Math and Science: It is the concept, not the language but is it really?

Lately, it is engaging to note a change in mount by a PPSMI-proponents generally, as well as PAGE specifically.

No, not which they someway understand a unsteadiness of their debate in reintroducing PPSMI in Malaysian schools, though rsther than a refocusing upon their raison d'tre - from arguing which PP! SMI will improve a standard of English in Malaysian schools - to a evidence which PPSMI will help to commission a nation in a margin of Science as well as Mathematics.

Don't skip a timberland for a trees

Firstly, it is value noting which upon PAGE's website - http://www.pagemalaysia.org - there is no specific as well as transparent design regarding a citation or a 'fight' undertaken by a body, usually a extended goal matter which a body acts as a height for relatives to voice their concerns regarding educational issues.

With this very extended statement, it is rare why PAGE chooses to reason up a PPSMI cause when there have been alternative pressing 'educational issues' which warrant higher attention.

How about a emanate of a abating peculiarity of educators as well as teachers which have been a fortitude of a country's education system?

How about a abating appeal of teaching as contention of choice by a splendid as well as talented?

How about a unsound synopsis fed to a students which ill-prepare them for a challenges in university as well as additionally in a working world?

How about a outdated rote-learning methodology still used in classrooms currently which kills critical-thinking as well as inquisitivity amongst propagandize children today?

Be lieve me when you say which a country's education complement is rotten to a core, as well as those 4 concerns highlighted above hardly being a tip of a proverbial iceberg.

Thus, it is rare which PAGE focuses a hard work as well as attention upon something of less significance such as denunciation of instruction, when a underlying causes of a spoil have been not even since a cursory glance.

Perhaps it's a classical case of 'missing a timberland for a trees'?

Its a concepts, not a language

Back to a main point - will guidance Mathematics as well as Science in English empowers a country's pursuit of value in those dual fields?

To argue this point it is impending which you understand which to surpass in these dual subjects at a propagandize level, it is of utmost significance which a single is rarely skilful in a bargain of a concepts as well as principles.

Take a most basic judgment of Mathematics - a numbers. It is easy to memorize a numbers in it denunciation form - despite in English or any alternative denunciation - though to understand a judgment of numbers is another different thing altogether. The judgment of what a series represents, a mathematical usage as well as practical place of numbers in a daily life.

Perhaps you should go reduce to something more basic than numbers - a judgment of 'zero'. Seems simple, though try explaining a judgment of 'zero' to preschoolers or even early primary students. Even those of a teaching contention will find it hard to articulate their bargain of a judgment 'zero' to those brand new to a subject.

Even creation it harder is perplexing to insist this elementary yet essential judgment in a denunciation unknown to a children.

Hence, it is in my view, which to surpass in these dual rarely technical subjects, a single must be means to reason a clever sense of a concepts as well as beliefs dominant in a guidance of Science as well as Mathematics. And there is no easier way to understand ! these th an to sense a students in their mom tongue, as a oft-quoted UNESCO study suggests.

English prowess overrated

Perhaps, a single competence argue - what happens when a students go to university, as well as to a single which uses English as middle of instruction?

Here is where their prowess of a English denunciation will be tested. When you say 'prowess' it mean a altogether strength in a whole language, as well as not necessarily a jargons as well as terms singular to those dual subjects.

To demonstrate - a student, who learns Mathematics as well as Science in Bahasa Melayu as well as scores 100% in both papers, will really onslaught in a full-English environment, if someway he or she usually scores a bare minimum in a English paper.

Also - a tyro who learns Mathematics as well as Science in Bahasa Melayu as well as scores 100% in both as well as combined with a 100% measure upon a English theme will really find it a zephyr when guidance a dual subjects in English after in university.

How about a medium-grade tyro of Science as well as Mathematics , who is incidentally a product of PPSMI - will guidance a dual subjects in English during a propagandize years spin him or her from a middle grade tyro to an glorious a single in a full-English guidance environment?

Therein lies a problem - it is rsther than judicious to deduce which it is not a denunciation of citation which dictates a success achieved in guidance a subject, though it is more upon a bargain of a concepts as well as beliefs in whatever denunciation which a subjects have been delivered.

Minimal effort

Simply - master a concepts. A change in a middle of citation will usually require a minimal bid for a smart to sojourn successful.

Thus, a unsteadiness in a citation taken by PAGE and! a pro ponents of PPSMI in championing a teaching of Science as well as Mathematics in English. To me it! is tran sparent which a students will respond improved when guidance these dual subjects in their mom tongue, to illustrate leading to improved awaiting for a nation in these dual arena.

It is of no make use of to sense both theme in English usually since 'the anxiety books have been in English' or whatever excuses thrown by a PPSMI proponents when guidance them in English might cause a concepts being mislaid upon a bewildered thoughts unknown with a language.

Perhaps, it is time for PAGE to ! re-exami ne a citation as well as objectives, additionally a fight it chooses to undertake. Perhaps there have been more impending 'educational issues' requiring a grunt as well as stability demonstrated by PAGE, rsther than than wasting a bid upon a process which is rambling in both a inception as well as implementation, as well as controversial in a achievements.

How about restoring a peculiarity of a teaching contention - isn't it a nobler cause to fight for?

A change in the balance of power in Manchester?

OCT 29 What a week end which was. Unless you've been vital underneath a rock, you've substantially heard a hugely shocking headlines which Manchester United lost 6-1 during home to their normal enemies Manchester City. Yes, you read which right, it was 6-1, as well as it was during Old Trafford.

If you're not a follower of a English Premier League (EPL), I'm certain which bit of headlines still managed to strech your radar by a normal media channels, or even from fans of alternative EPL clubs taunting Manchester United fans, as well as of march from Manchester City fans themselves.

