In other countries, education policy is molded by the highly qualified educationists. Much research is done before implementing it. But here Malaysia, the education system is formulated by Umno, who are the least qualified to do it. No wonder it is going down the drain.
The education standard of our southern neighbour, Singapore is second to none! Learn from them. Copy wholesale their syllabi and use it here. I am sure they are willing to allow us to do it simply imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Overnight, we are at par with them!
Obviously we are making it wrong on something that had been correct. Why is it so?
There are many politically privileged people trying to turn local education institutions into inferior grade, so those can afford i.e. themselves can train their children overseas and come back be more superior than others. Is it not the case?
This is happening as the politicians like to exploit the education issues in their hidden agenda.
I wonder how do they muster all the resources and human capital to nurture our young minds to become professionals and future leaders. And what is the credibility and credential of the lecturers is going to hire.
It is a problem of meritocracy where officials are more concern about implementing policy to look good, rather than achieving real change to serve their final customers - the students.
I won't even be surprised if the politicians start blaming Chinese parents after the mother tongue is offered, and imply bias and racism.
I used to play a game called "World Game" before……….
Basically different countries have to trade or exchange goods to fulfill each other needs. But the end of game, although the world total resources are enough, we never achieve our goals at the country level because of self-interest.
Just as the issue here in teaching mother tongue in national schools. The keyword is resource allocation!
The irony is while we want teachers to teach "Mandarin" in national schools, but we don't even recognise those who graduated from Taiwanese university to teach.
That is why we have shortage! Aren't they are better equipped to teach since they come back from Chinese-speaking universities.
Still remember the news of a China-trained Malaysian medical graduate who can't have his medical degree recognised by Malaysia. Come on - what is Malaysian health standard compared to Japanese one! Since when we decide not to recognise medical degree from the advanced countries. What are their levels?
They have superb health insurance system covering every citizen; One out of five citizen is 65 years and above (life expectancy); The medical treatment using stem cells technology is already here (now there is even better technology than by-pass the clogged arteries);
Where are we? Still our Malaysia is arguing whether to recognise their degree!
My message is - We must think a bigger picture and streamline our system for betterment of our society!
That is your job, all the ministers and the bureaucrats! People's interest must come first!
Everybody can have fancy ideas, but whether they are workable and eventually benefit our students, lie in your planning and implementation!
They will never change. The habit of instilling false hope in the minds of Malaysians will continue among government circles. It is up to us to conscientious them more and more, until Malaysian society gets the clearer and bigger picture.
Well, only time will tell.
Malaysia is definitely going the way of Fiji and Burma in due course.
No willingness to open up politically and culturally, no urgency to excel and no hunger pang on the part of malays, Malaysia I reckon may take many generations to wear out like Burmese, who is very much the same as the malay genetically and culturally.
"As these public institutions are essentially malays, they also bring shame and dishonor to own race."
Much as I would like to refrain from saying this but it is a fact that the malays are viewed in poor light (to put it mildly) by the general non-malay population.
The behavior of their political masters and the civil servants gives credence to this view.
How sad, the race that claims to own this land, the race that claims to be defenders of its religion, is contributing immensely to its degeneration and eventual destruction.
The malays are viewed in a poor light not only by the non-malays but by the malays themselves.
And this is a fact. See how cocky and arrogant the moron from Jerai is. He talks as if he owns the Malaysia country when in fact he is just a water boy running errands for his Umno masters.
Most of them cannot argue their points and when push comes to shove would draw their parang or keris for effect. How naive.
Good luck all Malaysians!
I am a person who has never really liked to get involved in politics but I do feel that one must pay attention to the game as it does dictate the way we Malaysians live.
I work in the field of human resources and I know that a university degree does not help one perform. The academic ballot only opens the door for interviews and opportunities. At the end of the day, the individual has to perform.
Employers are profit-oriented. They above all, must be objective and rational.
Today, the competitive business environment and discriminatory government policies in Malaysia make it deadly not to focus on results, even for a short period.
Not only does the NEP provide a disincentive for market-demanded work and enterprise for the malays, it causes the non-malays to distrust the system and look for short-term gains rather than work for long-term gains.
Graduates do not develop long-term market-oriented skills and goals, they look at short-term pay, do not take any risks and avoid responsibilities and challenges.
