Education System(ES) - OLD & NEW ??

Hai my beloved readers and anybody who bump to this blog accidentally. Already 2 month not update this blog. Busy updating and setting up my another site.... townguyz.com. As usual, what the title and this article about ? A random tough while traveling in car bring me to write this article. This article is not to bash over Malaysian Education System AGAIN, worldwide point of view. We only going to see the purpose, output and difference between OLD modern education system(OMES) system and NEW modern education system(NMES). What do i mean by modern education system. Simple, people who go to school, university and training institute to gain official certificate or professional title. In this article i assume OMES is a education system before 1950s and NMES after 1950s.

Purpose of OMES:
Children thous days not compulsory to attend official schools. But very few go through OMES and reach the highest point by reaching Universities. One of the earliest, famous and well known Universities situated in Europe and US, and very few in other continents. Students study in universities because of thier own pure interest, eager, and passion towrads knowledge.

Pupose of NMES:
In many counties there is a law to compolsery childredn to attend school untill certain age or level. Higher education become a necesary to survice , to ensure good life in easy way. Offical certificates become employement requirements. Hence MOST people go through NMES , because they have to.

Output of OMES:
Purpose of OMES which we go thorough above, encourages many research, studies, and experiment conducted my self passionte students. As a result human kind discover many scietific and technological knowledge during the era of OMES. Most of the famous scientis who are famous untill today are the production of OMES..... simple example Albert Einstien.

Output of NMES:
Many findings already made by OMES, hence NMES students reach universities to study and enhance knowledge of OMES. Even the rocket science is generated from the findings of OMES. NMES studies give OMES aerospace and physics knowledge a practical form in the name of NASA and Space Shuttle. In simple words.... very few findings but lots of enhancement during NMES.

Problems during OMES:
Some of the main probles during that point time:
1) very low awareness towards importance of education
2) very limited facilites, family support.
3) not such low to must the formal education
4) limited or not infomation vailable to reffer to
5) Word War 1 & 2, civil war, territory expansion by superpowers.

Problems of NMES:
1) MANY go thorugh higher education becase it already become a neccessary for easy life. No education, no good work, no money.
2) Too many distraction, Internet, Television, Handphone, Extended Social Life, etc.
3) No extra time to to extra researh....... After graduation people rush for work, like a meachine, no time for extra research and produce new findings.....

Benefit of OMES:
People who reach the higest level of OMES will dedicate thier self for their specialisation. Spend more time do reseach, we sometimes call them mad profs if englsih movies. NO distraction of social need like, need go to work with fix time, need to fullfill other social need like buy good house, fast car, pay handphone bills , electric bills, have delicious food and leave a life which ruspected by the social like friends, and family.

Benefit of NMES:
Extensive information available with click of a button. Big funds available for ONLY the best research which have commercial values.

Conclusion, OMES and NMES , both have pros and cons. But in my point of view NMES not performing to the REAL purpose of education as good as OMES. Do you think the situation described in "Problems of NMES" can produce beneficial research and knowledge for mankind??

Note : My English sucks, sorry. But not my facts and thinking, i guess....

Indirect Racial Remarks : Still

Racial Remarks : i don't know how to explain it properly. A act of words to symbolist a race in some way, most of the time symbolist a race in bad way.

I am from Malaysia. A multicultural country, occupied by few different races. Malays are majority, and other faces like Chinese( 35% of population ) and Indians are minority. In this kind of environment, racial remarks are common. Some remarks known for joke and some others really hurts.

As a young Malaysian Indian, i been heart many racial remarks as i stated above. I also used some for fun, just to make jokes which does not hurt other race friends. Other race of friends sometimes use curtain terms, sentence or slangs. They thing, by doing that they actually manage to mingle-up with other race Malaysians. Sometimes yes, it accepted as a joke and create some friendship. BUT most of the time it hurts, really hurt your heard in silent.

Lately, using racial remark issue reduce dramatically among Malaysians. Yet indirectly or without they even realize Malaysian still hold or using it. If you a Malaysian, you only can notice it if you sensitive ENOUGH. Nowadays many indians does not look and sound like typical Indians. That is very good. I look like typical Indian due to my skin color. But im a true Malaysian for sure, that cannot be reflected physically rite. So this make people make some racial remark, or they just don't realize, or can be said they triggered to to use some words which irritate me as a INDIAN in origin.

