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!

#kerajaangagal132 – Noraini Ahmad, Higher Education Minister should put an immediate stop to the exclusion and discrimination against students with disabilities from tertiary education

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
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”?
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday, 17 May 2021
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
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 »
#kerajaangagal21 – Education Minister should end the denial syndrome over period spot checks and teachers making rape jokes and should appoint officers to launch a campaign to wipe out such practices in schools
Malaysiakini has submitted names of 15 schools where female students were subjected to period spot checks to prove they were menstruating, while a few NGOs have called on students and teachers to stage a walkout of class on May 6 or 7 to demand school reforms over the issue of a teacher making rape jokes to students.
I agree with Saiful Nizam Ab Wahab, the father of a 17-year-old teen, Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam, who exposed a teacher for making a rape joke to students, who doubted that a walkout by teachers and students to protest sexual harassment in schools is the best way of protest.

Saiful Nizam should be an example for all Malaysians – firm on what is right and wrong but forgiving when mistakes are admitted
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
Saiful Nizam Ab Wahad should be example for all Malaysians – firm on what is right and wrong but forgiving when mistakes are admitted,
Saiful is the father 17-year-old Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam who had exposed her male teacher for allegedly making lewd jokes in class, and later, she received an audio recording of one of her male schoolmates threatening to rape her, which was originally sent to a separate group chat.
The Form 5 student who made a rape threat against her has apologised for his remarks. Read the rest of this entry »
#kerajaangagal8 — Malaysia’s failure to be a “wonder nation” as proclaimed by Muhyiddin in 2012
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
When Muhyiddin Yassin was the Education Minister at the beginning of the last decade, he launched the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 in September 2012 for Malaysia to become a “wonder nation” and make the quantum jump from the bottom third to top third of 2021 PISA (Programme for International Assessment) tests of OECD.
But this had been a dismal failure, for instead of leaping into the top third of the PISA tests, Malaysia’s 2018 PISA results had been worse than the 2015 PISA results in all the three subjects of maths, science and reading and we are still far from the top third among the 80 PISA participating countries.

Second example of #kerajaangagal — Batu Pahat school segregating students for co-curricular activities based on race and gender

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
Yesterday, I called on the Health Minister, Adham Baba, to stop his game of semantics and focus on checking the rise in the daily increase of Covid-19 cases and bring the third Covid-19 wave down to double-digit figures or resign!
Yesterday was the fourth day in a row where the daily increase of new Covid-19 breached the 2,000-mark, with 2,195 new Covid-19 cases, following daily increases of 2,148, 2,551 and 2,331 new cases the previous three days. The cumulative total of Covid-19 cases is 375,054.

How can we rekindle and re-motivate the hope and inspiration in the Malaysian Dream for the country to be a world-class great nation by ensuring that the 15th General Election to fulfil the high but dashed hopes of the 14th General Election for reform and salvation?
Posted by Kit in Economics, Education, Muhyiddin Yassin, PH Government on Sunday, 4 April 2021
Since the launching of the Theatre Impian in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur last Sunday, I have been waking up at 3 am, 4 am or 5 am with the question – how can we rekindle, re-inspire, re-energize and re-motivate hope and inspiration in the Malaysian Dream for the country to be a world-class great nation by ensuring that the 15th General Election fulfil the high but dashed hopes of the 14th General Election for reform and salvation?
How do we restore the hope and the inspiration in the 14th General Election when Malaysians at home and abroad made the superhuman effort to ensure that their every vote counted and stood tall in the world by performing the political miracle of effecting a peaceful and democratic transition of power for the first time in six decades?

Malaysia has descended into a hypo-kakistocracy (hypocrisy-kakistocracy) with the statement by Muhyiddin that he had advised UMNO Ministers not to quit
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
Malaysia has descended into a hypo-kakistocracy (hypocrisy-kakistocracy) with the statement by the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, that he had advised UMNO Ministers not to quit.
Muhyiddin said he had advised the UMNO Ministers to remain in the Cabinet to take into account the people’s interest and the country.
Muhyiddin is being quite hypocritical, when what he really meant was that the UMNO Ministers should remain to take into account Muhyiddin’s interest and survival and not that of the country. Read the rest of this entry »
