I study with great interest your comments.

“please go to the education ministry and get a briefing from them. This is because your educational history of Malaysia is quite juxtaposed. ”

- would be grateful if you could let me know where you think I got it wrong with regards to my “personal opinion on the educational history because I spoke of my personal experience in Chinese schools and not about the historical development of VS.

The ministry is ran by the current administration so you could safely assume from my postings that I do tend to disagree with a lot of their policy so I might not agree with what they say. Plus, I doubt any official would bother to brief me, nobody but a concerned tax payer who contribute to their perks and salary.

“And so was with your facts on economic performance. Go to Finance Minstry. Then your political understanding will be further refined, because the way you see things is quite Malaysian.”

– again, why would anybody in F Ministry would bother. I do see things as Malaysians because I am Malaysian.

By the way, talking to finance ministry people about economic performance may lead me to better understand of their policies and economic agenda. Politics is another area altogether albeit in Malaysia, we operate on a political economics platform.

By the way I have a few words of advice. Wee Tak: please go to the education ministry and get a briefing from them. This is because your educational history of Malaysia is quite juxtaposed. And so was with your facts on economic performance. Go to Finance Minstry. Then your political understanding will be further refined, because the way you see things is quite Malaysian.

O.Mlaysia : try to be more focus and try treating every aspects in its own specific dimension. Then your analitical ability will be further enhanced.

Tailik : You seem to be over reacting or supportive to one particular party. But I didnt say you dont have the right to do so. What I’m trying to say is: be more open-minded. Then you can enjoy the beauty of nation building.

Anyway, I’m a proud person today, since all of you responded to my comment prudently.

let’s play the numbers game, would Malays prefer 30% of a 1 billion economy or 15% of a 15% of a 30 billion economy. If we liberalize our bureaucracy and business polices, the cake will grow bigger. There will be more jobs etc.

30% requirement represent a significant cost of business to foreigners. If they want to invest 100million, they might have to end up owning 70% only and the loss in dividend payments could deter them as well. If we remove this, more foreign investment would come in and more jobs will be created.

30% ownership is a myth. It does not talk about distribution among Malays. Which would you choose?

1) 30% of shares held by a few malays who can afford the capital input, the connections to acquire such equity and earn a living by sitting around taking dividends, from a shrinking pie because foreigners can choose to go to other countries who would not have such rules.

or

2) plenty of jobs created by local and foreign investors. Malays and other Malaysians can earn a salary either as a production worker, supervisor, administration staff, manager and whatever. Other local businesses will benefit with these big factories set up by investors in Malaysia by being their stationery supplier, contractor for odd jobs, providing support services like consultancy, waste disposals and management, bus kilang drivers etc. The government can increase the tax collection hence more money can be channel into welfare, education, healthcare and whatever (no helicopter and submarine, please)

both of you make very good sense but I always believe there are more than 1 way to achieve an aim.

There are 2 issues

national unity and different stream of schools and I do not see how these 2 are on the opposite side of development. I strongly believe national unity can be achieved although we have vernacular school (VS)

VA enhance our competitiveness as a nation. There are lessons, values, ideas, thoughts you can learn only in these schools that I wish I can share with you all….our Chinese VS students can talk the kind of talk with business people from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Local artist like Michael Wong, Victor Wong, Ah Niu, Angelica Lee, Fish Leong, owing to their command of mandarin, has sold millions of albums and won many awards in the chinese language entertainment scene, something that our newspaper do not advertise at all, bar chinese language ones. These should be the joy of the nation. How many of non-chinese ever heard about Michael Wong?

This song won numerous awards in China and Taiwan……

In my school boy days I have been taught to love my country and my fellow Malaysians. Khairi, from personal correspondence with me, can hopefully conclude that I am in no way anti-Malay or anti-Indians. In my life, I have helped them in whatever way I could (e.g. I hired an Indian assistant and surprised my boss. I have never regret my decision for she is good at her job). Chinese VS are known to push their students very hard whereas, no apologies, students in national type school, although are worked hard as well, tend to be under less stress. For parents and students who yearn for hard and competitive training, Chinese VS do give them the challenge.

Please don’t blame VS. If you want mingling, simple. Have more inter-schools activities. Sports, uniform bodies and all must be revamped and broaden to allow people from different schools to mix together. All schools should teach the culture and religin of all races…and stress on mutual respect and acceptance (not tolerance which imply some form of discontent!!!)

Vision school is a good idea. VS and national type schools sitting in a single compound but there are those minor sticky issues like canteen food etc

Orang Malaysia,

If you claim separation by race at school is the root of the problem, then what about UITM? When Tan Seri Khalid raise the possibility of more competition there to raise the quality, the response is anything but positive.

National unity can be achieved if there is the right curriculum in all schools but from what I heard about the sejarah content, bito tata negara lessons are running against common sense.

To have national unity, Malaysians have to forget about racial lines. Painful and significant changes have to be made. It involves a lot of things but removing VS is not the answer. The problems lies elsewhere. We have Utusan Malaysia, Ahmad Ismail, the PKNS union raising voices that can disturb non-Malays. BN practices and policies run on racial lines. Similarly, Chinese employers do not employ as many Indians or Malays as Chinese. Our university intake also raise the problem of discontent, brain and currency drain out of the country.

