I received this SMS from a friend of mine and I must say it made my day.
” Took a friend to DIGI yesterday. ” I am from US. Can I get a line?” Girl looked intensely at the passport, finally: “U amreeka ke US?” Tell me ….. should I laugh or cry”.
As i said earlier, this is the effect of screwing up our education for the last 25 years, when UMNO started influencing the education system. Education should never been politicised.
We have Geography and History books that have been manipulated so that the students will not know anything else other than the great UMNO’s achievements and ketuanan crap. Do you know that the students nowadays do not read any other history of the world!! BTW , the history of Malaya starts only from the time Parameswara steps his foot on Malacca!
The only other history they read other than Malaysia’s, is history of Islam (tamadun Islam) which takes about 5 out of 10 chapters for SPM! I can bet you that they won’t even know who is Abraham Lincoln, Hitler, Stalin etc etc. I don’t understand why they have to bring religious civilization into the syllabus. If so what happen to the Christian empire, Hindu Empire etc etc.
This is what I call, manipulation of the young’s mind to benefit the ruling party! Please read the history of Nazi’s, you will see the similarities. Gob Bless.
Dear Dr. Pgalavan, I agree with you, the result of our education system being manupulated by politicians can be seen today. I know of some university graduates unable to write a proper letter in English. And some of the graduates are being employed by international companies which need someone with good comman of English in order to communicate with their counterparts globally. So don’t blame why the unemployment rate is 1 in 4 among university graduates.
Greetings Dr Pagalavan,
The ‘Text Message’ has made my day as well
.
I am a Pharmacist currently in a Government University. It is sad over here…The employment ratio is utterly pathetic! In the whole school, there is only 1 Indian, 1 Chinese who speaks excellent English! The rest are Malayu. Yes all of them! None of them can speak 1 full sentence of English without bringing Melayu in! All they’re good at is the morning breakfast at 9am, lunch at 12noon and tea break at 4pm. Its like that’s the only time they’re really ecstatic! I feel so disappointed being caught up in this situation..Even clear & simple instruction cannot be understood, I have to always translate in Melayu! huft!!!~ I pity the future of this nation…