When a bar has been as incredibly successful as Manchester United has been in a EPL era, it is healthy for a little fans of alternative clubs to get sick of saying a same group winning over as well as over again, nonetheless it is additionally healthy to have a little fair-weather fans join a Manchester United band of soldiers whose usually reason for being appear to be to swank about how great their bar is, so much so which you'd consider which they're essentially a Manchester United players who sweated as well as fought for all a glory.

That is because Manchester United fans generally have a bad reputation between fans of alternative clubs, even nonetheless there are additionally outrageous sections of their fandom who are ideally in accord with as well as humble people as well as who usually adore a football being played, nonetheless being a receptive people which they are, they will never be as shrill as a shrill as well as repulsive "glory hunters", so it's a excellence hunters who are unfortunately a "face" as well as "voice" of Manchester United fans to most normal people.

So final Sunday's 6-1 outcome (God, how you adore writing which scoreline over as well as over again!) was simply poetic to all us non-Manchester United fans usually to see a reaction of a "glory hunters." Not usually did their group remove to a "noisy neighbours", nonetheless they were humiliated by which unimagi! nable sc oreline, as well as all this during home in front of their very own fans.

After years of suffering upon a partial having to listen to a "glory hunters" swank as well as swank endlessly, it's pleasing to see them dumbfounded in to silence, as well as struggling to come up with sore excuses for a degrading loss.

Some in a media have even resolutely claimed which this earth-shattering outcome signals a seismic shift in a change of football energy in Manchester, as well as by a same import in a EPL, as Manchester City has, for a final two seasons in jeopardy to break in to a top two with hundreds of millions of pounds being invested in to their group by their rich owners.

Their considerable start to this season, which has seen their players eventually gelling together as a cohesive unit, has done a lot of people consider which winning a EPL this deteriorate is not a fantastic proposition anymore.

Couple which with a shrill chorus which "one of these days Manchester United will get a pasting because of their shaky counterclaim as well as soothing centre of a midfield" that's been ringing for a final integrate of matches, afterwards this outcome can even appear inevitable. Against Liverpool they were poor, nonetheless even opposite Norwich they were lucky because if Norwich had striking firepower of somewhat better calibre, Manchester United competence have even got a shelling then.

Of march if you've been watching a Manchester derby, when it was 11 vs 11 players in a first half, Manchester United didn't do which bad as it was honestly a dull match with both teams personification with counsel as well as mostly battling it out in a center of a park. Manchester City forged out usually a single event nonetheless done it equate by branch it in to a goal.

But sitting behind as well as watchful to counter conflict is a sensible plan when you're a divided team, especially during a ground as tough as Old Trafford. It was Manchester United who were somewhat unsatisfactory for u! nwell to test Joe Hart in any serious manner in a first half, nonetheless still a approach they played in which first half may during worse outcome in a draw, which still wouldn't be as well bad.

Starting a second half utterly brightly as well as with some-more attacking impetus, Manchester United practically shot themselves in a foot when Jonny Evans was handed a red card for a silly foul, as well as with a single man reduction as well as in their attempts to find a idea to during least salvage a point, they were left horribly exposed during a behind opposite attacking antithesis of City's quality.

Even as a non-United fan, you wouldn't put as well much batch upon this outcome signalling a shift in a change of energy yet, as manager Sir Alex Ferguson has won a EPL with even worse teams than a a single he has this year. And I'm certain he gave a full hairdryer diagnosis to all those players who seemed to have given up when there were still around 10 some-more mins to play opposite City.

For all you know things competence even be behind to normal come December when a games raise up, as Ferguson has prolonged utilised this busy partial of a football calendar to catch up upon a little points opposite his rivals. But for now, during least, you can suffer a sound from a noisy neighbours, as well as a pleasing overpower from a "glory hunters."

Operasi bersepadu yang telah dilaksanakan bagi mencegah kegiatan maksiat dan pelacuran di kawasan Perumahan terutamanya di limau Manis yang merupakan kegiatan yang selalu diambil tindakan oleh pihak berwajib. Antara jabatan yang sentiasa mengadakan operasi di kawasan ini iaitu pihak Polis D7, JAHEAIK, MPKB-BRI dan IMIGRESEN.

Walaubagaimanapun kegiatan ini tidak dapat dibendung secara total kerana kebanyakan pelacur-pelacur mengulangi kesalahan yang sama walaupun mereka telah dihantar pulang ke negara mereka di Thailand.

Pihak JAHEAIK juga mengakui telah ramai dikalangan pelacur di kawasan tersebut di tangkap dan dikenakan hukuman,! namun m ereka tidak serik walaupun telah dikenakan hukuman yang berat oleh pihak Mahkamah Syariah.

Pihak Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu Bandar Raya Islam pula sentiasa memantau kawasan ini khususnya pada malam malam operasi mingguan yang diadakan. Pelacur-pelacur yang ditangkap pernah dibawa ke pejabat Jabatan Pembangunan Islam untuk diberi kaunseling dan nasihat agar mereka menghentikan aktiviti terkutuk ini. Namun ibarat air dicurah ke daun keladi nasihat-nasihat ini tidak diendahkan oleh mereka. Kegiatan maknyah di kawasan tersebut juga pernah ditangkap dan diserahkan kepada pihak JAHEAIK untuk diambil tindakan lanjut.

Untuk membenteras kegiatan ini amat sulit kerana mereka dilindungi oleh tonto yang diupah oleh pelacur itu sendiri dan tidak kurang juga yang melakukan maksiat diluar kawasan ini dimana mereka dibawa oleh pelanggan dengan menggunakan kenderaan peribadi yang amat sukar untuk diekori.

Justeru itu operasi bersepadu yang telah dilaksanakan sebelum ini perlu dipergiatkan kembali pada tahun ini demi memastikan Bandar Kota Bharu benar-benar bersih daripada kegiatan terkutuk ini.

