Wikipedia Talk About Malaysia Chinese Education

Wikipedia, a well known website surfed by almost everyone in the world, discussed about the Chinese education in Malaysia, you can find the link here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_Chinese

The key thing it mentioned is
"The Chinese national-type school received less than 3% of total fundings for all primary schools"

A large segment of the Chinese population living in Malaysia is predominantly Chinese-speaking, they are commonly known as the "Chinese-educated". Malaysia is also one of two countries outside mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, to have a completely Chinese-medium education system. Canada is the other country, but such schools are usually private schools. There are roughly 1,300 Chinese public primary schools (national-type schools) in Malaysia that are all partially government funded (where the wages of teachers are paid by the government while the up-keeping of school buildings is funded by local communities in forms of donations).

The Chinese national-type school received less than 3% of total fundings for all primary schools. Mandarin is the language of instruction for all subjects except in Malay and English language classes. In the 1960s, all but 16 of the Chinese secondary schools had received government funding and had been converted into National Secondary Schools (Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan)[citation needed], but the term "National-type Secondary Schools" is used internally until today to show that they were once Chinese Schools. They first used English but later on used Bahasa Malaysia as the language of instruction. Today, there are 60 Chinese secondary schools that are supported financially mostly by the public.

These are called Chinese Independent High Schools. Mandarin is the main language of instruction in these private schools except Bahasa Malaysia and English, but some schools use either Malay or English in selected subjects. In 2004, according to statistical data, 90% of all Malaysian Chinese attend Chinese primary schools (The figure was around 70% in 1970). Among the 600,000 Chinese primary school students, roughly 10% are of non-Chinese descent. On the other hand, 90% of Chinese primary school graduates continue their secondary studies in public secondary schools (both national and national-type), while the remaining 10% go to Chinese private secondary schools.[citation needed] There are also three privately owned post-secondary institutes in Malaysia where the language of instruction is Mandarin.

RM2487 per month for Chinese School

The following matter being published at MCA website, MCA is proud to relocate the Chinese School to Skudai to keep the existence of Chinese Primary School…

Johor Menteri mentioned that they have allocated RM2 million for Chinese school every year, from my search of the total Chinese School in Johor, from the MOE website,
http://www.moe.gov.my/emis/emis2/emisportal/mainpage.php?module=CarianSekolah&task=list_sek&nama_sek=SJKC&kod_sek=&limit=30, there are 59 unit of Chinese school and with the 8 private Chinese Institute above, total 67 unit of school have to rely on the RM2million fund every year.


RM2 million means RM29,850 per year and RM2,487 per month, hmm may be RM2,487 is sufficient to pay for the salary of one teacher and may not enough for the principal.Again, as I said, dun “tua tua sia” (big big voice), pai seh lah MCA!



JOHOR BARU: SJK (C) Thai Hong in Kota Tinggi, which has only 17 students, has been relocated to Skudai.

This is to ensure the survival of the school, as it will be closed down due to the lack of students.
The move was one of the MCA’s efforts to establish more Chinese schools in areas with a high density of Chinese.


Incumbent Bekok state assemblyman Tan Kok Hong said that enrolment at the school, which was built in 1954 in Thai Hong estate, was decreasing yearly due to a drop in population.
Tan, who is also Johor MCA acting chairman, thanked the state for approving the project.
He also thanked Gunung Impian Development for paying for the 2.5ha plot and construction costs amounting to RM10mil.


Construction of the school with 24 classrooms will start in August. The first intake is targeted for 2010.

Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said the Barisan Nasional coalition government had made clear its open policy on education.

“We support the study of mother tongues of the various major races in the country, not only in primary and secondary level but also in higher educational.

“I always believe that studying will be easier through our mother tongues,” he said in his speech at a groundbreaking ceremony for the school on Monday.

Abdul Ghani said the state has an allocation of RM2mil yearly for Chinese primary schools and eight private Chinese educational institutions.

He said the state has also reduced the premium rate on the land by 5%.





MCA, you sleeping or no balls to talk in parliment?

Read the following simple statistic and see what is the great contribution of our MCA has done !

Chinese Primary School Enrolment
Year 1957, 1333 school, 310,000 students enrolment
Year 2007, 1288 school, 636,000 students enrolment

In next 10 years, your children not only bringing school bag to school, they will need to bring a chair too... because no place to sit.

