Breakfast this morn centered on discussions regarding my boss - hm, he's okay, it's just that when he's kinda moody, the whole workplace is infected... so basically at present, we kinda feel gloomy a bit...
That aside, there are some interesting news in the country.
i. UPSR results - some quarters are claiming that the results prove that ETeMS is not a
failure. Hm... and as if we don't know better. Being an English teacher, who used to teach in
a not-so-good school, whatever I think is not fit to be in print here. Go figure!
ii. Dr M, in a forum Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa somehow made some interesting statements about
this BM thingy, on how some people are not serious in upholding the national language's
importance, bla, bla... Well, who do you think made ETeMS a possibility some 6 years back?
That's Malaysia boleh! (Eat your heart out, Americans, we have this Malaysia Boleh chants
waaaaaaaaaay earlier than your Yes We Can!)
iii. Meanwhile, the DPM says......(from The Star) There should be an intellectual renaissance to
open up and liberate the minds of students, and this should start in the universities, said
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.“Our education system must change. Our children are just not
curious enough. They must be curious about the world. They must ask questions,” the
Deputy Prime Minister said.
Well, maybe we're gonna hear the end of AUKU soon?
iv. And, something interesting from the Penang's SLA meeting :
“We urge the Opposition leader to be like a cat, to be competent and rationale towards all
races because as what China’s great leader Deng Xiao Ping had said, ‘it doesn’t matter
whether the cat is white or black as long as it is efficient in catching mice’,” he said.
v. Ayah Pin is back!!! Need I say more?
