the problem of non-Malays misunderstanding the concept of "Ketuanan Melayu," or Malay Supremacy, which has become a source of tension between Malays and non-Malays.

The problem of Malays not understanding the concept of Muhibbah is that all Malays should go to vernacular schools instead.

As long as you call it Malay Supremacy, there is nothing to misunderstand. The term is self explanatory. It means that the Malay race is supreme, i.e., better than the rest of us. If that's not what you mean, then call it something else. Is it easier to call it something else or to abolish a major institution? Mukhriz is just doing himself a favor to win an election.

Once an educationist mentioned... the school system divides and creates a major identity issue to forge a Bangsa Malaysia. After 6 years in a mono cultural environment these students are asked to integrate as one.

We fail to observe Thailand, Indonesia even Vietnam all these nations have broken barriers that are race based and stand tall as Thai, Indonesian or Vietnamese.. However when we are overseas we have the sticky start to explain how we are Malaysian and then Chinese and Indian. There arising the question of a national identity.

The sacrifice and efforts of the founding fathers of Malaya may not be consistent with the current generation partly due to the scars of the past race riot in 69.

Many a younger generations have no such fear and integrating with friends of different race or religion is a common step IF PARENTS DO NOT create ill judgment in the young minds.

The way forward is to break perceptions, false belief and ill will. May the future generation bring about a new Malaysia. It is a possibility as what happened to South Africa.

S/O matir,

Here let me help you out. Just days ago, billionaire publisher Rupert Murdoch in a feature entitled "Fortune favours the smart" - this self made man who has been round the block in both Aust and the US, has come out to voice the importance of acquiring additional skills(language) for kids to be better prepared in an increasingly borderless world.

Let me share excerpts from the article with Murdoch's emphasis(in his view) on how public education in Western economies have come to fail students. Murdoch starts by saying .....

"As a rule, we spend too much time on avoiding failure. The real answer is to start pursuing success"(keris boy take note)

"Developing countries seem to understand this. When I travel to places like India and China, I do not hear people making lame excuses for mediocre schools. Instead of suggesting that their students cannot learn, they set high standards and expect they will be met. And they have crash programs for more and better schools".

This next para is both the where the meat is as well as a disclaimer, the justification of his view.

"I am not saying that Chinese education is perfect. It certainly is not. But it is clear that in a system where you are expected to perform, there is less slacking off. Maybe that¹s because poor people in China know that doing well on tests and getting a good education is the ticket to personal progress. Or maybe they know that the consequences for failure are much more severe than they are in, say, the more comfortable societies that are America and Australia".

And by the way, Rupert Murdoch sent his two youngest daughters to the one and only bilingual public school in Manhattan, NY - Shuang Wen. Famous last words from Rupert ....

"Not many American children have a school day or school week that goes as long as Shuang Wen. But instead of repelling students, the school is attracting them. African-American parents are clamouring to get their children into this school. They know that the hard work and sacrifice Shuang Wen demands of its students is their children’s ticket out of poverty and hopelessness".

Don't listen to me heck, what do I know but when Rupert or Warren Buffet or even Soros speaks - it is best to keep a inquisitive ear out. Many of us may or may not achieve our ambitions this life time but at least we have the requisite to ensure our kids are given ample opportunity instead.

Lastly, son of Matir - you can steal from us but education is one area where we will resist to the hilt. Try doing away with vernacular schools, just try it and you'll soon be shaft up your old man's arse, believe me.

Regards all,
Casper

Did Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir suggest that vernacular schools be abolished? Id 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.

Hello Rhan, makan already ?

I'm not Chinese educated and I'm just as lost as many illiterates given a menu in Hong Kong and Taipeh. Fortunately I use to sit down an watch Hong Kong Cantonese serials with my grandmother - can survive with my Cantonese and very bad Hokkien.

It is a smart choice to have a child learn/attend Chinese school at primary level and then have the choice of being able to switch beyond that. Those 5-6 years of schooling would prove priceless, the best gift a parent can give a child - my personal point of view. More affluent families in London today engage Chinese nannies instead of the usual French, German, Swiss au pair - just for the opportunity to expose the child and pick up an additional skill.

Public school systems in richer communities in California have been emphasizing an additional 2 hours a day for the teaching of Mandarin but here in M'sia, UMNO and the many nay sayers continue to deride vernacular schools.

Heck, if I didn't care, if I don't 'sayang' your kids - I'll tell you send them to govt schools, go attend ITM, no need English lah and become an UMNO thief just like Mat Tyson and Khir Toyol.

Sack those politician without English speaking.
Sack all religions teachers
burn all books in mother language, like Emperor Qing Shi Huang
Ban Mandarin, BM and Tamil in all TV programmes.
Ban Mandarin, BM and Tamil Newspapers.
Ban Mandarin, BM and Tamil Road Signs.

Then Malaysia will progress rapidly towards better tomorrow as complete UMNO gang will be sacked.

Frankly I think Mukhriz is about 200 years ahead of his time. In future there is no doubt we should unite completely, but Malaysia of today is not ideal. It is far from ideal. For eg. the incessant quarrels in New Era College show how immature some Malaysians are. Maybe it is time for wiser and stronger people to make the decisions? But stronger also means use of force in most cases - which I disagree with.

Anyway, this MCA - UMNO sandiwara over Ketuanan Melayu and vernacular schools shows how much wiser and cunning MCA/UMNO is compared to stupid Malaysians. they are just heating up society and making everyone angry for worse things to come and stupid Malaysians are playing into their trap.

Hi Casper,

Besides greeting “makan already?” the Chinese another priority is education. Our forebear in the Nanyang region never cease to donate to education though some of them always tak cukup makan. And will never pardon us if we will to hand over our next generation education to a bunch of parasite and thieves who until today can’t make up their mind which language work best for them. Look at their policy on language for science and mathematics, if our Chinese Educators will to back down, we would become the super idiot like the one in Sekolah Kebangsaan.

We beat them 1000 to 0 even if the medium of language is in whatever language be it English or Malay as long as their leaders treat education as part of politic. The sadden part is that after many years, the ignorant general mass still allow this parasite to fool them in the name of ketuanan and kebangsaan.

The Malaysian Chinese opponent and major competitors is the mainland capitalist. Ask any Singaporean parents who occupied the top position in their children school examination, the answer are kids from mainland China. And our kampung boy still not willing to wake up.

To survive, we can’t rely on this parasite.

The idea of having a unified school with compulsory mother tongue subject is worth consideration. The biggest set back is vernacular schools have more discipline and better teachers. To absorb them into the public school system is to let a minority group of dedicated teachers doing work for the clearly under-performing majority, some whom can't even string proper sentences together - resulting in a NET LOSS of total education quality in the country. So before you abolish vernacular schools, please reform the public school system first so that there's no reason for vernacular schools to exist in the first place.
