DAP's consistently inconsistent

Tony P did a Mas Selamat yesterday upon his blog.

He can't be accused of being a Muslim terrorist. Some contend he is a Christian though his chicken rearing physique builder father, Jackson Pua near Minyak Beku, Batu Pahat is a Buddhist. There occur to be a place called Sungai Ayam in Minyak Beku.

Mas Selamat is a description of Tony Pua's blog capability to be elusive. Yesterday, we swear he posted The Malaysian Insider'snews reportof himself criticising Deputy Prime MinistercumMinister of Education, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

This morning it is no some-more there though replaced by announcement of hisduel with Dato Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

Why is that?

Is Tony perplexing to escape being caught wrong?

In MI's report, Tony Pua rubbished Tan Sri Muhy! iddin Ya ssin's reference of The Global Competitiveness Report 2011-2012 issued by The World Economic Forum which placed Malaysia as 14th in a world underneath a difficulty of peculiarity of education.

In fast successions, he cited various parts of inform as great as alternative studies to repudiate Muhyiddin as wrong.

You think Tony is fair as great as right in his criticism?

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 DAP MP Tony Pua has rubbished Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's exaggerate over local education! standar ds, citing currently a recent international investigate which showed Malaysian students lagging distant during a back of western nations in conditions of literacy, arithmetic as great as systematic understanding.

Labelling a emissary budding apportion a "jaguh kampung" (village hero) for his boast, Pua forked out which according to theProgramme for International Students Assessment (PISA) 2009+ inform expelled final December, Malaysian students ranked 55th out of 74 countries in conditions of celebration of a mass literacy, 57th in Mathematics as great as "only marginally better" in 52nd in front of for Science literacy.

"The formula have been intensely discouraging upon a state of affairs in Malaysia's preparation system," Pua told a press discussion in Parliament today.

The PISA 2009+ study, conducted in 2010 as great as expelled final December, reviewed a literacy, arithmetic as great as systematic bargain of 522,000 students opposite 74 countries, with scarcely 4,999 students entrance from Malaysia.

Muhyiddin, as a preparation minister, Pua said, had done "a finish fool" of himself for proudly proclaiming Malaysia's standard of preparation is distant improved than which of a United States, a United Kingdom as great as Germany.

Muhyiddin had done a explain upon Saturday, citing a inform by a World Economic Forum (WEF) which settled which Malaysian students were removing a improved preparation than their counterparts in a UK, a US as great as Germany.

The emissary budding apportion had forked out which theWEF's 2011/12 Global Competitiveness Report ranked Malaysia 14th between 142 countries in conditions of peculiarity of education.

He was quoti! ng findi ngs in ! a Execut ive Opinion Survey portion of a report, which polled top business total upon a competitiveness of various sectors as great as institutions.

But Pua forked out currently which theWEF investigate was merely formed upon a opinions of 87 local businessmen who were asked to rate upon a scale of a single to seven how most they felt a country's tutorial systemhas met a needs of a competitive economy.

He pronounced two government-linked agencies had been commissioned by a WEF to lift out a consult a government-linked Institute Strategic as great as International Studies (ISIS) as great as a government-owned Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) suggesting a probability of biasness in a study's outcome.

"Surely such a little consult with such 'surprising' outcomes contingency be benchmarked against alternative convincing international studies prior to it is accepted during face value.

"And surely, as a preparation Minister, he (Muhyiddin) would have seen most design studies upon a peculiarity of a preparation as great as students," Pua said.

Malaysia had achieved a weighted average measure of 5.1 in a WEF study, as did Australia, Lebanon as great as Barbados.

Switzerland, Singapore as great as Finland led a rankings after each cumulative a rating of 5.9.

Germany placed 17th with a measure of 4.9, Britain came in 20th with 4.8 as great as a US got a 26th spot with a 4.7 rating.

Despite Malaysia fixation 14th, a WEF inform pronounced in a outline for Malaysia which as a republic becomes some-more as great as some-more innovation-driven, "it will need to urge a pe! rformanc e in preparation as great as technological readiness".

Comparatively, Pua forked out which a conclusion for Malaysiain a PISA inform was utterly distinct a WEF's when it was reported which usually "56 per cent of students have been estimated to have a proficiency in celebration of a mass preparation which is during or upon top of a ba! seline t urn needed to experience actively as great as productively in life".

This, he said, meant which a whopping 44 per cent of Malaysian students had scored below a baseline level.

For mathematics, a PISA investigate revealed which usually 41 per cent of students have been proficient in a theme during a baseline level.

For science, 57 per cent done a baseline level.

