I am not sure what to make of this. Malaysia stands at 14th in the world and 2nd in the Asean region for quality of education.How nice if true!
Scrumptious! Suddenly, with the blink of an eye, Malaysians were smarter than the rest of the world.
Here, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng rubbished the Minister of Education Muhyiddin Yassin for his mumbo-jumbo.
Here, the nerdish Oxbridge fella and Mr Know-It-All also ridiculed the minister.
I am not sure if Muhyiddin actually read the report himself or was spoon-fed by his staffs, who, probably, has little understanding of the reports.I, myself, find it quite difficult to translate some of the report to layman's terms.
It is about global competitiveness and performance.Malaysia came at No.21 on the list, which is not bad for a small country that get rubbished all the times by the opposition Pakatan Rakyat.Read the report here.
Not all reports get the right feedback to arrive at a sensible assumption.I don't believe our education system is of better quality than U.S,U.K,Germany, Australia and Singapore.If that was the case, why are we still sending our students to these places? Read world education ranking here.
Malaysia was not even in the top 30.Where the magic number 14 came from I have no idea. Maybe, Muhyiddin should publish his source to salvage his reputation.
For the honorable minister I suggest he checks his fact first before he says something that could embarrass himself.

Forced To Wear A Tudung
Hantu Laut
The Daily Express today reported how a student in a Labuan mission school was traumatised when forced to wear the tudung or headscarf by a teacher who threatened her with bodily harm by brandishing a cane.
On Aug 17 the student was bullied into wearing one and was fined RM1 for not complying.On Aug 19 the parents found her in distress when they went to collect her because she was held back for 20 minutes and forced to wear the tudung by the teacher.
The parents have written a protest letter to the Director-General of Education.
The question is who empowered the teacher to execute such authority? Shouldn't she be removed from her job for exceeding her scope of duties?
My last question to my fellow Muslims, does it makes one not wearing a tudung less moral?
It is high time the government clamp down on this kind of rogue teachers who are better suited to teach in a madarasah than a secular school.
We had complaint of a racist teacher in a school in Johore now we have an over-zealous religious bigot who exceeded the bounds of her duties.

Come Rape Me
Hantu Laut
On the 7 of October 2000 Noor Suzaily Mukhtar (photo below), a computer engineer took the public bus to work thinking it was the safest mode of transport for her as there would be many people on the bus.
She had no inkling that fate would take an evil turn that day that would take her on a horrifying journey to her death.She was raped, sodomised and brutally murdered in the bus by the driver. The perpetrator, Hanafi Mat Hassan is a married man with family of his own.
Noor Suzaily Mukhtar was a good Muslim girl who dressed accordingly.She was not in any revealing dress or made any attempt to dress in such a way to attract the opposite sex or to arouse their sexual appetite.She was properly attired and wore a tudung (headscarf) yet she was raped and killed.
Schools girls Farra Derba Rustam and Nurul Hanis Kamil (photo left) who were adolescence also met the same fate on February 13th and July 3rd 2001 respectively. They were young innocent girls who were just reaching puberty and wouldn't have yet reached the level of sexuality to know how to be attractive to the opposite sex.
Than there was the famous case of Canny Ong who was kidnapped from the basement car park of Bangsar Shopping Centre brutally raped and murdered, also by a married man.The case of Nurin Jazlin, the pretty 7 year old girl brutally raped, murdered and her body stuffed in a bag.The latest case was Sharliene Mohd Nashar abducted on Jan 10 2008 and still missing.Are the dresses they used on the fateful day to be blamed for what happened to them.
There were many similar rapes and murders with many cases remain unsolved.
None of those victims were in revealing dresses yet they were raped and killed.
It is most disheartening that such shallow statement should come from the vice-president of the National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia. Munirah Bahari (photo left) who, like many religious bigots in this country, were just too lazy to do her homework before she opens her big mouth and embarrass herself.Even if she wishes to seek some publicity, at least do it with some finesse.
I find it intolerable that she uses religion to try score a point on a subject that concerned Malaysians of every race, colour and creed.If she has done her homework she wouldn't be making such presumptuous conclusion.
Police statistics on rape shows the breakdown of rape victims in the year 1995 as shown below:
Malays (645)
Chinese (139)
Indians ( 97 )
Others (124)
The statistic above may shock Munirah.Most rape victims were Malay girls and most of them were dressed in compliance of Islamic dress code.Why are they raped? Are they more licentious?Should they be blamed for the rape?
There have been cases where even 70 year old grandmother had been raped by rapist less than half her age.Is she to be blamed for the way she dressed?
It is also an insult on the male psyche that she thinks of a girl or woman who dressed attractively as fair game for rape.Maybe, Munirah should take a trip to South Beach in Florida or Copacabana Beach in Rio, Brazil and see for herself how thousands of naked and half-naked women in all shapes and sizes frolicking the beach with hardly any of them getting raped.
Although she is not completely wrong in her observation, she could have better presented the case if she had looked at it from a moral standpoint rather than religious viewpoint.
I certainly agree students should have proper dress code and transparent blouses for girls may not be appropriate attire in schools.The Ministry of Education should look into it and rectify the problem if it is true.
Munirah also said "It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it," she said of the current uniform.

"All this leads to babies born out of wedlock and to an extent, even prostitution," she said.
Gosh! Where this gosling come from. Go back to school, baby!
