PSD scholarship disbursement destroying BN's credibility

More believe scholarships were given to children of top government oficials

The recent announcement by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Aziz that the government will NOT publicize the list of scholarship holders only goes to strengthen the Malaysian public's believe that most of the PSD scholarships went to the children of top government officials rather than the needy and the poor.

For many years the public have heard stories of children of top government officials being offered scholarships year after year and nothing has been done to dispel such rumors. Nazri's statement can only mean that what the public believe is true all along.

This sorry state of affairs has even prompted people like Tan Sri Ramon Ravaratnam who are calling for more transparency and accountability in the BN governement which does not practice what it preaches.

Of course, the easiest way to settle this mess is to just print the list, but then will the public be shocked to see a "Who's Who" list being given scholarships? Or are we already immune to the fact that it is already common knowledge?

Malaysiakini: The whole scholarship process is secretive and suspicious

The Star: This is the work of a dishonest government
