Public universities, in particular, are the gateway for many young Malaysians to secure their future. We cannot pretend the system is fair when stories of straight-A students being rejected for medicine, pharmacy, law, or engineering placements flood the public space. The quota system and weightage given to matriculation results have reduced the chances for STPM students to enter high-demand courses. This single exam should be the gatekeeper for entry into public universities, just as competitive exams are used in the civil service. A fair education system is not just about university entry - it is about nation building, nurturing talent, and assuring every child that hard work will be rewarded.
