Our politicians are treating us like punching bags. We are receiving blows after blows, damaging us inside out to the point we are either half dead, paralysed and unable to respond or become immune to the situation that we no longer have any sense of feeling. We no longer care. We get disheartened.
Not all of us are fighters. Not many of us would fight back. Interestingly, many would just sit there or lie down obediently to receive these punches, citing the lack of resources to fight on equal ground as their reason.
Our politicians are bunch of sickos! Be it from Barisan Nincompoops or Pakatan Rakyat, they are the same, just the level or masochism differs. The pain they would inflict on us still hurt the same way.
Thursday July 9, 2009 Maths and Science back to Bahasa Malaysia(fuck you The Star, at the main page you put this title, but in the inside you changed it to a politically uptight title “It is Bahasa again but more emphasis will be placed on learning English“. Do you need to put that BUT in the title? Lapdog!)
PUTRAJAYA: The Government has decided to reverse the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English policy and revert to Bahasa Malaysia in national schools and Chinese and Tamil in vernacular schools.
1st of all, fuck you Muhyiddin and other politicians alike.
Stop toying with our children. Pros or cons of this ‘new’ policy aside, what the hell politicians like you that knows shit about education and the hardship of the people at the receiving end, keep changing something of such importance, paramount to the development and the future of our younger generation like changing diapers? Fuck you.
Quote:
Based on studies conducted in 2008, he said, the ministry found that only a small percentage of teachers fully used English to teach the two subjects.
“On average, the percentage of those using English during Mathematics and Science periods was around 53% to 58%,” he said, adding that only a small number of teachers were proficient.
That is because every time the government make a new policy, it is done hastily without proper preparation and studies! Why the fuck these teachers don’t teach the subjects in English when they are tasked to do so?
“But it’s the Government’s responsibility to train and supply capable teachers. I’m confident that our teachers will be able to study and teach in English.”
I have written about this before, the actual problem is not the medium language used for teaching but quality of the teachers we have in my previous English or Bahasa Melayu for Science and Maths? where I opinionated for the implementation to be improved and not a complete U-turn of the policy.
Quote:
“But, since we already walked down the lane for the past 5 years, let’s keep it that way and stop flip flopping. it will do no good, this flip flop policies. Be firm. Bahasa Melayu or English? Stick with one.
That said, I am against the decision to gamble our students’ future again by changing it back to Bahasa Melayu. Keep using English as medium for Science and Maths. Just make necessary improvements to the current system. Making an U-turn and start again with a totally new policy, is a waste of time and stupid. Gradual changes to the continuing policies is acceptable, but abrupt change of policies should be avoided.“
And here we are, wasting our time and energy again for the sake of political survival? And hey! Don’t you love the timing of this policy announcement? At the dawn of a by election – Manik Urai! Just dig the archives, I bet tons of new policies were announced during elections.
So save it, Muhyiddin. We don’t buy your crap about ‘the reason for the reversal in policy was due to objective considerations and not political ones.’ Why the need for you to stress this if it’s not relevant?
While I agree the proficiency and mastery of English language has nothing to do with learning it in Science and Mathematics, these two subjects – especially Science – rely heavily for information widely available in the medium of English. And fuck it, this country is just not ready to teach Science in English when it only translates all science terms directly (and lamely) from English or making senseless new word.
How are you going to translate those technical terms? I experienced first hand the difficulties to switch from Bahasa Melayu to English when I was in university, where most of the good reference books are in English. Bahasa Melayu technical books are basically just rip off of the original books. The lecturers would ask their students to refer to journals and references, which are written in English anyway.
Not to mention it would take YEARS to write/translate all the books on Science and Maths in Bahasa Melayu. After that the books would be obsolete. Every day, there is new research, explorations, new inventions and other introduced through hundreds of research papers. Do we have the right resources to interpret these materials into Bahasa Melayu? I am afraid not.
A pass in English is not necessary but with the latest change of policy the government would put more ‘efforts’ into improving the standard of the language as reflected in the headline ‘.. more emphasis would be placed on learning English’ so you don’t have to worry about declining standard of English among students nowadays. Trust the government to do the right thing, even when we are not happy with its decision!
Let’s move to bashing the hypocrites. I remember when Mahathir made the policy change to use English as the medium to teach Science and Mathematics, we also have such hoo haa hoo haa like now. And without fail, some kaki bodek fuckers would come out to LOUDLY lend their support, singing praises and glory – “Oh, it’s a wise move. We support bla bla we-love-to-kiss-smelly-asses la la la.” These lalang fuckers are the same people that are singing a different tune now.
