Yesterday, I talked about Singapore refusing the landing of AirAsia and why Malaysia is doing a lot of similar stuffs. Today I want to talk our our education and universities, in relation to Singapore.
Our government complaints that many of our knowledge workers (engineers, doctors, etc.) don’t want to serve in our own country but prefer to stay overseas. They say these people should be more patriotic.
Our government also complaint that we are lack of knowledge workers. While at the same time there are many graduates that can’t find a job.
The most STUPID mistake that our IGNORANT government is doing in EDUCATION -
Our government spend a lot of money providing FREE primary and secondary education us. That is 6 years of primary school, 5 years or secondary school and 2 years more if they take form 6, total to 13 years! 13 years or FREE EDUCATION and TRAINING!
Let’s take my school as an example. I study in Sam Tet, Ipoh which is considered one of the good school. In 1997 when I finished my SPM, there were 18 students getting 8As and above (maximum 10As only at that time).
6 of the 18 are now exported to Singapore. Singapore gives them full scholarship, let them choose the exact course they want to study and give them Singapore PR few months before they graduate! You don’t even need to apply for the PR! (some of them went after form 6, some of them went immediately after SPM to Junior College)
Malaysia trains these smart students for 13 years. Singapore train them for 4 years ONLY and have them work for Singapore for the next 30 years.
Who is smarter? Malaysia or Singapore?
Why they want to ’selfishly’ go to Singapore and don’t want to serve our own country?
1. Singapore give them scholarship so they don’t need to worry about money. They don’t need to worry that PTPTN will reject his loan.
2. Singapore give them the exact course they want so they don’t need to worry that they can’t get into the course they want in Malaysia.
3. Although Singapore has only 2 universities, both of them are far better than ANY one in Malaysia. UKM is currently bragging that they are the Top 200 Universities in the word, ranked #185 ahead of UM #192. Singapore only have 2 universities and they ranked as follow – NUS (National University of Singapore) #19, NTU (Nanyang Technological University) #61. Anything for the Malaysians to be proud of?
— —
But the primary reasons are still #1 and #2, the UNCERTAINTY that the Malaysia government is giving to these SMART BRAINS. They are worried about the future and they need to plan for their future too. If Singapore can give them the promise and certainty, why would they want to take the RISK of rejection from their own beloved country Malaysia? (How hurt does it feel when your own country doesn’t appreciate you?)
Every year we have a lot of STPM straight A students complain that they cannot get into Medicine (doctor). The Goverment says that if they allow all straight A students to go into Medicine, then other student with poorer results will not be able to get into medicine.
Well getting straight A means they are the BEST students with the BEST brain and medicine is usually consider the BEST course (and tough to study!). What sense does it make when the BEST STPM students are not GUARANTEED by the government to take the BEST course? Then what is the point of having the exam at the first place?
These BEST brains are the one who will be contributing the most to the country when fully utilized. They represent the future of Malaysia and they deserve the TOP attention. They should be given the VETO power to choose whatever course they want and not by a randomly picked-by-luck system. Keep the picked-by-luck system for your ordinary students, why RISK losing your BEST BRAINS?
Imagine what are the benefits we are getting by just focusing on keeping our BEST BRAINS from being stolen by Singapore! It won’t break the quota system even slightly because we are talking about the Top 1% people only. Apply the quota system to ordinary students like me! Put me and soufulow on the quota system, don’t RISK our BEST BRAINS! Just risk me!

lol..you sure you are one of those so called ordinary students? hehe..
but for sure, the current education system sucks!! they are risking the future of students for their own race sake!! If based on the results slip..”they” are no way near in gettting into the uni!! May b I’m just being racist, but who cares, they are those who be racist first!
The problem is that if there is no quota, then maybe only 10% of the students in the local university are Malay. That is a big problem because that would means ‘red eye’ and it will definitely trigger the sensitive race issues in Malaysia and we end up losing the most important thing we need – peace.
So, I am just hoping that the Government will waive the top 1% students from quota system. I am not greedy.
Obviously Singapore is smarter than us. But for those high achiever poor souls out there, on the other hand, I wish i could thank the Singapore government for taking them in, at least, giving them the chances that they “RIGHTLY” deserve.
snowman:
Very cool insight. It is better to use it then to waste it.
ya, i get what you mean. ptptn only borrow to the student who is using this to buy a new hp, new laptop, but not for the ppl who really want to study…….
