Meritocracy Phobia-Syed Nazri
ABSTRACT FROM:
HARDCOPY: Time to get over meritocracy phobia
By Syed Nadzri; NST, JULY 14, 2005
MERITOCRATIC discrimination? That’s probably one of the worst oxymorons we’ll ever hear. But it came over the weekend from Johor Umno — yes, the same group that urged the Umno headquarters a fortnight ago not to publicise the names of those found guilty of money politics. Johor Umno liaison committee had criticised the meritocracy system introduced by the Government, saying it had resulted in a fall in the achievement of Malay students and was thus a form of "discrimination and oppression".
How do you like that? Meritocracy equals discrimination.
