Dear all,

Another comment I posted at Tun’s blog

Dear PM Tun Dr Mahathir,

Please allow me to response to @twinpeaks. First of all I am not a Chinese chauvinistic or arrogant, I am all ear for intelligent discourse. You are young and intelligent, a future Malaysia leader. I am impressed with your two hour late meeting with Datuk Pengarah especially; “quote, So, I went ballistic, nicely of course. In a low but firm voice, I gave them a tongue-lashing. They were all shocked! Can you believe this??? My sarcastic response suddenly registered into their minds of these bureaucrats, and the meeting ended up with a promise by the Ministry to look further into the idea that I had just pitched to them. The two other invited Ministries also promised to do the same. So, these Ministries can expect to hear from me again, soon!. Unquote”

May I ask if @mubarakchan will to make appointment with Datuk Pengarah for a presentation meeting do you think Datuk Pengarah will even consider fixing a meeting?

Again I did not disparaging Malaysian national education system but strongly criticize those who keep blaming Vernacular school as cause of disunity but give a freehand to politicians exploiting the INHERENT fear in the general Malay and Native populace with race-baiting. I can’t agree more with you; “quote, we are not short of smart people in the Bumiputera community. We actually KNOW what needs to done and improved. It is not for want of knowledge, but willingness and desire to improve the system. Unquote”

I had heard this intelligent discourse many times so what holding back the willingness and desire to improve our national education system when the whole Malaysia future generations are at risk?

As I said before, it is our culture to push our next generation to do better than the last. Be smarter. Be stronger. Be faster. Be more righteous. Be more pious. Be more innovative. Be more creative. Be richer. Be everything that you can be in this lifetime.

I am an engineering graduate from UM, I am thankful to my parents for their many scarified in order to put me through university education and grateful to BN Government for giving me a place in UM to read engineering. (My third brother was not so lucky even with 2A and 2B in STPM result he was offered his last choice of Science with Education). Today all my three children passed their SPM examination with flying color and score many A’s even in Bahasa Malaysia despite been educated in SJK(C). My children all choose to go for private tertiary education. My elder son is now robotic services engineer after graduated from Monash University Australia. My second son pharmacist after graduated from NUS Singapore and my daughter now doing her mass-communication study in University of Huddersfield UK. As parents we are proud of our children achievement and our hard earned money was worth spending to give the best education to our children.

So to my future Malaysian leaders, these are what I want for Malaysia and if what I want make me a Chinese chauvinistic so be it.

1. A truly mature democratic society where two truly capable parties competing with each other on merit and idea to govern this country.

2. A JUST and CARING society where his entire citizen will have the opportunity to truly realise his/her full potential. And the weaker one given assistant and support to at least able to live a decent life.

3. A truly confident and competitive society where we can take on the best of the best globally.

4. A religion practices in moderation that promote acquired all type of worthy knowledge that will enhance our value system and make Malaysia a moral, ethical, scientific and progressive society.

5. A psychologically liberated, secure, tolerant and developed society that truly embrace and celebrate our diversity where different ethnicity, religions and cultures live in peace and harmony with mutual understanding, respect and acceptance.

6. An open and color blind society where issues can be debate constructively on its merit and demerit without fear and favor or name-calling.

7. Lastly a government that is Clean, Honest, Responsible, Competent, Just and respecting our diverse multi-ethnic, multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-lingual heritage.

Thank you

Yours truly,

SS LEE