Laporan Operasi Pada 13.02.2011:

- Pada jam 9.30 malam 10.30 malam, anggota operasi telah pergi ke sebuah rumah kayu dua tingkat milik individu yang berlamat No.2660 E, Lrg. Limau Manis Jalan Hamzah Kota Bharu. Rumah ini telah disewakan kepada ibu ayam dan bilik-biliknya disewakan kepada pelacur. Anggota operasi telah menjumpai seorang perempuan warga Thailand yang disyaki pelacur cuba melarikan diri tapi berjaya ditahan. Anggota operasi memeriksa bilik-bilik di tingkat bawah dan tingkat atas dan telah menjumpai beberapa kondom yang telah digunakan.

- Tepat jam 10.45malam, pegawai operasi telah beralih ke D'Relax Station Jln. Zainal Abidin. Anggota operasi memeriksa premis berkenaan dan mendapati tidak ada pelanggan yang beragama islam yang berada di dalam premis ini. Yang ada hanya twenty orang pelanggan yang bukan! islam s edang minum minuman beer. Lebih kurang sepuluh minit, Mereka telah meningglkan premis tersebut. Anggota operasi telah membuat pemeriksaan dan telah menyita kerusi, meja dan 1 peti (24 botol) minuman keras jenama Carlsberg kerana premis ini tidak ada lesen untuk berniaga dan menyediakan minuman keras.

- Jam 11.30malam, anggota operasi telah bergerak ke Cyber Caf PT.266 Tkt Atas, Jalan Merbau Kota Bharu. Premis ini sudah beroperasi selama dua bulan dan masih belum mempunyai lessen sah MPKB-BRI ketika serbuan dilakukan. Terdapat twenty orang pengunjung dalam premis tersebut yang keseluruhannya remaja berbangsa cina. Mengikut maklumat yang diterima, premis ini menjadi tempat perjudian dan telah dikhususkan kepada pelanggan yang tetap sahaja. Pihak MPKB-BRI telah berjaya menyita sebanyak 23 unit komputer.

- Jam 12.30 malam : Anggota operasi telah berada di Ralphs Laueren Bestro yang beralamat s/9-A-01-06 Pelangi Mall Jalan Pasar Lama Kota Bharu. Tarikh tamat lesen pada 31.12.2010. Anggota operasi telah Berjaya menyita sebanyak twenty-seven unit (shisha) dan telah mengkompaun premis ini atas kesalahan tidak mempunyai lesen yang sah (shisha).

- Pada jam 1.15pagi : Anggota operasi telah membuat pemeriksaan untuk kali kedua yang beralamat No.2660 D&E, Lrg. Limau Manis Jalan Hamzah Kota Bharu. Anggota operasi membuat pemeriksaan di setiap dalam kawasan rumah yang pemiliknya tidak ada. Cuma yang berada di dalam rumah tersebut hanya ada anak. Anggota operasi melakukan pemeriksaan di setiap bilik dalam rumah tersebut dan telah menjumpai beberapa jenis VCD dan gambar-gambar lucah.

Selepas itu tiada laporan mengenai sebarang operasi baru oleh MPKB-BRI yang seolah-olah telah melepas tangan dan mengakui bahawa aktiviti tidak bermoral yang ditentang keras oleh Nik Aziz itu pasti akan berulang lagi, maklumlah bak respon penyokong-penyokong mereka, 'Di Mekah Pun Ada Aktiviti Pelacuran'.

Apakah MPKB-BRI hanya melakukan operasi bersepadu set! iap kali blog Kickdefella membuat pendedahan? Ini kerana operasi pada thirteen Februari 2011 adalah respons kepada pendedahan aktiviti maksiat yang didakwa oleh pihak yang terbabit sebagai 'aktiviti yang dilindungi oleh MPKB-BRI'. 'Dilindungi' itu cukup subjektif maknanya. Adalah mustahil mempercayai bahawa MPKB-BRI tergamak melindungi aktiviti tersebut.

Tetapi ini tidak semestinya MPKB-BRI tidak perlu mencari siapakah yang terbabit 'melindungi' aktiviti tersebut atau menggalakkan amalan 'tutup sebelah mata'.

Atau mungkin kerana sikap pahat dengan pemukul di MPKB-BRI?

Pada hari Isnin akan datang, blog Kickdefella akan mendedahkan video Operasi Johnson II yang membuktikan MPKB-BRI telah gagal mengurangkan kegiatan pelacuran di Kelantan, sejak pendedahan pada Februari yang lalu.

"I have told them which I'll be in attendance as chairman of Bersih 2.0," pronounced Ambiga. "However they wish to describe me is up to them."

EPL dream team: The best of Manchester reserves

OCT twenty-nine The impulse for this essay comes from a Tottenham Hotspur fan in Malaysia. During an online chat session upon a Spurs supporters' website, this fan, who carried a online moniker St Helder, drew courtesy to both a Manchester clubs' pot dais during their big clash during Old Trafford final Sunday.

He suggested which a Manchester United as well as Manchester City benches would have a challenging group by themselves as well as which such a total group could have a clever plea in a Premiership too.

And why not? After all, a description of both teams' multi-million bruise haven players will be sufficient to shake up a English Premier League (EPL) as well as even take upon a likes of Chelsea, let alone a rest of a Premiership.

United's haven group goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has proven which he has a peculiarity as well as capability to plea first-choice David de Gea for a spot between a posts as well as is even comparable to City's Joe Hart.

He has already played in multiform matches in a Champions League this deteriorate as well as competence even be insulted being only a haven goalkeeper over time as well as come to bewail not relocating for more regular football elsewhere.

At centreback, Argentina's Pablo Zabaleta has turn a personal favourite of mine because a South American nation has a convention of producing peculiarity defenders.

He is purify as well as solidly in effect in a approach he covers during a back. Additionally, he likes to do overlapping runs to help out in attack as well as definitely is a player with a clever winning genius as well as spirit inside of him.

