Another Malaysian success story.

A Malaysian born  woman who hailed from Petaling Jaya was named dean of award wining engineering faculty of Canada's Waterloo university..Professor Pearl Lee Sullivan , a composite materials and aircraft structure expert would become the first female dean succeeding her predecessor, Professor Adel Setra whose nine year tenure would end on the 1st of July..
Once again it has proven that non malay Malaysians can only excel by going abroad where promotions are strictly based on merits and not on racists policies.One really wonder how many more Malaysians would have similarly climbed the ladder of success had they taken the plunge and venture abroad.
Perhaps it would also be timely to ask our govt why not even one single non malay have ever been appointed as Dean in any of our apex universities.How can any of our prime universities attain world recognition if we continue to adopt a policy of appointing intellectuals based on the colour of their skin and not based on the knowledge and intellect they possess.
The success of another Malaysian in the global stage is a timely reminder to our govt that we cannot remain myopic and that we need to focus on the larger picture of appointing Malaysians based on the knowledge and expertise they possess and not based on the Bumiputra policy .