Some of the experience i been encounter :

1) Few years back, when i enter degree level one. Im the only Malaysian Indian in class. All others are other race Malaysians plus foreigners. When we talk, one of the guy in the class, try to be funny by answering me while shaking his head and in Indian slang of english. I feel really irritated.
I straight ask him why he act such way, and he answered:" Indians like to shack their head while talk what". I answer back : " i talk just now, am i shaken my head ? the indian lecturer teach you standing infront there, is she shaking her head?". And than, time past by we talk normally.

Acts which bring to racial remark:
Indian are known for shake their head more compare to other race when talk, those days.

2) I on the way to interview. And im almost there, just not sure which building. I stop and ask a guy, i think he work in office near by. I ask : "Abang building ini kat mane?"/"Where is this building ?". And that guys answer : "Itu sana, ada pahamka tamy?"/"thats the building, did you understand tamby?". I asked him in proper Malay, why in earth that another race Malaysian answer in the Malay which Indians tend to use 50 years back. Is it a indirect racial remark ?

Acts which bring to racial remark:
First generation of Indians which came to Malaysia as migrants have poor communication skill in Malay language.

3) I and my friend(girl) is in fast food shop. In front of me, a Malaysian Chinese guy with girl beside him, place a order, after few second he change the order. And the cashier in the counter with smiling face change the order. My turn, i place the order, within few second i ask the cashier to change order. While changing the meal, while not facing me she said "Mengade gadela". Now how should i conclude this ? Am i too sensitive or im just be a victim of indirect racial remark?

Acts which bring to racial remark:
Some young indian guys like to rise the voice and create irrelevant situation when with group of friends.

4) A music shop newly open in shopping complex which i always go. I enter the shop, want ask for availability of any music class. I am the only customer at the shop at that moment. The shop worker does not ask me how should she can help me, or even say any wishes like "hai" or "welcome". And straight to the counter, and the person there just look at me. Than i ask about the class, and the person just answer what i asking. She did not treat me as potential customer. I on the way out of the shop. And saw other race Malaysian enter the same shop. Now the shop worker wish that person and the person at the counter, stand up. And walk and entertain the person even he just enter the shop to take a look at the new shop. Again, am i too sensitive ? Or my personality too bad? Or am i just be victim of indirect racial remark ?

Acts which bring to racial remark:
Basically buying power of Malaysian Indians are not that good compare to other races. FACT.

There are many other personal experiences, but this few enough to make as example and provide better understanding of what i trying to explain in this post/article.

Racial remark , still ??

Children Living Parent's Dream

New template , new look , new atmosphere , i myself feel gigi to use by blog , need to play around to get use to it . This sudden change is to obey by readers request to change by blog's old template , here you go , a new template(blog's theme) as you all want .

Story time , Children Living Parent's Dream.... This particular topic hits my mind after i saw today's news , hundreds of students get straight 5As and 7As in their UPSR exam . Wow , congrats to you all .

Parents nowadays really taking care of their children , event before a child born , they already have a dream about the future of the unborn baby . Since the first day the baby born , everything done by the parents to make sure bright future of their children . Their child grow and become a adult . At that point of time , if we turn back and look at the life of the child , we can notice that , the child , all this time until he grow up be a adult , he/she has been leave the dream of their parents .

The child go to the primary school the parents choose . When finishing their primary school, the child fulfill parent's first dream , getting excellent UPSR result . In a such young age , the kind overcome all the pressure and do it for their parent . Children's exam result is of the pride collection of parents nowadays .Than the children enter secondary school . Here the children becoming a teenager . Here , the parents moll their child according to their dream , from the people they talking to until the way they dress up . When the option of Science or Arts stream come in to picture after form 3 , the parents push the children according to their(parents) dream , most of the time . Here comes the result of SPM at the end of secondary school life . This also the time the dream of the parents come true again , by the time the result come out , the parents already chose the higher education path of their child , according to their(parents) dream . Most of the time , the children also follow the path choose by their parents . Parents go back home happily , and the son/daughter go to the university or collage ,choice of their parents , carrying the dream of the parents . After few years , the children fulfill major part of their parents dream by graduated as a Lawyer , Engineer , Doctor , IT professional , and etc .

Now the teenager enter another part of their life as young man/woman . But their parents dream not finished yet . The parent's dream even include , how their children's live partner should look like . Hence , the young man/woman will married with live partner choose by their parents according to their dream . If the young man/woman have their own choice of live partner , they have to make sure all the criteria meets their parents expectation , include cast(Indians).

