Most of us are facing this problem which concerns about our future, scholarship being suspended all of a sudden, after all the efforts put in for university application. We feel angry, furious, and most of all upset. This issue has actually affected our emotions a lot. We get demotivated. What's the point of studying so hard, getting an offer from top universities in the world when we don't have the funding?Ohh you can go and find your scholarship. True. There are scholarships out there. But for 700 students? Are you freakin kidding me?! How many of them actually sponsor for overseas universities? Is there even any scholarship for critical courses like medicine, pharmacy etc? You might think that it's no big deal, we shouldn't think of going overseas all the time. What's wrong with studying local right. Have you ever done any research, how many IPTA accepts a level? Even if they do, STPM and matrikulasi are always their priority. Local private universities? Ain't everybody has the money for that. We did not put on high hopes to study overseas. Before bursary, I did not even dare to dream studying abroad. But after all the hopes we were given, all the hard work, now you are throwing us to hell from heaven. Imagine. Those who get their unconditional offer, trying to fill in their form to confirm their offer, only to realise they are not sponsored. How inhumane this is!

Whatever the decision is, if it doesn't provide us a good path, we won't give up this easily. We are the future leaders of the country. I believe we have the capability to fight for ourselves. We don't have the power, neither do we have as much connections, but if we unite, our brains wouldn't lose to theirs. Let's all hope for the best, and if the results aren't satisfying, do not give up.
