Chinese School in exchange with Equality

Recent article in NEW STRAITS TIMES (government mouthpiece) talk about the irony in Malaysia regarding unity. I quote one of the important points : "Even the most 1Malaysia-minded and progressive friend I know, a Chinese, paused when asked if he would be okay if we were to abolish all Chinese schools."

I know that the ultra-nationalist Malay always retort whether they can take away Chinese education stream whenever the Chinese asked for equality. In my opinion, if the quality of education up to the par of Chinese school and selection/promotion of teacher is according to meritocracy (for example, good teacher will get increment, so on and so forth), why not?

The problem with our education system from primary to university is that all are dominated by one race. We see that our government does not bother to get good academic staff hired in University. Just go around our public university and see. It's very obvious. Hey, its the same with our public service sector.

So when the BIG question whether I'll accept equality with the condition of single national school, hell yeah. Just bring equality to everywhere including our education system. I do think having all kids mixed in single school system will encourage early integration. Plus equality all around, I'm sure there's no more suspicion between us. After all, we are all Malaysian. We all born here. This is the place I intend to die too.

Another perspective of communism in Malaysia

What is hot now is about communism in Malaysia. Our Minister for Information, Communications, Arts and Culture, Rais Yatim managed to "publicize" a blog for our reading pleasure. The blog is Kampung Perdamaian Sukhirin -> click http://matamin.blogspot.com/

Here, you'll get all sorts of information from communist side of the story. As we know, history is written by victor. Our history might change again if our government change. If our government really change, and if Anwar really open up, we might see all sorts of "truth" coming out. History will be rewritten. But for now, we can somehow depends on this website to see if what the communist said is believable.

There's an interesting video that we all should watch (I post it before and I'm going to post again):

Illegal Assembly

One of the amusing laws that Malaysia have is any grouping of three people can be deemed an illegal assembly. Thus we see a lot of government dissenters got hauled up to jail ever since the watershed 2008 General Election. Sikit-sikit also got kena tangkap. Even the lawyers who want to see their client was hauled up at the police station entrance. I mean, come on. Its the police station for god sake.

Erm, I wonder if the police going to pick me up if I go out with two friends. No wonder crime are increasing. Police got no time to catch criminal because they need to pick up people who do peaceful illegal assembly. Facepalm...

Missing link found. God not exist?

Creationist is people believe in God's creation where Adam and Eve is our ancestor and Jews are the Chosen People (this is the believe of the book's People. Book's people are believers of monotheistic religion). While atheist believe in the theory of evolution. Creationist and Evolutionist always at 'war' with each other over Darwinism.

Today marked the first success of evolutionist after such long drawn battle of words. Even google.com marked it with a change of logo in its search engine:

How significance is this? Well, there's troublesome thoughts on how suddenly apes can evolve to become human. And this half ape half human explains it:
Tadaaa....this is your ancestor with human hand and ape-shaped head. No, this is not C4-ed of apes. I know what you think there...

Bumiputera for all Malaysian?

Well, that's what Manoharan said today in The Malaysian Insider. It's just so obvious isn't it? That everyone should be granted that status since we all born in Malaysia. Why there's a differentiation between us? I think this will rhyme with 1Malaysia expounded by Najib.

Too early to dream...........?
