56 Per cent Of PSD Scholarship For Bumiputera
KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- The Public Service Department (PSD) gave out 2,850 scholarships to students to study abroad last year, said a minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Seri Nazri Abd Aziz.
He said about 56 percent of the scholarships were awarded to Bumiputera students including in Sabah and Sarawak while the rest were awarded to non-Bumiputera students.
Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby, Nazri said distribution of the scholarships was based on four categories namely merit, ethnic race, Sabah/Sarawak Bumiputera, and their social background.
For the merit category, he said 59 scholarships (20 percent) were given out to Bumiputera while 241 scholarships (80 percent) were for non-Bumiputera.
For the quota based on racial groups, Bumiputera students received 557 scholarships compared with 343 for the non-Bumiputera.
Another 150 scholarships were given out to Sabah and Sarawak Bumiputera while 1,500 scholarships were given out based on the recipients social background -- 841 scholarships for Bumiputera and 657 for non-Bumiputera.
"If based on merit, only a few Bumiputera succeeded in getting the scholarship, thus, next year, Bumiputera students need to study harder," Nazri said.

Fikrah:
1) 20% for Bumiputera on Merit based, means the level of standard of the bumiputera's students still in critical condition. Thus, to study harder indeed, is a good suggestion.
2) Overall, PSD (JPA) scholarship is still one of the main important sources for the students to pursue their studies. Human Resource (Sumber Insan) indeed, is priceless, and worth all the money can buy; especially, when living in Malaysia.
