Which one? (UPSR, PMR, English or Bahasa?)


Initially when I heard about abolishing SRP in the year 1983, I was so happy that I need not have to pay extra attention to my study and I can concentrate on my sporting events.

Surprisingly, till today the questions remain unsettled. Beside this unsettled issues, here come another unsettled issue which has been ding donging all these year.

Is to teach in English or to teach in Bahasa Malaysia. Till when?

Some politician can’t simply solve the problem because there won’t be anything to hang on. A simple mythology and a global paramedic measures need to be anticipated. Our politicians are far away from this, I guess.
 
The need of education which can be explore through out the world. except the theory that make sense and practical to practice. 

Where do we stand to against the current of advancements? Are we suppose to be the bridge to the younger generation to pass on which betterment.

Here the question again,

Abolishing UPSR and PMR is yet to be decided.

Do we need to abolish UPSR and PMR? Who shall be the right person to answer these questions correctly?

Parents?

Ministry?

Ministers?

Politicians?

Or

Those got nothing to do except for commenting?

Before we question, how about answering few doubts that lead to abolishment?

This abolishment of PMR (SRP) and UPSR exams was raised up since 1983 and it was almost 27 years and we are still deciding?

It goes to teaching language too. Either to teach Mathematics and Science subject in English or in Bahasa Malaysia? And surprisingly, the ministry is yet to make any decisions on this matter.

UPSR is definitely need, and the simple reason is to measure when do the student stands before they pass on  to secondary school.

Six years of primary school study should be measured. The need to know where they stand is vital to benchmark their performance in coming years.

The placement of the student either science or Economy studies should be decided from form one. The next five years of study should be sufficient for the student to face SPM before they absorbed into colleges and universities. PMR can be considered but still as a bench mark to measure the students capability. That means, we need it and what wrong by keeping it?

Some of them may use PMR to up lift their performance. Some of them may keep the par of their performance.

So, lets go to another topic. About teach in English or Malay language. Let me tell you I have written about this issues before. 

This issue is pure "Ego" of the nations majority. They never thought about growing. Their ego is so thick. Thicker than a buffalo skin. But they don’t know what they are loosing the advancement. The are limiting their growing to face the world.

So, let s get this topic in hand. It is involving our children. Their future.

So many years and so many politicking. I have children who is studying in university. I do know what stand in front of them. They are just another mirror of me. You too do have to consider to make a change for the better for all.

It will not if we never change and make changes. We can make the changes. We can change by making the changes in the next GE.

So shall we come to a point where we need to stop all these nonsense and craps and move forward for the nation. Lets stop those who are drying the country’s wealth and corrupting the system.

It is lies in you. Decide.
