I did my education in the 1960's in the national school where we studied and played together with pupils of all races and we got along fine and the system of Education was then in English and of course we had to take extra tuition classes in Bahasa Malaysia as we know it is important and if we fail in this subject then we are "history" no matter how well we did in the other subjects. !! We then knew to succeed we have to do well in Bahasa. ! No two ways about it!

And now what do we have in our present education in the so called national school? It does not resemble what we had previously !! As a result i have not sent my children to the national school and I do not think I have made a mistake. I only regret they did not have the chance to integrate with the other races at the primary level like what i experienced previously !.

Vernacular education is here to stay. Get over it. It was a basis of the formation of Malaysia. This is what was agreed. It is that 'you allow us'. We allowed ourselves, we made a choice to retain vernacular education, so as to enrich Malaysia and the future generations.

It is not that when the Chinese and Indians arrived in Malaya there were Malay or english school ready for their children's enrollment. No, there were no schools! The immigrant races had to built their own schools, brick by brick, plank by plank, and import teachers, and pay for all these for over one and a half centuries! Malay schools came a hundred years later. And now you are suggesting that the toils and contributions of seven generations, the gracious endowment of their ancestors for future generations, to enrich the land and it's peoples, be surrendered? Are they even ethically and morally right to make a decision that is not theirs? Can anyone change the covenant of the ancestors?

Get the malay children to attend chinese and tamil schools, and enrich themselves and their culture and breakout of their parochialism that keeps them bonded in the dungeons of darkness. Then all children will be attending the same schools.

Remember, the only good thing left in our educations system is the vernacular schools. Can you not see that this and this alone, is what that bestows Malaysia whatever respectability it still has? Is there any other gems in this country?

This is nonsense and you know it.Why don't the chinese send their children to national schools?the answer is simple.

Just look at the quality of the teachers teaching in National schools.Apparently one story I heard some years ago was that those who enrolled in teachers colleges only did so because they could not find any other job! I cry for the future of our nation. The Govt leaders are so blind to their foolish policies sacrificing the future of the country for political mileage. Reverting the teaching of Science and Maths back to Bahasa Malaysia is a big step backwards.When will they stop kidding themselves that Bahasa Malaysia is the 5th most widely spoken language in the world? Bahasa Malaysia is only spoken in Malaysia. Period.The Malay spoken in indonesia doesn't even sound remotely like our Bahasa Malaysia!

The other excuse of rural student being unable to understand english. Wake up man. If you have weak muscles what do you do? you have to exercise them to make them strong! not pamper them and let them deteriorate further! Another example of this is the reclassification of Grades from A1 and A2 to A A and A- for SPM this year. This another exercise in pulling wool over the rakyat's eyes.The people in the education department must be so tired of trying to justify the entry of lower qualified bumis into matriculation programmes over higher qualified non bumis that they came out with this bright idea.

So for all we know, A will be 95 and above, A will be 80 and above and A- will be 65 marks and above. Easier for them to justify their biased matriculation selection policies. The students have straight As!Can u imagine the shame we suffer even now when our so called 16 As student sent to United Kingdom came back because of failing the first year?

That deceitful and greatest tongue-twister Malaysia ever had is at it again! He will say exactly the opposite meaning of what is actually happening in our malfunctioning national systems and then attribute them on the unwillingness of the poor minority to cooperate. Look, quoting the old fart:

"The Chinese educationists do not even want Chinese children to be near Malay children.. they mustn't get into contact with Malay children... that is why they rejected our vision school," he said.

"He said it was bad to remain completely separate to the point where you did not allow your children to mix with other children of other races".

What the fcuk is he talking about? With the current poor standards of teaching and grades in the national schools coupled with the ever growing infusion of religious indoctrination in them, could you blame the other parents for having second thoughts? Ask, you cunning old bugger, ask who are the ones in Malaysia that had been quietly but steadily rejecting other races for decades with the government's exclusive policies and subtle encouragements especially from yours! It is not only in the schools' system but everywhere in society, division now abound! Ask, you old trouble-maker, ask who are the ones now who are still hesitating to be called Malaysians first? The Chinese? The Indians? You must be out of your mind!

And finally, ask, you old recalcitrant, ask yourself which type of educational system did you come from to have made you so bloody clever and cunning to boot! Do you now dare say that the system was no good for you and all the PMs before and after you? Why not try to reinstate the policy bit by bit for the good of all Malaysians if it was proven that it is the best system so far? Ask and clear your own conscience first before you go to sleep..that will do you and the people of Malaysia a lot of good. A nation living with less denial and a compulsive knack for hegemonic diversionary blame and actions onto the minorities will make the country a healthier nation. Maybe then, only then, Malaysians can truly start to blend in as one nation of united people! Go away, you trouble-maker!

Good grief, the master racist again.

Govt schools are identified by the non-committal teachers, the teachers who are concerned with annual leave and maternity leave, giving private tuition, and producing straight A students who cannot fill up English forms

Chinese schools are identified with academically intelligent students and principals and PTA that is strong and passionate about their children's future. Too much homework too and high standards. Children also have no childhood. Internationally recognised (at least in Asean)

MaHitler, don't treat schools like Proton. In order to make sales for Proton you set up trade barriers for imported cars and reduce the public transport to a 3rd world country standard. Are you going to ban vernacular schools so that govt servants can have jobs and govt schools are in demand?

The question back to the Honourable Tun,is it the non-malays who remain to distant themselves and not consider themselves Malaysians...???

The question to constantly compare Malaysia to other countries when one knows that all Malaysians are not of the same culture,race,religion,tradition and mother-tongue to begin with..?

The question of wanting all Malaysians to be stereotyped to speak one language and eventually adopt one culture,mannerism,hence thinking and behaving like one would eventually make the true essence of Malaysian in it's History of multi-coloured race,religion,culture,tradition and language disappear..?

Please people of power,with dignity and pride,could you not ask yourself the very same question if you choose for all Malaysian to be educated in one single school system choosing Bahasa Melayu,did you formally educated yourself way back then in just one school system and if you have educated your children and their generation in the very same school system that you promote now...?

I do hope you understand that to change and deprive anyone of what would be the best for their own ability and pride is somewhat detrimental to any child be it Malay or non-Malay...

Please consider many years from now,for those who think to make the rules,will you be there to rectify the damage???

Students in the Chinese primary schools have lots of opportunity to interact with students from other races because there are a big number of Malay, Indian, Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Orang Ulu and Kadazan students in the Chinese primary schools. After standard 6, they join the secondary schools and therefore have more opportunity to interact with other races, but government sends lots of Malay students to the sekolah berasrama penuh and mara colleges. They can still interact with the bumiputra in Form 6, but the government introduces the matriculation system and pull away all the Malay students. They can still interact with Malay students in Polytechnic, Teacher training colleges or Uitm, but the doors are either closed or too small to allow them to get in. Having completed their education, they wanted to become public servants so that they can be a "Malaysian", but they are rejected. Every Malaysian must respect and honour the aspiration of other races to learn their mother tongue.