Now you all can see , how a child living their parents dream ? Actually most of the youngster not bad as the parents always describe . The children(youngsters) willing to live the dreams of their parents , for the happiness of their parents . At the same time , im also not saying that , parents doing something bad . Actually parents working hard for the well being of their children . What i trying to emphasis is, just give a small space to your child, so THEY CAN LIVE THEIR OWN DREAM .

Note:This post follows Malaysian education system , UPSR PMR SPM, lol . For most of you , this post wont make any sense , but few who out there who realy can feel or experienced what i try to explain , this post i specialy dedicate to you all .

Assignment oh Assignment

My house's TM streamxy down for repair when i need it most . The TM technician himself don't know whats wrong with my internet connection which cause the very slow connection . I ponteng one day of my collage , with reason this time, lol , last Tuesday , so the TM technician can come to my house to repair the problem in the office hours as he want . After try to fix more than one hour , he look at me , i look at him , and he say : " Sayapun tak tau ape problem dengan you punye connection , semua nampak ookkey je , i balik office check and call you" .

Ya , the internet down when i need it most . I need my internet and google to finish my assignment , know why ? You all have been heard this before: "COPY,PASTE,EDIT,REFERENCE" technique which widely used to do assignment before ? . I also use it once in a while . IF you do business subjects , than this the fastest technique which can be used to finish the assignment . Pity , i only got one business subject . Other 4 subjects are IT related , don't even try to use the above technique in it , lol . The 4 subjects are , C++ , Database and web database , creativity and innovation(WTF) , and system analysis and design . Each of this subject have sad story behind it . Due to time constraint , let me choose the best nominee for the "SAD STORY BEHIND A IT SUBJECT" .

Winner of "SAD STORY BEHIND A IT SUBJECT" , is Database and web database . Early of the semester , the lecturer inform to the class that , she wont tech SQL , wtf , SQL is the main thing need to be teach by the lecturer in this subject . She provide a website address which contains all the video needed to complete the assignment , we have to learn it by our self . I like to mix with new people , so when the grouping take place to do this assignment , even thou my friends invite me to join their group, i like M1, refuse and join . At last my lecturer dump me into a group which the member who i never been be friend before , hoooray , i achieve my objective . Here comes the biggest threat(APPE KANNEKE TERIYATE MAMME) . There are 4 members in the team include myself. 2 are arab guys , 1 indian muslim girl , and me pachei Indian ,lol . Early of the semenser all of them looks very professional , and do some work . After few weeks i find out they all not PRO as they sounds and looks. Just yesterday , the Indian muslim girl inform be that, she wanted to drop this subject and that two arab guys only will showup for few classes , i also like them , but not bad as them , lol . Now the morale of the story is , i have to this subject's assignment BY MY OWN SELF , and i still asking WTF is SQL server , best part , the submitting date is in another 12 days . Not only that , im still screeching my head for do my other subjects , and the due date is next week .

I Also Wanna Be A Leader : Another Crab Story

Hai everybody , after very of my first crab story , today im posting my second crab story . Most of you who did not read the first crab story wondering what the the crabs got to do with my article . Eventhough the crabs got nothing to do with my article , but i like to represent Indians as crabs . You asking why? Than for sure you don't know our famous "Indian crab story" among Indians.

I got idea to write this crab story based on my previous experience as president of Tamil and culture society (secondary school) and incident in Tamil and culture society few days back in my collage .

We Indians , most of us , naturally have this strong desire for :
1) Fame(influence)
2) Post(english), Patevi(Tamil) , Jawatan(malay)

This crab story base on this key words indirectly . Okay , let me start with my crab story.

In School days , especially in secondary school , most of us been active in this Tamil & culture society . Early of the year there will be a big meeting in a classroom for choose(elect) the board members of the society : president , vice-president , secretary , AJK and etc . The Tamil & culture society will function actively for few months and than start to fate off like volcano,lol . How active is the society is different story , i come back to my story again. The elected board members will plan and organize activities every week . The time past by , after few months ... ceng ceng ceeeng ... , we can notice the presence of unfamiliar faces(group of students) attend the weekly meeting/activity and start to bring up some issues . They usually claim that , the current board members not active enough and power division is unbalance , and bla bla bla . End of the day , they will ask for a re-election to choose new board members . Everything done very strategically by the new group of the student . More and more new students start to flow into the meeting by the time the re-election get to started . This new students are the friends of the people who created the problem . Now with more votes from people who created the problem , now the society fall into their hand . END OF STORY , chop chop , not yet , this just the beginning . The process will happen again and again through the year , and when we revise the book of activity at the end of the year , only the unfilled empty space will we visible , because thorough the year , the Indian students busy arguing of who to be the board members until cannot run any REAL tamil & culture society.........SMALL CRABS