No Worry, MCA will think of the way to get fund for your children chair... thanks to MCA .. muahhh i love MCA !

Eh, next time hor, dun tua tua sia (big big voice) say the contribution to Chinese society...

Beggar MCA

On the 3rd December 2006, the Minister of Education, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein announced a budget of RM709 million to build up to 15 new Maktab Rendah Sains Malaysia (MRSMs) and more for upgrades and repairs of existing MRSMs. This announcement actually exceeds the RM90 million announced in the 9th Malaysia Plan (9MP) to build 2 new MRSMs as well as upgrade of existing facilities.

On the 9th December 2006, that is last Saturday, the same Minister of Education announced additional funds of RM2.1 million in the 9MP for the purposes of "upgrading "96 Chinese vernacular schools in the country.

Grateful Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) president, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting goes out of his way to thank the Minister for his consideration and generous allocation.

This was headline news for the local vernacular dailies.
<> SAD CASE ...
MCA .. A BEGGAR who is VERY PROUD FOR what have they done.

And as political analyst Khoo Kay Peng calculated the complicated sums before arriving at the conclusion that the additional allocation meant a magnanimous RM22,000 for each of the Chinese schools, we are left aghast at state of beggar politics in this country.

On the one hand, we have the richly funded MRSM system which caters almost exclusively to the bumiputera community, while on the other, we have the drastically short-changed vernacular school system which caters largely to the minority communities.

Do we have a just and equitable education system in this country?

Short Term Gain, Long Term Loss

Many parties like to offer the freebies to the people during the election, because they have been given special fund to “help” the citizens.

People are greedy and forgetful, when they are given the freebies during the elections, then they thought that particular party work very hard for people. However, they do not realize the impact to our people and society in long term.

They forget that our country will suffer, they forget that our children will suffer …

We need changes, a complete changes, not the freebies only during the election.

SAD case… waiting for the “donation” from government every 5 years.

We work ONLY every 5 years

In my country, the efficiency and the productivity will become hyper-effective once every five years, especially near to the election.

All the road which not being maintained for years will be done in one day
The approval which pending for years will be approved over-night
The budget which cannot be obtained will be approved immediately

All the problems will be solved in miracle, only orang mati tak boleh hidup, apa apa pun boleh !

Having such officers in our government, sad right? Work every five years… I wish that the officers can work as hard as during the election.

Election Poster

Every time before the election, you will notice that the poster of the MCA flying and pasting all over the place in Penang.

The supporter will paster their idol pictures on the wall, bus station, and even road sign, toilet doors and even the rubbish bin doors.

However, sad to say that we seldom see the opposition parties poster being pasted. Why?

Let us guess, opposition parties do not have so much fund and resources like what MCA has. Do you mean opposition supporters are poorer than MCA... hmmm I dont think so, usually a party should have different categories of supporters, from poor to rich.

But why? Do you think opposition parties supporters are lazy? I don't think so. Opposition parties supporters are usually as hard working as MCA and some more they will rush for different session of speeches until mid night.

But again, why?

I guess MCA have more fund than opposition parties. But have we ever think where is the fund come from? I don't know, may be you can do a wild guess loh.

Prime Minister Should Lodge A Corruption Report

Interesting article extracted from http://dapmalaysia.org/newenglish/

Press Statement By Lim Guan Eng In Petaling Jaya On 11.2.2008:

The Prime Minister Should Lodge A Corruption Report Against Those Who Offered Him Money As Failure To Do So Is An Offence Under Section 17 Of The 1997 Anti-Corruption Act
DAP urges Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to lodge a corruption report against those who offered him money as failure to do so is an offence under section 17 of the 1997 Anti-Corruption Act. Abdullah was reported by the New Straits Times on 9.2.2008 whilst attending the Penang Chinese Town Hall’s Chinese New Year open house that,
“I have not benefited one sen from anyone for what I have done. Some people want to give me money but I don’t need it. The government takes good care of its prime minister.”

DAP is shocked that “some people” dares to offer to give money to the top leader of our country. Wanting to give money to the Prime Minister is no different from corruption. Is corruption so endemic that those who subvert integrity are so bold as to attempt to bribe the Prime Minister?

