PURE RACISM? DESPITE GETTING 11A+ IN SPM, 18-YEAR-OLD XIN YI FAILS TO GET PSD SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY IN GERMANY

IPOH: Teh Xin Yi’s efforts to excel in her SPM examinations paid off with 11A+ but her joy may be shortlived. Her dream to study electronics engineering in Germany may be dashed if she fails to get a scholarship.

When she logged on to the Public Service Department’s (PSD) website on Wednesday, she shed tears of frustration after learning that she was not among the successful applicants for the PSD scholarship programme.

The 18-year-old former student of SMJK Ave Maria Convent consistently put in her best efforts to score straight As, and was also active in co-curriculum activities.

She applied for the Japan, South Korea, France and Germany Special Programme (JKPJ) and also the National Sponsorship Programme (NSP).

“I am very disappointed that despite being a high achiever, I am unable to pursue the course of my dream in a foreign university.

“I have put in my appeal with PSD hoping to be admitted to the PSD programme,” she told a press conference organised by Ipoh Barat MCA Youth chief Aldrich Low here yesterday.

WORKING CLASS PARENTS , 220 SCHOLARSHIPS WHILE ONLY 102 SCORED STRAIGHT As BUT STILL SHE WAS DROPPED 

Teh said her dream was to study at a prestigious university in Germany but without a scholarship, her parents could not afford to send her abroad.

Her father is a technician and her mother works as a production controller in a factory.

“My parents are also taking care of my grandparents, and my younger sister who is in Form Three,” she said.

Low said there were 220 places for the JKPJ and NSP programmes, while only 102 students nationwide, including Teh, scored straight As.

He said he would assist Teh in her appeal to PSD, and asked other students in Perak facing the same predicament to approach Perak MCA for assistance.
