When most nations have progressed with sturdy politicians delving in to on-going preparation policies for their people Malaysia is still stuck in the fen wading with self-seeking politicians as well as their flip-flop policies which have been confusing parents, teachers as well as students some-more than anything else.
Each time there is the shift to the preparation policies this has happened too frequent in the past process makers would occupy some supposed "expertise" to come up with imaginary ideas, waffles as well as verbiages to describe the "new" preparation process when the tales, in indicate of fact, meant nothing much.
The only faith is which these preparation policies would come with big projects for associate contractors.
Taxpayers mislaid about RM5 billion
This errant approach to politics, preparation as well as money-making has the story from 1981 onwards. It all started when Mahathir Muhamad took over as prime apportion (1981) of the nation as well as since afterwards it has spin an UMNO's integral culture.
The PPSMI (Teaching as well as Learning Science as well as Mathematics in English) was the process which began in 2003. The process had mechanism gadgets installed or since to schools in the tune of some-more than RM500 million with the intention to reinstate or support teachers who were not efficient sufficient to learn the subjects in English.
Not only the process has unsuccessful or stopped, over 80 percent of the dear gadgets since to schools have been right away dysfun! ctional, not entirely utilised, mislaid or only left to rot. Computer program as well as mechanism record have been energetic in inlet as well as they have all by right away spin obsolete.
Of course the associate companies chosen by negotiated tenders supplying these gadgets kept upon enriching themselves at the expense of taxpayers. The taxpayers' finished up losing millions of ringgit only since of poor as well as odd preparation formulation by UMNO politicians.
On the whole taxpayers mislaid about RRM5 billion for the rambling PPSMI preparation devise mooted by Mahathir which started in 2003 as well as prematurely finale in 2008. As expected, here was not the word of distress or shame from the supervision for the RM5 billion process fiasco.
RM1 billion will be spent
In the most touted brand new preparation plans for 2013-2025 the supervision is again laying the wager. Without doing any commander studies to the make use of of mechanism record as well as the efficacy in training as well as guidance the method is again starting to spend the fortune upon condition which mechanism apparatus to promote access to Internet 4G as well as other "up-to-date" inter-related mechanism accessories to schools.
This is again starting to heighten some UMNO cronies. In all probability, an guess RM1billion will be outlayed upon this ambitious "upgrading plan" the result of which is filled with doubts. Most likely, most of these gadgets will be left resting or spin archaic after the couple of years of implementation of the pedagogically unverified supposed "technologically prompted interactive guidance activities" in training as well as guidance in school.
Of course, the tenure "state-of-art technology" in training as well as guidance sounds worldly as well as showy though this is not starting to plunge into the root problems in preparation students have been facing. Technology changes quick as well as what is supp! osing to schools in 2013 will be found archaic only the couple of years after.
The supervision is carrying the "false feeling" which the customary of preparation in the nation will improve tremendously if is geared with technological software. They have been essentially still groping in the dim as to what is the best approach to training as well as guidance in Malaysian schools.
It's another process investigation regulating students as the guinea pigs.
Despite all the elations among UMNO politicians upon the customary of preparation in the nation some-more than 80 percent of schools together with the vernacular schools in the nation miss the simple infrastructure of the decent school, the homogeneous of the conjectural private or International school.
Poor as well as inconducive classrooms, miss of simple training as well as guidance facilities, incompetent teachers as well as the outrageous infrastructure disparity in between most farming as well as civic schools have been the present criteria of most Malaysian schools. Even most government-owned universities have been ill-equipped with the required comforts as well as infrastructure.
These problems endure until today. Those in Sabah as well as Sarawak have been the most affected.
Not the word of distress or guilt
It was reported that, as up to 2010 only three out of 250 propagandize mechanism labs programmed for Sabah underneath the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) was completed. The plan was supposed to have been finished as well as delivered in time though unfortunately it did not happen.
There was not the word of distress or shame from the supervision for this failure. It involves taxpayers' income as well as schools were left in the surge when it came to carrying mechanism labs for education.
