It’s heartening to know that the Prof has great plans. He have already started a blog, even tough it is still in its infancy. As the article below mentions, being an Indian in a very high position, the community expects him to help out. Everything that happens in MIC/temples/schools/education etc., the dailies and the community will be waiting with interest for his comments.

 Unlike Mydin who called bloggers housewives etc., the new guy on the block is wise enough to start things on a fresh footing:

Q: The new media has exploded. Are you going to engage the bloggers at all?

A: Well, I wish I could see them. But I don’t know how many there are. Bloggers can be local and global. They can be everywhere and they emerge every day. They are important. In this explosion of information technology, everywhere is the centre of information. And people are free to express what they think. There is the good and bad about that. I wish we can sit down and talk to them and think openly what’s best for the country. That’s the bottom line.

RM86 million / 8000 students = RM10750/student. 1984 until 2007 is 24 years. Rm86 million/24 years = RM3.583 million per year. Anyway, averages may not be painting the true picture, since if a medicine course costs 300K and a 1-year certificate course costs 5K, the higher-costing course will skew the results. » Read more: MIED loan repayment only 34 percent
