![imnormgoh's tweet photo. [Reflections] Not getting into Universiti Malaya is not the end of the world. It has always been competitive, even back in 2006 when I completed my STPM.
This is a long post, please be patient with me.
I did not manage a perfect CGPA of 4.00, but I was satisfied with 3.42.
•General Paper (Pengajian Am): A
•Biology: B+
•Chemistry: B+
•Pure Mathematics: B
In SPM 2004, I scored 10As (7A1, 3A2). I applied for every major scholarship available at the time, yet received no reply. Why? Because I made mistakes in my applications and did not optimise my chances. Information was limited then, and I simply did not know better.
I was offered places at UNITEN and MMU for engineering, but I declined. My parents could not afford to support another child studying in West Malaysia while my brother was already in UPM. Form 6 and STPM became my only path, since I was not offered matriculation or foundation programmes.
At that time, I felt deeply disappointed. But looking back now, it was a valuable lesson.
After STPM, I applied more carefully, determined not to repeat the mistakes I made after SPM. With my CGPA, I had more choices and kept an open mind. Out of eight programme options, I was offered my preferred choice: Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Coincidentally, it was in my hometown, at the same university and programme where my mother worked as a clinical instructor. Sometimes, God arranges things in ways we cannot immediately understand.
I began my studies with a PTPTN loan, but later managed to secure a JPA scholarship after working hard to make the Dean’s List. That support carried me through all four years at UNIMAS, and it was truly a blessing.
I knew then that entering prestigious universities such as Universiti Sains Malaysia or Universiti Malaya as an undergraduate was unlikely. These institutions were highly competitive, as they still are today. Yet the journey I took brought me to where I am now. Since graduating from UNIMAS in 2011, I have no regrets. The experiences, challenges, and people I met shaped me into who I am today.
In Malay, we call this rezeki, or blessings from above. When one door closes, another will open, provided we are willing to create new paths and step forward ourselves.
There is a Malay proverb that stays with me:
“Ukur baju pada badan sendiri, hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih.”
Knowing your own limits, being humble, and persevering with effort are all important. Life is not always fair and there will be discrimination and setbacks, but that should not stop us from seeking other options or creating our own opportunities.
In October 2021, I finally entered Universiti Malaya to pursue a Master’s in Public Policy, the university I had dreamed of since my undergraduate days. I graduated in 2022 while still working at the EU, 11 years after my bachelor’s in 2011.
Now, as I prepare for my next chapter, I remind myself of a phrase I learned from my Muslim friends: “Wallahu A’lam” — God knows best. But faith alone is not enough. We must put in effort, remain open to opportunities, and keep moving forward.
Looking back, every rejection, every closed door, and every disappointment turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Life is not about where you begin, but about the resilience and choices that carry you forward.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0biVkbacAAk1oE.jpg)

Konflik dalaman dalam DAP kian memuncak apabila seorang penyokong kuat Lim Guan Eng secara terbuka memaki pengerusi DAP Pulau Pinang, Steven Sim pada majlis makan malam di Pulau Pinang, semalam.
Majlis makan malam itu diadakan sebagai tanda penghargaan kepada veteran parti itu, Lim Kit Siang yang juga bapa kepada Guan Eng.
Pun begitu, Sim dilihat tetap tenang dan hanya membalas dengan senyuman.

Semalam kita tengok Belanjawan Negeri, hari ni kita tengok pula gaji MB atau Ketua Negeri.
Ini data semasa yang dikaji oleh Malaysiakini tahun lepas. ISLAH tolong lukiskan.
Jelas, gaji MB tertinggi terletak di negeri2 miskin di Malaysia. Kelantan, Sabah, Terengganu dan Perlis. Gaji depa sangat tinggi dari kadar KDNK per kapita.
Andaiannya begini. Sebuah syarikat hasilnya kurang, untung ciput sekali. Namun, Pengarah2 nya punya gaji tinggi, setiap Pengarah dapat Mercedes sebjik, bonus lagi.
Pada masa yang sama gaji pekerjanya ciput, kadang nak bayar gaji pun kena buat loan. Pekerja minta bonus depa suruh minta company lain pula. Bilamana Pengarah tiap2 tahun wajib bercuti ke luar negara.
Jadi apa pandangan pelabur ke atas mereka? Syarikat berjayakah? Tambah dah 30 tahun lagu tu juga. Seolah2 nak kekal begitu selamanya.
Sememangnya dikaji sejak berzaman. Ada kalangan politikus sama ada dulu atau kini hendak kekalkan rakyat dalam kemiskinan. Kerana kemiskinan itu membawa kepada kekufuran. Senang lah dibodohkan.
Ada yang kata orang miskin dan susahlah yang lebih dekat dengan Tuhan. Barulah politik agama boleh jalan.
Saya percaya, kerja Ulamak itu berdakwah agar orang lebih dekat dengan agama. Tapi kalau Ulamak politik, dengan segala dalil mereka nak berkuasa, membuatkan orang lain menjauhkan pula.
Contoh dalil yang ada: rasuah itu sedekah, menipu itu harus, fitnah dan bunuh itu dosa tak berat mana. Macam mana dia pikir pun kita blur.
Moga Malaysia dipimpin oleh Umara berkaliber, yang tahu dan arif tugas utamanya ialah untuk bina negara.
Aman makmur dan sejahtera untuk semua anak bangsa.
Salam hormat,
Liyana Marzuki