PUTRAJAYA: Political groups have welcomed the move to revert the teaching of Mathematics and Science to Bahasa Malaysia.
I don’t have to name the political groups. Without reading the article, just by looking at the title I am sure MCA – Mou Chuntoi Association is one of them and yes, I was right. Dickless pussies. (Yeah, that term doesn’t make perfect sense). Note that you can always find perfect irony in their statements, just like what I posted on George Chan yesterday.
MCA information and communications bureau chief Lee Wei Kiat said the Government’s decision was in line with Unesco’s finding that students could learn the two subjects better in their mother tongue.
“For the past six years, many students were affected by the teaching of the two subjects in English and could not catch up.
“This announcement will ensure that our students are competitive in both subjects,” he said.
Lee said the Government’s policy change in 2003 was “a lesson to learn.”
“Many reports have shown that the Government was not prepared to implement such a policy. Because of that, we have lost so much money.
“Therefore, we hope the Government will thoroughly think over proposals for new policies to avoid making such mistakes,” he said.
Competitive in both subjects by learning it in Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and Tamil. Right!
Samyvellu (MIC is Samyvellu, Samyvellu is MIC) of course would never miss out to give his opinion by consistently saying something stupid. Note the part where he said something about performance of students will improve WITH this decision (change to Bahasa Melayu) then “want more to be done to enhance the use of English in schools.”
MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said MIC agreed with the Cabinet decision.
He said the Tamil Schools Headmasters Council has asked for both subjects to be taught in Tamil.
“Lets hope the performance of students will improve with this decision. We want more to be done to enhance the use of English in schools,” he said.
Hey, Hishammuddin Hussein was saying something? Wasn’t he the one that come up with pretty statistics every time UPSR and PMR results were announced during his tenure as the Education Minister? He claimed cows and pigs to show the standards of English, Science and Mathematics are getting better each and every year? Of course he was serving a different master back then.
Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein was confident that a majority of the people would understand the Government’s decision if they looked at the reasons behind the move.
Hishammuddin, who was the former Education Minister, said it was impossible for the Government to expect everyone to receive the decision well.
“It is not a knee-jerk reaction as a result of political pressure,” he told a press conference here yesterday.
He said the ministry started to study the effects of teaching the two subjects in English during his time as Education Minister.
“We have been looking into the grouses raised for many months and even years,” he said.
Just google for the statistics released for the results of both subjects in public examinations – UPSR and PMR and you can be sure that this buggers is a pathological liar!
Still on hypocrites. While these buggers yapping about patriotism, Bahasa Melayu, mother tongue languages, national and vernacular schools and throwing every justifications they could think of, their children continue to get the best education possible, worth every money spent. The poor and under priviledged will continue to slug it in schools using the medium of instruction which the government had ‘objectively’ considered for them.
Ironically, what our politicians think is good for our students doesn’t seem to be good enough for them. To where our politicians sent their children to? Najib sent his kids to an International School and I am sure that school doesn’t use Bahasa Melayu in their teaching.
I quote a paragraph written by Farish A Noor in his Facebook Notes to illustrate this point.
Quote:
Secondly, one is struck by the most obvious observation that this policy has set back the process of development for scores of poor Malaysian children from every ethnic community, many of whom will remain in vernacular schools while the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful (many of them the brats of politicians, mind you) will probably be sent abroad to study in places like the United Kingdom, United States of America and Australia; where the medium of instruction will be in English. With one bold stroke, we have effectively opened a chasm between the rich and the poor, the privileged and the under-privileged, and in effect created two social classes. One made up of the poor lumpen proletariats who will be reduced to the status of surplus labour in the years to come, and another class of rich, well-connected, foreign-educated Malaysian elites whose cosmopolitan outlook and enhanced educational background will make them global citizens who can and probably will find their fortunes anywhere in the world. What a gift that we have given to the poor children of this country!
Our politicians never take us seriously. To add salt to the wound, some of us never bother to take things serious and dismiss all these as socio-political junks, allowing these ruthless nincompoops running amok with our lives. Or perhaps, it’s just me.