Also upon a dais in final Sunday's Manchester derby was Alexandar Kolarov. The Serbian is a doggedly persistent defender whilst additionally possessing a clever left foot, especially when taking free kicks.

The span of Phil Jones as well as Kolo Toure in a centre of counterclaim creates for an preferred partnership as it is a combination of a immature up-! and-comi ng player with an experienced player who has won a league prior to whilst personification for Arsenal.

Jones is a player with flair as well as stylish control of a round notwithstanding being a defender. He is additionally bold sufficient to go upon a offensive.

Toure, upon a other hand, was a pillar during a heart of a City counterclaim prior to he was dangling from personification for allegedly immoderate a criminialized substance, pronounced to be a performance-enhancing drug. He still hasn't reclaimed his place in a initial group since returning from a ban.

Such a line of counterclaim comprising Toure, Jones, Kolarov as well as Zabaleta will be formidable to be breached by any group in Europe, let alone a EPL.

In midfield, carrying a world-class player such as Nigel de Jong as a defensive midfielder, upheld by Park Ji-sung upon a left wing as well as Antonio Valencia upon a right wing is a mental condition choice for me.

Then, if you add a agile Samir Nasri as a playmaker, this group will be strengthened simply by carrying one of a best players in a world as a mastermind pulling a strings from a middle of a pitch.

In attack, strikers Javier Hernandez as well as Edin Dzeko will bring different qualities to every game though combined, they will poise a variety of problems to opponents.

Hernandez has his discerning runs to find space as well as emanate danger whilst Dzeko, as targetman, will simply produce goals from any corner of a world.

To summarise, a starting choice for this all hypothetical Manchester Ci-nited group of second stringers could be as follows in a 4-3-1-2 formation: Lindegaard; Zabaleta, Jones, Toure, Kolarov; Valencia, de Jong, Ji Sung; Nasri; Dzeko, Hernandez.

Such a group is more than able of carrying a shot during a EPL title... provided no one gets harmed of course.

James Madison - By Richard Brookhiser - Book Review

No one would ever have in error James Madison for George Washington. Short, scrawny as great as sickly, he suffered from a anxiety neurosis which assured him he would lead conjunction a prolonged nor a healthy life. He was a miserable open orator who tended to lapse into inaudible mumbling, as great as great into his career as a politician, he continued to cringe back in horror during a thought of going out upon a branch as great as putting upon "an electioneering appearance."

James Madison

JAMES MADISON

By Richard Brookhiser

287 pp. Basic Books. $ 26.99.

In sequence to view this feature, we contingency download a ultimate version of peep player here.

True, he had a powerful intellect, though compared with which of his more amiable friend as great as nearby resident Thomas Jefferson, Madison's egghead appetite, fixed as it was upon domestic story as great as theory, seemed narrow, circumscribed. All in all, he would be an doubtful candidate for success in our own, media-dominated domestic world. Perhaps a professor of story or domestic speculation during a university which didn't require much teaching. But one of a many influential politicians of his generation? Hardly.

Richard Brookhiser, a comparison editor during National Review as great as a writer of 10 previous books, sees over a man's personal frailties in "James Madison." For Brookhiser, Madison was "the Father of Politics. He lived in his head, though his conduct was regularly endangered with cr! eation h is cherished thoughts real." This Madison is no ivory tower prude but, rather, a relentless as great as immensely successful statesman who put all of his heavy-duty thinking to great use.

Despite his pessimistic predictions about his longevity, Madison lived to a age of 85. From a time which he graduated from Princeton in 1771 until his early retirement from a presidency in 1817, he devoted himself to governing body and, in particular, to a building of a American nation. In this short, breezily written biography, Brookhiser attempts to cover all of a major events of Madison's open career.

This is no tiny feat, for Madison was involved in scarcely each domestic controversy as great as decision of his age: he was Thomas Jefferson's indispensable fan in a struggle for eremite liberty in insubordinate Virginia; he served tirelessly as a delegate to a Continental Congress during a many perplexing years of a Revolutionary War; he is deservedly remembered as "the Father of a Constitution"; he was a principal, despite reluctant, writer of what would turn our sovereign Bill of Rights; as a budding organizer of a Jeffersonian Republican Party, he was in many ways a contriver of a really thought of a complicated celebration system; he served as President Jefferson's cabinet member of state as great as many trusted adviser; finally, as a wartime president, Madison had to endure not usually a burning of Washington, though additionally dispute as great as intrigue within his own celebration as great as beyond.

The volume of grant chronicling these events is immense, as great as although Brookhiser is rather sparing in acknowledging his debts to historians who have preceded him, his sprightly narrative will serve as an entertaining introduction for those who are creation their first acquaintance with Madison. Moreover, Brookhiser's book is a useful corrective to a little of a recent functions in a fields of domestic science as great as law which place extreme emphasis upon Madison a theorist.

While Brookhiser respects a peculiarity of Madison's intellect, he is more interested in Madison a politician, reduction endangered with a coherence of Madison's thought than with Madison's ability as an activist. As an avid observer of a hyperpartisan domestic environment of our own age, Brookhiser uses Madison's often tumultuous career to remind us which day-to-day governing body have never been really pretty. Anyone involved in a domestic wars as prolonged as great as as in cold blood as Madison was certainly bound to have a couple of missteps, as great as a couple of enemies, along a way. But Brookhiser effectively argues which Madison, by melding his believe of domestic speculation with shrewd domestic instincts, deserves a place tighten to a tip of a list of America's many successful politicians.

Richard Beeman's books embody "Plain, Honest Men: The Making of a American Constitution" as great as "The Penguin Guide to a United States Constitution."

