The Parliament of 1Malaysia... ...is the special building inside which a handful select people congregate after being elected for their brains ...is where you can find a handful of people who have lost large chunks of their brains outside the building ...is where a handful select people congregate to create laws and rules for the entire country ...is where you can find a handful of people who break and flout some laws and rules of the country ...is where a handful select people stand up to speak out as loud intelligent voices of the masses ...is where you can find a handful of people who jump up and down and speak with loud voices, saying not-so-intelligent things ("tidak berapa pandai"), and creating embarassing mess ...is where a handful of select brainy people identify leaks in all aspects of life for the nation and its people, and prescribe solutions how to effectively plug these leaks ...is where you can find recurring bocor (leaks) in the ceilings ...is where a handful select brainy people decide on effective measures to keep down all costs and expenses to be incurred by the nation especially during a bad or uncertain time (like NOW, duh!) ...is where a handful of people decide that in order to drop costs of repair to the recurring problems of bocor, a totally new building will have to be constructed for them to shift to ...is a special vintage building with very high sentimental value, aesthetic value, historical value, and functional value ...is going to be an overvalued overindulgent brand new building costing up to 800 million ringgit or more! Note: Whomever excel in PPSMI (learning of Sciences and Mathematics using the English Language) please step forward and provide simple arithmetic justification on why building a new parliament house costing 800++ million ringgit right now IS the best solution? Further Note: As at the time of this publication, the chief of parliament had, indirectly through one of his several 'loyal' brown-nose-sergeant-cum-kambing-hitam(scapegoat)-messenger, issued a statement to clear the air on the 'proposal' to build a new parliament: "It is not muktamad (finalized) yet."

MARI BELAJAR DAN MEMAHAMI: (LET'S LEARN AND UNDERSTAND:)

MARI BELAJAR DAN MEMAHAMI:

Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris, PPSMI

(LET'S LEARN AND UNDERSTAND:

Teaching and Learning of Sciences and Mathematics in English, PPSMI)

1Malaysia, 1Malaysia... PPSMI is about the learning of SCIENCES and MATHEMATICS using the English Language in primary as well as secondary schools... the objective of PPSMI is so that children will graduate from schools with a high COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE; henceforth CAN COMPETE GLOBALLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CAREER... PPSMI is thought of, brainstormed, sowed, planted, executed, cared for, and defended by 1Malaysia's POLITICAL LEADERS... if one learns SCIENCES, then SCIENTIFIC names and terms will be learned... if one learns MATHEMATICS, then MATHEMATICAL terms will be learned... therefore, the schoolkids may learn of SCIENTIFIC and MATHEMATICAL names and terms which are taught in ENGLISH (and no longer recognize those same terms in Bahasa Malaysia)... for example, they may know words like test tube (no longer 'tabung uji'), ultra violet (no longer 'lampau ungu'), density (no longer 'ketumpatan'), dan differentiation (no longer 'pengkerbedaan')... furthermore, they may also know names and terms like biology (no longer 'biologi'), physics (no longer 'fizik'), mathematics (no longer 'matematik'), photosynthesis (no longer 'fotosintesis'), hydrocloric acid (no longer 'asid hidroklorik'), trajectory (no longer 'trajektori'), calculus(no longer 'kalkulus'), negative (no longer 'negatif'), graph (no longer 'graf'), statistics (no longer 'statistik'), and hundreds maybe thousands more SCIENTIFIC and MATHEMATICAL names and terms in ENGLISH which they may learn, know and understand; hence, they achieve a high level of COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE; thereby, ABLE TO COMPETE GLOBALLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CAREER!!! oh, but what if some of these kids (or more than half of them) get out from their schooling years and decide to choose a career OUTSIDE OF THE SCIENCES LINE (and mathematics line as well, since generally mathematics is closely affiliated with sciences) - for examples, jobs as politicians, singers or artists (when we talk about politicians, quite often we link them to artists too), painters, writers, journalists, and lawyers??? 1Malaysia, 1Malaysia... PPSMI adalah pembelajaran SAINS dan MATEMATIK menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris di sekolah2 rendah mahupun menengah... tujuan PPSMI ialah supaya murid2 mengakhiri persekolahan dengan PENGUASAAN BAHASA INGGERIS yang tinggi lalu dapat BERSAING SECARA GLOBAL DALAM KERJAYA MASING2... PPSMI dicetus, difikirmasak, dibenih, ditanam, dilaksana, dijaga dan dipertahan oleh PEMIMPIN2 POLITIK 1Malaysia... kalau belajar SAINS, maka nama2 dan perkataan SAINTIFIK bakal dipelajari... kalau belajar MATEMATIK, perkataan2 MATEMATIK dipelajari... maka murid2 tersebut mungkin kenal nama2 dan perkataan SAINTIFIK dan MATEMATIK yang diajar dalam Bahasa Inggeris (bukan lagi mengenali perkataan2 sama dalam Bahasa Malaysia)... contohnya, mereka mungkin kenal perkataan2 seperti test tube (bukan lagi 'tabung uji'), ultra violet (bukan lagi 'lampau ungu'), density (bukan lagi 'ketumpatan'), dan differentiation (bukan lagi 'pengkerbedaan')... tambahan lagi, mereka juga mungkin mengenali nama2 dan perkataan seperti biology (bukan lagi 'biologi'), physics (bukan lagi 'fizik'), mathematics (bukan lagi 'matematik'), photosynthesis (bukan lagi 'fotosintesis'), hydrocloric acid (bukan lagi 'asid hidroklorik'), trajectory (bukan lagi 'trajektori'), calculus(bukan lagi 'kalkulus'), negative (bukan lagi 'negatif'), graph (bukan lagi 'graf'), statistics (bukan lagi 'statistik'), dan ratusan mungkin ribuan lagi pelbagai nama dan perkataan SAINTIFIK dan MATEMATIK dalam Bahasa Inggeris yang mungkin mereka pelajari, kenali dan fahami, lantaran mereka mencapai tahap PENGUASAAN BAHASA INGGERIS yang tinggi lalu dapat BERSAING SECARA GLOBAL DALAM KERJAYA MASING2!!! oh, tapi bagaimana kalau sebahagian daripada murid2 tersebut (atau lebih dari setengah dari kalangan mereka) keluar dari alam persekolahan lalu memilih KERJAYA DI LUAR BIDANG SAINS (dan bidang matematik juga, kerana amnya matematik berkait rapat dengan bidang sains) - contohnya kerjaya sebagai politikus, penyanyi atau artis (bila menyebut tentang ahli politik, kerap juga kita kaitkan dengan golongan artis), pelukis, penulis, wartawan dan peguam???