We in the second stage of the story . We take a look at whats the teenage crabs doing in Universities and Collages . Again at the beginning of the year , active Indian University and collage students will vote and choose board of members for the Tamil & Culture society . This time the lecturers present as the adviser of the society. The society run smoothly until a group of students comes up and create problem to take over the society just for the sake of fame and influence among Indian students in the campus. The new group manage take over the society or not based on the situation and rule of the society. And the situation will look something like in the picture shown above....... MEDIUM CRABS



Next stage of the story based on TAKE 3 and TAKE 4 . We look at the big daddies . What they doing in the Indian Politic Parties . Thous days , leaders and members of Indian Politic Parties fight for the rights of Indians in the country . But nowadays , leaders and members from the same party fight among their self to capture the top post of the party . They assume , if they leader of this Indian Politic Party , there are automatically become the Indian's Leader overall . True , in pre-independence era , but not anymore . We assume , I.C.C is the only Indian Politic which exist to protect Indian's rites in this country , but the leaders in the I.C.C busy playing politics among their self to become president of the party . Time past by , but the president of the I.C.C sit strong in his position. The high and middle level leaders not given opportunity to take over the presidency of the I.C.C by the current president . The high level leaders of I.C.C doesn't want to wait anymore . With quite number of loyal supporters the vice-president and secretary of I.C.C form different party and become president of the newly formed Indian Parties which know as U.I.C.C and J.I.C . Before this , the I.C.C which is the only Indian party represent the Indian community now divided into three parts , same goes for its influence and power . If more and more , leaders hunger for fame and power , currently three Indian Politic Parties may divided into more smaller pieces ....soon ........ BIG OLD CRABS

I took 6 hours to write this article and create all this images , each piece in this article is the result of my 6 hours hard work . Don't mistaken me , i just appreciating my self ,lol.

Deadly Accident At The Main and Only entrance Of Puchong

Today , MOnday 30th June, about 3.45pm, a deadly accident occurs at the main and only entrance of puchong(Malaysai).

After my class finishes i head from bulit jalil crossing puchong over bridge to enter LDP highway. From fare i notice traffic jam on the overhead bridge . When i reach at the top on the bridge , many vehicle owners , park their vehicle as site and taking look at below of the bridge(the main entrance of puchong).

I stated "Main and Only Entrance" because , it is the only way to enter puchong from kuala lumpur and Pj . I also stop my vehicle a site , and take a look below , OH MY GOD, thats the first thing comes of my mouth .

I saw , a car separated into two pieces and the toe struck trying to pull the car to the site of the road. I reach the place bit late to look at what really happen , but when i look at the situation , i can assume something reallly bad took place there. The accident caused a dead lock situation at the entance of the puchong .

The Pictures i manage to snap:

Majority Indian Students In School:Another Crab Story

This article regarding Majority Indian students behavior and attitude which lead to their downfall .I write this article with some crab images , if you are an Indian , you should know what a crab mean . Thought this article , give extra attention to black crabs and its attitude. So lets we start.....

EARLY OF THE YEAR:

Early of the year the school session will begin after very long school holiday . All the friends will meet up again in the school and form small group of friends according to their interest , especially the Black Crabs . This black crabs usually like to tease all other black crabs which studying hard . This black crab group will have fun teasing other hard working black crabs and forget to study . And only go for school for seek attention by teasing other black crabs and black girl crabs. Most of the time , Other hard working crabs influenced by this bunch of black crab group and join them for fun . You know what happen to the hard working black crab after join them, stop to work hard and be one of group member and do the same thing as they do .

MIDDLE OF THE YEAR:

At this phase of time where schools curriculam and cocuriculam activities will heat up . Academic students will work hard towards year end exam and , spots active students will train hard to participate in competitions. The red crabs will mostly locust on academy rather than spots will work hard . Most of the time the red crabs just will, study , study , and study. See what the black crabs are doing , still in group , but they more active than school activities , planning about after school activities and spend time for nothing by talking "Urre Kathe"(empty talk).

END OF YEAR:

The finale year exam just around the corner , Now the red crabs start to relax because they already prepare for exam since early of the year . In other site , this black crabs have fun since early of the year , shrink in nerves . Some of the black crab will approach the red crabs to get subject related assistance , The answer , YO CAN SEE IN THE IMAGE. One site well prepared red crabs and , another site unprepared black crabs group . So which crab group will survive the exam and proceed to the next level successfully . The red crabs or the black ? I can ear your answer , for sure the red crabs , and the situation of the black crabs ........... TAK TAU OH,lol.


