Menentang Sekolah Satu Aliran Menengah Sahaja~ Patutnya Semua Jenis Sekolah !!

Kecoh satu Malaysia tentang cadangan Sekolah Satu Aliran. Ada yg menentang, ada yg menyokong. Apa-apapun semua ada pendapat masing-masing. Tapi yg menjadi musykil adalah kenapa permintaan untuk dijadikan satu sekolah diputar belit seolah-olah meminta rakyat hanya meminta 1Sekolah diperingkat Menengah shj?

Malahan di muka depan Utusan seolah-olah rakyat mahukan Sistem Satu Aliran Sekolah Menengah. Cek cukup kecewa bagaimana aspirasi rakyat yg memintak 1Sekolah utk semua sekolah dikecikkan skopnya kepada Sekolah Menengah.

Sejak bila yg diminta adalah utk sekolah Menengah sahaja? Yg diminta adalah 1Sekolah utk semua jenis sekolah baik Sekolah Menengah mahupun Sekolah Rendah. Pandai betui kerajaan. Tahula MCA & MIC tentang jika Sekolah Rendah disatukan tapi takkan nak korbankan sekolah Menengah yg rata-rata sekolah seperti MRSM, SBP, dll disatukan?

Nampak tak apa yg diminta & dipertikai. Ada golongan tertentu yg meminta Sekolah Menengah disatukan kerana mereka mahukan peluang utk masuk ke Sekolah berprestij seperti MRSM, MCKK, SBP dll. Tapi dalam pada itu mereka tak mahu Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan dihapuskan? INI TIDAK ADIL & Cukup bahaya.
Kepada Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Dato Seri Najib. Jika Dato' serius ttg sekolah satu aliran, jgn diberi 'pengecualian' khusus kepada sekolah-sekolah tertentu seperti sekolah jenis kebangsaan/ rendah. Tetapi jika serius ttg penyatuan 1Sekolah maka ia perlu diselaraskan baik di peringkat rendah mahupun Menengah.

Kepada Utusan, jgn sokong membuta tuli. Faham dulu apa yg diminta & diperjuang. Penyatuan Sekolah Menengah bermakna hanya membuka sekolah2 yg memberi kesan org Melayu sahaja. Juga bermakna sekolah jenis Kebangsaan diberi pengecualian utk bersatu. Berapa banyak lagi org Melayu nak berkorban sedangkan tidak nampak usaha dr pihak bukan melayu utk berasimilasi dgn org melayu. Tgk sajalah MIC & MCA.

Apa-apapun syabas Dato Seri Najib kerana berani membuka & komen ttg tajuk 1School berbanding Timbalannya 'Muhyiddin Yasin' yg terus shoot down the proposal bbrp bulan lepas tanpa mendengar pandangan rakyat.

p/s: Hati2. Rata-rata tahu Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan hanya pada sekolah rendah bukan menengah.

Sokonglah kempen Aspirasi 1Sekolah tapi BUKAN 1Sekolah utk Menengah sahaja. VOTE disini.

PPSMI Antara Harapan & Realilti

Salam.

Pertama kalinya saya panjatkan kesyukuran kerana Kabinet telah membatalkan "Pengajaran Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris" @ PPSMI.

Harapan

Perlu dilihat pada tahun 2003 dibawah Tun Dr Mahathir dasar ini diperkenalkan. Ia diperkenalkan bertujuan murni iaitu utk melihat bangsa Malaysia berdaya saing di peringkat global sejajar dgn trend Globalisasi dunia. Pada ketika itu penentangan PPSMI tidak sehebat mana. Malah ramai yg bersetuju dgn cadangan tersebut atas dasar & harapan kerajaan yg dinyatakan sebelum ini.

Terdapat sedikit kecacatan diwaktu perlaksanaan PPSMI sewaktu itu. Antaranya adalah kekurangan guru yg mahir dalam kedua2 matapelajaran PPSMI. Apa2pun kita perlu tahu perlaksanaan PPSMI adalah usaha murni kerajaan utk meningkatkan daya saing rakyat terhadap pasaran global.