Help! i’m searching fir the ‘celophane cheating blog, Thanks, (”,) i told my friemd i would email it to him but
i can’t fimd it
@flo:
‘celophane’? u mean cellphone?
students with bad results becoming doctors. hmmmmm. just as bad as not letting the best students choose thier course.
the quota system will be broken once you do as you suggested….because the rest of the citizens will demand fair play and meritocracy. and therefore you get 85% of the people fighting for 10% of the places in universities. and don’t forget….there will be only a few malays in the top 1% if its based on meritocracy.
its not that singapore is smart….its just that all the smart people from malaysia are in singapore now and they will hire people smarter than them from malaysia to manage thier business in singapore or the world.
by the way, getting straight A’s doesnt mean you’re the smartest…..but should merely just be a prerequisite to be considered to be selected as med students or a rocket scientist.
by the way, all um, ukm, utm, mmu and other universities in malaysia is rotten anyway in my view.
Last time i ve got one malay friend. He damn lanci man grade 2 in spm got in to UM. His name is FAIZAL we call him fai chat. He thinks that UM is damn kau high class tiu lah all the chinese go UKlah Australia lah. People’s UNI Damn good he damn sohai think Malaysia University is damn good. The truth is MY FOOT!!!! HIS LOOK DAMN LANCI. I think he can’t define what is sohai because he IS the SOHAI
My god just came back to do something from government department.
A malay man punched the glass of the personnel dunno for whatever reason. I would believe the government department dunno become bodoh again. Well on my way to meet their officer one ofthem came and told me that the personnel was on leave but he is the one who is who called me. So see the other personnel and he also on leave. SOHAI Definition again
by the way, all um, ukm, utm, mmu and other universities in malaysia is rotten anyway in my view.

Dear People, most of you sounds dissapointed. Good. That means you are still young.
Lets just say you invented the most wonderful technological breakthrough ever, say an anti gravity device or for that matter a propulsion system that can achieve 0.99% the speed of light. Try to sell that to the Malaysian Government. Guess what they are going to say? The most likely answers are as follows;
a.) We are not interested.
b.) In how many ministries have you installed this thing?
c.) Can it work? I haven’t heard of this before.
d.) If it is so good you go sell it overseas laa.
Thats right. You are dissapointed because deep down you DONT WANT to believe that you live in a land where clever people are not only neglected but every now and then even persecuted. Remember the “todak (swordfish) melanggar singapura” story? What happened to the brilliant little boy who suggested to erect banana trunks at the beach to defend against the swordfish? Yep. Thats right. They killed him. Beause they fear his cleverness. It is still the same today.
You know what, that is because singapore is SOOOOOO desperate to have more people staying and working for their country, because the reduced number of population in their country, and also the problem of their k-workers preferred to work abroad for more $$. That is how singaporeans are. They’re running out of resources, and they needed to act quick. So that is how they’re reacting to the problem.
That is EXACTLY WHY it is sooo easy to get a Permanent Resident over there. Even a Mat Salleh bartender who came just for a few months can get the PR without hassle.
Even their Singapore Idol allowed someone who ISN’T a singaporean or PR to audition for the show. How ridiculous can that be???????

I totally agree with 15 Ren, but I don’t find it ridiculous at all.
At least over there, you are given opportunity to grow and treated fairly based on your own capability. And don’t forget, our forefathers
were also migrants to this part of the world, at different time in the past!
Are you a Singaporean?
UMNO Dog: just vote 4 Barisan Nasional, problem solved!!!
Period.
me: agree with Mr.Ramli
That bloody red dot is running out of land, space, time and people.
LKY recently said, do the Singaporean young people think that Singapore is just a transit to go to Canada, USA or some other whiter countries?.
That ‘S’ is existing on borrowed time, so it uses all kinds of seduction
to attract people especially chinese even from Malaysia or any dung,( because they are the same, where ever they are ) and water coz they have none.
So The big thing about ‘S’ is that it is an ‘S’.
“AhYap’s Blog – A Place For AhYap To Talk Cock”.
That’s is very true!.
