Straight A1 students who failed JPA

[Shn]

When i approached a politician (don't ask who) to appeal for jpa scholarship, he looked at my result and asked me since i did well, why i didn't take more subjects as i would have had a higher chance of securing the scholarship by doing that. This is contrary to government's aim to emphasize on quality and not quantity. So, i'm starting this thread to see how true this is. Those who got straight A1, please kindly state your name, chosen course and your result for this purpose. I'll start with myself.

Nick: Shn
Course: Medicine
Result: 10 A1


p/s:sorry if there is something wrong with this thread, i'm just a newbie anyway....

State your race and we'll know if it's lucky! I'm not trying to be a racist here but you're just annoying. Don't simply go insult people by saying you're lucky you didn't get straight A1. And if you're a moderator, ReCom would fall.

Well.. "to emphasize on the quality" means... you got more than 95 for all the 9 subjects.. then rank yourself among the top 20 in malaysia... and get the scholarships automatically...

if not.. i guess it is always better to take as many subjects as you can without neglecting your eca...

Another straight A1 student rejected...quoted from the star

PSD rejects 10 A1 student for scholarship

By SYLVIA LOOI


IPOH: An aspiring doctor had her dreams dashed when the Public Services Department (PSD) rejected her application to study medicine overseas.
K. Kamine Devi, who scored 10 A1s in last year's SPM, said she had her heart set on becoming a doctor that she even participated in an attachment programme which exposed her to a doctor's job in April.
?I refused to believe my eyes when I found out on Sunday through the PSD website that my application was unsuccessful,? she said on Tuesday, adding that she checked the result of her application several times to confirm.
?I felt that my world collapsed that day,? said the 17-year-old former science stream student of SMK Ahmad Boestamam in Sitiawan, about 90km from here.
Speaking at a press conference called by State Health, Environment and Human Resources Committee chairman A. Sivanesan, Kamine Devi said her confidence was boosted when the PSD issued a statement recently guaranteeing scholarships for students who scored 9As in their SPM.
?I just want to become a doctor so I can serve the country,? said the daughter of a quality controller father and a housewife mother.
?With my father's monthly salary of RM3,600, he will not be able to send me overseas to study medicine,? she said, adding that she was active in her school?s co-curriculum activities.
To make matters worse, Kamine Devi's application to matriculation programmes was also rejected.
Sivanesan said Kamine Devi's rejection made a mockery of PSD's earlier statement.
?The PSD should have taken the top scorers result from the Malaysian Examination Syndicate and offer scholarships to the students.
?The onus is on the students whether they want to accept or reject the scholarships,? he said.
He also invited parents of children who face the same predicament as Kamine Devi to come forward and see him.
?I will assist them in writing to the PSD,? he said