Maybe I should learn not to take thing seriously. It is a known fact that paying too much attention on the socio-political issues in this country is hazardous. You are susceptible to brain damage. You may get stroke or heart attack because of the rising blood pressure. Ah, talking about blood pressure, when I did my medical check up early of this month before I went for the Basic Offshore Safety and Sea Survival course, the BP reading is 140/90. That is considerably high for a young brat like me. I couldn’t find any reason to justify the high reading but now I think it may have to do with me eat, breath and shit too much political craps.
I need to read and write something happy. Or smoke something to make me happy. I’ll be back when I am happier. Take care guys, don’t let the nincompoops bring you down.
Hari ini masuk hari yang ke-20 Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-6. Tidak dapat dipastikan secara jelas bagaimana rakyat Malaysia amnya dan pemimpin -pemimpin Malaysia khususnya menjadi taksub dengan cogankata.
Semua parti politik Malaysia ada cogankata masing-masing, yang kadang-kadang amat lucu jika diambil kira kesesuaian cogankata tersebut dengan corak dan agenda politik sesebuah parti tersebut dan tidak hairan mengapa ada parti yang kerapkali menukar cogankata mereka.
Cogankata yang popular akhir-akhir ini terutamanya di kalangan parti-parti yang menempa nasib malang pada pilihanraya umum tahun lepas adalah cogankata yang membawa erti ‘pembaharuan’, ‘perubahan’ dan ‘nafas baru’, kurang pasti mengapa ia menjadi pilihan.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad yang menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-4 pada tahun 1982 menggunakan cogankata ‘Bersih, Cekap dan Amanah’ untuk pemerintahan beliau dan seterusnya mempopularkan cogankata nombor satu Malaysia – ‘Malaysia Boleh’.
Pemimpin-pemimpin selepas beliau juga mengikut jejak langkah beliau dengan memperkenalkan cogankata masing-masing sebaik sahaja mengambil alih tampuk pemerintahan. Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dengan’cemerlang, Gemilang dan Terbilang’ dan Perdana Menteri Malaysia sekarang, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pula memperkenalkan cogankata ‘Satu Malaysia, Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan’.
‘Satu Malaysia’ yang ditulis sebagai ‘1Malaysia’ disandarkan oleh Datuk Seri Najib sebagai konsep untuk merealisasikan bangsa Malaysia dengan melihat seseorang warga negara Malaysia tanpa berdasarkan warna kulit, agama, keturunan dan budayanya. Dalam ucapan sulungnya selepas menjadi Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib menyatakan bahawa 1Malaysia ditunjangi diperkenalkan tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah untuk perpaduan rakyat Malaysia dengan yang dua prinsip utama iaitu sikap saling menghormati antara satu sama lain dan keyakinan antara satu sama lain.
Utusan Malaysia, Hipokrit, Penipuan dan Omong Kosong
Sayang sekali, apa yang diutarakan oleh Datuk Seri Najib dalam konsep 1Malaysia beliau nampaknya tidak difahami atau diterima baik oleh golongan ultra Melayu khususnya dalam Umno itu sendiri. Tidak sampai 2 minggu beliau memperkenalkan konsep 1Malaysia, pada 15 April 2009, akhbar Utusan Malaysia yang dimiliki Umno dalam halaman utama telah menyeru rakyat Malaysia yang berbangsa Melayu untuk ‘bangkit dan bersatu dalam berhadapan dengan tuntutan kaum lain yang kini dilihat semakin keterlaluan‘, satu kenyataan yang boleh menyebabkan wujudnya buruk sangka antara kaum di Malaysia.
Apa yang diutarakan dalam laporan ‘Bangkitlah Melayu‘ oleh Utusan Malaysia adalah jelas bertentangan dan jauh terpesong daripada konsep ‘1Malaysia’ yang dijaja oleh Datuk Seri Najib. Namun begitu, sudah menjadi kebiasaan pemimpin-pemimpin Malaysia khususnya daripada parti Barisan Nasional yang diketuai oleh Umno untuk gemar bermain retorik, omong kosong dan menyampaikan khabar ‘indah dari rupa’.
Perdana Menteri mengelak daripada mengulas laporan Utusan Malaysia tersebut apabila ditanya sama ada laporan itu bertentangan dengan konsep perpaduan “Satu Malaysia” yang dipromosi olehnya, sebaliknya berkata ia terserah kepada penilaian seseorang dengan memberikan jawapan dangkal “Itu terpulang kepada tafsiran masing-masing.”
