A public service announcement on behalf of the Government of Malaysia.
Mr. Shahrezan Md Sheriff, the student advisor of the Public Service Department (that administers the Public Service Department scholarships/PSD) has advised all Malaysian students on PSD/JPA scholarships not to attend Mr. Anwar Ibrahim’s talk at the Adelaide Festival of Ideas.
He notes, in the Government of Malaysia English, that attending this talk:
…could make your hardship in maintaining good grades and earning the scholarship goes down the drain. I wouldn’t hesitate to take stern action to those (JPA scholars) involved. You know really well what you’ve signed into.
Yes, the moderate Malaysians have moved…to
Melbourne, Sydney, London and Manchester….

That is not something new. It is however going out of control, with the “New” moderate Malaysia defined by Najib.

Grades have been deteriorating in Malaysia
since Tun Onn. Malaysia’s education policy
is a non-policy.

I am rather concerned about this attempt to make Malaysians more stupid by preventing students on PSD/JPA scholarships from learning how other countries operate their freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, etc.
My concern is that we are possibly creating a whole new second-class of Malaysians, in which case, I will probably have to change my nick to “A Third Class Malaysian” just to ensure I don’t compete with the new second class.

This is a very common occurrence. I hope more scholars will speak up and/or send in e-mails and circulars they have received. Many such e-mails went around before the Bersih rallies.

Scholars are reminded not to be thinkers yet again. PSD wishes that you’ll enjoy your public funded journey, and help the incumbent to devise new ways to wring juice from rocks.

Presumably this has been verified. The English is not very good for a supposed public service announcement.

ABC even ran a story on it.
