These are overseas scholar****ps that are most probably bonding
scholar****ps.
Singa****e also offers virually every student admitted to Singa****ean
Universities and Polytechniks, loans that need not be paid back but
bonded to work anywhere in Singa****e for a few years.
Many Sabahans are benefiting from these loans and they are not the top
students.

Because you don't fully understand what I'd written.
At least you seem to admit that Malaysia no longer give scholar****ps
but loans, unlike Singa****e.

It may be different but it was started by the British.

You mean Mendaki. This is not necessarily a grant but a revolving loan
funds.
The worst fact is that it is now no longer unlimited unlike
previously, but ironically unlimited for non-Malays and even
Malaysians or overseas students who are accepted by Singa****ean
university institutions, or at least that is what I practically
observe.

You'll be surprised. I am the one who pointed out that Singa****e was
the ones who give much better privileges to Malays than even Malaysia
just before Goh Chok Thong introduced Mendaki to limit the fund to
educate Malays.
Many Malays are not happy because they had to apply for it and
therefore highly politicised.