ATAS Dasar Itu Ramai Menyokong Perlaksanaan PPSMI (saya juga)

Realiti

Setelah hampir 6 tahun PPSMI diperkenalkan, tahun demi tahun pemantauan dibuat utk melihat keberkesanannya. Realitinya ternyata program PPSMI tidak berjaya & tidak mencapat sasaran terutama sekali bila melibatkan kawasan pedalaman.

Mungkin ramai yg kecewa & mungkin ramai yg suka. Pada dasarnya saya menentang PPSMI bukan kerana bahasa jiwa bangsa, bukan kerana takut kepada kedudukan BM & bukan kerana politik sepeti PAS. Tetapi adalah kerana memikirkan nasib pelajar Luar bandar jika PPSMI diteruskan.

Kita sudah sedia maklum Subjek Bahasa Inggeris sendiri menjadi Tabo' kepada kebanyakan pelajar luar bandar, jadi adakah menjadi kan PPSMI sebagai sandaran adalah langkah bijak. Kita juga tahu yg serba serbi pelajar luar bandar adalah terkebelakang maka dgn adanya polisi ini akan menyebabkn mereka lebih ketinggalan. Bila pemberian biasiswa nnti adalah berdasarkan merit jadi dimana pelajar2 luar bandar kita?

Seperti kita suruh lumba lari 100m antara budak umur 15 (pelajar dlm bandar) vs 12 tahun (pelajar luar bandar). Kemudian pelajar 15 tahun tu pulak dapat training dr guru sukan profesional.. Itulah keadaannya.. Jika PPSMI diteruskan & berdasarkan statistic makin tinggilah kadar drop-out dikalangan pelajar luar bandar & makin tinggilah jurang antara pelajar bandar & luar bandar.

Dan dengan keadaan sekarang Polisi Kerajaan yg cenderung memberi bantuan biasiswa berdasarkan merit maka tak mustahil rata2 yg menerima biasiswa ini merupakan pelajar bandar yg berkemampuan.

~~

Isu PPSMI diharap tidak dipolitikkan. Ia hanya merupakan Harapan murni Tun Mahathir @ kerajaan terdahulu. Tetapi Realitinya PPSMI jelas tidak menguntungkan majoriti Pelajar malaysia terutama pelajar luar bandar.

PPSMI : Wajarkah diteruskan @ dibatalkan?

PPSMI : Wajarkah diteruskan @ dibatalkan?

Sudah sedia maklum byk perbezaan pendapat bila berhadapan dgn Isu ini. Terbaru apabila GAPENA mengungut utk menyaman Kementerian Pelajaran. Syabas saya ucapkan. Nyata GAPENA amat tegas bila berhadapan dgn Isu ini.

Malah website @ gerakan anti-PPSMI telahpun ditubuhkan & mendapat sokongan byk pihak. PKPIM juga merupakan antara badan NGO yg menentang perlaksanaan PPSMI.

Saya sebenar pada awalnya berbelah bagi bila berhadapan isu ini pada masa lalu. Tetapi keadaan telah berubah bilamana 'feedback' dr rakan2 guru di pedalaman menyatakan PPSMI hanya akan menyisihkan pelajar luar bandar. Siapa lagi yg patut beri pendapat? Adakah persidangan meja bulat yg dihadiri oleh cerdik pandai & intelektual ?
Saya berpendapat org yg paling layak merupakan guru2 di pedalaman adalah insan malaysia yg paling layak memberikan pendapat dalam isu ini.

Kepada pihak kementerian & ahli2 meja bulat! Tidakkah mereka pergi melihat, membuat kajian & mencari 'feedback' pada pelajar2 pedalaman? Tidakkah mereka bertanya pada guru2 yg penat lelah jerih mengajar dlm bahasa yg tidak difahami oleh murid? Adakah sanggup kerajaan mengorbankan pelajar2 luar bandar hanya utk memenuhi selera sesetengah intelektual & pelajar2 bandar. Lebih kajian diperlukan utk mengesan impak kehadapan bila perkara ini dilaksanakan.
Sebenarnya telah ada kajian2 luar mengenai impak PPSMI patut dijadikan renungan :

UNESCO.

