Thank you for highlighting the River of Life project and its shortcomings. One problem, which you might have realised had you taken the advice issued to MPs, is safety of users. I use and I have had motorcycle riding youngsters behaving threateningly towards pedestrians. Nevertheless the project has made important progress and a future phase could learn from experiences todate. Better policing, drink dispensers (preferably water coolers) and simple exercise islands would be a good way to start. VI Reminder: this is primarily for Malaysian residents and only incidentally for our guests, the tourists.
That's the thing about 'correcting our own', we had no idea what is 'incorrect' until it is too late. So just another reason why we had others to do it for us.
Great point on matriculation. The bottleneck is at public universities vacancies. The opportunity cost for non Bumi is enormous. If you can’t get a course in public Uni later, you are done. Matriculation is not recognised overseas. You are better off doing STPM and open all doors, globally.
On the 10As non bumi acceptance into Matriculation, the question that disturbs me most is the fact that a high number of bumis without 10As are in matriculation.This is a fact as teachers/students at the Matric Centres over the years will attest to and confirm the long standing discrimination meted out to non bumi Malaysians.There is so much hype about allowing non bumps in whereas all along the bumis were never subjected to this requirement and no politician across the aisle is prepared to speak the truth and put the devil to shame.For Malaysia to progress sacrifices must be made now especially when it comes to education because education will be the main factor deciding the future of the country as the changing external economic environment demands a very skilled labour force as highlighted by IMF and UN.Sidestepping and not wanting to discuss these issues in the name of sensitivities because of race will only erode public confidence in the MOE and the ruling government and down the road withing the next 20years Malaysia will be solidly a " A fully matured 3rd World Country".
Sg Bakap is a Malay area under pas before...so what you expect??? Maybe it was mean to loose?? Dont simply whack Rafizi. KJ as we see it has never with Rafizi. We are aware.. Diesel subsidy has never got favour with ummo ultras. As a Chinese I never like KJ carrying the kriss whereas Rafizi never did. So I know OKM is inclined towards KJ. So your podcast is biased
KJ is a show horse. Hardly do any hard work in his life. Just because he thinks he graduate from Oxford, therefore he thinks he deserve to become UMNO president. He is a delusional, arrogant and blinded follower of mahathir's malay nationalism.
OKM is only concern about being a nice guy, which doesn't work if a hard decision need to be made. He better join MCA as MCA is more focused on doing charity instead of making changes for the betterment of the country.
@@Rakyat-s4w His choice where he wants to be. People will choose correctly if he portrayed himself well but will drop him if they discover something else.
@@wannajlin at this rate, people can easily know "expert" = PH people who wanna tell shiok sendiri statement / attack the opposition side. Lost my trust and respect to these "expert"s lol
Thought this podcast could offer something different, but now you guys are becoming like KS (English version). I decided to stop after 10 minutes of this episode. You've commented enough about Rafizi on KS. This time I think it was a bit overdone.
After matriculation what next ? Pmx did not promise degree program placement for non bumi based on merit Also the choice of career is important . Not all courses fit all
Why judged and picked on what Rafizi said during the Sg Bakap by election campaign? To be fair the Kedah MB speeches were as abrassive if not more then what Rafizi said! Why can compromise on what the MB said but pick on Rafizi? The Speaker decision on the 6 palimentaries seats is looking at a broader pictures Malaysia do not need another six by elections, we all know the majority is with who regardless with or without the 6 by elections. Why need another 6 by elections that going to stir up more politician rhetoric that divide Malaysian. The country is divisive enough with politician from both side stir up 3R issues particularly during election campaign, enough is enough time to come together to heal the country economy! You claim you are a policy think tank you know what the current state of the country is the least we need is another election that going to divide the country. Time to stop politicking and let the current government focus to heal and making Malaysia economy back on track. Elections will derail the focus, resources and money. We do not need another elections that going to divide the country. Let the rakyat decide during the next GE on these 6MPs. And stop being influence by the two sofa guy from the other podcast, you should stick with policy topic as what you intended with this podcast.
That's right. MB Kedah spouted vulgar words and calling people names and won the election and they never spend even a minute discussing how it happened.
While PH was in the opposition they believe BN should give development fund to the opposition. The fund doesnt belong to the government but the people. But when PH is the government they are doing exactly what BN did which led to the defection of PN MP. Who is to blame now?