VS is not the hindrance to national unity. It is the outdated national policies, its long term impact and implementation that got us to where we are today.

“The staff must recognise that PKNS is not a religious body but tasked to manage the business and investment activities of the state.”

No wonder PKNS is a loosing concern.

Polictical changed will dictate national policy.
Put aside Racist & we all as m’sian (Malay, chinese, indian, iban, kadazan dll) compete with d world & achieve what S’por done !

There’s nothing in S’por! not even a drop of water (water supply fr johor) BUT they’ve a clean & corrupt free gomen to take of their rakyat.

1970 RM1.10 : Sin$1.00 BUT now RM2.35 : Sin1.00

Current m’sian per capital income US$5,000 : S’porean per capital income US$25,000

Y ah? Corrupted rejim racist umno got d answer….!
go ask rejim umno…. y ah?

.

Now, which issue are we arguing? schools, policy, or politics?

but abolishment of chinese & indian school will create unity among m’sian? i don see that. look at Indonesia, do d few percent chinese cukup ‘united’ with Indon? ur guest is better than mine….!

disunity & hatred among races was bieng done ‘professionally & systematicaly’ by corrupted rejim racist umno to ‘Devide & Rule’ d nation.

rejim will stay in power to rob, rape & sodomise d economy, wang & khazanah negara legally under their JUNGLE LAW of OSA, PPP Act, Sedition Act & lastly ISA & were supported by rejim ‘korek korek machineries’ lap-dog polis, AG, ACA & judiciary !
rejim will silent off critics, opposition & suara rakyat by using d abv JUNGLE LAW !

rejim lap-dogs will be rewarded naik pangkat paling cepat, dapat Datuk/TanSri/Tun ship, gomen contracs & tanah.

IF PR in power soon then Orang M’sia will benefit, united & live in peace & harmony !

Stop using vernacular schools as an excuse. If anything, these institutions make Malaysians capable of speaking to the billions in China, Taiwan and India. Great opportunity for commerce, business and industry.

Who is dividing the country up with racism? Look elsewhere. Ahmad Ismail, Utusan Malaysia, recently have not been saying nice things….

Civil Servants should be apolitical. They administer and get paid by tax money collected from all voters and from all races.

The reason for their objection can’t hold water. As enigman points out, there could be other issues beneath the protests.

Anyway Madam Low will have a hell of a time getting things done for I feel that the full commitment of all PKNS staff might not be coming (if indeed there was ever full commitment)

Btw this protest on racial grounds contrast starkly with numerous claims that Malays are polite, tolerant and friendly. I hope this claim still stands but I cannot for the world reconcile this claim with the protest. The last I check, most of the economic top posts like Finance Minister, Bank Negara Governor, Bursa Head, Permodalan Nasional Berhad Honcho etc are still held by bumiputra. What’s the worry? The real worry is the lost of talent pool that translate into non-development and progress of the nation.

How far must one Human learn from it provocative destruction in mankind.

We don’t believe; in the simple of manners of appointment also cause the dilution of commotion. To all religious people who live by the spirit of Allah and HIS mercy stir up no cause, the adversary is working within. Our spiritual adversary is bombarding our principality in Allah.

Jealousy.
Feeling lose out.
Racist dominion.
Cultural supremacy.
Egoism backfire
Personal glory and gain afflicted.
Revenge
Chauvinism
And etc.

Is this development is from Allah? No I believe it is from the Satan itself.

“Thus the state had asked Low to defer her retirement by a year until a suitable bumiputera successor was found, he had said.” as quoted.

We truly disagreed with the statement “bumiputera successor”. As a mere Malaysian for the “Bangsa Malaysia” we should focus on the manifesto of the Malaysian gain rather than a racist sentimental ignition. “Suitable candidate” will be applicable in this manner of speech and intend.

How far can be able to drive the prosperity of Malaysia to a higher peak and success if we continue with our race war development, whereby we can focus on Malaysia competitiveness on a global and trade balances profit. Easing the suffering of poverty in Malaysia and moving on to life with a blended and multi-cultural interaction with greater harmony package. Dwelling and reside in love and reverently understand each other needs and cultural requirements.

Why we “human” that is the basis of our origin ethnic from before the wisdom of man corrupt us and divide us in the iniquity of man deforming us to “Malay”, “Chinese” , “Indian”, and “Others”.

In summary, “we are no less than animals in the eyes of God, but it is us as in HIS image that makes us special” – Ventura

So let us be special in HIS sight by practicing humanity in HIS mercy.

Amin!

1. in human history, we always found traitors and betrayors;
2. there are partners in sorrow and partners in happiness, but partners in sorrow not so many;
3. as for bangsa Malaysia: it will be a bangsa that have no legends, myth, fables, or ethos since it is being born out of so called necessity, or justified;
4. Wah! professionals do not get involve in corrupt activities? I dont buy that… because professionals are also human. Worst still, professionals from malaysia. They womanise, booze, give hampers, etc.etc., which is part of their professional ethiquettes. They only matters… money.

Cheriooo.
