What is he trying to say is, you can build HSR. But not by borrowing 60B and incurred a 3B interest. If the country can afford it, then it's going to be a game changer.
TFM has evolved into something else since their founder parted. They've no gearing for change and policy when I last interacted with them, but I guess its hard when your views are limited and echoed here. I saja asked the past KSU pasal their activites post termination; kaki lobby contract to supply teachers and secure budget in return je. Adoi...😅
Thanks for bringing in Soon Seng. I think education is the most important thing in any society. Government involvement is a double-edged sword, though. On one hand, education is a government responsibility and a basic human right. On the other hand, it can be politicised and sometimes loses its focus on actually improving our education system.
Can we first ensure that every of our students are able to complete their primary and secondary education without being bullied or enduring physical, verbal or sexual abuse from other students or even teachers themselves?
@@fraeck I wish there is a place to complain about class bullying, & teachers actions against students. I wonder if there is a statute of limitation to reveal all the cruelties exhibited by the the teachers?
education dept. need to asses first student, check whether how many student unable to read alphabet, need to be have extra one or so to learn this at the initial stage
@@rebeccajoseph8678 I heard Soon Seng mentioned 58% of the total cohort. Those will be our future citizens of Malaysia, illiterate in the age of AI - frightening prospect for us all.
A very much relatable discourse, even as a teacher coming from a traditional track into teaching such as myself. I want to congratulate TFM enhancing education quality and equality as well as becoming part of the education ecosystem. Comment on 1:17:06 - Ensuring transparency around school performance to ensure accountability by reporting it to Parliament is a good way to monitor policy implementation but the downside of emulating Ofsted’s way is that they publicly publish the school performance which has caused stress to school administrators. Suicide cases among school administrators have been reported in the UK due to Ofsted’s approach. Hopefully, if this idea were to be implemented in Malaysia, the part where publicly announcing school performance won’t be put in place as publicly announcing school SPM rankings (not endorsed by MOE, but a common practice for JPN and PPD to measure school performance - which in this case is narrow in scope) is already a way to ensure school performance, which at times tends to demoralize teachers and schools. Comment on 1:25:00 - I agree that policy formulation + adoption sometimes do not get translated well into policy implementation. Teachers are basically the active actors (practitioners) that implement those policies and yes we do need some support but the discourse on the ground overwhelmingly reflects that MOE isn't doing enough to support teachers. Perhaps this could also be a teacher mindset problem instead of MOE's lack of effort. Teachers need to look for solutions themselves instead of waiting to be spoonfed. There are a lot of online resources and workshops nowadays that we can use to adopt and adapt to our teaching. We always advocate for teacher autonomy, but at times the autonomy isn't utilized well. Sometimes we need to take capacity building into our own hands.
Every types of workers in Malaysia are suffering. Not only teacher.... Low pay, long working hours. Who is not suffering. Only the walauns are not suffering because that get dedak for free with good fortune. Lazy people get dedak for free. very nice😂😂
To build a "successful", well moral, great ethic and good character future generation involved not only parents at home, but the schools, community that they are living and interacting with ...... and the society at large!! AS the saying goes, it takes the "whole kampung" to raise a good kid!! Nevertheless, the most essential part is the "healthy" family unit. It does not really "an issue" if the family is 'poor" (though that's an advantage) .... because we have seen lots of great human-being .... are raised from poor family ....... and the opposite are true too!! So ..... as the above podcast cited in certain points, kids need lots of caring, love, encouraging, positive values and affirmation for them to grow up as a confident, well manner and great human-being!!
"Never underestimate the value of teachers" is probably one of the most ironic statements globally because the output of teachers is immeasurable in terms of tangibles. The market doesn't put a numerical value on teachers and that is why exam results put so much unjustified pressure on teachers who have a bad hand; furthermore, some experienced teachers tend to mass-market their lessons and mass-produce lessons that are extremely exam-oriented - fair play to them, but the antithesis of teaching IMO. 'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' - Maya Angelou. Until there is a way to measure growth and impact by a teacher, the industry will either remain a "retiree/luxury" job or turn into a gimmicky, short term solution provider that games exam results to the masses. Every little story Seng Soon has shared here is inspiring, though. Keeps me going as a teacher <3
Passion is not the only atribute to be a good teacher. Neither does having a university degree prepare you to be an effective teacher. This is proven by the results of so many students who can't read or write English after many years of education.
