The double standards practiced by the Government in helping certain people to go into Universities via the Matriculation system as if they were handicap and needed spoon feeding should be revisited. Even if they needed such attention there is always a way of ensuring that only the deserving will be granted a place in the University. NO PAIN NO GAIN but for some all the way in their life they need crutches. This approach would only make them lazier but the irony is that they could become your bosses no matter what.

The result a total deterioration of the country on the whole ….. It had started during TDM government, accelerated by him and his policies for political reasons and God knows when/where it will end! My prediction possibly when 2020 comes along we wont be a developed country, no not a developing country but and under developed country!!!, If nothing is done to address this issue. We have to start somewhere and I think where more befitting then in the Education Department. For a change our Kris waving Education Minister should think seriously of his current portfolio or opt to take over from our Minister of Home Affairs who I personally think should be sent to the cheapest government run old folks home where he can accelerate his eccentricity and apply the ISA on himself.

So the down line is instead of confusing the poor students of all races by frequently changing the mode of education to suit certain sect the Government should identify ways of upgrading the education system for quality not quantity (theoretically), justices to all and not for interest of a certain race and most of all for starters to compete with our neighboring country (Singapore) who are far more advance then us in knowledge and skill.

In the first place, have we ever stopped to analyze the real issues that lead to poor command of English amongst our children? How do you expect to cure high fever by taking aspirins or panadols? If we leave it 100% to the politicians, this is what we get. The wrong prescription to our ailments.

For the state we’re currently in, I put the blame squarely on Dr. Mahathir’s shoulders:

1) For giving us the wrong prescription,
2) For implementing the policy in haste,
3) For not listening and taking in advice from professionals on both sides, and
4) For conducting a failed experiment on our children.

When you compare , the parameters must be established
essentially you can only compare an apple with another apple

simply it means you cannot get a good understanding in comparing between an apple and a coconut.

more intrinsically, nations have cultures and value system which differs and are unique.

The nations mentioned have a commonality and that there have a relatively more mono race population than bolihland and we differs from them strongly .
Whereas bolihland tends to be relatively more multi cultural with respect to her population. It is further made more complex by the composition and distribution of race throughout the nation in geographical sense.

On the other hand the history of education and their emphasis of importance and development of the mention nation was born earlier that bolihland.

But if you compare those nations with respect of their strengths and weakness it is a different story all by it self.
lets see…how
Bolihlands history is unique too as we have been ruled by a nation which possess strong administrative capabilities in governing nations, in which the world has either directly or indirectly benefited and ….that.. is the rule of law and of english laws.

It is a known fact that their language , sometimes referred as queens language has evolved to become the “international language” literally it means almost everyone speaks and uses it to comminicate and express themselves.
International ..? why ..because the world has become smaller and reachable , it is referred as globalisation phenomena brought about by the marvel of the computers and internet and handphones.
Do you use one too?

It would a long lesson …so in a nutshell think about this paraphrase by a well known chinese who speak tamil,english, malay, hakka , hokkien , cantonese, and others

he said “NO MAN IS AN ISLAND” and his nation is one of the most respected nation of todays.

So before you become a steadfast believer of unilanguage idiot nation you might as well lock yourself up.

Language is only a tool. We have to sharpen it and use it to our advantage.

I hope the Minister of Education is listening.

those chinese fanatics only care about themselves and they couldn’t care about your children progress in english and whether your children are employable or not……

As a result, we now see all schools and universities are stuffed with these under qualified teachers, lecturers and professors who are struggling to teach something that they are not qualified to teach.

To be fair, not all chinese or indians are smart and they too have their fair share of idiots. Definitely I don’t want them to be a teacher to teach our children. No one race can be so dynamic to be self-sufficient in every field and it stupid to deny those who are smart from other races.

We must restore meritocracy and revamp the whole education system. We also have to bring back the teaching of english, since science and technologies are from the west. Malaysia is so far backward and have no choice but to study english to stay abreast with other advance countries.

We still have a good pool of retired teachers and why not recruit them to start teaching a new generation of students to be the future teachers to replace all those unqualified ones.

so Instead i go pass my self the 199….how am i doing?

Great it is beetter than singlish ..youthink so..thanks a lots

Just because the politicians who also wants to play headmaster we have to play ball with him and what the heck he only play part time at every 4 or 5 years.

Denial , denial and denial , these people are very predictable and do not have many reasons to defy use of the english language in our schools education.

Just dont ever forget chinese among many things brought the idea of affordable education into bolihland and other started imitating and became jealous.

The british also have their version too as in the parish and churches.

So the others asked the british to help them set up their own.

And then trouble struck, some idiot says we must have commonality and started to force changes in the schooling system.

now they are still forcing the changes, with experiments after experiments but without any hypothesis being set, so they got wrong output and wrong output and they do and redo and repeat the same experiment until today,
so how bloody more years are needed to complete the experiment.

All ought to be very educated now considering the amount of time and resources being spent.
Least not is the experience gain, and gained we got and alot of half baked academians being the products of a short changed $$$ system at the expense of the nation future and competitiveness.

I quote this from some way:(Just for fun)

Three archeologists are sitting and discussing their finding(Show off finding). The American archeologist said that he found a piece of copper wire at a depth of 50 meter behind his house, he concluded that the American already know how to use copper wire 500 years ago. Then the British archeologist said that he found a piece of fishing line at a depth of 50 meter also and jump to the conclusion that the Briton know how to use optical fibre 500 years ago. Finally the Malaysian archeologist paused for a while and gave his side of the story. He said he couldn’t find any artifact even at a depth of 100 meter. This concluded according to him was that Malaysian already know how to use wireless system 1000 years ago. Cheerio..

The term to use is Kulitfication.

Policy makers of education department listen:
DON’T YOU CHANGE THE PRESENT SYSTEM. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS CHANGE ALL THOSE TEACHERS CAN’T TEACH THESE SUBJECTS IN ENGLISH. BRING IN BETTER QUALIFIED TEACHERS WHO ARE EXPERT IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO TEACH THESE KIDS. MY CHILDREN STUDY IN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (KBSR PRIMARY) AND THEY COULD TELL ME WHO ARE THEIR BEST TEACHERS.
SO THERE ARE LOTS OF TEACHERS OUT THERE IN THE MARKET, GO AND HUNT THEM. DON’T LOOK AT THE SKIN COLORS. MALAYSIA WILL ACHIEVE ITS GOAL.

The problem in Malaysia is admitting non qualified professional in teaching arena. Simple garbage in garbage out methodology. As such, i propose we look into the root of the problem. Revamp the intake policy of teachers and lecturers, seriously re-train all exisiting teachers and lecturers limited within 2 years (if still not up to par, sack them or transfer to other departments that they may be good at), period.
