The most toxic boss I had (so far), sent her eldest daughter to MRSM somewhere in Johor. Her T20 daughter once complained that she’s shocked her classmates don’t know anything about Harry Potter. Also frustrated ‘cause most of them couldn’t converse in English
I was appalled so I said, ‘Memang MRSM untuk anak-anak B40 yang cemerlang pun kan? They wouldn’t have much exposure to Harry Potter’

I think she was taken aback so trying to rationalise that some MRSM need T20 & M40 students for donations & contributions to upkeep the classrooms
I’m not even sure if that is true 🤔

She legit said that MRSM in Johor is the low-tier one so it would be easier for her daughter to be top scorer but it somehow wouldn’t sit well with her #LOL #iseeyou
The last update I know, the daughter was on the waiting list to get into TKC - trying to use the alumni card as her grandmother & aunty are alumni (not even my toxic boss lol)

I don’t understand ‘cause they are more than well-off to afford private education for IGCSE
My colleague who’s MRSM alumnus & high-ranking government servant’s daughter chipped in saying it helped her parents who have lots of kids (5) & ultimately it’s for bumiputra (lol)

I’m not sure whether they realized that they are not in need of financial assistance for education
Another colleague, an alumnus, 2 out of her 4 children are in MRSM. Every year their whole family go for overseas holiday at least once, sometimes twice & I’m talking about Italy, Spain, New Zealand etc.

So those B40 who benefitted from the policy turned into T20 parasites?
Additional: Next is what?

New double-standard & subtle discrimination based on the MRSM kids graduated from knowing this branch is where the rich/poor kids are at as if the existing ones (top-tier & low-tier) is not happening already?
Then it continues with public universities; UM, UiTM, UKM, UPM etc. pulak? (as if it’s not happening already #lol)

Affirmative actions gone wrong by the poor-turned-rich for the rich instead of the other way around. Sick society.
Oh shizz, I just remembered they also tried to rationalise by saying that they & their parents pay taxes too 🫠

I have another thought on that MRSM thingy.

My younger brother got into MRSM Pasir Salak for Form 1 but dropped out the next year ‘cause my parents just couldn’t afford it.

It was costly for them. Uniform je dah berapa jenis, kos-kos lain lagi.
If MRSM truly exist to help B40 kids, kenapa ‘roh’ dia tak macam B40 langsung?

The real B40 kids pakai kasut sekolah yang sama for classes, sports, outing, you-name-it.

Full uniform paling mewah pun 2 pasang je sepanjang tahun.
Think about it, how does this happen? Who needed the supply contract? Who pestered the school insisting on requirement for things they don’t actually need?

Who in the right mind think B40 would be able to afford it?

Is this what ‘excellence without a soul’ looks like?
