Is This History or His Story?

By Masterwordsmith

Many historians would probably not usually have incited in their graves, though would have miraculously risen from a dead had they examination Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's statement here which pronounced Malaysian story as currently taught in schools was inaccurate. The motive he gave was which "it unsuccessful to provide correct context of a countrys quarrel for independence".

Having worked hard to achieve an A1 for my History @ MCE level, I feel deeply shocked which a former PM said:

Many from a younger era do not assimilate story as well as a origin of a nation, as there were attempts to alter chronological facts in to fantasy.

What???

Born upon 10th July 1925, TDM was Malaysia's longest portion Prime Minister carrying served 22 years from 1981 to 2003. With a political career which spanned almost 40 years, he never pronounced anything about this, especially since he was Minister of Education from 1974-1978. If he truly has a gratification of a republic as well as a viewpoint of a 'younger generation' during heart, since did he keep quiet when he had a political platform to do it then? Why is he making such a serious claim which puts most in to a quandary with regards to their credit as well as expertise after EIGHT YEARS of retirement? Did he usually JUST see a 'light'? Why now?

Is TDM thus doubt a effectiveness of a Ministry of Education as well as all a past Ministers of Education including:

TDM himself who was Minister of Education 1974-1978 (Read this)
Y.B. Tan Sri Musa Bin Hitam (1978-1981)
Y.B. Tan Sri Amar D! r.Sulaim an Bin Hj.Daud (1981-198! 4)
Y. A.B. Dato Seri Abdullah Bin Hj.Ahmad Badawi (1984-1986)
Y.B. Dato' Seri Anwar Bin Ibrahim (1986-1991)
Y.B. Tan Sri Amar Dr.Sulaiman Bin Hj.Daud (1991-1995)
Y.A.B Dato' Sri Mohd. Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak (1995-1999)
Y.B. Tan Sri Dato' Seri Musa Bin Mohammad (1999-2004)
Y.B. Dato' Sri Hishamuddin garbage bin Tun Hussein (2004-2009)
Y.A.B Tan Sri Dato' Haji Muhyiddin garbage bin Mohd Yassin (2009 - kini) (Source: This site)

With his ultimate outburst, he has practically rewritten story which you have learnt. It is His Story!

Does this meant famous historians, textbook writers, story majors in universities, training staff during universities/schools/colleges as well as higher institutions of learning together with students, graduates etc have to UNLEARN all which they have learnt/written or studied since this 'fantasy' was usually highlighted NOW?

And it has taken Dr Mahathir THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS to highlight this 'fantasy' issue.

Who is a a single vital in a world of 'fantasy' all this while?

The Malaysian Insider report additionally settled which "National Professors Council (MPN) has taken a discuss serve by claiming which Malaya, a predecessor to Malaysia, was never colonised by a British Empire as well as had merely been a protectorate."

The report additionally settled which Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Khaled Nordin pronounced a stream History synopsis in schools was in need of review. Why?

According to TDM, The supervision needs to focus upon what unequivocally transpired so which papers upon a country's story would not be influenced by stream political interests... History is all about what had happened, as well as you cannot change that... whatever happened in a past, had happened."

By which measure, is he doubt a credit as well as veracity of a functions of Frank Swettenham,Joginder Singh Jessy, DJ Tate, D.G.E. Hall as well as other notable historians who have created story books which have been a synopsis for Malaysian schools for decades?

The fact which a years after a Japanese surrendered, a British Military administration department ruled Malaya proves which it was a British as well as not Malayan government. Whose face is upon a following stamp? I rest my case.


So what is it which unequivocally needs to be changed? Change is IMPERATIVE! Let's make it occur during a subsequent GE!!
