The online applications to public universities of three former SMK Seri Teja students will not be affected although their eight choices had all been changed to Islamic Studies by an unidentified hacker.
Deputy Higher Education Minister Dr Hou Kok Chung gave the assurance after receiving their appeal letters.
“We will process their applications based on their choices and not their online applications that were tampered,” he told reporters after attending the dialogue between MCA leaders and Chinese guilds and associations leaders at Wisma MCA yesterday.
He said the ministry was looking into the online system to ensure that this incident did not recur.
Last Friday, the university hopefuls were shocked to find their online applications had all their eight choices changed to Islamic Studies. They were also unable to amend the changes.
The students said they had received SMSes from an unidentified person who admitted to making the changes to their applications