No wonder Malaysia has slipped under the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (CPI) from No. 37 when he took over as Prime Minister in 2003 to No. 43 last year.
DAP is extremely disappointed that Abdullah did not take any action against those who attempted to bribe him. Under Section 17 of the Anti-Corruption Act he has a statutory duty as a public officer to report bribery transactions.

17(1) Any officer of a public body to whom any gratification is given, promised, or offered, in contravention of any provision of this Act shall report such gift, promise or offer together with the name, if known, of the person who gave, promised or offered such gratification to him to the nearest officer of the Agency or police officer.

17(2) Any person who fails to comply with subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or to both.

These are severe penalties for failure to comply with the law in reporting bribery transactions. But many do not bother to do so. By failing to file reports with the ACA, Abdullah is not only failing to uphold the law he is also indirectly encouraging corrupt practices by failing to check the actions and act against the corrupt.

DAP urges the Prime Minister to reaffirm his commitment towards establishing integrity and battling corruption everywhere and anywhere. By complying with Section 17 of the Act, Abdullah would encourage many other public officers who have been offered money to follow suit. Only by taking the lead in reporting such attempts to give him money and arresting the culprits, can we effectively combat corruption from the highest levels.

Best Excuses - You Think You Very Big?

We always say: “Why this country can manage the particular system very well, but not our country” and we always get the same answer, “That country is small mah”. Is this true?

There are plenty big countries in the world which manage the entire transport system, housing system and others so well, which ensure the citizens will enjoy a good, safe and peaceful place to stay. These big country implement sophisticated technology and system for their people. I shall say” YOU THINK YOU VERY BIG AH?”

Ha ha .. and we will get another answer for this: “Other country rich mah” … but they almost forgot that we have plenty of resources, we have 2nd highest building in the world.. poor country can afford meh?

Whatever excuse is it, they will have the standard set of answer.

Low IQ but High EQ - Pirated CD

Quite true, almost everyone know where can they buy the pirated CD. Some shops open beside the Kopi Tiam at the fixed timing, and some occupied almost 2 floors for the entire shopping complex. We know where to buy, and even a primary school student knows where to get the pirated CD-Rom.

However, due to certain reason, the IQ of the relevant authorities are relatively low, they do not know where to catch the pirated CD shop, and the shop are happily doing their business at the same time, same place and same building.

Perhaps I should say they have low IQ but high EQ … they know how to build a good rapport with the pirated CD owner, ha ha.

Hmm, the answer is here: -

A pirated CD shop owner told me, he spent RM28000 per month to feed 7 different authority, so he can continue his pirated CD business at the big shopping complex. Imagine, we are talking only one shop, and there are uncountable pirated CD shop there in that complex.

Chicken Run

Job hoppers hop from a job to another, usually because of 2 things:-

Better opportunity and Better Pay – by hopping from a job to another means getting better opportunity, career prospect and higher salary.

Non-Performer – he/she is not performing in the company, and looking for another place for him/her to perform and be outstanding.

Lately, there is one politician who wish to hop to another place too, and to me, he fulfilled all the above 2 criteria as mentioned. He may be looking for better opportunity and may be better lobang to dig more $, and definitely he is non-performer. I wonder what he has done for past few years in that State, being a puppet so everyone can hang his photo at their office. Just like a chicken to run to another place to look for more wheat and to lay more shit at other place. He some more can propose 3 other candidate to sit at his place, a puppet is trying to propose a paper puppet? Have you seen the shitty chicken lay gold egg?

Worst thing is… he is from my school … what a shame.

Rifle Range Flat Car Park, A 20 Years Empty Promise !

Rifle Range Flats, one of the earliest flat in Penang, Malaysia. It consists of 7 blocks, each block 16-18 floors and each floor with 24 units. A very congested area with plenty of nice food there.

During the development of Rifle Range Flats more than 30 years ago, I believe that the Architects are unable to imagine that the one-room flat owners will own a car. Hence, they “forgot” to plan the carpark space there…. Hmm.. actually there are, there are about 10 car park places per block, but now become invisible being occupied by the hawkers. (I wonder what MPPP is doing? Issuing Hawker license for them to occupy the car park)

There are estimated 2856 house at Rifle Range Flats, if we take in 3 pax per house, then there are about 8568 pax staying at Rifle Range Flats. Assuming 10% of occupants own a car (actual number should be much much greater), then, there are about 856 cars at Rifle Range Flats, and this does not consider the visitor to the flat and hawker center.

