Playing the same chorus
How many times have we told ourselves thing will changes for the better next year? The very fundamental structure of a society will collapses when merits are worthless and the thought of cronism, preferential treatment and hypocrisy filled the minds of people, rendering the image of a corrupted institution guarded by many layers of funny looking leaders with screwy policies.
Something is bounded to be lost bit by bit in the heart of many when this kind of headlines make it to the media this time around every single year.
I lost my sense of duty to go back and serve my country.
Via The Star today:
Two months ago, Ng Ee Liang, Desmond Chee and Teoh Wan Ying were feeling on top of the world when they each scored 13 1As and were named Penang’s top SPM scorers.But all their dreams and hopes came crashing down on Monday after finding out that their applications for Public Services Department (PSD) scholarships had been rejected.
[...]“There are 25 top scorers nationwide and I am in 14th position. All of us had lunch with Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and received certificates from both the Prime Minister and Education Minister for our achievements.
“Yet, the certificates do not seem to be able to support my scholarship application,” said the former student of Chung Ling High School, Butterworth.