Zahid urged a antithesis to stop doubt a ministrys need to outlay on brand new assets. File pic

KUALA LUMPUR, October twenty-eight Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi today said a Royal Malaysian Air Force will buy brand new aviation ground await vehicles (AGSV) subsequent year as a existent fleet was apropos too costly to maintain.

The infancy of AGSV are old as well as need to be replaced. The Auditor-Generals Report obviously shows a vicious need for a brand new assets, a counterclaim minister was quoted by Bernama Online today.

I think you will replace a vehicles subsequent year regulating existent allocations as you have to belong to certain ceilings in our budget, a inform quoted him further.

Zahid afterwards urged a federal antithesis not to subject his ministrys need to outlay on brand new resources during times of peace, observant a Auditor-Generals inform should open their eyes to reality.

The Defence Ministrys output has come underneath repeated inspection by Pakatan Rakyat (PR), which has continually sought explanations for a multi-billion counterclaim deals involving a ministry.

The ultimate was a query as to why a ministry paid RM7.6 billion for armoured crew carriers (APC) procured by DRB-Hicom Bhd for only US$559 million (RM1.7 billion).

A RM6 billion stipulate for six offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) drew similar courtesy at a start of a year.

An annoying failure by a single of a countrys billion-ringgit Scorpene submarines to plunge last year attracted serve reservations over a anticipation of a countrys counterclaim spending.

While a supervision maintains which such contracts must be personal as a make a difference of inhabitant security, PR has insisted which Malaysians have a right to know how public funds were being outlayed since a ministrys history of cost overruns.

Anti-graft watchdog Transparency International-Malaysia (TI-M) h! as addit ionally urged a supervision to stop to regulating inhabitant confidence as an excuse for a secrecy which ends up stealing graft involving counterclaim contracts, as well as consider appointing independent monitors for such deals.

Im 25, Malaysian. Should I give up on Malaysia?

by Alex Lee
Friday, twenty-eight Oct 2011

My brand new trip behind to Malaysia done me realize a miss of domestic awareness in a country. Business owners, working individuals, family as well as friends have probably since up trying, or simply not wish to court nonessential trouble. They go upon to protest of a government's incompetence. But simply complaining will take us nowhere.

Only abusers as well as authoritarians, who do not wish to hear a truth as well as how you feel wish us to be silent, permitting them to go upon spendthrift a nation's coffers as well as they be left unpunished. Countless loopholes in a legislations have been making a abounding even richer, as well as a bad to go upon to suffer.

A elementary e.g. is a genuine estate incident in Malaysia. Housing has turn impossible for brand new starters to own, with a unaffordability standards during an all-time high. Yet, a abounding have been still means to go upon reaping gains from a market, inflating prices, causing houses to be even some-more as well as some-more unaffordable. In a rural areas, people have been struggling to entrance basic needs such as water as well as electricity, not to discuss basic healthcare.

Malaysia has an implausible pool of talent, as well as I would attest to that, carrying gone to school with many of them. Unfortunately there has been a continuous brain drain from a country; as well as these have been intellectuals with tertiary-level education. The outflow of bent has not been suited with equal as well as compatible inflow, to illustrate deleterious a quality of Malaysia's slight skills base.

54% of a brain drain can be traced to Singapore, 15% to Australia, 10% to a US, as well as 5% to a UK, ensuing in Malaysia's economic expansion rate to tumble to an normal of 5% pa. Major push factors include corruption, amicable inequality as well ! as miss of educational freedom.

Malaysia is right away during a unique moment in a history. For a initial time, there's a extended realisation which a nation contingency move in a brand new direction.

Malaysia is fortunate to have a little good domestic leaders, who have done outrageous sacrifices, as well as facing large allegations, have been still standing clever to fight an additional day for a country. They have shown us a way as well as since us goal to deliver a loyal essence of a democracy.

We have been upon a verge of being means to have a good shift to a nation in a next entrance election, but will it be possible but a support from all of us?

Is it important for Malaysians to realize which any of us have a role to play in formulating a Malaysia you can be unapproachable of? We live in Malaysia, as well as you love Malaysia. Malaysia has so much potential, as well as so much unique diversity which if you have been means to understanding with all a grouses as well as displeasure which people verbalise about, you would be a world-class country.

But you contingency act. Our communities contingency be remade as well as turn independent, action communities which perhaps one day there is no need or a reduced need for us to rely upon politicians. We need to set up a non-partisan, issue-based, youth-driven, community-centred height to foster larger ownership, participation as well as seek workable solutions to problems which start a communities.

We need to sense how to ask a right questions as well as have some-more informed choices in a daily lives. We need to have some-more carry out some-more of over a well-being rather than carrying "top-down" policies implemented upon us but a consent, tacit or otherwise.

Most of all, you need to claim a civil space for otherwise, ruthless, manipulative, racist elements will claim which space for us.

By which time, a repairs will be as well deeply embedded to concede any rescindable change. The time is now. We need to! activat e all Malaysians to expostulate a agenda for a better Malaysia.

Let us all unite as well as work towards formulating a society with integrity.

EC wants postal balloting to envelope more voters

A police officer casts his postal list forward of a Sarawak state election, April 13, 2011. File pic

IPOH, Oct 28 The Election Commission (EC) is mooting a extension of a postal or early choosing by casting votes systems to cover voters from a media, medical, airlines, as well as offshore oil as well as gas industries, according to a Bernama Online inform today.

We understand that some media groups are unable to cast their votes since avocation calls, so do you do nothing? Therefore, you feel changes should be done to concede postal or early voting, pronounced EC authority Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof was quoted as saying in a report.

According to Aziz, a suggestions will be lifted during hearings by a parliamentary select cabinet (PSC) on electoral reforms, that was formed by a Najib administration department following a tumultuous July 9 rally for free as well as fair elections organized by Bersih 2.0.

This offer will be discussed with a cabinet later. Actually, its not just a media that is affected though airlines personnel, a healing profession as well as oil rig workers too, Aziz added.

