So don't try to pretend that you can educate your children overseas
unless they are the very best from the nation. If it were the sons of
Ambassadors, let them be sponsored by the government, as long as they
are the best that Malaysia has produced.
Even Singa****e follows this policy, except that they still follow the
bonding scholar****ps very closely, even for foreigners. Singa****e
gives loans but didn't request for repayment, only bonding, unlike
Malaysia.

At least you start using your brain, unlike many of the racist
chinese. And please stop the lies that it was the Malays or
Malaysians, who started these NEP policies. It was started by the
British much much earlier and much more efficiently. It is the Malays
who abandoned NEP according to the original objective and replacing it
with corruptions by awarding contracts to cronies by a much larger
amount compared to educational assistances that are designed for the
poor, instead of just the middle class.