Laporan pakar-pakar pendidikan luar negara dan UNESCOmenunjukkan bahawa perubahan bahasa pengantar dalam keadaan kanak-kanakmasih belum menguasai bahasa ibunda akan memburukkan prestasi pembelajaranmereka. Ini kerana kanak-kanak seharusnya menggunakan bahasa yang merekapaling fahami untuk tujuan belajar supaya mencapai keberkesanan pembelajaranyang optimum, terutamanya dalam mata pelajaran Sains dan Matematik.

Sekalipun menggunakan bahasa ibunda, kedua-dua mata pelajaran ini masih menjadi satumasalah untuk dikuasai sepenuhnya, maka sekiranya bahasa asing yang merekakurang biasa dijadikan bahasa pengantar bagi mata pelajaran Sains dan Matematik,sudah pasti menjejaskan keberkesanan pembelajaran dengan teruk sekali.

Kajian luar negara membuktikan bahawa penggunaan bahasa kedua atau bahasaselain daripada bahasa ibunda dalam peringkat awal persekolahan akan membawakesan negatif terhadap perkembangan daya pemikiran kanak-kanak danmenyebabkan kemerosotan prestasi akademik dalam mata pelajaran Sains,Matematik dan bahasa. Maka, kepentingan pendidikan bahasa ibunda amatditegaskan oleh pakar-pakar pendidikan luar negara dan UNESCO.

KONGRESS PENDIDIKAN MELAYU.

Kongres Pendidikan Melayu Ke-2 yang dianjurkan pada bulan Mac 2005,secara lantang menunjukkan bahawa kira-kira 500 ribu orang pelajar Melayu akan keciciran dalam Sains dan Matematik akibat kegagalan menguasaibahasa Inggeris. Tidak dilupa tentangan juga diterima daripada pihak2 SJK Tamil & Cina.

Perlaksaan PPSMI pada saya harus ditentang kerana tiada manfaatnya pada pelajar di peringkat awal. Apa masalahnya kalau belajar dalam Bahasa Malaysia @ dwi-bahasa? Jgn kita bebankan lagi murid2 yg rata2 berumur lingkungan 7-12 tahun dgn 'high expectation' drpd kita. Jika tujuan adalah utk meningkatkan penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris terlalu byk cara lain yg berkesan. Ini adalah antara cara 'simple' pihak kementerian boleh laksanakan demi utk meningkatkan penguasaan bahasa kedua ini :-

1- Menganjurkan lebih byk pertandingan debat / kuiz sains & matematik dlm bahasa inggeris di luar bandar.
2- Menganjurkan seminar bahasa inggeris yg wajib dihadiri oleh pelajar2 sekolah. (ala2 PLKN). Terutama pada pelajar2 yg lemah bahasa inggeris.
3- Menambahkan lebih byk tenaga pengajar di bidang bahasa inggeris.
4- Buat kempen supaya ibu bapa mengasuh menggunakan bahasa Inggeris dirumah.

Banyak lagi cadangan mungkin boleh dibincangkan utk meningkatkan penguasaan bahasa universal (BI) ttp jgnlah sehinggakan Bahasa Malaysia dianaktirikan sedemikian rupa.

Syabas diucapkan pada Dato' Khir Toyo yg juga bertegas menentang pelaksanaan PPSMI. Malah beliau juga memberikan pendapat yg baik dlm menambah baikkan keberkesanan PPSMI. Adalah hairan bilamana kebanyakan ahli politik tidak bersuara bila berhadapan dgn isu ini.

Di mana PAS dalam isu memperjuangkan Bahasa Melayu dalam Matematik dan Sains (PPSMI)?
Mereka lantang mengkritik bila berhadapan dgn isu2 tertentu. Ttp dalam isu ini, tidak terdengar kenyataan pimpinan tertinggi dlm berhadapan isu ini meskipun pada permulaan dahulunya merekalah yg menentang idea tersebut. Kenapa sekarang diam membisu?

Dimana suara PKR sedangkan didalam Kongress mereka baru2 ini ada perwakilan guru yg menaikkan isu tersebut ? Kenapa Dato' Seri Anwar diam membisu isu ini? Adakah takut hilang penyokong ?

