"In fact, Malaysians do not even need a inform to tell them which there is a dire complaint with a preparation complement which produces unemployable graduates who have been unable to think critically," Lim complained.
Muhyiddin, who is deputy budding apportion as well as preparation minister, had pronounced yesterday which Malaysians in general have tall courtesy for a local preparation system.

"Once again, Muhyiddin is cherry-picking enlightened census data to prove his point. If this is a case, then he should answer because there is not a singular Malaysian Nobel Prize leader as well as because is there not a singular Malaysian university ranked amongst a tip 200 u! niversit ies in a world?
"Or when since a choice, because do some-more Malaysian students choose to investigate in a US, UK as well as Germany rather than in Malaysian universities?" Lim asked.

Another study, a 2009 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), pronounced Lim, had ranked Malaysia 55th in reading ability, 57th in arithmetic ability as well as 52nd in science.
"Unfortunately, instead of admitting a weaknesses as well as acid for solutions, a Education Minister prefers to be in rejection as well as attempts to 'bamboozle' (hoodwink! ) Malays ians with resourceful as well as biased data in sequence to whitewash a true state of Malaysian education.
