Got use meh this kind of online petition ?

Pakatoon have been in opposition far too long. Everything also oppose.

I'm thinking, as long as PH have the correct candidate for the task with the desired outcomes, f*** the manifesto. Tun M is the correct candidate to me. I doubt any other candidate got the ball to do the radical changes without the resistance from the public. This old man just want to make the radical changes to our education system before his biological life span coming to the end.

It is not like Tun M want the salary of the ministry portfolio for his survival, he don't need this la.

Otherwise, our country really full of geniuses who like to call everyone idiots as long as you don't get along with their views.

Yes!

Tun Dr Mahathir is the best person.

1) To right the wrong

2) To finish his duty & responsibility

3) To be the so called "bad guy" but doing the BEST DEED.

4) To make Malaysia Great!!!

May we pray for Tun Dr Mahathir

May God Almighty give him strength equal to his task.

Tun has mentioned that he would not take up the position as it contradicts with the Buku Harapan UNLESS the people of Malaysia choose to accept him as their Education Minister.

Go sign if u believe Tun is the correct candidate!

So far 60k+ hv signed.

why u guys want to over work an 92 years old?

I find Maszlee very suitable to be next Education Minister....young, energetic, intellectual and full of ideas.

and obvious , the big policies will be given by the PM.....

At 92 yrs n a tentative target of 2 yrs, to step down, it is better for Tun to let go of Education, n guide the new minister, to come out with the needed blueprint, goals n strategies, to revamp our edn policies. Time is the limiting factor for Tun.

These days, ppl live longer. 100+ yo pun tak hairan. What’s important is healthy ageing. As for the issue of death, any1 of us, old or young can die anytime. So age is just a number. Shouldn’t make it an issue. Other than scare he may overwork handling 2 portfolios, Tun is some1 we won’t hesitate handing over our children to be educated. Look how well educated his own children were! And he is the only 1 able to really revamp our kaput education systems. That’s why these days, so many parents ‘who can afford’ send their kids to private schools.

Also, the proposed candidate was rumoured to hv extremist connections. Why take the risk with our children future?

2 yrs down the road, after he hands over PMship to Anwar, Tun can still hold on to this education portfolio ( literally, didik cucu)? Not every1 retires n sits around to await death after 60yo.... Look at Robert Kuok, 94 yrs old, still going strong! Anak cucu kita semua will surely live way beyond 100 yo, according to researchers.

So let’s not use age as a yardstick. May the best man wins! Tun is an extraordinary man. Its an honour to hv him serve us again!

Hi Calvin, any idea on genting?

@calvintaneng, this article summarised most netizens’ worries. http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2018/05/20/former-associate-not-surprised-by-protests-over-maszlee-as-education-minister/

Other than that, if the new education system continues to promote discriminative and extremists values highlighted in this article: https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/savemalaysia/157433.jsp , don’t be too surprise Robert Kuok may withdraw his pledge to donate 10% his wealth to help Msia recover.

Also, if Maszlee is sworn in, bid farewell to Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English(or PPSMI). Ikram opposed PPSMI. Maszlee, is its committee member.

I’d my say. And would like to leave it to that. May the best man win!

Singapore mainly get foreign talent to develop the country they allow the knowledge gap to be filled. In America they practice that too, that is the way to progress. Education system base on merit is unfair for poor. Rich man can afford conducive studying opportunities for their kid while the poor man kid can never have those. So rich kid already have their advantages. Malaysia , can develop their own education system maybe follow US system is better. Forget Hong Kong and singapore PISA results, they only create fools that can’t accept the reality of real working environment demand.

Singapore gives all its citizens equal opportunity to study and excel

In my little Baptist Church of 40 members there were young men & women who grew up

1 Doctor

3 Lawyers (Of the 3 one is Assistant of High Court Judge) He is also Public Prosecutor who sent some thieving Bankers to jail due to money laundering emanating from 1MDB

Computer Engineers

ECommerce Marketers

Professional teachers

Others of high intelligence

As for the import of foreign talent it is due to Singapore's population unable to reproduce itself just like in Japan.

