Scrap your bloody head bald first before you start to think rationally. Racial polarisation in this country is not just caused by a one-medium instruction schooling system but the inequalities, manipulations and abuses brought about by the divisive NEP. When the race is hardly supreme in any sphere why are you so insistence about Malay supremacy. It's only an illusion that blinds you from the path of reality and true existence. No wonder UMNO is driving the Malays to live in a dream world filled with deluded thoughts.

Dear All,

Are you all accepting Mukriz's assumption/assertion that availability of vernacular school systems is the cause of racial polarisation?

Are you all accepting Mukriz's assertion that with a single school system , racial polarisation will disappear?

Surely, you are all more smarter than that!!!!!!!!!!

Who and what is the cause of racial polarisation????????

Even if a single school system is agreed by all to be implemented, then perhaps it may be accepted by many people if everybody including the rich and previleged (including the children of politicians and tycoons)is compelled to attend the single school system without exceptions.

Nobody should be allowed to send their children overseas to study until they have completed at least Form 5 locally.

The proposal deserves consideration and not brush aside because it comes from 'little Mahathir'. I remembered reading a piece on this a few months back propounding the merits of a single school system. We have at least 4 educational systems in operation in Malaysia, if we include international schools which now accepts locals quite readily. If Chinese school system is better, then adopt or adapt it for the national curriculum. There will be immense resistance and it will be a tough sale. But look at Singapore.

creed, race and religion was never an issue when you put children together. it is always the politicians who seemed trumped up the issues. furthermore, teachers too have to be appropriately trained to educate all on cultural differentiations to the young minds and not divide them.

it should not be limited to just primary and secondary schools. what then when these students leave school and faced with the daunting task of securing a university placement because of the quota system still in place.

MARA too have to be opened to all malaysians. one can't expect compliance if the entire system only resolves one aspect of the process but failed terribly when it comes to the final most critical future undertakings.

look at the school books bag... it's forced to get bigger every years, try the weights...

the whole mind set of the education is wrong... we send our kids to school to learn and UNDERSTAND but all this kids learn was knowing only.

our teachers teaching really in doubts, are their own mindset really makes teaching understandable or just regardless they have qualification to be a teacher where he/she read in front and the pupils read at the back of the class.

i came across lots of pupil and asked they to read a word, 10 out of 10 can read but spell it, that very good. but when come to when or how to use the words... 9 out of 10 do not understand.

In drumming up this issue, this Putra a/l Mahatail thinks that he will get extra mileage in the popularity contest against his opponents. He forgot the quality he has as compared to the father. Getting elected is one thing, sustaining through the who of the power game is beyond his capability. Has anyone forgotten how he wetted his pants in a Prai hotel for an attempt pressured by his father to trying to force Pak Lah to abdicate? So much so that instead of using his mouth, he had to use an "open letter" to calling Pak Lah's abdication. I wonder who actually wrote that letter.

This double-tongued Mukhriz politician said 'there is a need for induce unity' and then he said non-malay must understand the concept of 'ketuanan melayu.'

'Ketuanan Melayu' is the ANTITHESIS of racial unity...

'Ketuanan Melayu is obscenely offensive to any rational and logical mind that one ethnic group should ARROGANTLY and SELF-CONCEITEDLY claim supremacy over other ethnic groups... That was the reason for atrocity under Nazism!

It is plain stupidity and ignorance of the worst sort trying to induce unity among different ethnic groups while at the same time insisting on 'ketuanan Melayu.' Might as well trying to mix oil and water, or perhaps DAP and UNMO!

And why is there a lack of national unity? Blatant discrimination in education, business, employment in the public service, justice, religion, etc based on RACE.

Is it the schooling system - learning multiple languages in schools - that caused disunity? Just a smoke screen concocted by the present bankrupt BN administration. The vast majority of schools are national schools, attended by all races - what have they done to unite the pupils there? Even in national schools, the non-Malays are openly discriminated... and the victim of discrimination are keenly aware. How to unite those children that are keenly aware of the discrimination because of their race?

ONLY justice and equality can unite the people.
Of course the Malay can have Islam as the national religion, they can have their Sultans and the Agongship. But everything else, let their be equality for all the citizens of this land.

Why don't the Malays ever thought of the great advantages of learning some English and Chinese, and perhaps some Tamil too? The world is so wide... and the children of this land are very capable children... get them to learn three languages, and they grow up possessing working knowledge of three languages...

But many Malay will likely only know enough Malay to be fit for public service.

He said over 99% of countries in the world practised a single school system.

I bet he plugged this out of the air.

Many countries with excellent educational achievements had always encouraged independent schools. These schools provided the much needed "genetic diversity" so vital to the dynamism of society. Singapore had studied many educational systems in the world and concluded that diversity and not uniformity that will enhance and boost the competitive edge of her people.

This statement by mukhriz is a lot of hot air without any careful thought to what he had said. His purpose was to get publicity for the upcoming party election.

He expressed hope that leaders of Barisan Nasional component parties would not take his suggestion in a negative light as it was only meant as a suggestion to resolve, once and for all, the problem of racial polarisation affecting the citizenry.

