MCA bo liao ko ai hao lian

MCA claimed today that they have helped 560 SPM chinese candidates in securing a JPA scholarship to study overseas.

Let's see how the figures work, rough estimation

Population of SPM Candidates 360,000

Chinese candidates = 0.3*360,000 = 108,000

Percentage a chinese getting the JPA scholarship = 560/108,000 = 0.52%

That is like among 200 Chinese, only 1 will get the scholarship.

Fine, scholarship is meant for the poor.

But Lorenz Curve says that 80% of the wealth is controlled by the 20% of the population, so 80% are living on average income (who can't afford to study abroad on their own)

so the average income chinese candidates = 0.8*108,000 = 86,400

Again, success rate = 560/86,400 = 0.65%

1 out of 154 of your friends will get the scholarship.

How big is your class, at most 50, that means there is only 1 people from the 3 classes will get it.

What's that to boast about? MCA?

si beh cia lat la....0.65% success rate also ceong tong kai...lei lou mei