While Japan eschews foreign talents Singapore welcomes them with open arm

FOREIGN TALENT IS HUMAN CAPITAL. Just like FDI for Talent also play an important part in nation building.

If Foreign Investors/Entrepreneurs can create high quality well paying jobs they will contribute positively to the collective overall prosperity of a country.

See Wiki post on Human Capital

Human capital is a term popularized by Gary Becker, an economist and Nobel Laureate from the University of Chicago, and Jacob Mincer that refers to the stock of knowledge, habits, social and personality attributes, including creativity, embodied in the ability to perform labor so as to produce economic value.[1] The subject is closely associated with the study of human resources management as found in the practice of business administration and macroeconomics. The original idea of human capital can be traced back at least to Adam Smith in the 18th century.

In the recent literature, the new concept of task-specific human capital was coined in 2004 by Robert Gibbon, an economist at MIT, and Michael Waldman, an economist at Cornell. The concept emphasizes that in many cases, human capital is accumulated specific to the nature of the task (or, skills required for the task), and the human capital accumulated for the task are valuable to many firms requiring the transferable skills.[2] This concept can be applied to job-assignment, wage dynamics, tournament, promotion dynamics inside firms, etc.[3]

Tun, is a strong defender of Malaysia sovereignty, exemplified by his turning down of IMF aids in the 1997 financial crises.
His number one agenda for coming back is to prevent malaysia from coming under excessive influence/control of china. He is not back to make malaysia equal for all. Don't think too much just because there is change of govt, otherwise will be disappointed.

BN HAS A DACING SYMBOL OF TWO WEIGHING SCALE IN EQUAL BALANCE

BUT IT FAILED TO BALANCE OUT ITS JUST RULE.

AS THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE POWERS THAT BE ARE ORDAINED OF GOD"

IN THE END GOD CAST AWAY BN RULE AND NOW DELEGATED POWER TO PH.

SO NOW THE MANDATE TO RULE IS A DIVINE RESPONSILITY...

IT IS TO GOVERN FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AS A WHOLE. NO PARTIALITY SHOULD BE GIVEN.

ALL WILL BE BASED ON MERIT.

HE WHO WANTS TO BE GREATEST MUST THEREFORE BE THE SERVANT OF ALL

A STORY WAS TOLD ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON, THE FIRST US PRESIDENT.

ONE DAY GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS ON HIS ROUND INSPECTING HIS SOLDIERS.

WHILE PASSING A SMALL GROUP OF SOLDIERS TRYING TO ERECT A POLE TO PUT UP A FLAD... THE CAPTAIN SHOUTED,

"HEY, YOU THERE! GET DOWN FROM YOUR HORSE AND HELP US TO PUT THIS POLE IN PLACE!!"

GEORGE WASHINGTON GOT DOWN FROM HIS HORSE. HELPED TO PUT THE POLE IN PLACE.

THEN SALUTED THE CAPTAIN, "AT YOUR COMMAND, CAPTAIN, ANYTIME YOU NEED MY HELP....YOUR GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON"

GEORGE WASHINGTON, THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF USA SET AN EXAMPLE OF SERVITUDE FOR HIS NATION.


THE FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY...JESUS CHRIST ONCE TAUGHT HIS APOSTLES WHEN THEY WERE FUGHTING FOR POSITIONS.

JESUS TOOK A TOWEL AND A BASIN OF WATER AND BEND DOWN TO WASH THE DISCIPLES' FEET ONE BY ONE.

WHEN THEY WERE ASHAMED AND PROTESTED HE TOLD THEM THAT IF THEY WANT TO BE GREAT THEY MUST LEARN TO SERVE.

AND TO BE THE GREATEST OF ALL MEANS THEY MUST BE THE SERVANTS OF ALL.

SO HE WHO SERVES THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL IS THE GREATEST. NOT ONE WHO LORD OVER OTHERS.
