		<description>Hi Nisha,

i don&#039;t malaysian government offers teaching position to foreigners (well, if you are malaysian, then its easier.). the qualification you have may not be recognised by the malaysian government. you can checking the relevant websites. refer http://poobalan.com/blog/education-help/websites/

you can give a try in private schools in KL which offer tamil. I think there&#039;s one or two of them, but can&#039;t recall the names. Try googling.</description>

		<description>Hi,

My name is nisha and i am looking forward to get a teaching job in KL. I am 27 years of age, n currently am working as a tamil teacher in singapore in a primary school. I hold a Specialisation Diploma from the National Institute of education Singapore and i also have a BA degree in Psychology with Sociology from SIM, SIngapore Institute Of Management, both venues being Singapore&#039;s top most universities. I had always wanted to work overseas and spread the love for tamil and help my fellow tamil society flourish...Malaysia being closer to home, i wish She can raise platforms for me to work here....Do u think its possible for me to work in Malaysia?</description>

		<description>My daughter is less than 2 years old and she can understand both English and Japanese, and later will introduce Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese.

http://daddyparentingtips.blogspot.com/2009/07/tip-161-reading-in-both-languages.html


I can&#039;t see why we cannot take 1 step forward to integrate the BM textbooks few years back with the current English science and maths text books. Its a lot of effort, but why move backward instead of forward. We can allow students to use either English or BM to answer in the exams as long as the maths and science principles are correct.

Some good will surely come out of the dialectics at work between both languages instead of choosing either one. We need new advancements. We need Malaysia Boleh. Not some power struggle between languages.

When will Malaysia advance and not hold on to race and language as stumbling blocks but embrace our differences as advantages?</description>

		<description>Question...Why does it look like MIC are running the tamil schools and  not MOE? I would think if MIC wanted to have a say, it should be purely as a watchdog... Providing recommendations etc?

Im not sure so im hoping you can give me your insight!</description>