Generally, the better their education, the less the problems.
We cannot be in business for social causes. It is bad enough that the government has wrong policies that we have to cope with.
It has already been stated many times, that the higher proportion of unemployed malays is mainly due to the incompatibility of skills possessed by them and those actually required by employers.
How can you force job market demands to change to suit another race quota system?
Anyway, we already have enough of these quotas in the education, government civil service, housing and other sectors. The whole idea is to try to move away from this quota system, not add to it.
The key thing is to be adaptable and move with the times. Many unemployed graduates are static and complacent - that is the real problem.
Employers, be they from the private or public sector, need to hire candidates on merit to provide superior service and to compete effectively in the increasingly global marketplace, and 'churning out better graduates' would certainly help.
While the quantity of graduates continues an upward trend, the same cannot be said of their quality - lowering of entrance qualification requirements coupled with inadequate teaching staff have produced graduates of insufficient quality.
Furthermore, many non-teaching obligations have caused lecturers and teachers to lose focus and therefore be unable to provide quality teaching.
To speed up the process of creating qualified graduates will mean upgrading Malaysia education at all levels. From young, students should be exposed to a more holistic and critical education.
The current bias towards science and math and the craze regarding examinations have created a generation of bookworms who memorise rather than understand.
Universities can choose to concentrate in certain disciplines to provide depth and quality, which in turn will attract good students from the region to study those disciplines. These local universities will then become universities of choice.
Teaching awards, better pay and remuneration schemes and a less non-teaching workload will not only inspire teachers to provide better a higher standard of education, but will also attract intelligent and talented people to the teaching profession.
We believe that with the active participation from students and teachers, constant reviewing and monitoring efforts by the government and with the foresight of our industries and the support of the general public, we come together to create a synergy that will inevitably improve our Malaysia education system.
Our Malaysia ministers are all poorly educated. They are there not because of merit. If it is based on merit the whole lot including the prime minister would have to go. Our ministers are all duds.
With regards to the last report drama, the words uttered by the Badruddin just demonstrate the sad state of affairs with regards to how the Umno looks upon non-Muslims.
It is no enigma the views or scepticism that non-Muslims face. It is disappointing to realise that the people we voted for as Malaysians to represent our interests politically, are actually out there to ruin us. Makes us wonder, do we really need people like Badruddin who cause more harm than good.
I am not here to debate on the right or wrong of what opposition leader Lim Kit Siang said. Regardless of what it was, everyone is entitled to their opinion. And it can be safely said that Lim voiced out the opinions of many Malaysians. Not just his.
And I would like to ask on what authority did Badruddin tell those who don't like the idea of Malaysia as an Islamic state to leave the country? He has gone beyond the line in displaying immaturity that the Dewan has been blossoming with of late.
As a multicultural country, we would expect a certain amount of respect from everyone regardless of race. I would like to bring to Badruddin attention that Malaysia wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for both the non-Muslims and Muslims alike.
It would be better to say that Malaysia wouldn't be where it is if it wasn't for the people that constitute the whole of Malaysia. It would do well to have a certain amount of 'quality control' for our ministers so that they would understand that Malaysia is a multicultural country and everyone deserves to be treated with respect - not just the rich and influential.
It is a sad outlook for Malaysia as many of my peer are just waiting to get out of this country. And they are the well-educated people that Malaysia could really use. And to think that they were once complaining of brain drain.
The education system which has become more communal despite its supposed non-ethnic and non-religious status is the main reason for the growing division between the races.
Communal ties are at their most delicate in nearly four decades. It is terrifying to realise how easily racial and religious sentiments can be aroused by the powers-that-be for political advantage.
Initially, we had all races studying together in one class but then they were segregated by race for the purpose of religious and moral classes resulting in students of same race grouping together, but under the same roof. Today we have taken another backward step with each race studying in their own vernacular schools under separate roofs and rarely do they ever come together.
We need to revamp the education system to return it to its original status and aspiration of unifying the races through the national schools. Pupils of all races must be placed in one class so that they can interact freely with one another. Emphasis on their common identities rather than their differences should be encouraged.
There should also be a racially balanced mix of teachers as well in all our national schools. It is common knowledge that if there is diversity in the same environment then there will be more tolerance and goodwill.