Dimana lagi suara2 pejuang2 Bahasa Kebangsaan yg lain. Mana suara2 kepimpinan UMNO yg lain? Jgn hanya berckp soal bangsa ttp asas bahasa tidak dipertahankan.

Kesimpulannya perlaksaan PPSMI hanya akan mengkronikkan masalah keciciran pelajar hatta akan meningkatkan jurang perbezaan bandar vs Luar bandar. Jgnlah jadi seperti "Kera di hutan disusukan, anak dirumah mati kelaparan".

Scrap vernacular schools, one system for all. Mukhriz

Scrap vernacular schools, one system for all. Mukhriz

KUALA LUMPUR Monday December 1, 2008 : Umno Youth chief aspirant Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir has called on the Government to abolish the vernacular school system as a means to enhance unity among people of various races.

He said a single school system was the only way to check the racial polarisation that was getting out of control in the country.

“The government should consider introducing only one school system with Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction, except for Science and Mathematics which are already being taught in English.

“Of course, pupils should then be given the option to study their mother tongues. Under this system, the Malays will also have the option of studying other languages like Mandarin and Tamil and this will further boost unity among them,” he told reporters at Parliament House on Monday.

The Umno Youth exco member said it was time for Malaysia to do away with the dual school system, which was practised by only a handful of countries in the world, as it had contributed to the problem of disunity in the country.

He said over 99% of countries in the world practised a single school system.
He expressed hope that leaders of Barisan Nasional component parties would not take his suggestion in a negative light as it was only meant as a suggestion to resolve, once and for all, the problem of racial polarisation affecting the citizenry.

“If they reject this suggestion, then they should explain why they are against it. How is it possible for them on one hand to talk about unity and question Malay rights, while on the other hand still insist on having a different school system for their race?
“If you want equal rights then you cannot have a different school system. You cannot have your cake and eat it too,” he added.

He also urged all parties to stop harping on issues that could create tension among Barisan component parties, including on the issue of Ketuanan Melayu or Malay supremacy.
Lately, he said, there were many statements made by leaders of component parties that had the potential to create anger among the Malays and Umno members.

“If they insist on making statements on that issue, then do not be surprised if the Malays start talking about the economic supremacy of the non-Malays.

“Despite all that has been said on the issue of Malay supremacy, the Malays do not feel in any ---way superior or the master when it comes to the country’s economy,” he said.

Other Perspektif :-

At last somebody have the guts to speak. Dato' Mukriz i salute u. I hope more MP's from UMNO, PKR & PAS are supporting this. Why can't we assimilate with other races. A lot of blogger are talking about this since a long time. I've also express my feeling towards this issue last month in one of my article. The non-malay spoke openly about malay rights, ketuanan melayu & other thing. Let us see how will they react by this.

I'm not surprise if they call Dato Mukriz a racist :).

I really hope that UMNO leaders will support this ideas & PKR leader DSAI have the guts to support it as well. Also can't wait to see what DAP have to say & PAS as well. Oh not to forget MCA MIC & Gerakan. :)

We can see now who are the true leader of unity & equality which will leads us in the years to come. Not like some so called leaders which take issues selectively for political reason.

We'll see. comments

Education. Are we in the right direction?

We always been talking about unity & bangsa malaysia.

But there's simple issue which will effect unity still there. We must acknowledge this unity must start from the beginning of schooldays or from young generations.

I'm going to talk about Sek Jenis Kebangsaan. Many might not agreed on what i said but it is the fact that all must think deeply with an open heath.

The schools make us apart in a way & we tend to be not mixed with each other. Imagine that we tends to be separated in the beginning. I must say that the current school system is a good reason the rift between races is so big as now.

Even worst nowdays, where 90% of non-malays tends to send their kids to this kind school. So think about it when will your kids blend with others. If this simple thing cannot start from the beginning, when can we start then?

I'm not sure how old are you or where do u learn during your old days. But for me i venture having friends with different races in those days. Those friends still stick up till now. This is among simple unity which will breed up till we grow.

