Malaysia’s limited public university seats block high-achieving students from top programs, sparking calls for reform.
Limited university seats in Malaysia are blocking top students, including those with 4.0 CGPAs, from securing preferred public university programs, the Higher Education Ministry confirmed in a December 4, 2025, parliamentary reply.
The ministry cited factors like program availability, academic performance, and interviews as admission criteria, noting no political bias.
Critics, including Dr Wee Ka Siong and retired civil servants in G25, argue that shrinking subsidized slots and reliance on commercial admissions undermine merit-based access, calling for reform to ensure fairness and transparency.
These concerns come amid broader efforts to boost Malaysia’s global education standing through a centralized international admissions system and a 10-year higher education roadmap.
