To my ketuanan friends please listen up. Rightnow the sekolah kebangsaan (gomen schools) which have turned their backs onEnglish and promote a strongly religious indoctrination in all gomen schoolsare actually performing a great disservice to generations of Malay and nonMalay school children.
Yesterday's news said that at Form 3 level inMalaysia, 87% of all students obtain grade 'D' and 'F' for Science andMathematics.
Only 13% of 15 year olds in gomen schools passScience and Mathematics.
· In short, the sekolah kebangsaan aremaking our students stupid.
· Our gomen schools are manufacturingstupid children.
· Sebelum masuk sekolah anak-anak kitabelum cerdik.
· Bila dah habis sekolah depa kurangcerdik.
Can someone please go and check the Mathematics andScience scores at the Chinese schools?
To my ketuanan friends the only way to make theChinese schools go away is by reverting the gomen schools back to the Englishbased education system. And remove ALL religious indoctrination andreligion based influences and activities in all schools.
Just like it was when my generation went to schoolin the 1970s and 1960s. And thegeneration before thatin the 1950s, 1940s and 1930s.
In the 60s and 70s few Chinese sent their childrento the Chinese schools. All sensible Chinese parents sent their kids togovernment English schools. The enrolment at Chinese and Tamil schoolswas very low.
Then beginning in the mid 70s, the gomen startedmessing with our education system. We began changing the teaching of allthe school subjects in Malay. This was the single biggest mistake that has setback the country.
And the Malays have been set backby light years from the non Malays and the rest of the world. Somehow they do not seem to understand this. Sampai bila kita tak nak fahamperkara ini? Sampai Hari Wesak ke? Public holiday?
(As I keep saying all that free money fromPetronasall these decades have been used to overdose and lull the Malays and Muslimsinto believing that they are on the right path. Well sorry folks you are not onthe right path. Now the oil money is drying up. Wake up.)
Then after the Liwat fellow came into power in the80s and became Education Minister, there was a second wave of committingsuicide - the 'jom-kita-jadi-Arab indoctrination in gomen schools. Thetudung, the baca doa, the guru agama becoming the strongest influence inschools, overruling sports activities, banningsinging, banning music,banning dancing, banning swimming trunks for boys, banning swim suits forgirls, over regulating the girls etc etc.
The Chinese are always cleverer. They saw from very early on that the inmates weretaking over the mental asylum. So they pulled their kids outof gomen school and sent them to their Chinese schools.
The Chinese also began investing heavily in Chineseschools. Chinese schools are multistoreyed, they havelifts and their classrooms are airconditioned. The standard of English inChinese schools has also improved. Many teachers in Chinese schoolshave Masters degrees. Even teachers in Chinese kindergartens have Mastersdegrees.
Chinese schools have always had a strong emphasis onMathematics and Science. Now they are also strong in English, debating, musicand arts. A very well rounded education. Plus they teach strong discipline. These are all very lacking in the gomen schools. And they do not havereligion in Chinese schools.
As Adenan Satem says, certainly the Chinese schoolsystem is producing hundreds of thousands of graduates who are contributingsignificantly to the nation. How else do you think the Chinese keep producingso much goods and services in the economy? Why elsearethe Chinese so wealthy (in such large numbers) compared to the others?
And yet the ketuanan guys want to abolish theChinese schools. So that depa pun semua jadi sama taraf, sama-samadunggu.
