Top scorer = obtaining scholarships????

Top scorer cry for not getting scholarships...... just one simple question, do all these top scorers really need those scholarship in order to continue to pursue for their study due to the family is unaffordable? or is it just simply bcoz of 'i'm a top scorer, i'm entitled to obtain a scholarship' thingy? Yes it is unfair that certain quaters obtained scholarship even with a poor results, but thinking back on those that 'qualify', do u really need it? without the scholarship r u really unable to continue ur study and have to find a job and start working ur ass to support your family? or is it just that by getting the scholarship will help mum n dad to save more money for their further investment??? As to my understanding, scholarship is to aid those poor brilliant top student in furthering their study, seems to me like nowadays, scholarships has lost its original meaning.
On the other hand, there r more and more top scorers being produced by our education system year by year fr PMR, SPM and STPM.. more and more straight A's student every year produced fr all these local examinations... all with tonnes of A's, but is all the A's really is an A?? Malaysia seems to hav so many brilliant mind as by only looking at the top scorer percentage in every year examination results, wow!! we should be leading internaltionally in all field by now. However, how come we are still far lagging behind of so many countries that their students r not so brilliant in compare to ours? For instance, Singapore. One answer lowering of the passing marks, lowering of the grades in the education system help creates tonnes of A's scorer, but do these A scorers really deserve to obtain an A? Don't ask me, ask the education ministry and those that r marking for the examination department.
I was born in the 70's, by the time when i reached form 2, i'm able to operate a microscope well, i'm no genius, i'm just an average student during my secondary schooling time, just that, it is in the syllabus of our science subject, we'v been trained well when we r in form 1. Now, in year 2009, students with an A in SPM biology are unable to operate a simpe light microscope.........So u tell me, what is wrong with our education system nowadays??? Still argueing for not getting a scholarship? i'll be worry more bout what hav i learned in school........
