has never made its way into the curriculum.
To be precise, MCA itself does not own UTAR, whose statutory owner is UTAR Education Foundation which has ten trustees, five appointed by MCA and five being government representatives.
The foundation has a clear mission, to run UTAR professionally as a provider of high quality education, not a profit-driven organization.
Unfortunately, with significantly squeezed allocation and an order not to raise tuition fees, UTAR, along with our young students, will eventually fall victim to vicious politicking.
That has been what Tay meant by 'scapegoats'.

Yes, the Finance Minsiter said there will be no such funding unless MCA divests all ties with the college and university.
Many Chinese like me cannot afford to go oversea or study in private local universities and Utar or Tar UC is the best alternative.
Looks like power and revenge has got into his head.
Amen.

ReplyDeleteBEST political statement 2018???
Hopefully the writer is NOT a politikus!
"Many Chinese like me cannot afford to go oversea or study in private local universities and Utar or Tar UC is the best alternative."
Wrong!
Yr grandparents or yr parents have probably proven u dead wrong!
They probably had NO university/professional education to shout about. But, they still make something of themselves, & indirectly u, out of honest works & efforts!
Thus, the best alternative is the society, aka 'societal university' - where many of yr otherwise even unluckier brothers/sisters have gained & triumphed.
Yr utar/tarUC papers gave u a head start. But how successful r u vis-a-vis those millionaires who have none?
All u can say IS u don't need to work like 'hell' as yr old generations in order to make a living & going through life much easily.
But along the way, u become a 草莓 from the greenhouse! U r actually NOT as good, as endurance & most as tough mentally, as yr forebears.
Our forebears have been fighting gods, nature & sopo adversaries to reach where we stand now.
Lge might have let power and revenge got into his head.
But so what?
He is a politikus, through & through. He WOULDN'T dig his own grave in this political onemanupship contest!
Perhaps u want to be treated like the tongkat-addicted weaklings?
Just look at their younger generation lah - anyone touching their low-hanging poppy, they would cry father mother & throw a tantrum as if w/o it they will disappear from the world.
Forget about the chants of the politikus! Don't fall prey to be a
'collateral damage' in a political wayang kulit like this blogger that want u to react.
人要活得有志气和骨气！
dun tok kok la, if tats the case, close all the uni n college.
DeleteSo send all of them to Taiwan for mindless brain washing er?
DeleteBravo!
taiwan is democratic, its a good choice, most people cant stand authoritarian, materialistic, rude cum uncivilised.
DeleteYa-loh, work for pitiful wages in stressful environment to feed the fat cats, until one can't take the pressure & jump!
DeleteEver hear of Foxconn - yr good choice of an Taiwanese exploiter.
That's an authoritarian & materialistic outfit, in the original mould of democracy lah!
How could a spurious bleeding heart, like u, knows that the foundation of democracy IS built upon the sacrifices of the slaves & womenfolk!
Keep talking & then see what's the real materialistic (moneyed), rude (see no evil as long as it keeps yr wealth) on display in our farts.
Oooop… civilised as defined in the above… too.
Moron!
94% of Chinese Community voted DAP and now suffers the consequences of arrogant DAP bulldozing its way in government. LGE, the worse Minister, has been:
ReplyDelete1. Lying about Malaysian debts; using lies to punish and extract vengeance against MCA/BN with approval from traitorous 94%
2. China-bashing: China reducing palm oil purchase from Malaysia, buying from Indonesia instead ; Chinese oil palm owners eat sai hahaha
3. China-bashing: Chinese tourists avoiding Malaysia, 35% drop during Golden week; Chinese hoteliers suffering revenue loss hahaha
4. Business policies: All entertainment outlets to close at 1 am; Chinese owners can suffer revenue decline hahaha
5. Temple fracas: sentiments about security in Malaysia worsening, and racial relationships fracturing as what happened in Iraq/Ukraine/Syria when American-backed politicians took control of parts of those countries.