"Why did Muhyiddin not cite a PISA investigate which he is entirely wakeful of, which is a design in a investigate opposite countries regulating stereotyped tests?

"PISA was also conducted with a co-operation of a Education Ministry... (but) instead, Muhyiddin decided to endorse as great as exaggerate of a consult of 87 local businessmen upon a single, biased question," Pua said.

The questioned partial of a WEF inform (findhere)can be found in page 444. The list is reproduced below:



Tony failed to realised which a investigate refers to a peculiarity of a aloft preparation as great as it is a single of a most indicators of a preparation a country. Since a inform is upon aloft education, a criti! c should not be leveled during Muhyiddin.

Nevertheless, he failed to realise which Muhyiddin is wakeful of all those studies as great as reports he had quoted. In fact, he had conveyed a issues in speeches in his Ministry's function. Go search in a Ministry's website.

However, it is not as sparkling as a headlines! of anot her Fasha Sanda event as great as was not picked-up by a mainstream newspapers.

What so wrong with Muhyiddin braggadocio a little positive headlines to progress a spirit of a thousands of teachers, lecturers, as great as administrators.

Since there have been alternative critique of Muhyiddin's claim, let's plead another criticism. One critique claimed which Malaysia's tertiary preparation lacks during a back of in conditions of quantity as great as tertiary educated Malaysian have been distant during a back of with a German as great as UK University leavers.

Other which a WEF, critics cited sourceshereandhereto compile a number enrolled census interpretation as below:

PRIMARY: Malaysia (94.1) UK (99.6) Germany (97.6)

SECONDARY: Malaysia (70.2%) UK (93.7%) Germany (87.7%)

COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY: Malaysia (26.2%) UK (59.5%) Germany (46.3%)

With scarcely 60% of their citizen reception tertiary education, it is not a warn which UK is usually multiform notches during a back of Malaysia in conditions of quality.

The subsequent questioned raised by this critics have been because have been there too most dropouts between Malaysians during a tertiary level?

To answer that, they had raised a issue of a number enrolled deal as great as which deals with QUANTITY. Muhyiddin's matter deals with QUALITY.

The WEF reports differentiates a two criteria. It gives weightage of 33% for peculiarity as great as 33% for quantity.

If they had worried ! to refer to page 48 of a report, it settled which tertiary a number enrolled rate is 36.5%.

It does not uncover a peculiarity of a preparation as low, though a places during tertiary institutions have been limited as great as admission is rarely competitive.

Quantity aspect is sincerely straight forward as great as can be ! quantifi ed regulating tough actuality as great as central data. WEF collected central interpretation as great as distribute scores formed upon it. The being with low enrolment rate is a low measure upon quantity.

The peculiarity is some-more subjective. There is no accessible interpretation upon a overall peculiarity of tutorial system. WEF used a Executive Opinion Survey to measure quality. Those participants of a consult noticed a peculiarity of a tutorial complement to be some-more superior than which of US, Germany as great as UK.

The same applies for alternative notice surveys.

If a antithesis can go to town with Malaysia's low measure upon a notice formed crime index, because have been they uneasy with a a single upon education?

Did Tony realised which a THES ranking of Universities worldwide which antithesis used to reject a low ranking of a open Universities is also a notice survey?

Off course, he would not as great as his response to this blog will be to remian silent when cornered.

Tony as great as DAP usually wants to listen to negative headlines of a country. If possible, they wish to paint a TOTAL dour picture of a preparation complement as great as each aspect of a nation.

There should be no FDI starting into a republic as great as Barisan Nasional states. If there have been plans for a single like of Lynas, Vale, Pengerang, etc, DAP contingency sabotage. They have been willing to distortion as great as create falsitous notice of radioactivity, wild environmental problem, as great as what may you.

They can be so unsuitable as great as have excuses as to hold AELB recomendation for Batu Kawan though have been against AELB recomendation for Lynas as great as it's alright for Shin Etsu in Selangor though not for Lynas in Gebeng.

However, there have been not ashamed to explain FDI into Pakatan states as theirs, despite know! ing great which it is MITI's bid which brought investment to their states irrespective of their political inclinati! on.
< br>Perhaps, there could be political spirit points to fulfill a negative misperception of Chinese voters. That should not be because a Chinese have been smarter than that.

In his excitement to reject anything great of a Government's bid to remodel a preparation system, Tony showed which he did not scrupulously read as great as accepted a reports as great as studies he cited.

It could further infer a sheer being which today's DAP is filled with hypocrasy as great as inconsistencies.
