PETALING JAYA: Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) holders can enrol into public universities, provided that they obtain a credit in Bahasa Malaysia and a pass in History in the SPM exams, according to Barisan Nasional's election manifesto. The same also applies to Malaysians with overseas examination certificates that are equivalent to SPM and STPM. The United Chinese School Committees' Association of Malaysia has been pushing for the UEC to be recognised by the Government. The Sarawak government has opened its civil service to UEC holders. They can also enter public universities in the state.
