PPSMI ... life should move forward

Kuala Lumpur
Wednesday 8th July, 2009

"... Cabinet has decided that the medium of instruction for Maths and Science will revert to Bahasa Malaysia in national schools and mother-tongue languages in national-type schools from 2012 onwards ..."
“... only 19.2% of secondary teachers and 9.96% of primary teachers were sufficiently proficient in English ...”.

when will our policy makers ever learn?! not during our lifetime i guess. hell, even a 2 year old can tell you that cars cannot move without wheel or you cannot make ice kacang without the ice ... why do it in the first place when you know the teachers will not be able to do it?

our leaders always like to take 1 step forward and 2 steps back ... come on, man ... stop messin' with our kids' lives and future. please la for once, do it for the kids' sake and not for some political mumbo jumbo!

ciao carlito!

carlos tevez
aug '07 - june '09
Kes merajuk ... in the end nobody wins. one of the hardest working player on the field. scored some crucial goals. won the champions league in 2008, the world club cup, 2 premier league titles in a row (season 07/08 and 08/09) and a carling cup in 2009 with the red devils. not bad an achievement. now decided to quit despite united matching the permanent transfer deal + making him one of the highest paid player at the club.
well whether it was him or his agent, apache is now no longer a united player. he has signed for the blue-half of manchester. carlos tevez is now part of the blues' revolution under another former united great, mark 'sparky' hughes.
the blues is blue-printing their revolution based on the path taken by chelsea few years back. they are using money to buy them success. tevez among others will have robinho, santa cruz, adebayor and barry as company. however beware, instead of emulating chelsea ... you can become leeds united instead!
so, good luck to you tevez (and sparky too)!