What we learnt from all these PAC report is that the smart malays will never risk their money to setup real genuine business because is easier to milk it out of GLCs. There goes malay nationalism which khairy Jamaluddin champions.
The Edge published the list of companies that HRD corp invested in and as a seasoned bursa investor myself, the portfolio looks like beginner retail investor, those that like to chase certain penny and pump and dump stocks, you'd expect as a GLIC that they would be more careful and cautious in their stock picks but seems like they got their stock ideas from some pump and dump forum
This series is starting to feel disgusting, as you two are more focused on promoting yourself as having the perfect solution to everything, without having to face the real situation, it is very easy to sit there and comment, just like KJ. I can understand why Rafizi behave in such a way, because he is tired of all the nonsense and just want to get things done. If he follows your suggestions, things will not be done. My respect for Rafizi increased after this because he is willing to receive all the hit for his boss, where as you two are just concern about how the public view yourself.
I noticed that too, somehow I felt that the solutions they've suggested to every problem mentioned are just too naive, might only works in primary school.
You heard the Chinese saying, "Vote for party, not personality (person)" especially among DAP leaders to voters? I think LGE publicly said "Vote for party, not personality (person)" before one the GEs in the past. So, in Sungai Bakap, I think the people voted for party. Wait a minute, maybe not. They voted for person because he was ISO-certified. haha Mas Ermieyati, in one recent podcast, said PAS sangat hebat perkasa parti. There's a recent podcast entitled 'Bridget Welsh: “Very Possible” That PAS Could Govern Malaysia One Day'...so, get ready to go green.
Won't it be interesting for a study to be made on the real achievements of all those who were credited with 10 As after their graduation and had worked , say for 5 to 10 years. As the number of 10-As students seem to be poorly reflected in our performance in PISA where less than 5% of Malaysian students were able to achieve the upper 2 sections ( which is divided into 6 sections)
Both HRD Corp and IMDB are governed by a board of directors. The directors are jointly and possibly individually responsible for all businesses undertaken by the entity. I have always been puzzled by the almost universal (even seemingly the courts') focus on Najib Razak as guilty for comapny's losses to the exclusion of the board and even the CEOs. Now you puzzle me by talking of the HRD Corp in relation to the Ministers during the relevant periods. As intelligent, educated and sophisticated adults you might want to explain in a future episode why Ministers are accused and not those directly involved. Go ahead Kian Ming, enlighten me.
Emeritus Prof Datuk Shad Saleem Faruqi: "(It) appears that Bersatu's action in revoking the membership of the six Bersatu members is actually an expulsion, a constructive dismissal, not simply a case of ceasing to be a member."
OKM spent a good 7 minutes criticizing Rafizi just because he sounds arrogant without addressing what is right and what is wrong in his recent reply in parliament about Budi and Padu and his conversation with Salim Iskandar really reeks personal hatred.
Agreed, I think OKM and Mr Money is the one who is doing the 'read not heard' thing, (not up to the point of hatred though).. Fair enough if you want to criticize the way he talks, or about him mentioning that OKM and KJ wouldn't win at Sungai Bakap.. but why stop there and keep on harping on the point? What about the comment by Rafizi about voter turnout? About the fact that the support (percentage wise) haven't change? About the fact that malay's political divisiveness being a more dangerous trend going forward? Both of them is behaving like the fool in "When a wise man points to the moon, the imbecile examines the finger - Confucius".
@@YusufMDean Rafizi mentioned that unless you do a survey that their voting choice is due to his arrogance or due to diesel, all are only coffee shop talk without data.
@@YusufMDean Rafizi's response is that if there is no survey done on the lost of Sg Bakap is due to his arrogance or diesel etc, it's all coffee shop talk without basis.
I do agree that Rafizi needs to humble himself a bit, knowing his style and his inability to tolerate stupidity or nonsense. Making him look arrogant. If he wants to become PM one day, he definitely needs to fix this. But it's worth pointing out that OKM, KJ, and Shahril spent most of the episode criticising him. You guys took him down based on vibes, not facts. You need to chill and humble yourselves too.
Admission to public universities should be based on meritocracy and not race-based. We have achieved independence for 60 years and yet, we are still practicing affirmative actions. For the country to progress (and further regress), we have to start to reform the education.
If solely based on meritocracy, people from rural areas will not have a chance to receive higher level education. They face more hardship to receive proper education compared to urban area.
