1st Tutorial Class

Today, we had our first BBL tutorial class for this semester. Every group were ready with the article that found from newspaper that regarding issue of law.

Our group had found an articles about Bumiputera Status Issues that happened in Sabah and Sarawak. The articles was had claimed that differences of Bumi Putera Status between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

For Peninsular Malaysia, a child consider as Malaysian if either one of his/her parents is Malaysia.
For Sarawak, a child will be consider as Malaysian with the term that both father and mother must be Malaysian.
For Sabah, a child will be consider as Malaysian with the term his father is a Malaysian.

The differentiate of Bumi Putera Status had cause a lot of children from Sabah and Sarawak been denied for the entry to Matriculation of Local University Programme. A lot of complaint had been make from parents to Sawarak Teaching Union.

The main issue for this case was Bumi Putera Status. Parties that involved were government and resident which STU and students with their parents. It was a case categorize in public law and under administrative law.

Our group's opinion on this case is Malaysia Government must enforce a new law to standisesd Bumu Putera Status for the whole Malaysia as soon as possible. Thus help to solve status discrimination and to unite Malaysian more stronger.
