Reason 13: Dual educational system for bumi and non-bumi
Bumi students are entitled for first class facilities like residential school, MARA Junior College, etc.
Reason 12: Secondary school sciences and maths are taught in Malay language
Chinese (as well as many Malay and Indian parents) objected using English for science and maths at the primary school.
Reverted secondary school science and maths to Malay language is UMNO way of pleasing right-wing Malays.

Reason 11: 1 Public University, 2 Pre-U Examinations
Under the name of long overdue NEP, BN government implemented two pre-u exams, STPM for non-bumi and Matrikulasi for bumi.
As usual, UMNO goon says both are same in academic standard by assuming non-bumis are stupid and brainless as them. My question is why should we have two examinations to segregate her people if there are same standard?
STPM and Matrikulasi syllabus actually is different, meaning BN government is comparing an orange and an apple. In another word, STPM is different with Matrikulasi.
Chinese has no envy to see 100% Malay students studying in the public universities IF they are truly smart and assessed in a same examination.
No doubt, NEP-trained Malays are smart to cheat, but still no smart enough to pass STPM examination.
Reason 10: Chinese primary schools are bastardized by BN
I look at our constitution, Chinese is free to learn and use mandarin or their languages. There is no dispute on Bahasa Melayu is our national language, but still cannot relate it to Chinese schools getting only 50% subsidy for its development costs.
English status is like Mandarin, both are no national language. English medium schools were fully subsidized by Federal Government before the nationalization in 70s while Chinese primary schools only a half subsidized.
BN is playing up 50% subsidy issue to force Chinese voting them during elections. This tactic works initially, but being a permanent beggar has pissed off many Chinese.
UMNO is the root of trouble in Malaysia.
