Why are Malaysians not sufficiently focused on regaining world-rank status or on the future?
Posted by Kit in Education, Malaysian Dream on Sunday, 10 December 2023
Malaysia’s conspicuous absence in two lists – Apolitical’s 100 most influential people in Climate Policy 2022/2023 and TIME magazine 100 most influential climate leaders in Business for 2023 — are indications that the country is not sufficiently reversing course in the national decline in the last quarter of a century to rise up again as a great world-class nation.
Time to end the abuses and deviations of NEP
I commend the Royal Education Award winner in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) Nahvin Muthusamy for speaking about the restoration of meritocracy in the education system, for it is time that we end the abuses and deviations in the education system as we do not want a local university to award PhD to someone who is totally media illiterate, and cannot distinguish between right from wrong or lies and fake news from truth and fact to enter Parliament to help Malaysia end up as a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state.
NEP has been “Mastura-ised” and producing unthinking robots who purvey lies, falsehoods, fake news and hate speech instead of producing scholars of excellence
Two things happened in this month which will decide whether we are in the trajectory towards a failed, divided, and kleptocratic state or whether we can reverse the national decline in the last few decades to rise up again to become a great world-class nation, namely: the call by the Royal Education Award recipient Nahvin Muthusamy for meritocracy in education and the protection of minorities in his award acceptance speech and the “Mastura-isation” of the New Economic Policy (NEP) producing unthinking robots and even Members of Parliament who purvey lies, falsehoods, fake news, and hate speech instead of producing scholars of excellence.
Malaysia cannot reverse the national decline and become a great world-class nation if “media illiterates” could be elected MPs or have doctorates conferred on them by local universities
Yesterday, I asked the question whether it is possible to reverse the national decline to become a great world-class nation.
Siti Mastura fiasco highlights the gravity of Malaysia’s national decline in three important ways
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, yesterday expressed confidence that Malaysia can emerge as a great nation within the next two or three years through a collaborative approach involving all parties, including civil servants.
Voters in the six states in August should vote for the future to make Malaysia world champions again, like making University of Malaya among the 50 best universities in the world, instead of falling for the lies and hate speech setting one race or religion against another

Malaysia does not want to be another Singapore but better than the island republic, as Malaysia is better positioned to leverage on the best values and virtues of four great civilisations to build a new international civilisation for the world
On the way to Subang Airport, I passed a huge billboard advertising that Monash University has been ranked No. 44 in the Times Higher Education World Universities Rankings 2023, which set me thinking about the ranking of Malaysian universities.
Problem of two Form Five students who ranted on SPM paper should be handled as a school problem, not a police matter
I agree that it was heavy-handed to treat the problem of the two Form Five students who ranted on the SPM history paper in a viral video with obscene remarks as a police problem when it should be treated as a school problem.
Call on Education Ministry Disciplinary Board not to take any disciplinary action against teacher Cikgu Fadli but to find a mechanism where views on school syllabus and heavy school bag issues could be aired and resolved
I call on the Education Ministry Disciplinary Board not to take any disciplinary action against teacher Mohd Fadli Mohd Salleh, better known as Cikgu Fadli, for being vocal about school syllabus and heavy school bag issues, but to find a mechanism where such views could be aired and resolved.
The Education Ministry Disciplinary Board meeting tomorrow should explore the possibility of developing such a mechanism.

Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) would have been recognised if Pakatan Harapan government had governed for five years as was its mandate instead of being toppled in 22 months by the Sheraton Move conspiracy
The United Examination Certificate (UEC) would have been recognised if the Pakatan Harapan government had governed for five years as was its mandate instead of being toppled in 22 months by the Sheraton Move conspiracy.
At the DAP national retreat held in early 2019 attended by DAP leaders and Members of Parliament, the then Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad was asked this question and his answer gave confidence that the UEC would be recognised before the conclusion of the five-year government of Pakatan Harapan.

Posted by Kit in Education, Parliament on Monday, 13 June 2022
The Cabinet at its meeting on Wednesday should resolve to make the July/August meeting of Parliament a historic “Reform Parliament”.
It should instruct and empower the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar to make the 14-day meeting of Parliament from July 18 to August 4, 2022 a historic Reform Parliament by taking a number of measures.