The worse reply by a failed politician. Don't you ever think about PLUS highway, KLIA on the multiplier effects the project will bring in the future ? The 60 billions cost is actually for using Japanese technology. We however have alternative solution to reduce the cost by looking at China highspeed train. What a waste giving Singapore 300 millions for nothing. Don't we all feel stupid ?
8:30 no need to sugarcoat lah Kien Meng, you're not making it less bad. It's clearly intentional doing BN like abusive of power. Better she just admit her wrongs and move on.
Side benefits would include many subcontractors who are just rent seekers.. usual corruption of the last 60 years 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. Tony is one of the few most practical , selfless politicians that majority of malayu, especially those from UMNO , Bersatu and PAS hates because he exposes their corruption and incompetence 😛😛😛
Ge16 HY will learn a lesson. Rakyat is fed up of her face and muak like the malay says of all her rubbish being spoken by her about her husbands 1B project direct nego project, and all her other nonsense she has been arrogantly trying to induce based on hypocrisy and arrogance.. As a sports minister she a failure and one of the worst ever in our country.
When you think like a cost conscious accountant no infrastructure can be developed. So I supposed the HSR was a total waste in Indonesia. And they must be so stupid to continue with Phase 2
Another Blah, Blah, Blah talk of "recycled news". These 2 STOOGES have no critical reviews nor any analytical facts to criticise or offer an alternative. SO BORING LAH.......Does the man in the Street in whole of MY interested with the politicking by Sarawak and all the Abang Joes' Not really!!!!. Why do we need GLCs and Politikus dealing with 5G. Flog the 5G license to the Private Sector and let them PAY the Billions to the MY Treasury. That is how the Western Governments had done. 5G is UK costs RM30 per month (with 4 - 5G Operators) with 20Gb Data and unlimited calls. Rip Offs by bullying Telcos and internet speed lies.
As KM also mentioned, Germans now realized the mistake of open door welcome refuges. If based on KM said we should all open arms welcome, then why the same other group (you know which referring to) reject Rohingya refuges despite they are also Muslim? Coz they "low class"? Don't they also faced genocide? So if now accept refuges into our society, give them job, give them education, then why is Msia Govt still not giving those Sabah 80's/90s IC identify? This is exactly what many said, own people problem also don't want to take care, then wanna go grant outsider benefits. It is not many against refuges, it is own internal got so much things yet to focus on and yet being turn blind. Today 100, if on noise, can you guarantee it won't be thousands?
Need to get this right. Singapore Govt DID NOT reject local Sporean scholarship. It is based on results merits. So long you meet, you apply, chances you get it. Whereas Msia Govt, even meet the result requirements, high chance doesn't get (based on quota). Now THAT'S the different. If wanna do political based podcast, then be real and truthful. Most of us here know what is the main reason why.
He thought that he is powerful after his son in law run away taking the blame and he has no one else to blame for his failure so he blame the royal institution
ATTENTIO YB ANTHONY LOKE , please don't denied the rakyats a. GOOD PARLIAMENTARIAN IN YB ONG KIAN MENG . DAP cannot ignore this qualified n quality MP for the people.
The opposition is seen as weak and a failed opposition.They had no brilliant issue to counter the Madani government.Their issues is base only on racist and religious issue.
We cant save the world. Even their neighbours wont or not eager to help. Why should Malaysia be wasting its own resources? The gov should help Malaysians first. If some clown wants to save the world, let them do it at their own expense, not at taxpayers money especially when only 17% of a population of 32 million is paying taxes.
HSR only cater for city people. Government need to improve infrastructure in rural area. Sabah and Sarawak people will be jealous as their transportation infrastructure in poor condition.
Being a Sarawakian I am proud of our current leader (YAB Premier) who has the vision for Sarawak. He is the prime mover of Sarawak development. When Sarawak politically united and no racial/religious tension like in Semanjung our leader can focus on human capital development as well. No other state in Malaysia has Post-Covid Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030.
Tony good in talking Crap. Typical Chinaman thinking …. Don’t even take care of his constituency Damansara during his tenure as an MP so many complaints
