Selangor MCA pushes UEC recognition, merit-based varsity entrance
The party wants Putrajaya to disclose admission data, quotas and selection criteria for higher education pathways.
In a resolution adopted at its 2026 state convention, the party urged Putrajaya to “fulfil its election promises as soon as possible” by granting full recognition to the UEC through a “fair, transparent and standardised” mechanism.
In May, the government decided that UEC graduates could pursue their studies at public higher learning institutions.
However, the programmes available to them are limited to the following: bachelor of arts in Chinese language studies with honours; bachelor’s degree in Chinese language and linguistics; bachelor of arts in Chinese studies; and bachelor’s degree in Chinese language with education.
Selangor MCA also called for a review of admission mechanisms for STPM, matriculation and foundation programmes, as well as the public university admission system (UPU).
The party said admissions should be based on academic performance and merit, with qualified students given equal opportunities.
“The government must ensure that all qualified students are given equal opportunities and publicly disclose admission data, quota allocations and selection criteria for all higher education pathways,” the resolution said.
After the convention, Selangor MCA chief Lawrence Low told reporters that about 630 members turned up for the event, which discussed politics, party affairs, education, culture and the economy.
During the convention, he said there were also calls to review Selangor’s guidelines on non-Muslim houses of worship following public complaints about the demolition of places of worship and parking issues.
He said a special committee headed by Petaling Jaya MCA youth chief Andy Teoh would look into the legal aspects of the guidelines and the complaints.
Pig farms
Selangor MCA also urged the state government to consult pig farmers and industry operators over existing livestock farming policies and provide compensation and assistance to those affected.
“The government should assist industry operators in making an orderly transition to other suitable livestock sectors,” it said.
The call comes after the Selangor government imposed a statewide ban on pig farming earlier this year, with existing farms ordered to cease operations in stages.
On the economy, Selangor MCA called for the goods and services tax to replace the sales and service tax and e-invoice system, and proposed a cross-sector special economic committee to coordinate the government’s response to global economic risks and external shocks.
It also called for tighter verification and monitoring of foreign nationals and refugees, particularly the Rohingya, as well as a review of the migrant worker recruitment system.