To think about it ? when do we tend to have mixed friends. It is either from university or at work. Why can't we start from the beginning. Which is from school days. Not that i'm against the Sek Jenis Kebangsaan thing but this actually will segregate the community.

I suggested we implement a single streamlined school system but give everyone the option to learn Chinese and/or Tamil regardless of race. We need to more or less help to close our gaps between races. Strengthen our brotherhood & at least make us less prejudice between each other. What's the point having bangsa malaysia if still we prioritise motherland tongue rather that interest of malaysia.

By separating our kids wont help in the long run. We can start with our children. Children cannot distinguish between races (just like the Petronas advertisement). . Kids will become awkward when confronting other kids.

Ask yourself ? How in the oldays u were raise. Maybe bloggers within my age are lucky to have mixed culture due to this Sek KEbangsaan is not that famous in oldays. But nowdays, its become a trend especially in Suburbs. comments

Mapex 2008 & National Graduate CaReer Carnival 2008

I end my weekend with attending two different event at MegaMall. Actually the true reason i went there was to accompany my friend in hoping to hunt for an affordable property for himself.

Unfortunately, after nearly 2 hours walking around the MAPEX exhibition centre we realise something. It's quite impossible to get an affordable property now days. Most of the property ranges 200k above for condos & apartments, 450k above for landed properties. However, in the mist of the upset we manage to meet developer of apartment which price more or less around his budget. One is in Kajang (about 10km away from Kajang itself) & one is near the border of Shah Alam Klang (JPJ & Puspakom Batu 13). Unfortunately both are far away from civilisation & basic transportation need such as LRT, Komuter or etc2.

Among the developers involved are I&P, Mutiara Rini, Platinum Victory, Sunway City & many more. The government agency involved are Kementerian Pelancongan, Kementerian Perumahan & Kerajaan Tempatan & Perbendaharaan Malaysia. Non-developers include USM, I-Property & Ho Chin Soon Research (with nice details maps seller). Not to forget the banks which one of the pretty ladies managed force me to sign up with their credit card application (which i will cut it anyway when it arrived).
----
When the hopes seems to fade we went out the MAPEX 2008 & head to another event which is National Graduate Career Carnival 2008. Maybe this will cheer him up i think (a lot of young beautiful graduates among the visitors).

Its quite a surprise with the turn up. A lot of grads & students. Its a great & happening event. Seems that all the visitors were well dressed & some managed to slip through an interview session with the companies participating.

Among the company involved were Aker Solutions, CCM, Telekom, Perodua, Ann Joo, Walton International, Scomi, Mox & many more. Some University also taking the chance to offer Msc & Phd (UTP, USM, UIA).

----

I must say its a great & marvelous event which gives great opportunity to graduates. I never thought there's a lot of jobs out there. Anyway, by pretending being one of the job seekers i fill in the forms & also managed to have chat with company representative (but not to the extend of attending interview). I think my friend was more thrill about this event. He managed to talk to some Oil & Gase company which he's interested & was also been invited to drop/ email them a CV (since what's he's doing right now is similar to the current vacancies).

After observation of this two great event i realise something. Most of the participants coming to the MAPEX are non-bumi's & most of participants in Career Carnival were Bumi's. Not that i want to be particular about it. But, Its the fact. I observed it myself. There's a lot of differences. I can see most of the sales for high price $$ properties were non-bumi's buyers. Even the middle class properties were mostly sold to non-bumi customers. Its seems that the bumi's purchasing power still very low. I can see the the property which priced 100k below packed with bumi's & some Indians.

Opposite to that, the graduate carnival were pack with quite balance number of every races. Of course the bumi's were slightly higher in number.

Final Notes: -

Whatever it is, i would like to congratulate the organiser of MAPEX 2008 which is REHDA & supported by Kementerian Perumahan & Kerajaan Tempatan for a great event. I also congratulate the organiser of National Graduate Career Carnival 2008 which is Ministry of Higher Education & supported by Kementerial Sumber Manusia/ Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia/ Pemuda UMNO for a great opportunity for graduates & to be workers. http://www.mycef.com.my/

May this two kind of event shall be made regularly. BRaVo!!
