PETALING JAYA: MCA will continue to assist straight-A students to enter the matriculation programme, regardless of race, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong."Recently the Prime Minister announced that students who scored 10As will be given automatic offers to join the matriculation programme, regardless of race and background.
However, there are a few questions raised on the issue, including whether the announcement will take effect this year or the next as there have been conflicting media reports, he said. Dr Wee said the ministry also mentioned that matriculation intake was subject to applications for 10As or straight-As."The Prime Minister announced the new policy but the due date for matriculation intake and appeal has ended. We hope for an explanation by the ministry," he said.
