First and for most, what constitutes the meaning of a Master?
I would say a Master is a person who holds power and can regulate other people within his order and desires, and people are bound to his judgment. Without a Master’s consent, one could not reach to a decision which is important to be made there after.

There has been said and stated that, the first year under the meritocracy implementation, the Malays mantain their chart as the biggest group of getting into the local U. While there has been an increase of the amount of the Chinese students, the Indians was said to be left out. They enjoyed 5% of students quota, before dropped to about 3 and 4% after the implementation of meritocracy. Read the rest of this entry »
