The Chinese schools and the Tamil schools have now become bright sparks on our education horizon (although up to primary level only). There are almost 100,000 Malay students enrolled in the Chinese schools. Why? Because 200,000 Malay parents (father and mother) want to give their children a better education.
The few Chinese SECONDARY schools in Malaysia offer the UEC or United Examination Certificate. The UEC is well regarded outside Malaysia like in Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China - countries with the highest education standards in the world. Yes the whole world may laugh at our SPM top-scorers but believe me no one laughs at the UEC certificates offered by the Chinese secondary schools.
Again as I said the sekolah kebangsaan is a Malay problem. It is not a Malaysian problem. The clowns who occupy the PM's office are all Malays. Putting it another way the Malays who occupy the PM's office are clowns. It is a Malay problem. Perhaps we should one day put a non-Malay in the PM's office just to prove the point whether non-Malay PM's are also clowns.
If a non-Malay PM is also a clown ONLY then we can say that yes this is indeed a 'Malaysian' problem. But till then, it remains a Malay problem.
FELDA is an exclusively Malay problem. Full stop. It is NOT a Malaysian problem. End of story.
A Malay religious leader saying rasuah is halal is an exclusively Malay-Muslim problem. Even the other Muslims in the country (like the Mamak Muslims, the Chinese Muslims etc) or Muslims in other parts of the world do not say that rasuah is halal. No Muslim in their right mind will say rasuah is halal. Again this is an exclusively Malay-Muslim problem. This is NOT a Malaysian problem.
The RM100 gift for the poor is also a big issue with the Malays. Granted that RM100 can only buy a few kilos of ikan kembong but for many Malays in Kelantan and other poor States that RM100 dos give some relief. Not all Malaysians may feel the same way or even need the RM100. Again this is also not a Malaysian problem. It is certainly a Malay problem.
Inviting convicted felons to the Istana?? Need I say it again? Folks, why is this important? Especially to you Malay folks. The Malay intelligentsia, the middle class and upper class Malays. Why is this important? Firstly so that you may recognise that YOU are the problem. Do not blame others for your problems. Please grow up. You cannot blame Chin Peng, blame the DAP, blame the Zionists, blame Genghis Khan etc for your problems. Look at yourselves first. You are the problem. Once you can recognise where the real problem lies only then you can come up with the right solutions to solve YOUR problems. And please, please do not try to solve YOUR problems by making problems for the non Malays. That does not solve any of your problems. It only creates more problems for all Malaysians.
Please do not cause obstructions for other people who are not the cause of any of YOUR problems. You have serious problems, go and find solutions for your own problems. Do not make problems for other people who do not have the same problems as you. But here is the slippery part. This is one example. In the sekolah kebangsaan they teach only FIVE periods of Mathematics a week. BUT they teach NINE periods of agama. Here is the really slippery part : Do you Malay people consider this to be a problem or not? How you answer this question will determine if your problems will continue or not? How you answer this question will determine if the world laughs at you or not?
In comparison in China they teach 20 periods of Mathematics a week. In Singapore they teach 15 periods of Mathematics a week. Do you see the world laughing at China? Do you see the world laughing at Singapore? So please learn to differentiate the problem. Is it a Malaysian problem or is it a Malay problem? Please be honest.
I have always enjoyed reading ready Outsyed The Box. He does not pull punches when criticising the ketuanans.
ReplyDeleteThe Malays must be thankful that they have people like Outsyed and M.Bakri to speak the hard truths.
But then, will their voices be heard? Sadly, I think not. The ketuanans will double down to push back and blame the rest of the world instead of doing some soul searching.