Postal ballots are currently available to members of a police as well as armed forces based outward their constituencies, as well as choosing workers involved in a polling process.

The early choosing by casting votes or allege choosing by casting votes complement was referred to by a EC in Jan last year as a probable replacement for postal ballots.

This latest offer to enlarge a range of a postal opinion is doubtful to be welcomed by either a federal opposition or a Bersih 2.0 movement.

Both have stressed a need to renovate a system, that they say is open to strategy as well as ballot-stuffing.

A restructuring of postal balloting is additionally one of a 8 electoral reform final done by Bersih.

The transformation has already indicted Putrajaya of stal! ling on electoral reforms, after a supervision refused to pledge land off on a subsequent ubiquitous choosing until a PSC recommendations can be implemented.

KDM Malaysia a desperate attempt to entice KDMs to Umno

By Daniel John Jambun

Datuk John Ambrose, as a founder as good as President of a newly registered KDM Malaysia (KDMM) has been making a lot of publicity about a brand new association. Immediately we can sense that, nonetheless it is an NGO, it is not your common type of voluntary organization. Firstly, it unashamedly declared which it series a single purpose is to get KDMs to await Umno. KDMM has no intention to go in to informative as good as identity preservation work for a KDMs. It aims especially to mangle a KDMs further by interesting them to Umno, i.e. divided from PBS, Upko, PBRS as good as a opposition. So Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan is right in saying it a apparatus of divide as good as order by Barisan Nasional.
The initial subject which comes to our thoughts when considering upon a honest as good as open stipulation by Ambrose is: Why a need for KDMM to assistance Umno? Can't Umno, upon its own credential as a domestic party, have sufficient attraction to tempt KDMs to stick on it? Does Umno Penampang believe which it can tempt firstly a people of Penampang to stick on Umno by removing them to love KDMM initial as good as afterwards after to love as good as embrace Umno? Does Ambrose believe he can make use of a same formula being used by PBS (to tempt people by removing them to stick on KDCA initial as good as afterwards stick on PBS)?

In May this year, after Ambrose belatedly shaped a Umno KDM Task Force to ingratiate himself to Umno, a Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth Secretary cum Kimanis Umno chief Mohamad bin Alamin not often made a harsh attack to discuss it Ambrose that, "Having a charge force in a celebration competence cause discord as good as emanate racial factions. It will additionally inspire alternative leaders from different ethnic groups in ! Umno as good as BN to emanate identical charge force to safeguard as good as offer their respective communities. Who knows competence be a Brunei or Bajau leaders additionally wish to establish a identical charge force organisation to ensure their rights have been additionally taken care of as good as such incident can lead to discord though us realising it." He pronounced a charge force was bootleg since it wasn't partial of a Umno Constitution as good as never got any sanction from a Umno Supreme Council. We can smell which Mohamad was sceptical since he couldn't form a Malay Task Force in Umno since it would demeanour ridiculous. Or was he fearful which Ambrose could enlarge his (Ambrose's) popularity as good much in Umno, ! as good as which Ambrose could turn as good critical as good as bigheaded? Isn't this a case of a condescending perspective upon a partial of Umno who must ensure a Malays keep being a seniors in a celebration as good as KDMs shouldn't try to be as good smart as good as overtake a dominant Malays who have been supposed to be from a larger competition of people?

Most importantly, Mohamad pointed out which "There is no need to have a Malaysia Umno KDM Task Force as having Sabah Umno here is already sufficient to meet a needs as good as interests of all races together with a KDM by a BN member parties." But many importantly he pointed there is NO NEED for a KDM Task Force in Umno. He additionally conveniently longed for a indicate which charge forces of various in advance groups in Umno would try to get await for Umno as good as not to compete for positions.

But right away which Ambrose has circumvented this silly criticism by Mohamad, as good as registering as good as announced KDMM, what can Mohamad contend anymore? Why doesn't he contend this is wrong since afterwards a Bajaus will right away have to form as good as register Bajau Malaysia, a Bruneis Brunei Malaysia, a Indonesians Indonesia Malaysia, a Suluks Suluk Mal! aysia as good as a Malays Malay Malaysia?

So distant no Umno leader had responded to KDMM's announcement. But we need to ask again: What is KDMM really for? It is, again, by Ambrose's own admission, particularly for a domestic purpose, i.e. to try to enlarge KDMs' await for Umno. The obvious subject is, why? It clearly means Umno Sabah has failed to get sufficient await from a KDMs. But we consternation how many KDMs with sufficient comprehension would rush to stick on KDM Malaysia since Ambrose pronounced they will be speedy to await Umno as well! Ambrose additionally proudly announced KDMM will undertake gratification programs to set up houses for a KDMs which begs a question: Where will KDMM get a income to set up thousands of houses for a poor? If it aims to get funding from a government for this project, afterwards what is a PPRT module for as good as won't KDMM clash additionally with a ministry of Rural Development?

And will KDMM behave similar to a domestic celebration by campaigning for domestic await as good as asking for plan allocations as if it is a domestic party, as good as as if Ambrose was an Assemblyman or a Member of Parliament? If he can do that, so can a Kadazandusun informative Association (KDCA), a United Sabah Bajau Organisation (USBO), a United Sabah Bisaya Association (PBBS), a Sabah Sungai People Association (SABAS) as good as so upon as good as so forth. And to stretch a bizarre proof further, since do not al! l associ ations stick on a BN as good as ask for growth allocations as well? Isnl;t it a some-more a merrier? What's so special about KDMM which only it can get farming growth allocations while a alternative identical organisation can't? Is it since Ambrose is a blue-eyed boy of Najib as good as Rosmah?