Higher Education Minister, Noraini Ahmad should explain what has been done to upgrade the quality of the more than 2,500 ”kangkong professors” as revealed by Tun Arshad Ayub last year
The Higher Education Minister, Noraini Ahmad should explain what has been done to upgrade the quality of the more than 2,500 “kangkong professors” as revealed by Tun Arshad Ayub last year.
Tun Arshad, 93, is one of few Malaysians conferred a Tun-ship without a political background, being a Chief Justice or holder of high public office, was founding director of Institut Teknologi Mara (ITM) from 1966-1975 before it was elevated to university status as Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM).

Malaysia should rectify the wrong direction we have taken in the last half-a-century and return to the nation-building principles as agreed by the nation’s founding fathers in the Malaysian Constitution and Rukun Negara if we are not to end up as a failed state
Posted by Kit in Education, nation building on Tuesday, 31 May 2022
The decision of the High Court of Kota Bharu on Sunday to dismiss the lawsuit by Ikatan Guru-Guru Muslimin Malaysia (I-Guru) seeking to declare Chinese and Tamil primary schools unconstitutional in Malaysia, reaffirming the decision of the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on December last year, should be a signal that Malaysia should rectify the wrong direction we have taken in the last half-a-century and return to the nation-building principles as agreed by the nation’s founding fathers in the Malaysian Constitution and Rukun Negara if we are not to end up as a failed state.
The first three Prime Ministers Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Razak and Tun Hussein, would have been shocked that the nation had deviated from the founding nation-building principles to the extent that there are Ministers in the Cabinet who do not accept the Rukun Negara principles and there are leaders who are proud that Malaysia is notorious in the world as a kleptocracy.

Allowing teachers and Kemas staff to be involved in politics is not to raise educational standards but to win the war between the ‘ministers’ cluster’ and the ‘court cluster’ in UMNO
Yesterday, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri announced that with instant effect, all school teachers and Kemas staff nationwide are allowed to get involved in politics
This is a decision that was taken not to raise educational standards but to win the war between the ‘ministers’ cluster’ and the ‘court cluster’ in UMNO.

#kerajaangagal188 – Cabinet tomorrow should extend by another two days the five-day Parliament special meeting beginning on Monday to allow the Education Minister and Higher Education Minister to make their Ministerial statements
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Education, Parliament on Tuesday, 20 July 2021
The Cabinet meeting tomorrow should extend by another two days the five-day Parliament special meeting beginning on Monday to allow the Education Minister Radzi Jidin and the Higher Education Minister Noraini Ahmad to make their Ministerial statements about the future of education and higher education under the Covid-19 pandemic.
To leave out education and higher education ministers responsible for the core issues in the Covid-19 pandemic from making Ministerial statements followed by debates by Members of Parliament is a major mistake and omission, for it shows that the Cabinet is not aware of the importance of education and higher education for the future of Malaysia!

The Higher Education Minister, Noraini Ahmad should put an immediate stop to the exclusion and discrimination against students with disabilities from tertiary education.
It is most shocking that a student with 9As was denied the chance to pursue her tertiary education at a local public university due to her physical disability.

#kerajaangagal48 – Has Muhyiddin forgotten his objective nine years ago when he was Education Minister for Malaysia become a “wonder nation”?

Has the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin forgotten his objective nine years ago when he was Education Minister for Malaysia to become a “wonder nation”?
Otherwise, why was there no reference to this objective in his message in conjunction with the 50th Teachers’ Day celebration yesterday?
#kerajaangagal36 – I would have suggested that Form V student Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam should be nominated Senator to articulate the voice of youths in Senate if this is not barred by the Malaysian Constitution which requires a Senator to be at least 30 years old
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
I would have suggested that Form V student Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam should be nominated Senator to articulate the voice of youths in Senate if this is not barred by the Malaysian Constitution which requires a Senator to be at least 30 years old.
The Malaysian Constitution in this regard needs to be amended to keep abreast with changing times but this is another story.
It is indeed shocking that there are plans afoot to expel Ain Husniza from her school, SMK Puncak Alam. If this is allowed, it would be to the infamy and ignominy of the Education Minister, Radzi Jidin and the Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin. Read the rest of this entry »
#kerajaangagal33 – Why Education Minister Radzi Jidin unable to provide leadership to ensure schools a safe place instead of allowing the issues of period spot checks and complaints about lewd jokes by teachers in class to roil the country for nearly three weeks?
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
Yesterday, Malaysia diving queen and two-time Olympic medallist Pandelela Rinong endorsed 17-year-old Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam’s call to make schools a safer place, and offered encouragement for the Form 5 student to keep on speaking up.
She said it was just like when she was called DIVA when she was trying to #makesportasaferplace. Read the rest of this entry »
