Zambry calls for higher-education admissions to be merit-based and free from politics | Malaysia’s No.1 Higher Education Website
In this article, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir asserts that admissions to public universities must be strictly merit-based and entirely insulated from political influence. He directs concerned parents and students to use the official University Admissions Unit (UPU) for placement issues, emphasizing that the integrity of the education system depends on professional standards. Additionally, the minister highlights that students who do not secure university spots have viable alternative pathways through TVET, polytechnics, and community colleges to develop specialized skills.
