My..my..my, when MCA talked about being vocal for the benefit of all Malaysians, no one would have expected them to use the the platform offered by PM – motion of thanks to the King for his royal address to drive in their point. First time in history, MCA were given the honor to thank the King. And what an earful it was!!! » Read more: MCA boss causes uproar in parliment by talking about conversion

If the people in power are really concerned about the plight of schools, and can’t do much due to laws and regulations, why not change it? If you can’t help schools located in private lands, then change the rules. If many trivial things can be changed – like extending age of retirement for certain people, how difficult is it to change funds can be channelled for partially-aided schools? » Read more: MP Teluk Intan Manogaran on Tamil schools

TAFE students get Aussie training chance

Previously, there is an issue of whether TAFE programs are LAN (MQA) accredited. Its website at www.tafeseremban.edu.my states that its diploma programmes are LAN accredited.

But frankly speaking, this move by Samy is excellent. More Indians are looking beyond Malaysia due to the rampant discrimination in the education and employment sectors. Thus, by offering a job offer (training/attachment) overseas, it hugely increases the chance for global employment and relocation to another country. Maybe, just maybe, Samy realises that no point begging the government any more? Might as well do something useful and try gain some forgiveness from the community.

My knowledge in TAFE is purely based on what others mentioned, and none of it sounds good. Only negative news. Please comment if you have any good things to say. » Read more: TAFE students get Aussie training chance

Samy and the medical degree drama

I didn’t bother much about this news until the names of Samy Vellu, MIED, and Chitrakala appeared. Looks like Indian community issue since 70% of the affected people are Indians.

I have to wonder, if these graduates are from WHO’s recognised programmes, why don’t they find a job anywhere but Malaysia? The country doesn’t want your services (yet?), so why not work elsewhere first? Perhaps the country where they obtained their degrees will be the best option. So, the decision by some of them to sit for overseas qualifying exams sounds like a better move. » Read more: Samy and the medical degree drama