Sudah pasti seandainya ada akhbar berbahasa Cina atau Tamil yang mengeluarkan laporan berbaur mengapikan-apikan sentimen perkauman seperti yang dilakukan oleh Utusan Malaysia, layanan yang berlainan akan diberikan. Sudah pasti sekiranya versi ini yang berlaku di mana akhbar berbahasa Cina dan Tamil yang menyeru ‘Bangkitlah Cina!’ dan ‘Bangkitlah India‘, semua menteri-menteri khususnya dari Barisan Nasional akan keluar dengan kenyataan keras untuk mengutuk laporan seumpama itu kerana cuba menggugat falsafah perpaduan 1Malaysia yang dibawa oleh Perdana Menteri.
Mesyuarat tergempar dan tindakan keras akan diambil ke atas akhbar-akhbar tersebut kerana menerbitkan artikel yang boleh menjejaskan hubungan antara kaum. Mungkinkah sekiranya yang menyeru supaya kaum masing-masing bersatu untuk berhadapan dengan ancaman kaum lain yang itu adalah akbar berbahasa Cina dan Tamil, barulah ia akan menjadi isu yang cukup penting dan segera untuk dibincangkan oleh kabinet Perdana Menteri?
Mengapa tiada kenyataan daripada Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri yang bertanggungjawab bagi Hal Ehwal Perpaduan dan Pengurusan Prestasi berkenaan isu ini? Apakah laporan seperti ini membantu mengeratkan lagi perpaduan rakyat Malaysia? Adakah prestasi Perdana Menteri dalam menangani isu ini dinilai sewajarnya? Gagalkah beliau? Di mana suara parti-parti komponen BN seperti MCA dan MIC?
Perdana Menteri, Najib Tun Razak bukan sahaja tidak mengambil tindakan ke atas Utusan Malaysia atas laporan tersebut, sebaliknya menyeru rakyat Malaysia supaya melepaskan diri dari ‘penjara etnik’ dan berfikir sebagai satu bangsa. Jelas, ini hanya retorik kosong yang mana kita dapat melihat percanggahan dari segi perlaksanaan dengan ‘lain yang dikata, lain yang dibuat’. Wujudnya budaya ‘double standard’ dan hipokrasi ahli-ahli politik Barisan Nasional inilah yang menjadi punca hilangnya sokongan rakyat Malaysia kepada mereka. (Rais Yatim, sila ambil perhatian)
Politik perkaumanan, pecah dan perintah and opportunis
Politik Malaysia masih berada di takuk lama. Mungkin kerana rata-rata ahli-ahli politiknya adalah tinggalan dari zaman purba, masih melihat isu dari kaca mata mereka yang telah uzur. Sukar untuk menerima dan mempercayai seruan untuk pembaharuan dan perubahan itu dalah ikhlas dan jujur sekiranya yang membuat seruan itu adalah orang lama, dengan pemikiran lama dan cara lama.
Tidak kira parti pembangkang atau parti kerajaan, masing-masing masih terperangkap dengan isu perkauman. Ini amat ketara berlaku dalam parti-parti komponen Barisan Nasional – Umno, MCA dan MIC. Semenjak pilihanraya umum Mac 2008, parti-parti komponen BN semakin semakin galak berkempen untuk menimbulkan rasa benci dan curiga sesama kaum.
Umno dengan menggunakan media massa tunggangannya seperti RTM1, RTM2, TV3, Utusan Malaysia dan Berita Harian semakin hangat berkempen bagi menaburkan perasaan benci dan curiga terhadap masyarakat bukan Melayu, untuk menarik sokongan masyarakat Melayu. MCA dan MIC melalui media vernakular masing-masing pula menari mengikut irama Umno, contohnya dalam pemilihan kabinet baru Perdana Menteri, masing-masing membuat permintaan yang kaum masing-masing.
MCA meminta supaya diberikan jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri Cina bagi menjadikan kepentingan kaum Cina. MIC meminta lebih banyak jawatan menteri penuh diberikan kepada pemimpin-pemimpin India dari MIC, juga untuk menjaga kepentingan kaum India. Ironinya, kedua-dua parti ini ditolak oleh penyokong tradisi masing-masing pada pilihanraya umum yang lepas kerana tidak menjaga kepentingan mereka.Ahli-ahli politik Barisan Nasional yang diketuai oleh Umno telah mengeksploitasikan paranoia kaum untuk kepentingan diri dan kroni masing-masing.
