The narcissistic distain for other cultures was recently displayed when a school principal veep of an ultra- Malay party demanded that Chinese New Year decorations be removed from the school.
It's high time to break up the fallacies that are hindering the pursuit of nationhood. These include the fallacy that public enterprise can do what private enterprise can’t do. This is where the elite have gained their ill-gotten wealth and most state economic development corporations, and their subsidiaries are bedrocks of corruption.
Malay culture is quickly being killed off by the Arab fallacy. Malay and other indigenous cultures originated from three distinct sources. Those indigenous to Tanah Melayu (the Malay Peninsula), Sabah and Sarawak, those who migrated to Malaysia from the Nusantara archipelago, and those who migrated to Malaysia while the Sultanates were riverine rather than territorially defined. Some of the migrants from outside of Nusantara over the centuries from China and South Asia formed a unique Baba culture that has co-existed with Malay culture for centuries. Once, Malays, Chinese, Indians and the other peoples of Malaysia celebrated Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Christmas, and Deepavali together as a symbol of unity, this is now forbidden.
URGENT: MUST BAR WOLF IN SHEEP SKIN FROM ATTENDING OR OFFICIATING ANY SPORT EVENTS ( BEWARE: DANGER WHICH INNOCENT SPORTY KIDS ARE NOT AWARE OF)
While we enjoy watching gymnastic to ease our own mental stress from our vocational or professional work, there are certain kinds of people who are virtually wolves in sheep skin.
Ignobly and sinfully, they lustfully scheming the sport person's physical bodies, instead of seeing the sportmanship inside them.
No one can be certained of any amount of psychotherapy or cognitive behavioural can be of help to this like-minded group of people.
Conclusion, they must be barred from attending, watching or officiating any sport event. There is no two ways about this.
Still need more and more and endless study??? : Man's talk - STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
When the people choose NAJIB's party over pH, something must be very, very damned wrong. They would rather swim in a pool of poop than to be belittled with the rubbish that Mhathir and his bodoh sombong gang are throwing at them. The PM's arrogance has reached breaking point and pH's supporters ARE FED UP.
1. Decent education from well established paper mills, fully funded by the Public Service Department, Mara or some other government agency, heavy exposure to wahabugs and salaflukes from young
A critical thinker is able to deduce consequences from what he knows, and he knows how to make use of information to solve problems, and to seek relevant sources of information to inform himself wihout a busybody second or third party. Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime!
Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally about what to do or what to believe. It includes the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. Someone with critical thinking skills is able to do the following :
understand the logical connections between ideas identify, construct and evaluate arguments detect inconsistencies and common mistakes in reasoning solve problems systematically identify the relevance and importance of ideas reflect on the justification of one's own beliefs and values
Good critical thinking is the foundation of science and democracy. Science requires the critical use of reason in experimentation and theory confirmation. The proper functioning of a liberal democracy requires citizens who can think critically about social issues to inform their judgments about proper governance and to overcome biases and prejudice.
Critical thinking is a domain-general thinking skill. The ability to think clearly and rationally is important whatever we choose to do. If you work in education, research, finance, management or the legal profession, then critical thinking is obviously important. But critical thinking skills are not restricted to a particular subject area. Being able to think well and solve problems systematically is an asset for any career.
A thoughtful attorney from San Antonio, Tex., wrote recently to ask, “Is there an intellectually honest Christian evolutionist position? Or do we simply have to check our brains at the church house door?” The answer is, you indeed have to check your brains. Why do scientists, university graduates and all the learned ones publicly deny the implications of modern science, and promulgate the compatibility of religion and science? Wishful thinking, religious training, and intellectual dishonesty are the underlying factors?
Standard One just need to learn Socratic Method of questioning (cultivate curiosita), Plato's Cave ( the habit of thinking out-of-the-box) ans Epicurus (systematic examination of factual claims)
A recent study that Medical News Today reported on found that religion activates the same reward-processing brain circuits as sex, drugs, and other addictive activities.
Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel. Stop wasting public fund by funding rote learning - 'filling of vessel' paper mills, substandard learning institutions and fake schools.
Without meritocracy, mediocrity and poverty prevail
1. If you are going to reinstate, that across the board, the medium of instruction for Maths and Science will be in English, then you are going to have to find teachers proficient enough in English to handle this. To that end, it means retraining. There is no need to rush off and form expensive deals which will involve bringing in expatriates to do the job or sending our teachers overseas for courses. I actually wrote an open letter to Maszlee more than a year ago to let him know that there are solutions right here. I offered my services, even then. All you need to do is set up a register of retired teachers and use them to conduct inservice courses, beginning like yesterday. These teachers can come under the direct purview of the MOE. I can come up with a list of excellent former English Language teachers whom I am personally willing to train to carry out the training of these teachers. I’m good at what I do. I’m ready to stake my reputation and my commitment to excellence on this.
2. Address the “ anxieties and fragility” of the Malays ( your own words, by the way), and their ridiculous worry in response to Dong Zong’s plan for a conference to discuss the forced inclusion of Jawi calligraphy into an already crowded syllabus. Also, just a little aside before I continue. “If you spend most of your life having your racial identity and supremacy enforced rather than have them deconstructed”, as Marcus Woolombi Waters laments, “you will see a way through, instead of adding to the fear”. Maybe, you might want to read through some of his works. It may give you an insight into, say, the likes of Trump. Or maybe, don’t go there at all. You might source more Malay “anxieties and fragilities” than we have room or time for.
3. Anyways, since a cabinet decision has already been made about it, keep Jawi in as an elective. No one really cares. I learnt Jawi....I have never used it since. My children learnt Jawi. They have never used it since. Also, neither I or my children have embraced Islam because we learnt Jawi. Its inclusion only became an issue, when the issue was oversimplified along racial lines and compounded by the stupid rhetoric around vernacular schools. One has nothing to do with the other. You of all people know that. Since you now are in a position to do something about this ‘boohaha’, then do so. By the way, doing away with vernacular schools is just cutting your nose to spite your face. The Malay parents who have enrolled their children into these schools are going to get real pissy if they close. Better you be sure you have an alternative worthy of producing scholars of meritocracy. And no, our Sekolah Kebangsaan is not the answer. You know these have become ‘Medan Dakwa’ in many cases. Sigh!
