First and foremost, I wish to thank Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib for extending JPA scholarships to all races based on merit. It is a timely move to prove that this Government is truly in keeping with its 1Malaysia concept. With a minimum score of 9 A+’s for the SPM exam, students will be able to further in their tertiary education irrespective of race.

Penang Gerakan through the Legal and Human Rights Bureau has been assisting students in this matter. So far, 4 students, of which 3 are Chinese and 1 Indian have approached the party with copies of their application. Being a multiracial party, Gerakan will do our utmost best to assist these and other student if in need.
