PETALING JAYA: MCA has urged the government to admit 11 SPM top scorers who have been left out of enrolment into the matriculation programme.
Its president, Wee Ka Siong, said government leaders had promised that SPM 10A scorers would automatically be admitted into the matriculation programme.
He said the government had announced that 6,717 students who achieved 10As in the 2025 SPM would receive automatic offers.
“However, the MCA Youth secretariat has received 11 complaints from 10A scorers who were left out, raising serious questions about this so-called ‘automatic’ system.
“What went wrong? Isn’t an automatic mechanism supposed to be foolproof? How could such omissions happen?” he said in a Facebook post.
Wee said the complaints received by MCA Youth may be only the tip of the iceberg, as other political parties have also stepped in to assist students with their appeals.
He urged Putrajaya to honour its commitment and rectify the oversight within the next few days, so that SPM 10A students who were left out can rightfully secure their places.
On April 8, the education ministry gave an assurance that all SPM 2025 candidates who scored 10As and above who apply for the government-run matriculation programme will be offered places.
The ministry said the automatic offer is given to all candidates who apply to join the matriculation programme regardless of their race and background.