6. The Malay ground is restless, DAP is being demonized in Malay community; Chinese Malaysians held responsible for electing DAP hahaha
7. Bursa has been tanking: Chinese share holders suffering loss hahaha
8. RM exchange rate declining: Chinese retailers paying more to buy overseas goods; revenue affected hahaha
9. Cabinet full of incompetent nincompoops making rash statements; political sentiments turning negative against Malaysia by international investors
10. Sabah/Sarawak people also getting restless; may secede (but that is what the Americans want to accomplish i.e. break up of Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak independent so they can put their American naval and air base there in these 'new countries'; DAP is helping to create these new countries by blocking grants .....)
11. UEC still not recognised hahaha (DAP going to sell the same snake oil 5 years later at next election? Are Chinese going to fall for it again?)
12. ICERD: DAP never heard of it.....hahaha
Care to add more?
94%? what to do, we have a racist umno n now a racist pas, moreover did u read wee ka siong retort on the utar/tarc issue, damn childish n never know how to create an emotional impact of the chinese, idiot like him shd quit.
DeleteSo, Wood is now deeply in gratitude and need to pay homage to whom?
ReplyDeleteIs it to UTAR Education Foundation and all those donors who made it possible or MCA who owns UTAR?
Likewise, who do the beneficiaries of UITM, MARA etc pay their gratitude and homage to? The Govt. or political parties who form the Govt.?
Is it not subtle indoctrination of beneficiaries who are blindsided in gratitude towards political parties?
Of course, gratitude as beneficiaries is a noble human trait and should be given towards a country which has a Govt. who knows what its responsibilities to it's citizens are instead of making them slaves indebted to political parties in their hidden quest to be the Govt.
Playing politics on one of the basic needs (education in this case) to be provided to all citizens of a country by any ruling Govt. smacks of an irresponsible and uncultured mentality of those politicians intent on doing so.
i think wood never talk anything abt gratitude, moreover one could easily guess 95% of tarsian give their vote to that cb dad n son party, i think wood n me n tty may share the same opinion, its the cbmf lge that play politics. since tis cbmf believe he is now powerful enough to touch on chinese education issue, lets see how it goes.
DeleteTo be perfectly fair allow all political parties have their own universities too, following the MCA model, via a foundation and “neutral” board of trustees.
ReplyDeleteDAP is just itchin to go, using that piece of land in Penang that 1MDB “sold” to the China company that has been paid for but ownership not transferred by the state government.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Kalau opposition parti boleh, parti kerajaan pun mesti boleh.
Then everyone will be happy.....right?
Likewise, a Malay like me cannot afford to send my children overseas or study in private local universities, so TARC is the best alternative. A very good institution and affordable fees.
ReplyDeleteYes, my daughter studied at TARC. She completed her studies with good grades and she is now working for a MNC.
She's still in WA group with her Tartian colleagues. When she got married, the whole Tartian WA gang came. Thank you TARC; I owe you.
BTW, I must add that on 9-5-18 my daughter told me this.. "Sorry Abah, me and my TARC WA gang all voted for HARAPAN". I replied her, "itu hak masing-masing".
DeleteDon't bull lah!
DeleteHaven't u mentioned some time back u were grateful for nep scholarships to oversea for yr children's tertiary educations?
Now, even taruc bumi quota u also want to sapu!!
Tsk… tsk… memang berapa banyak pun tak cukup le.
Where got meh? I agree I was the product of NEP as I got scholarships to study overseas three times. But non of my kids went overseas. All are local graduates;two graduated with first class/VC list and the rest with 2:1 . All of them are working with MNCs except one a PTD at Putrajaya. I would say Alhamdulillah, terima kasih Malaysia.

