the wrong system

well yeterday i didnt update my blog cause i went to stadium batu kawan to receive the Dermasiswa MSSPP 2007. i got rm200. yesterday the msspp olahraga was held there too. a lot of students went all out to win. i know that they have sacrifice a lot for this event. i am sure some of them had miss school, study time and a lot more just for that. but i think they have made a big mistake.they should know that the system in malaysia is more on academic excellence rather than cocuriculum excellence.students who have excel in sports and have decent academic result had been overlooked. some nerds who cant even carry 2kg dumbell and run like a slowpoke is regarded highly and can get scholarship and enter university easily. this system is wrong and should be revised. if this system is still continue to be use, we might not see any nicol david or lee chong wei in the future. our country also will not be able to be a sport country and our search for olympic gold medal will continue. students who are excellence in sport should be considered as an asset for malaysia and we should push them to improve and more place should be given to them to enter universities so their future wont be in hang. we should start and look at sports powerhouse like usa, canada, and australia which continue to help their talented youngsters. hope the new sport minister will look into this and plan what to do to help the students which are good in sport.
