Because MARA and SAR existence are in line with our constitution to uphold the special right of Malay and Islam. Not doing it is like not upholding the constitution.<br /><br />But I do agree that SBP and need to be open more or scrapped altogether with vernacular schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-69395675799783331762009-05-20T17:24:35.930+08:002009-05-20T17:24:35.930+08:00as a sidetrack - mr goh- how about you give us a p...as a sidetrack - mr goh- how about you give us a piece of your mind regarding the biggest story of the decade - the PKFZ MCA project..?<br /><br />we like to know velly much.<br /><br />Sir AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-24522174849236799522009-05-20T14:20:40.729+08:002009-05-20T14:20:40.729+08:00Dear Sir,
Although the petition may not sound pal...Dear Sir,<br /><br />Although the petition may not sound palatable to everyone (supporters & dissenters inclusive), I think one should not just zoomed in on what was written in the petition word by word. It could be the case as commented above by MD ..<I>"But the plea must be better written..."</I>To me, I see "Nation Building" more than "the menace of Vernacular school". Maybe the time has come to warrant serious attention from the leaders before Malaysia become even more "Not United" (mind you, language alone have put many of us "not-on-speaking-term") and as such, some of us get a little bit strong with words or some of us do not understand it fairly well and think it was a little bit too strong.<br /><br />When we are not "on speaking term" at the very first level of different languages we use, then, how is it possible to develop understanding and there on mutual trust amongst us? In this respect, I would be thankful if you could research how the Australians build their nation to emerge as Bangsa Australia. I request this because I do not hear fancy phrases like "Malaysia is Truly Asia", "Unity through Diversity" and the like in Australia and even America where I studied before. These phrases are very nice to hear, top-notch advertisement catch, but are they really praticable in Nation Building of One true Bangsa Malaysia?<br /><br />Personally, to me, this school campaign emerges from the call for <A HREF="http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2008/11/racial-polarisation-and-forging-of.html" REL="nofollow"> Bangsa Malaysia - A Call for Nation Building</A> and this must be initiated at the very early, fertile young minds, which is right from "Bangku Sekolah".<br /><br />If one reads the Memo here, (<A HREF="http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2009/05/satu-sekolah-untuk-semua.html" REL="nofollow"> Memorandum to TPM</A>) having Nation Building in his mind (not Vernacular school), I guess, a true Malaysian, could not help but lend his/her support to this campaign. You can see a few who are against the way the petition was written but still lend their support in the name of Nation Building at the petition site <A HREF="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/kempen-satu-sekolah-untuk-semua" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<br /><br />The Memo calls for in depth study of our education system even though references are made toward the effects of vernacular schools.<br /><br />If at all there are discrepancies in Sekolah Kebangsaan, shouldn't we as a true Malaysians work on its improvement rather than hastily "jump into another boat"? Or is it just an excuse to keep on embracing mother tongue? (pardon me if you find it harsh, but I have let go my Melayu Jawi to embrace Bahasa Kebangsaan for the sake of Bangsa Malaysia and trying my best to be Malaysian, from Melayu, accordance to the Rukun Negara & Perlembagaan Malaysia) Is the "separate ways" of vernacular schools (as we know, using non-National language as the medium thus putting the Perlembagaan Malaysia at back seat) more important than Bangsa Malaysia?<br /><br />Thanks for your time.<br /><br />"SATU BANGSA, SATU NEGARA, SATU BAHASA"<br /><br />NJNJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-51641069027074454552009-05-20T11:17:10.062+08:002009-05-20T11:17:10.062+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145634846691380867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-85650018454099700102009-05-20T11:17:02.336+08:002009-05-20T11:17:02.336+08:00I like Jimmy's use of the ball-sucking scenario as...I like Jimmy's use of the ball-sucking scenario as an example for this matter.

St Michael's Institution is not a religious school and it is totally different from SAR types.<br /><br />In SMI, the school practices respect for multifaiths where assembly sessions begin with prayers from all religion and school holiday allocations are divided equally among all religion and race.<br /><br />Thank you for the inputs.Goh Wei Lianghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183472011202771675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-79912542293918073732009-05-20T10:44:48.290+08:002009-05-20T10:44:48.290+08:00So touching on Sekolah Agama is religion and missi...So touching on Sekolah Agama is religion and missionary school like St. Michael is not. Not everything has to be linked back to religion, does eating paha ayam kat McD makes one an infidel too? McD is afterall the evil corporaiton from an infidel country.<br /><br />I've talked up this issue with my friend, Wei Liang and my stand is this.<br /><br />Yes the source of disunity is the segregation during one's upbringing but my approach in tackling the issue differs from the author of 1Sekolah.<br /><br />Let's use an example to illustrate my meaning. Does it makes any difference when you get a girl to suck your balls by bitchslapping her and cajoling her and paying her to suck your balls? After all you achieve the same results.<br /><br />Malaysians regardless of their race want their best for their children. If they perceive vernacular schools give their child advantage when they enter the workforce, they will send their child there. My point is, if national type school can be perceived as competitive and top notch, no parents would want to send their child to a vernacular school whose financial conditions are quesitonable and wouldn't it be better to send their child to a national type school if a school with sufficient funding means better education quality?<br /><br />The moment this issue is solved, Malaysians regardless of their race will say fuck race and religion, I want the best for my kids and they will come in drove to get their kids enrolled in national school.<br /><br />A very different approach, stick VS carrotJimmy Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878662501892483837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-59042037321858655352009-05-20T10:05:37.317+08:002009-05-20T10:05:37.317+08:00hey i dont think u shud include sekolah agama in t...hey i dont think u shud include sekolah agama in there. dont touch on religion la bro.1Sekolahhttp://www.anwaribrahimdotcom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-17264969677858705472009-05-20T09:52:55.226+08:002009-05-20T09:52:55.226+08:00Agree with you bro.