Poor car owners have to use their creativity to park their car, occupy the rubbish bin area, occupy the side of the road, and any places which they can find. Our very responsible traffic police will come once in a while to make sure sufficient summons being issued.

Halooo…. Where shall the owner park their cars??? The politicians at that area will use CARPARK as one of the selling point to gain votes from the residents there. I heard of the promise about 20 years ago … although they have won the election for several time, but the promise still become empty promise.

Its ok lah, I tell myself, at least they have the same empty promise to be used for next election… or may be they really work very hard, but their proposal not accepted by the State leh …

Whoever or whichever the authorities are… please open your eyes and look at the situation there, please send some staff to move from their office chair to take a walk at Rifle Range, and please help the Residents at Rifle Range.

Whoever the party who want to win in next election, stop giving empty promises and empty hope, because, I have heard of your promise 20 years ago.

Thanks to Technology

Lately, there are many sex scandals being shown in the media, thanks to the technology of media and internet. Besides youtube, there are many places where the public can post anything they like to post.

The ugly side of the politicians being shown from video clips one by one, perhaps more to come, more exciting and more shocking!

We do not have chance to see this 10 years ago, and we should thanks to the technology to surface the truth for all to see. The ugly side of the person we upmost respected!

May be if the media was so advance 10 years ago, we will not see the bed and mattress being sent to the Court, we will see the life show… YUCK !

Politicians And Newspaper

Many times we notice that our politicians appeared on the newspaper, a typical picture pointing at the hole on the road, highlighting to our authority that it is dangerous for the road users.

This is a good effort taken by them but they forgot that there are hundred, thousands, and perhaps uncountable holes and bad road conditions in the country. I guess there are many more meaningful actions to be taken by them other than busy contacting the reporter that they are going to appear at that particular place.

Their job is not pointing to the hole and complaining to the authority, this should be done by the public, but again ... whether the authority taken any actions .. this is a question marks.

If the politicians are doing their job, there will be no holes for them to point and there are plenty more meaningful matter for them to appear on the newspaper.

Penang Tourism? Broken Link


Penang, such a nice place to visit, nice food, laksa, char kuay teow and many more.

A website can help the visitors to gain more information about Penang.


When a visitor access the http://www.tourismpenang.gov.my/ webpage to find more information about Penang, and click on the calendar of event http://www.tourismpenang.gov.my/section.cfm?id=49 to find the activities which may attract the visitor, what he can see is a broken link which do not have any calendar there. See the picture as attached.


Hey, webmaster, wake up lah.


Rasuah = Jenayah

Rasuah = Jenayah, corruption = crime.
Corruption is very common in one of the country, a very common corruption is to feed the kopi duit to the police. Standard price for speeding is RM50.

There are many cases when I speed in the country and I was being stopped by the police. I am prepared for the summons being issued. However, the police will ask me "hey, do you want to settle?" Then I told the police "Please issue me a summon". The police shocked and tell me "Do you know summons is very expensive?" 'Yes" I said. Then the police told me, is ok, I give you a chance and you can go....

The above cases are real cases, it happened to me many times. Few thing I can guess, there isnt sufficient proof that I was speeding, and they are just setting the road block for the sake of setting the road block. They are preparing for the money given by the drivers, and they feel so shocked when I refused to give them any.

You may think that this is a small matter, but just imagine, a country with corruption means a country with no development. A murderer can be released because of corruption, a drug trader can be released because of corruption. Any laws or rules are unable to be implemented.

An authority does not allow the hawker to sell food at the road side, this may be due to health issue and also this will affect the traffic. However, how many hawkers are actually have the license to trade at the authorised place? Are the relevant departments blind? They did not realise that the traffic at Penang Road, Penang is terrible? being blocked by the hawkers? They do, of course? But they are more happy when they see more hawkers doing business there because they need more money to feed more children, setting a good hifi system at home and buying instalment free sofa from Courts Superstore.

Corruption, all about corruption, many that you know, many that being released in newspaper, many that you are encountered day to day .. but what has the country done? Remember what our new PM said when he take over the seat from Dr.M? But what can he do now?
