00:00MCA President Wika Siung today challenged the Higher Education Department's figure of 85
00:06available seats in University Malaya's accounting program this year.
00:10Citing UM's convocation data, we said nearly 200 students had graduated from the course annually
00:17between 2011 and 2024. JPT said yesterday that STPM top scorer Edward Wong was ranked 1,129th
00:26among 2,291 eligible applicants for UM, while only 85 places for accountancy were available
00:33at his top choice university this year. We called for a full review of the university intake process
00:40and transparency on how seats are allocated. He also dismissed UMNO Youth Chief Dr. Akmal Saleh's
00:47call for him to apologize to the Higher Education Ministry for his remarks on the case, adding that
00:52he was only highlighting the matter. On a separate issue, we sidestepped questions about a reported
00:58informal meeting between MCA, MIC and Pericata Nacional, telling reporters to ask PN Secretary
01:04General Azmin Ali instead. In June, we said the party's 191 divisions would discuss its future amid
01:12discontent over its lack of influence in Anwar Ibrahim's unity government and bring their proposals
01:18to the annual general meeting next month. Pan Yuzhou, FMT.
