Buy a University place?

Want a pace in varsity? Buy a number

Students who want to apply for a pace in public universities (IPTA) must buy an ID number to forward their applications.

From March 3, 2009, they can buy the number for RM10.60 - RM15.60 at Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN).

According to Higher Education Department Director-General Datuk Prof Radin Umar, those who bought the number would then be given 3 chances to make changes.

Note: the unique number purchase is not intended to be like Magnum or Sports Toto or BigSweep. It's necessary because there are too many applicants (139,207) and only 40,500 places available for grabs.

Note: This is not about buying degrees; it is buying a privilege to make changes on their applications before the closing date.

Note: Those who cannot afford may have to apply for loan from banks or their political representative - MP or ADUN.

There's nothing unIslamic or Islamic about that. The rationale is simple... The process remove those who just collect and send forms without the commitment. Only those who are committed to the aplication would buy the ID and that removes the unwanted bulk from the screening process..

If you're not committed why do you send the forms in the first place?

Seriously this is another ploy to generate money at the expense of students who're desperately looking for a place in higher education.

What an innovative way of making money?.

Just by selling numbers alone and nothing else(no value added), this will generate more than RM1.4 million income.

Really genius. Hip hip boleh.
