PETALING JAYA: The education ministry does not plan to recognise the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC), says its minister, Fadhlina Sidek.
In a brief written parliamentary reply today, Fadhlina said this stand was based on the National Education Policy, and the Education Act 1996.
In July last year, her predecessor, Radzi Jidin, had also said the ministry did not plan to recognise the school-leaving examination for Chinese-medium high schools.
Recognising the UEC was among the key pledges in Pakatan Harapan’s manifesto for the 15th general election.
The coalition promised to make public higher education institutions recognise the UEC, on the condition that applicants had at least a credit for the Bahasa Melayu paper in their SPM examination.
Fadhlina was replying to Sabri Azit (PN-Jerai), who asked for the ministry’s stand on recognising the UEC.
When PH was in government, it formed a task force to gather views on recognising the UEC, which was also among the coalition’s election pledges in 2018.
Led by sociologist Eddin Khoo, the task force included then Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement (Abim) president Raimi Abdul Rahim and then Dong Zong deputy president Tan Yew Sing.
However, its work ceased after the change of government in 2020, though the task force had completed a report.

ReplyDeleteee lang pusing lai, pusing khi
ReplyDeleteTo be clear this is not a PH government.
ReplyDeletePH did not win a majority in Parliament in GE 15.
"The education ministry does not plan to recognise the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC), says its minister, Fadhlina Sidek.
ReplyDeleteIn a brief written parliamentary reply today, Fadhlina said this stand was based on the National Education Policy, and the Education Act 1996."
Comment: so, before the election, promises were made to recognise the UEC DESPITE the existence of the National Education Policy and the Education Act 1996 but after forming the government you give the existence of the very National Education Policy and the Education Act 1996 for NOT recognising the UEC.
Isn't this wonderful? And if I am not mistaken Sabah and Sarawak DO recognise the UEC
Looks like only in Malaysia where election promises are openly and blatantly disregarded after the election and where one side of the country by the South China Sea (Sabah & Sarawak) recognises the UEC while across the sea (Malaya) does not.
Malaysia Boleh! (main belakang)
There are far more urgent and serious problems in the country, that equally impact the Chinese community, than UEC recognition.
ReplyDeleteUEC was a much more serious issue in the 1970s and 1980s, when private Higher Education access in country was Severely limited.
Most went to Taiwan or Singapore Nanyang for further studies.
What a tragedy. They should have left and never returned.