We need politicians who are true national leaders and not ethnic champions. In the 1960s, every citizen looked up to politicians as Malaysian leaders but now we consider them as leaders of either the Malays, Indians or Chinese. Even the prime minister, who should be the leader of all races, is now seen as the leader of the malays only.
If we want to survive in this globalised world, we Malaysians - regardless of race - must unite and pool our resources and expertise so as to remain competitive.
We yearn for the day when Malaysians will share a single identity, but gauging by present developments in the country, this is fast eluding us. Our aspiration for a united Malaysia is not being appreciated by the present generation of leaders who are taking over the reins of power.
I am a 10th generation Chinese in Malaysia and my ancestors and I have known only Malaysia as our home.
And yet everyday, I hear malays calling me 'pendatang' and unpatriotic. I find this totally unacceptable because I am a law-abiding citizen who pays my taxes diligently. Citizens should not be treated differently based on race.
Similarly, if an ethnic Chinese student has performed well, he should be awarded scholarship just as an ethnic Malay student who has performed equally well is awarded one. Is it too difficult to understand that not all Chinese are rich and not all malays are poor?
If a malay feels that he has the right to call me 'pendatang' and tell me to migrate because he feels his ancestors have been here long enough, by the same logic, I too have the same right to do that to him.
Orang Asli is the general name given to different groups of indigenous people of this land. Take the Negrito, for instance. They are definitely not the same as the malays. The languages of the Negrito and Senoi are related to the indigenous languages of Burma, Indochina and Thailand.
The only group of Orang Asli which shares similarities with those whom we know as the malays of today are the Proto-malays, who had arrived at this land much later than the Negrito and Senoi.
Those whom we know as malays today are Deutro-malays who arrived even later. Thus, malays are also outsiders who migrated to this land just like the non-malays. The only difference is the malays migrated earlier.
However, this sweeping statement that all malays and Orang Asli are one and the same cannot stand since only a minority of Orang Asli have become Muslims and there are even fewer who have fulfilled all three constitutional requirements.
I have suggested in the past that Chinese Malaysians should just gather their wealth and leave Malaysia and let malays them become backwards.
Singapore is desperately looking for skilled foreign workers due to dwindling birthrates. Many Indians are working over there. Seriously Chinese Malaysians should look into moving to Singapore.
I am sure China can make good use of the wealth of Chinese Malaysians. Is there any policy the China government have enacted to encourage overseas Chinese to come back and make China their home once again?
That will teach the Malaysians a lesson. Their economy will crumble and will put them back 30 years.
Honestly, I have lost all hope in this country! It is beyond redemption as it has already sunk into 'the abyss'.
It is a place to exist but not to live.
That is why I never celebrate national day and I never speak well of the country and this government.
The civil service is a refuge for the lazy. There is no commitment nor dedication.
Seems like Malaysia do not require or value highly skilled workers but prefer unskilled labours especially those from Indonesia.
Maybe it is all about social engineering or to be blunt racial/religious discrimination. The obvious is staring straight in your face but can you see it!
The objective is clearly to uphold the supremacy of one particular community oblivious to the globalized competition among nations. No wonder, Malaysia is beginning to lack behind other nations.
That favoured community stands little chance to compete in the global market. The main beneficiaries are few with ill-gotten wealth, in power, who use such rhetoric policy to gain support from this majority community.
In contrast to developed nations, where citizens of all colour belong to the nation. Where ethnicity and religious followers are groups within the community with diverse cultural background. Where the marginalized and the poor are the favoured group to be singled out for deserving handouts and support.
How can the ruling elite be so blind? Could it be because of their strong faith in their religion, hence blind to the commonsense, fair play and reality?
If in America, a superpower nation with its intelligent society still able to vote a dummy for a 2nd term, then what more Malaysia? The general public is naive and uninformed. They are easily sweet-talked for their votes.
Unless we are going undergoing tremendous physical torment (e.g. civil war), the public will still go with the majority and its sugarcoated promises.
Doing the right thing in Malaysia is extremely difficult because of the different perception by different races. This is aggravated by the limited interaction between the youths of different races today.
The fact that students do score a CGPA of 4.0 but do not get the course of their choice further deepen the resentment and strengthen the perception. It will be like opening Pandora's box. To confirm our worst fears would be disastrous for the country.
wow...you guys are...
...wow.