The cause of the country's racial polarisation is not due to the educational system. Kids do not hate or despise another because they are of a different race. Only adults do and they train their children to behave in similar manner.

Looking back the country is deeply divided along racial and religious grounds because UMNO had endeavoured, over the years to sustain these divisions so that it could remain in power.

When you do not know the cause of the problem, all solutions compound the problem.

“If they reject this suggestion, then they should explain why they are against it. How is it possible for them on one hand to talk about unity and question Malay rights, while on the other hand still insist on having a different school system for their race?

The onus of proof lies with the proposer. You have to prove that what you say will lead to racial harmony and back it up with facts, figures and objective studies.

“If you want equal rights then you cannot have a different school sistem. You cannot have your cake and eat it too,” he added.

Non-sequitur ! What has equal rights to do with different school system ?

Did Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir suggest that vernacular schools be abolished? If so, what did he mean when he used the term "vernacular schools". If he had studied English and knew how to use English, then he could not meant Chinese or Tamil schools. Why?

The term "verna" originates in Latin and it means a slave born in the master's house. Vernacular language means "a language native to a region or country rather than a literary, cultured or foreign language".(Merriam Webster Dictionary). It also means vulgar tongue of the masses. (hyperdictionary)

The whole world knows that Chinese came from China and Tamil came from India and Sri Lanka. They are definitely not native to Malaysia to be qualified as vernacular language of Malaysia. They have more than 3,000 year history each and have well developed writing, grammar, epics, philosophy, science and mathematics and fine arts recorded in them. No right thinking human on earth would say that they are vernacular languages in any sense of the word. They are highly cultured and established languages.

What about Malay? Only a few politicised local Malays claim that they are native while the rest of the world knows that Malay too did not originate in Malaysia and is found in Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Brunei and parts of Indonesia. On the other hand, Malay does not appear to have had its own alphabet. In the olden days it used Indian writing and then later switched to Arabic and then to Roman writing all in matter of a few centuries It is a also a language of the masses. So, you decide if Malay is a vernacular language. If you say Malay is indeed a vernacular language, then does Datuk Mukhriz wants to do away with teaching in Malay?

Moreover, Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir could not be asking for abolishing Tamil schools that teach a language which is ancestoral to Malayalam that in turn runs in his family blood. One would have thought he might be sensitive and would care a little about his personal history and the ways of his ancestors,

Is he then calling for abolishing the teaching of true native languages of Malaysia such as those of Orang Asli, Kadazan and Dayak? if so, that would be bad, really bad. If they do not teach these native languages in Malaysia, where else can they go to? All these native languages will die needlessly.

Please Datuk Mukriz. You have a moral and legal duty to protect your ancestoral language. You have a moral and legal duty to protect all languages of Malaysia. If not, you cannot hope to become a respected true leader of Malaysia but perhaps be spurned as another racist dictator that the world would soon like to forget.

Be a creator as a true leader, embrace all people as your brethren that you would care for and the world would love you for that. If you are English educated, then there are many books that can you could read on how to become a good leader. If you care to learn Malayalam, perhaps you have already done that, you would find that there are many good books in Malayalam too on leadership.

2) They be allowed to operate if they can sustain themselves by private funding. (We cannot ban them).

3) Sufficient time (1 hr a day) is scheduled in the education system for students to learn their mother language.

I will support this.
Apart from being one of the factors to enhance unity and understanding of other races among the children, it also will increase and better prepare them to face the International / Boder-less world.

And if u say about there 3,000 B.C fact..well is not fact. Is a theory..take off ur ego guys..

and my question will be, where is Kadazan and Iban came from?..is really original from this archipelago?..in fact most of Bumis have similar pronouns and language..can we say they are in same group that move from taiwan?..

Or u cant say anything cos no body in this forum have state anything about other bumis rather than talk about Malay origin?..

tunggu suapkah?..

I AGREE - but must get rid of all language based schools, religious based school, double examination system(matriculation and STPM), tupes of schools with special interest( hostel, military, etc).

Make it one national type school and university where only quality matters for bangsa malaysia. I sokong penuh.

the way you wrote, you did not even know what you are talking about, it was obvious you felt agigated like those UMNO people who got worked up when people started saying Malay are also PENDATANG, not different from Indian or Chinese.

Wanita Gerakan Chief was damn right on what she said, so the Malay felt not comfortable when the truth are told, and kadazan, Iban, Dayak and the Orang Asli who has the legitimate rights to whatever those Malay are enjoying now should be the rightful owners.

I read somewhere some stupid Malay organisation is trying to get that MCA to pay $2m for compensation on citizen, what make the Malay think that they are the one who gave the chinese and Indian citizenship?

you mean those Indo from Indonesia who come to Malaysia only last month can get citizenship for free and enjoy all the bumi rights, if there is such thing called bumi right while there are chinese who have been in Malaysia for so many centuries can not even get PR?

Oh, why UMNO now talk about Malay Rights and NOT BUMI RIGHTS like it used to be? because they realise they are not BUMI in this Malaysia, so they change the word to MALAY RIGHTS instead of BUMI RIGHTS.

you can check all these change of words after they realise they are in fact PENDATANG, haram or not haram is up to you to judge
