Wake up call! Wake up, parents! It's the DG and his goons that need to be replaced or go through retraining, not your kids!!
Students' Inherent Learning Potential: Most children, if provided with the right teaching strategies, support, and environment, are capable of acquiring basic skills like the 3Rs. When a large proportion fails, it points to systemic issues in the delivery of education. Blaming the students by placing them in extended "remedial" classes risks masking the true problem—the educators’ performance.

Had the teachers been conducting their lessons? Had the head of schools been checking on the running of the classes? Had everyone else been makan gaji buta saja? Do an audit- conduct review....and not be lazy and cosy inside DG office:
At the Year One level, educators play a crucial role in shaping children's basic literacy and numeracy skills. If a significant portion of students fails to meet these fundamental benchmarks, it suggests that the teaching methods employed are inadequate, either in approach or execution.

And edu DG fails everyone else - by failing to make conclusion: If more than 1 in 4 Year One students in Malaysia fail to learn the 3Rs (reading, writing, arithmetic) and are consequently placed in a three-month remedial program, it is reasonable to conclude that the problem lies with the teachers, not the students.

Children raised with rigid indoctrination are more likely to perpetuate the same beliefs to their offspring, creating a cycle that limits intellectual and spiritual freedom. This intergenerational transmission of dogma may prevent future generations from embracing universalist principles or scientific discoveries, further entrenching them in a narrow worldview and hindering societal progress.

Normalization of Discrimination: Just as bullying can create a culture where mistreatment of certain individuals is normalized and accepted, race-based policies can institutionalize racial discrimination, making it a standard practice within society. This normalization can lead to widespread acceptance of racial biases and inequalities.

Technological disruption is phasing out semiconductors, driven by innovations like quantum and photonic computing, which offer faster speeds and lower energy consumption. Quantum computing utilizes qubits, while photonic systems use light, bypassing the need for semiconductor-based architectures. Neuromorphic and molecular electronics, along with spintronics and carbon nanotubes, further present alternatives that enhance efficiency and power. These emerging technologies, including graphene and nanomaterials, could revolutionize computing and storage. However, challenges like scalability, cost, and integration into existing infrastructure persist. While semiconductors remain central today, breakthroughs in these fields could one day eliminate or significantly reduce their use, reshaping industries reliant on traditional chips.

BM struggles to adapt rapidly to new technological developments. Fields like artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and genomics require highly specialized language that BM has not yet developed.
2 months ago | Report Abuse
Bahasa Melayu (BM) faces several challenges in becoming a leading language for science and technology. It lacks a comprehensive scientific vocabulary, often borrowing terms from English, which can hinder precision. The development of BM-based scientific literature is slow, limiting access to cutting-edge knowledge. Its global reach is also minimal, with English dominating international scientific communication, leaving BM speakers at a disadvantage in global collaborations. In education, BM struggles with insufficient technical resources, and policy shifts between BM and English have caused inconsistency in science education. Additionally, BM’s adaptation to rapidly evolving technological fields, like AI and nanotechnology, is slow, contributing to a lag in innovation. Lastly, there is a cultural perception that English is superior for technical fields, creating resistance to BM's expansion in these areas. Overcoming these barriers requires systematic efforts in vocabulary development, education reform, and international collaboration.

Birth rights - Every child has the right to think independently and question the environment they are raised in. Children deserve access to balanced, unbiased education that fosters critical thinking and self-awareness. This includes protection from indoctrination that stunts personal growth or creates harmful mental frameworks.

Society has a responsibility to intervene when children’s development is being hindered by extreme indoctrination, particularly when this impacts their ability to function in a pluralistic society. However, interventions should be designed to respect the child's autonomy and rights while encouraging them to become contributing members of society. Any efforts aimed at rehabilitating and reprogramming heavily indoctrinated children must carefully uphold their birth rights, ensuring that the process focuses on healing and empowerment rather than imposing new constraints. This creates an ethical and responsible framework for nurturing well-rounded, critical thinkers.

Instead of viewing technology as just a tool of capitalist oppression, an optimism-infused Marxism could see technological innovation as a way to empower workers, reduce labor exploitation, and ensure fairer distribution of resources. Automation, AI, and digital platforms could be harnessed to create equitable systems where wealth is shared rather than concentrated.

Cultural Revolution: By promoting creativity, education, and culture that values equality, solidarity, and shared prosperity, Marxist ideas could transform cultural norms in ways that make capitalism's exploitative aspects less acceptable.

When children are taught about a shared human origin, they may become more empathetic and inclusive. Learning about our common ancestors can encourage mutual respect and diminish prejudice, which are critical for transcending race-based political agendas that seek to divide societies.

A strong foundation in science, including human evolution, promotes critical thinking. Children who question and analyze information are less likely to accept race-based political ideologies uncritically. This intellectual empowerment ensures future generations will be more resistant to politically motivated narratives that exploit race for personal gain.

Race-based politics thrives on the notion of division and "us vs. them" narratives. Educating children to appreciate that racial differences are superficial—reflecting geographical adaptations rather than fundamental differences—can help dismantle the societal barriers that enable racial divides. If children grow up understanding that race is a social construct, they are less likely to be manipulated by divisive political rhetoric.

Retrain educators, teachers and administrators for major paradigm shift: Train educators to handle diverse classrooms sensitively and to discourage racial or religious segregation in learning environments. Teachers are key influencers in shaping students' views on race and identity. Ensure that rewards, opportunities, and recognition are based on merit, character, and contribution rather than ethnic or racial quotas. Teach children how to handle disagreements and conflicts through dialogue and cooperation, fostering a spirit of compromise and unity that can be translated to political life later.

1. While it’s true that Malaysia is a multi-lingual society, unlike using Arabic terms or jawi writing, writing in global language i.e. English is not necessarily alienating but rather inclusive, providing access to a broader audience who are part of Malaysia's socio-political fabric.
2. While simpler language can be more accessible, educating the public should involve raising the bar of discourse, not lowering it to the lowest common denominator. Malaysians, like any other people, have a diverse range of educational backgrounds, and many appreciate the opportunity to engage with more sophisticated ideas.
3. Appealing to the heart and emotions can be effective, but it shouldn't come at the cost of intellectual engagement. Writing that is emotionally intelligent but grounded in well-reasoned arguments has the power to influence both the heart and mind. Reducing political discourse to just emotional appeals (like Akmalkin Skywalker) underestimates the electorate's potential for critical thinking and growth.
4. You may need to change name to outdatedguy (no more dividendguy). Words have never been sharper with the coming of big-data driven decision-making era. While physical action is important, written words have the power to inspire, educate, and shift mindsets. They provide a record of thought, are shareable, and can reach far beyond the confines of a single event or physical space. In the digital age, written words, especially when backed by data and solid reasoning, can go viral and resonate with vast audiences. The written word can also catalyze physical change by informing and rallying people to act.

Know this - Accountability of Teachers: Teachers are professionally trained to cater to diverse learning styles and paces. If more than a quarter of students are failing, it shows a breakdown in differentiated instruction, classroom management, or engagement. In such cases, the focus should shift to retraining the teachers or, if necessary, replacing those who cannot meet the required standards.