The categorical reason was the disaster of the contractors endangered to fulfil their obligation. Contractors as well! as sub- contractors made their income no doubt, leaving the schoolchildren deprived of the lab comforts for most years.
Until today, over 90 percent of mechanism labs built in the nation have been not functioning up to expectation. The miss of teachers, unsound facilities, archaic program as well as computers have all forced the labs to be malfunctioning.
Another RM140 million scandal
In 2003 after the four-decade story of Alliance as well as Barisan the nation witnessed the RM140 million East Coast mechanism laboratory scandal. The administration again started to blame the contractors which they themselves appointed to accomplish the assign though any open tender.
The state preparation departments unsuccessful to manage the successful execution of the propagandize mechanism laboratory projects by the contractors as well as delays had disrupted the studies as well as performance of the students in schools.
It was reported which the preparation apportion at the time blamed the contractor, Bell Grand Sdn. Bhd. as well as plan supervision consultant, QSC Projects Sdn. Bhd. for the debacle.
The consultant, executive as well as the supervision had in actuality not acted dutifully as well as professionally to forestall the propagandize laboratory liaison from receiving place. The taxpayers were dismayed as well as the supervision contingency be held underneath obligation for the fiasco.
When no proper labs were built for schools no ministers certified their faults as well as nobody resigned after this charade. Taxpayers' income was again mislaid all in the name of preparation process planning.
The disaster as well as liaison of the East Coast mechanism laboratory plan was only possible not only since of the irresponsible as well as inattentive actions of the executive as well as consultant, though additionally the supervision which was supposed to receive periodical progress r! eports f rom the consultant.
There was again not the word of distress or shame from the supervision for the RM140 million East Coast mechanism laboratory ignominies.
Failed to take full responsibility
The supervision method of preparation as well as the EPU (Economic Planning Unit) unsuccessful to take full shortcoming to ensure which the building the whole of all mechanism labs was finished upon time for the consequence of children's education.
As common the supervision will take the stand to urge their unsuccessful policies, whilst the contractors as well as consultants would be defined as "irreproachable" When cronies have been concerned this is firm to happen, as there will naturally be the soothing spot for the guilt-ridden party.
It was reported which Mahathir did cautiously admit shame upon this issue, as he was perplexing "to meet the requests of the Malay contractors". Mahathir certified which the supervision wanted "to yield opportunities to Malay contractors" underneath the propagandize lab building the whole project.
What happened was the categorical executive sole the plan to another chairman who in spin sole it to another chairman as well as it went upon until the labs could not be built following the strange specs.
A RM150 000 value propagandize lab would expected have since the RM20 000 profit to the categorical contractor. The chain of sub-contracting most expected finished with the 4th or 5thperson who built the lab at the meagre RM2 000 profit each. For this ridiculous business ploy, the substandard mechanism labs were built in an inhuman manner.
It was reported which 574 of the 600 mechanism laboratories built in the East Coast were not safe as well as in danger of collapse. The complaint persists until today.
The rakyat have been not doubt whether the Malay or the non-Malay should be since the pursuit though whether the chairman awarded ! the cont ract was efficient sufficient to do the pursuit though wasting taxpayers' money.
To the rakyat, this is the matter of trust as well as accountability. There have been most able Malays out there who have the expertise as well as cunning though not roped in to do the pursuit as they do not belong to the UMNO associate assemblage.v
More the reason for the shift of government
These have been all serious scandals involving outrageous volume of taxpayers' income as well as the country's resources. If any the single of these scandals were to occur in the developed nation the apportion or the prime apportion in assign would have resigned.
In Japan, the apportion found to be corrupt or has unsuccessful in his duty may even commit suicide. This will not occur in this country.
Crony contractors have been right away same to "hungry vultures" waiting to grab remunerative contracts offered by the supervision to implement the brand new preparation blueprint. Unquestionably, there will be the lot of income involved.
Money, politicians as well as policies have been not starting to determine the peculiarity of preparation students get in propagandize though the single thing certain is which UMNO cronies have been positive of their share of wealth.
Are contracts as well as sub-contracts the source of funding of internal UMNO politicians? This is some-more the reason because there contingency be the shift of government.
