The federal government has been accused of trying to eliminate the growth of vernacular languages in the country with its latest 'magical' 10-subject formula for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). Penang Deputy Chief Minister 2 P Ramasamy said by limiting SPM students to only 10 subjects, the Education Ministry had effectively unveiled a grand plan to purge Tamil and Mandarin as vernacular languages not only in the education system, but also in the country. He said the students should be allowed to take up at least 12 subjects to enable them to sit for their respective vernacular language and literature subjects. He pointed out that the 10-subject grand plan would first discourage students from taking up their mother tongue subjects at secondary and tertiary levels, which ultimately would create a severe shortage of teachers in vernacular schools. He said if this was allowed, all 534 existing Tamil schools would eventually close down. "Without Tamil schools and teachers, ...

Gem : Punish the money changer, and end of story? What about the person who used that money changer? What was that remittance of so much money for? Louis : In the end, there'll be no case. Read my lips: No case. When former Selangor menteri besar Muhammad Muhammad Taib was caught with a bagful of cash in Australia, what action was taken? Remember the currency controls then, when we could not even send 10,000 Australian dollars overseas without permission. Hardtail : Shouldn't someone be probing Bank Negara? How many of these transfers by our politicians have gone through under Bank Negara's radar? Why only take action when alerted by the opposition? The rakyat's money is being sucked out by these people. Wisdom4 : If it is true the Negri Sembilan menteri besar was involved in such transactions, Bank Negara Malaysia and the MACC should spring into action. Haul up the MB for further questioning. The said transaction contravenes the foreign exchange regulations of the coun...

No brainwashing in BTN courses, says Muhyiddin Ministers defend 'racist' BTN courses Gblk7277: I have attended this BTN course. Yes, it is a brainwashing session where they were telling us that the other races must get a lesser amount of 'durian' because we are the 'pendatang' and we had agreed to accept a lesser amount. Therefore we could not question anything, just shut up and eat the 'durian' you get or go back to China or India. It's very much politically biased and they were showing recordings of the Bersih and Hindraf rallies saying chaos will take place if we don't support BN. And that our country will be destroyed. 'Learning about 1Malaysia, about nationalism and unity'? My foot. Camverra Jose Maliamauv: In the year 2000, during my first year at Universiti Teknologi Petronas, I was one of those selected to attend the Kem Bina Negara. We were sent to an army camp in Kedah. Out of all the lectures and physical activities etc, I wil...

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil was asked to clarify if it was government policy to convert young children, especially minors, into Islam while being under the care of government welfare homes. PKR Kedah deputy youth chief Gooi Hsiao Leung said Shahrizat's clarification was imperative following a controversial statement by Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Mashitah Ibrahim, who praised such conversions. "Mashitah's statement is scandalous and reckless. Shahrizat should take an immediate stand on it," said Gooi. He also wants Shahrizat to clarify whether Mashitah's remarks were made in her personal capacity or from her official position in the Putrajaya administration. Gooi, a practicing lawyer, is the legal counsel for S Banggarma, 27, who had claimed she was converted by Islamic authorities at the age of seven. She alleged the conversion took place on Dec 28, 1989 while she was residing in a welfare ho...

The Selangor government today announced that its civil servants, students in state-owned higher learning institutions and employees in state subsidiaries will be barred from attending nation-building programmes carried out by Biro Tatanegara. The programmes were described as tools of indoctrination, peppered with racist ideas. State exco in charge of education and higher education Dr Halimah Ali said the new policy would be implemented with immediate effect after the state government issues formal instructions to the institutions involved. She told reporters in Shah Alam that the decision was made based on feedback from participants.
