SBT/HPS

I was reading through some blogs and online discussions when the issue of SBT came up
One prominent opposition leader wrote about the 2009 SPM top achievers list was a slap on the face for the TPM's list of HSP and the issue that there were no HPS school from the east malaysia. It made me wonder,

1. Since when it was HIS list? He didn't choose, he announced.
2. Does everyone know the meaning of HPS? and the things the schools had to go through to achieve that status? The documentation....can't imagine
3. Do people understand the difference of high performing school and high performing students? One high performing student doesn't make a HPS.

just some thoughts...

and I'm sure its gonna bug me in my dreams tonight (or morning)....alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