ReplyDeleteThere is No Way the Pakatan Government is going to fund an institution governed by a Board controlled by an actively Hostile group. No Way.
There is only 2 ways about it.
Either the Board's control is replaced by genuine independent Directors or the funding gets cut.
If the Australian Resident has had experience with Australian organisations, that would be how things get done there as well.
That is how most of the Real World works, like it or not.
actually tis is the best time for mca to revive if they play the right cards. dap have no solution for our racial education system, while tarc n utar is the best platform for mca to demonstrate their existence is imperative. however i am not too sure if mca have the wisdom n willpower, perhaps a new leadership is required.

This ISN'T the first time funding to TarUC has been slashed in budget allocations.
TarUC was allocated RM60 million in 2015, RM51 million in 2016 and RM30 million in 2017, but was allocated RM5.5mil in development funds in the 2018 Budget.
Can u identify who's the govt during those periods?
Perhaps MCA has no ministers in the cabinet when the TarUC financial allocation was discussed then.
The glaring difference is NOW the FM is a Chinese M'sian from DAP, which u r known to despite.

A bird on the wall told me Tay Tian Yan, Sin Chew's deputy Editor-in-Chief will be "retiring" soon.
ReplyDeleteDAP has started applying serious though quiet pressure on Sin Chew's management.
They are telling that while constructive criticism is welcome, a full-time Opposition mouthpiece, especially given Tay Tian Yan's past pro-MCA position is considered an unfriendly partisan.
It appears that while Pakatan is keeping to its promise not to directly give instructions to MSM media, that doesn't stop quiet pressure being applied.

Amid cuts for TAR UC, Lim announces RM6m for 3 private colleges
Published: 3 Dec 2018, 10:11 pm |
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has announced an allocation of RM6 million for three nonprofit private university colleges – namely the Southern University College in Skudai, the New Era University College in Kajang, and Han Chiang University College of Communication in Georgetown.
In a statement today, Lim said each of these university colleges would receive RM2 million for use in its development budget for next year.
“Despite a lack of support from the previous administration, people from all walks of life have been mobilised to make every effort to provide quality education at a low cost (at nonprofit educational institutions), and produced many graduates to be pillars of the nation over the past decades.
“The Pakatan Harapan government is grateful to the Chinese community for its hard work in cultivating talents for the nation, and has therefore allocated RM12 million for Chinese independent schools, and RM15 million for national-type Chinese schools in the 2019 Budget for their development expenditure.
“Now, we take the next step by providing allocations to nonprofit institutions of higher education, so that Southern, New Era, and Han Chiang university colleges can also benefit and reduce their burden," his statement read.
Meanwhile, Lim also cautioned MCA against “crossing the red line” over its Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) and using students as political pawns against the Harapan administration.
He said that if MCA was to do this by raising tuition fees, the Finance Ministry and other “units” would jointly take action against the party.
“TAR UC has enjoyed surpluses and can maintain its present fees and improve staff welfare. During the BN administration, its allocation was slashed by RM39 million, but it was still able to continue without raising its fees.
“If they now want to raise fees by 15 percent because the Harapan government wants to reduce its allocation by RM24.5 million, that is exploitive to the students and is unacceptable,” he said.
Lim reiterated that MCA should cut ties with TAR UC, and let the university’s alumni association take over its administration.
This, he said, would allow the college to perform even better, and would also make it eligible to obtain at least RM30 million in government allocations.
In previous parliamentary debates on Putrajaya's 2019 budget proposal, Lim said that the MCA-founded TAR UC would only receive a grant of RM5.5 million.
This triggered protests by MCA leaders and accusations of a political vendetta, which then prompted party president Wee Ka Siong to moot a 15 percent hike in tuition fees.
MCA had also dismissed the suggestion of allowing TAR UC's alumni association to take over the administration of the college.
UNQUOTE
tis cbmf justification is inconsistent, indulge in politicking at the expanse of the poor. until today, i dun read one chinese article that support his action, tarc is kind of distortion of merdeka u, its a product of racial education system, without solving the roots of problem, tis cbmf reduce allocation n warn not to increase fee, what a stupid idiot cbmf that cant differentiate right n wrong. the chinese community must tell enough is enough for all tis politicking n kick out dap in next ge15.
