BOUNTIFUL TALENT BUT SIDELINED BY RACISM! Umno men wonder why 'dearth' of scholars in Malaysia

BOUNTIFUL TALENT BUT SIDELINED BY RACISM! Umno men wonder why 'dearth' of scholars in M'sia
It is important for local universities to obtain a good placing in international rankings as it doubles up as a key performance index, an Umno lawmaker said at a debate on the dearth of scholars in Malaysia.
Pulai MP Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said the international rankings helped to determine a student's marketability in the workplace upon graduation, adding that undergraduates from internationally accredited universities, such as Harvard and Princeton, are offered jobs even before they graduate.
The Public Accounts Committee chairman said the failure of local graduates to improve their marketability had led to them failing to secure employment.
"Students complain that they are finding it difficult to gain employment in the private sector and demand to be absorbed into the civil service."
"But how many graduates can be employed by Putrajaya? Complaints of racial discrimination in the private sector is actually unfounded," he said.
"The main issue of graduates not being employed in the private sector is not so much racial discrimination as it is the lack of marketability."
Nur Jazlan was speaking at a debate on the dearth of scholars in Malaysia, held at Universiti Malaya, alongside fellow Umno colleague Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah, who was former Deputy Higher Education Minister.
Saifuddin argued that international rankings were not the be-all and end-all for local universities as certain factors had to be taken into consideration.
"Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) definitely cannot participate in these international ranking exercises as it was set up for specific purposes.
"What is more important than international rankings is the strength of a university's faculties, the lecturers and professors."

Saifuddin, the Global Movement of Moderates chief executive officer, admitted that certain institutions such as Harvard Business School was famous.
"Students who get a chance to pursue a course there do not hesitate to take a bank loan to cover the entire cost of their education at HBS.
"This is because within a year-and-a-half after graduating, the student knows that he will have earned enough to repay the entire loan," Saifuddin said.
But, Saifuddin argued, the real vanguard of any university was the professors and lecturers of the various faculties as they were the ones imparting knowledge.
Nur Jazlan pointed out that allocations given to local universities by Putrajaya ran into billions of ringgit in an effort to increase the quality of lecturers.
"RM500 million worth of grants has been allocated by Putrajaya to encourage lecturers to do thesis and research papers, to help strengthen their positions.
"At the same time, it will also help to justify why an academician is promoted from lecturer to associate professor," Nur Jazlan said.
"But how many of our local research papers have been published? Or gained international recognition from the global academia?"
Nur Jazlan said while Universiti Malaya was acclaimed locally as one of the best in Malaysia, the same could not be said about its international position.
Both Nur Jazlan and Saifuddin agreed that free education in Malaysia was not practical as countries which practised this had the funds for such an endeavour.
"European countries which offer free education also have an income tax rate of 50%. Are Malaysians willing to pay that much?" Nur Jazlan asked.
"Presently, local universities cannot cope with the number of students who are applying for places. Expanding a university means additional costs.
"Building new universities is out of the question as this will dilute the quality of graduates," he said, adding that this would also cost more money.
Saifuddin suggested that Putrajaya should be more prudent and thrifty with spending, and crackdown hard on corruption.
"Perhaps tuition fees could be reduced so that students would not have to fork out so much for a tertiary education," he said.
During the question-and-answer session, a student asked the two Umno members whether it was true intellectuals found it difficult to progress in the party.
"I think that moving up and progressing in Umno depends on an individual's political luck," Saifuddin said, adding that there were also other considerations.
Global Movement of Moderates chief executive officer Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah says what is more important is to have good quality lecturers.
"When Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak chooses his Cabinet members, sometimes he also chooses non-politicians such as Datuk Seri Idris Jala."
Idris, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, was described as being 100% technocrat by Saifuddin, not a politician.
"Vocal Umno members are not necessarily punished or prevented from progressing within the party," said Nur Jazlan, adding that he had been a vocal critic.
"What is important is to remember that any protest or criticism should be espoused or expressed through the proper channels," he said.
Nur Jazlan pointed out that he had a regular column in The Malaysian Insider, where he regularly expressed his views and criticism.
"That is the meaning of mature politics, instead of protesting by stepping on an image or banner of Najib," Nur Jazlan added. –TMI