What KDMM aims to do competence be eminent though it has a potential of formulating precedents with very upsetting consequences. As is regularly in cases of NGOs having settled! domesti c leanings to a sure party, KDMM can't escape from a problem of conflicts of interests. Ambrose claims there is no conflict of seductiveness in KDMM ancillary Umno, though how about a incident of some members who assimilated a organisation though have been meddlesome only to assistance a KDM communities willingly though have been not meddlesome in politics, or have a dislike for Umno? One way or an additional they will be seen as pro-Umno or pro-BN, only similar to a KDCA members have been seen as pro-PBS. If they have been members of a opposition, will they be supposed in to KDMM? Will present KDMM members who have been right away pro-Umno after decide to await a opposition? If so, what if they spend some of their time campaigning for a opposition, as good as against Umno as good as BN? And what if they have been holding high positions in KDMM as well? Will Ambrose endure them for long? They can even accumulate sufficient await to oust Ambrose as good as take over a KDMM, as good as modify a organisation in to a apolitical entity or even turn pro-opposition! This proves which Ambrose was fibbing by his teeth when he pronounced there was no conflict of seductiveness in KDMM being pro-Umno. Maybe Ambrose competence as good modify KDMM in to a domestic celebration as good as stop ! all a sore pretences as good as lies.

Winning the mind, not the heart

A commercial operation leader says which Barisan Nasional contingency not take a Indian village for an additional ride, as well as calls for petrify stairs to be initiated.

KUALA LUMPUR: The mammoth turnout for a Deepavali open house in Batu Caves has been trumpeted as an additional pointer of a Indian community's await returning for a ruling bloc under a stewardship of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.

In a last general election, Indian voters, whose await for BN remained invariable compartment then, cast their ballots for a opposition, leaving a bloc with a bloodied nose.

Upon assuming office in a following year, Najib embarked upon a quest to win behind a heart as well as mind of a Indian electorate.

While a spate of by-elections revealed which his efforts to woo Chinese votes yielded little, if no success, a voting direction in a same by-elections appears to be enlivening as distant as Indian await is concerned.

Indian leaders in MIC as well as alternative pro-BN organisations have lauded Najib for his eagerness to rouse a socio-economic standard of a community.

However, a seasoned political spectator as well as commercial operation leader remarkable which a budding apportion is winning over a minds with mere cosmetic changes as well as fanfares though has yet to have inroads into a hearts of a Indians.

Politician or statesman?

According to Malaysian Indian Business Association (Miba) president P Sivakumar, Najib contingency have an important decision.

He contingency confirm in between being an additional run-of-the indent politician churning out "quick-fixes" to win votes as well as a statesman who will initiate genuine reforms to uplift a village whic! h has be en, in a difference of MIC president G Palanivel himself, marginalised for decades.

"Spending millions upon Deepavali bashes, whim billboards as well as land concerts will not benefit a community. We contingency tour over such extraneous efforts to remedy a malaise," he told FMT.

"BN should not take a Indian village for an additional ride," he stressed, showering critique upon a community's leaders who have been willing accomplices in this plot.

The village leaders who assistance a ruling bloc perpetuate a hardship of a Indian community, he added, have been committing a principal sin.

"This is because they have been digging a graves of a destiny era even before a dust has settled upon a graves of a olde! r genera tion," he said.

GLC ads meaningless

Commenting upon a Deepavali advertisements by government-linked companies, Sivakumar pronounced it would ha! ve been some-more meaningful if Najib had voiced which a certain percentage of employment opportunities or commercial operation contracts have been set aside for a Indians in GLCs such as Petronas as well as Pos Malaysia.

"For years, these companies usually arrangement their 'all-encompassing' attitude in advertisements during a festive deteriorate though a being upon a ground is starkly different.

"Are we as Malaysian citizens whose forefathers' sweat as well as toil contributed immensely towards a progress of this nation, asking for too much?" he added.

Acknowledging which Indian await is growing for BN, a Miba president warned which a urban middle class as well as some-more educated Indian citizens remain unconvinced as well as a supervision should not have a inapplicable designation of resting upon its laurels meditative which all is well.

"These citizens want to see significant changes as well as not dancers prancing upon a stage. They have been not meddlesome in being paid to attend functions or a free lunch. If a supervision fails to broach a goods, they ! will not broach a votes. It's as elementary as that," he added.

He pronounced these citizens want a just, equitable, transparent as well as under obligation supervision which respects elemental human rights.

Learn from Singapore

The Johor-based office worker pronounced which a Malaysian supervision should sense from its counterpart across a causeway with regard to uplifting minority groups.

"Even a alternative day, we was having a chat with an elderly Singaporean gentlemen as well as he was telling me how in a early years, a Indians in a republic experienced identical social ills.

"But with a right policies as well as actions, a Singaporean supervision empowered a Indians there both economically as well as academically. Look during them today compare them to us," he said.

Sivakumar also took a swipe during a mindset of a civil use here, saying which it is still trapped in a dungeon of discrimination.

If Najib's 1Malaysia concept is to be successful, he said, a debase in a civil use contingency be bound initial as well as those in supervision positions should stop deliberation a non-Malays as immigrants.

"Only afterwards can we have an effective delivery system," he added.

The Miba president also criticised Najib as well as Indian leaders for nurturing divisiveness by a standing complement instead of ordering a village si! milar to Singapore.

"Why contingency a budding apportion attend this as well as which standing function. This is a mildew which has paralysed a Indian village for a long time as well as it should not be authorised to continue.

"I am aware which there have been those who feel strongly about this issue though a hard law is which a standing complement will usually block a march forward. So let's progress as well as not regress," he said.