Once, in 2007, while on an Air Asia flight from Kuching to KL, I sat next to a Malay chap with a couple of other Malay girls who were studying in UNIMAS, Sarawak. It was their semester break. I had a small chat with this Malay guy and was told that he was doing Medicine. I was impressed but was immediately dissapointed when he quickly said that he had no interest to become a doctor and that he was not given a choice to choose other courses. I was shocked, angry and disgusted! The quality of our Medical Staff has dropped so much. Recently, I heard some scary news about some young nurses in GH, Kuching. This nurse was giving a number of different medicine to this patient one after the other. BUT, I soon found out from a doctor that these medicine will not be effective if they were given in such a manner because some medicine cannot be mixed and has to be given in the correct time sequence. I have also spoken to a couple of young nurses in I think at Damai Specilaist Hospital and their English was quite bad. Do you think these low class nurses understand all the medical terms and instructions? I have also heard that many overseas hospitals do not view our nurses as world class anymore and they prefer nurses from the Philipines. Well, what do you thinks folks? Would you dare leave your loved ones in the hands of these lousy medical practitioners? Of course, we still have very good doctors and nurses in this country BUT I suggest that you be a little more curious about the medicine, treatment and diagnosis given by these doctors & nurses especially the young Malay ones. The Chinese/Indian ones should be better because only a handful of them were picked to become doctors/nurses which are from the Best. This is Malaysia. If you can find a greener pasture elsewhere, I suggest you go for it. Happy Merdeka folks!
I would just like to say that just because a student has scored straight A’s in theyre exam in SPM STPM PMR or whatever sub-standard education evaluation system in malaysia, it doesnt mean theyre smart.
The problem with the Msian edu system is that they judge u based on your result with exams heavily. This means its quite possible to be a total jackass layabout who does nothing or takes no interest in a subject to score an A(1) for that subject just by cramping at the last minute/ spotting questions(predicted exam questions) etc.. IMHO the edu system shud be totally remodeled, dont base results heavily on exams(pen to paper, memorizing,cramping etc) but it should be more assignment based like maybe 80% assignments(individual and/or group) 20% exams. Also, we should teach EVERY subject in English(Except for B.M, of course). We need to beef up the quality of English among msians… cuz it sucks…
Furthermore, abolish Moral Studies/Pendidikan Moral or whatever u call that useless subject. Should replace it with Sexual Education or a lesson where u actually learn something that can help u in life like how to file for bankruptcy, or how to run for president, or how to find food in the woods, or what to do when u get lost, or what to do when ur being chased by an elephant, etc…
Just my 2 cents…
from my view of point is that. what is the first thing to change is the education system . ESPEcially the quota system.. mission 2020 is getting near and i still no see any improvement. sad and sad. come on , what are the trend now todays?. smart people deserve the rights! i don;t know what country still depend on this Quota system. Even some of my rasional MAlay fren also think that this stupid Quota Edu system need to be “vanish”.
and i am totally agree with what Ah Yap said. i also will be thinking to work at SG since many of my frends already get PR easily after working there. (those my thertiary education fren)
one of my suggestion is to built up more primary school which is not race base. and stop building primary , secondary sch which is more on race. how people can unite since we are not mix with different kind of people since kid. Many smart Malay parents already send thier child to chinese school … no need i explain more… getting 1 more language as it benefit own in future.
Yeah, fuckin system. You can be considered the lucky ones. I was a student at Sam tet too. I was an art stream student and tell you what, it sucked. Because of the perception of people about art stream dudes (That they’re stupid), they being ignored alot and that’s the main reason of the increase rate of student skipping schools. Imagine being called stupid when you’re young and you will not have a good future. So fuck sam tet, fuck malaysia education system and fuck u for complaining!
yeah, the msian education system is a total screw up from university onwards. I’m a top student. I went to JPA for scholarship cos I have pretty good results. By good I mean top in country. Rejected.
Fine, I’ll take my talents and skills elsewhere then.
I’m pretty sure many chinese malaysians wish they can leave malaysia if they have the ability
well, i am studyin at kuching university right now after my spm and after reading this thing……. i kind of WORRYING that im not getting a job!! shuld i move to SINGAPORE??
Msia education really reflects their gov. staff attitude. I think the gov. should ebolish the pencen scheme. These gov. rats should be very grateful that they have all the benefits compared to the private company employee. I still remember what happened to one of my collegue when we are invited by this bastard gov. staff to his office to promote our banking products. When we arrived in his office, he makes fun of us infront of his friends and even called my collegue, who are pregnant at that time, “Kau ni macam sundal pergi dari office ini ke office itu”. To my surprise the actual intention of this bastard is to make fun of individual who are, not by own choice, working as a marketer. Very sad, untill now I still have a grudge towards Masian gov. staff.
Can anybody prove that M’sian gov. staff is hard working. I don’t think anyone can… hehe. Until it is proven, we will still consider them as lazy as pigs (I think pigs are better, at least they have a value in the market hehehe)