Sedarkah orang Melayu semua bahawa perkataan bumiputera, hak istimewa orang Melayu dan bumiputera, kedaulatan Raja-Raja Melayu itu kerap dilaung-laungkan oleh golongan opportunis yang hanya bergelar Melayu pada nama tetapi golongan Melayu inilah yang menipu orang Melayu dari segi penyelewengan projek kerajaan, meminda akta untuk melemahkan institusi raja, menidakkan kekayaan sumber negara untuk dinikmati oleh orang Melayu miskin, memukul, menembak gas pemedih mata dan menghumban orang Melayu ke dalam jerejak besi?
Sedarkah orang India dan orang Cina, perkataan sekolah Tamil, sekolah Cina, bahasa Cina dan bahasa Tamil, tempat ibadat tokong dan kuil itu kerap dilaungkan-laungkan oleh golongan opportunis Cina dan India yang hanya mempergunakan sokongan mereka sebagai batu loncatan politik?
Siapa itu Ibrahim Ali? Ibrahim Ali lantang bercakap berkenaan kepentingan orang Melayu. Beliau bercakap tentang nasib orang Melayu, pembelaan dan ketuanan orang Melayu dan Umno adalah satu-satunya badan yang boleh membela dan memperjuangkan nasib orang Melayu. Sungguh aneh lagi menghairankan, katak politik ini jugalah yang cabut lari dari Umno dan melompat-lompat melacurkan diri untuk kelangsungan politik beliau.
Dengan sifat fanatik kemelayuan yang tebal, mengapa Ibrahim Ali meninggalkan Umno, parti ulung orang Melayu? Umno tidak boleh tidak ada tokoh pejuang seperti Ibrahim Ali berkhidmat ntuk parti, seharusnya. Ternyata Ibrahim Ali hanyalah opportunis murahan, seorang pelacur politik yang melalut seperti orang gila hanya kerana ingin mengambil kesempatan untuk menyatakan bahawa beliau amat kepingin dan sungguh terdesak untuk kembali kepada Umno.
Bangkit untuk Satu Malaysia, dalam erti kata sebenarnya.
Tiada sebarang kaum yang tengah berkomplot untuk menindas mana-mana komuniti yang lain. Ini cuma mainan politik ahli-ahli politik hipokrit Barisan Nasional yang dikepalai oleh Umno. Kita semua harus bangkit untuk menyahkan politik perkauman zaman kuno yang diekploitasikan oleh ahli-ahli politik murahan ini demi kepentingan diri sendiri dan kroni mereka.
Perkauman tidak akan membantu sesuatu kaum itu, dan keuntungan yang diperolehi dengan menidakkan hak atau atas kesusahan kaum lain, malah mana-mana kaum sekalipun tidak akan membantu perpaduan negara.
Malaysia tidak akan maju dan berdaya saing sekiranya rakyat Malaysia tidak bersatu padu dalam erti kata yang sebenarnya. Oleh itu, kita semua harus bangkit bukan untuk saling bercakaran sesama kita, akan tetapi kerana kita sayang akan negara Malaysia ini dan ingin supaya rakyat Malaysia tidak kira warna kulit, bangsa, agama dan pegangan politik menikmati hidup yang adil, makmur dan saksama.
I had a long teh tarik session with Noktah Hitam and Aeropama on Friday night. It is a normal thing now, hanging out from 10pm – 4am. We bitched about many things that came to mind and oogled at girls at the same time. (yours truly did, not sure about those two.. I know they checked out a ladyboy sitting on the next table at one time )
One of the many topics we talked about was ‘English or Bahasa Melayu as medium for Science and Maths?’ Yes, we talked about such things over teh tarik, because we need to pretend we are smart people and care for the nation. We also talked about Nora Danish, Emilda Rosmila and cheongsamlover’s blog but I will spare you the unnecessary gossips. (We can always arrange for another teh tarik session for that)
This topic has been going around for so long, often politicised and used by self-serving politicians to fish for votes rather than serving the nation’s interes and looking at the bigger picture. Our fickle minded government and its famous policy of flip floping to gain popularity has caused many problems to students and parents. The government should stop toying with the future of the nation by experimenting with such important policy, treating students as guinea pigs. (Hear that Hishamuddin Hussein?)
I am agnostic on this issue. Both English and Bahasa Melayu language has its own advantages and disadvantages. I am actually advocating for finding ways to improve its implementation instead of doing another U-turn. Allow me to generalise here, by making blanket statements for both proponents and opponents for English or Bahasa Melayu as medium for teaching Science and Maths.