Liar, liar, pants on fire

Oct 28, 2011

OCT twenty-eight When it was voiced which AirAsia had paid for a stake in Malaysia Airlines, most people in easterly Malaysia were worried which a competition between Firefly as well as AirAsia would stop as well as fares would go up. But this was what was reported upon Oct eighteen "End of a road for Firefly's jet service" (TMI, Oct 18): " Fernandes however said which AirAsia will not increase fares following a vital collaboration"

I come from Sarawak as well as rest upon a competition to give me a best transport as well as service. My last dual trips with my young kids to Sarawak to see their grandparents were upon Firefly because it had a best deal with a return outing for dual adults as well as dual young kids at underneath RM600. As a bonus, we get to use a aerobridge upon Firefly flights.

Now when we cannot even book upon Firefly anymore because it no longer does a KLIA-Kuching route, we have to book AirAsia.

The cheapest transport I could find upon AirAsia for my family over a brand new year period was RM1,100.

It is very clear which AirAsia "killed" Firefly as well as monopolised a easterly Malaysian routes. As a monopoly, a fares can usually go up as well as this is just what is happening now. So much for Tony's assurances.

This is a same guy who creates it so formidable for we not to buy insurance we actually have to click 3 times just to say no to AirAsia insurance!

I can usually tell all easterly Malaysians which we know what to do with your opinion in a coming general election. You know who is obliged for this sorry state of affairs.

In this country, a corporate boys win over a guys upon a street. The government does not care.

The usually way is to retaliate them via a list box. There is no other way.

Malaysia-Australia Partnership Against People Traffickers

October 28, 2011

OPINION

Prime Minister Najib Explains Malaysia-Australia Partnership Against People Traffickers

By Najib Razak (10-27-11)

Where we or I see a man, a lady or an trusting child, people traffickers see usually a single thing money.

They target a exposed as well as a unfortunate as well as exploit them without mercy, receiving value of people financially, physically, mostly even sexually.

The sheer heartlessness of a traffickers was demonstrated in a most horrendous demeanour final Dec when a male responsible for receiving almost a hundred migrants to Australia deserted his charges in a leaking, overcrowded boat with an engine which was about to fail.

Dozens drowned when a boat struck rocks off Yuletide Island. At least 5 young kids as well as three babies were between a dead.

None of us ever wish to witness such scenes again, which is why my supervision worked with Prime Minister Gillard's to develop a equates to of interlude a people traffickers what became known as a "Malaysian solution".

Over a past few months, a great understanding has been created about both a resolution as well as Malaysia itself, much of it ill-informed as well as based upon governing body rather than sober analysis of a facts.

The agreement had a single, elementary aim to pound a commercial operation model of a people traffickers by telling potential migrants which spending their hold up assets as well as risking their lives to get to Australia would lead them usually as distant as Malaysia.

This deterrent outcome was not about Malaysia being a "bad" place, somewhere migrants should be frightened of ending up. The elementary actuality is which Malaysia is not a nation which boatpeople streamer for Australia wish to settle in as well as some-more mostly than not which is down to economics rather than fears of how they might be treated. Because, notwithstanding what we may have listened from those who chose to attack my country, Malaysia is not a little repressive, back republic which persecutes refugees as well as asylum seekers.

We have been a multicultural, multi-ethnic society which has a long as well as proud story of amicable harmony as well as welcoming outsiders together with playing a consequential purpose in assisting to find new homes for hundreds of thousands of people displaced by war in Vietnam, Laos as well as Bosnia.

Today, Malaysia is home to almost 178,000 refugees, stateless persons as well as alternative "people of concern" to a United Nations, some-more than 7 times as most as you'll find in Australia. The vast infancy have been giveaway to live in a community, rather than being hold in apprehension centres. They have been entitled to subsidised healthcare as well as giveaway vaccinations for children.

We have been operative with a UNHCR to develop a intrigue which would allow a little refugees to take jobs in Malaysia. And, no, refugees have been not subjected to slight corporal low mark by a authorities. Once an particular is purebred as a interloper with a UNHCR an organisation which has a substantial presence in a nation as well as gave its support to a Malaysian resolution they cannot be prosecuted for immigration offences.

Genuine refugees have been treated with a utmost grace as well as apply oneself whilst they await resettlement elsewhere. What we don't endure is illegal immigration as well as people traffickers, as well as I'm not starting to apologise for receiving a tough stance upo! n either .

This week, I'm fasten Prime Minister Julia Gillard as well as a leaders of some-more than 50 alternative nations for a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth. The Commonwealth has regularly been about countries operative together for a larger great as well as a thesis of this year's meeting office building global resilience, office building inhabitant resilience underlines this.

International co-operation is a usually approach to solve general problems. Just over 10 years ago, a pell-mell Tampa event showed what happens when nations destroy to work with each alternative as well as instead try to action unilaterally to tackle a complaint such as illegal immigration.

People traffickers do not apply oneself general borders as well as legal jurisdictions any some-more than they apply oneself a human rights of their victims, which is why Malaysia as well as Australia worked together to develop a approach of interlude them.

Merely announcing which a agreement was being discussed contributed to a 50 per cent fall in a number of boatpeople streamer to Australia in a first half of this year as well as I hold that, once up as well as running, it would have had a critical stroke upon a exploitative actions of people smugglers.

At this point, it would be easy to give up, to tell ourselves which we tried though a complaint was as well big, as well politically formidable to understanding with. And a people-smuggling would go on. The boats would go on to sail. Heartless traffickers would go on to take everything from unfortunate people their money, their grace and, all as well often, their lives.

As a Prime Minister of a progressive, liberal nation, I'm not rebuilt to mount by as well as watch which happen. Malaysia has regularly! led Sou th-East Middle East in traffic with general problems, so we will go on to work with Australia, as well as a partners across a region as well as beyond, to find new ways of interlude a traffickers for good.

It is as well early to say just what a subsequent stage in a quarrel will look like, though a single thing is clear we cannot means to fool around governing body with people trafficking. It is nothing less than a 21st century trade in human misery as well as it contingency not be authorised to continue.

Najib Razak is a Prime Minister of Malaysia.