So you can ask me , what are the relationship of the Indian students and the crabs in the picture and also the article. If you as this question , either you should from very good school or never been went through this kind of situation in your school life . Never mind , ok now Imagen black crabs as the Indian students and red crabs as Chinese students . Now the image and article should make more sense and very much relater to the title of the article .

Improving Malaysian Mentality

I cant get a topic to talk about in my blog today beacause i plan to reduce talk about politic news. It dosen't mean i stop talk politic , but will reduce it . I boring and tired talk about malaysian politics since and before the past election. Now time to me enjoy my personal thought with others .
Today morning , some meaningful incidents happen to reflect current level of Malaysian Mentality. Malaysian well know for "Tidak Apa(malay)", "Kiasu(chinese)","Ennatha Nadekethe Papom(indians)" term . All of this attitude , make us Malaysian known for our 3rd class mentality . Don't mistake me , im not saying , we Malaysian not cleaver,lol , but just dont care about others and give priority to own race's news , environment and people.
But today morning bit difference , as usual i start my routine , prepare to go collage , start my bike , go to petrol pumb station to refill by motobike. When i park and approach the counter , i see a long queue , every day same think ,"oh god". Than what , im very good boy , always follow the line , lol. It takew few minute to reach the cashier of the counter . When i almost want pay , there is another illegal queue form out of no where . And the guy beside me , who from the illegal que , starch his asr me pay before me . I can notice he is daily customer who owner of big lorry . Supraisingly , the cashier show stop sign by using her hand , and kindly take my money . wow , really touching . You may ask , even this kind you want be touching ah , ok , but let me finish first . Now i have to go to pastence(looks like pastense stories nowadys really laku,lol). Since very long i refill my bike at same petrol station. What happen all this time is , when i stand in queue and reach the cashier to pay , the guy who from illegal que , usualy lorry drivers and some car divers to , will their aggressiveness stretch their hand to pay . and the cashier with her/his smiling face recieve the money without bother from which queue the money come from. And i have use my aggeresiveness in my harm to quickly stretch my hand to pay . My explanation not over yet why im feel touched . when today mornig incident took place , a real Malaysain environment is there . Why you know , im a indian(paying money from correct line), cahier is a Malay(who stop the customer from illegal que from paying) , and the person from illegal line is a chinese . What awondrfull moment in Malaysain history,lol.

Another Malaysian habit which hard to take away from us is , our littering habit . We hold a rubbish in our hand like softdrink tin , plastic bag or whatever . after some time , we will look left abd rite , is there anyone noticing and , quily through or drop the rubbish which previously holing by us . Reason , as your self , very long list of reason for this situation . Now we continue my mornig story . After refill , a enter the main road and rempit heading my collage. Morning heavy trafic jam as usual so have to go through betwwen cars . Here where you can see , all the malaysian drivers attitute , smoking while drop hand out of window , playing zig-zag switching line in the jam without bother about motobikers , littering out what ever from in side the car to the road, and bla bla bla. When in going through the cars , suddently a car side window , dropping down , as i know that the window will go down to do reason i stated before. As i aspected as small hand comes out of the car window while holding McD burger wrapper . That when heavy jam and even motobikers also have to go very slow . By the time i past the car , very slow , i heard mother of the child who want to litter scold the child while stop the small kid from litter from the car . First time in my motobiking history i witnest such a incident . wow . I do not know how much it mean to you , but personally it mean alot to me .

Malaysian Mentality Improving? You be the Judge.....

Fight Against Racism: Footballers

Four former football stars have talked at a UEFA EURO 2008™ reception about their experiences of racism and discrimination that they have encountered whilst playing in Europe.

Yves Eigenrauch, Ramon Vega, Paul Elliott and Anthony Baffoe, who are all ambassadors for the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) network, took part in a question-and-answer session to mark the three-week anti-discrimination programme at the tournament. The Unite Against Racism programme, coordinated by the FARE network in conjunction with UEFA and supported of the professional players' union FIFPro, will run throughout the tournament.
TV advertising spot:

It will include the TV advertising spot "Different Languages - One Goal: No To Racism" broadcast at every game and produced in co-operation with the European Commission.

(in Malaysian this video looks different , two Malaysian talk in different language , but end up hugging each other when goal been scored )

Vega(former Swiss captain and English FA Premier League star with Tottenham Hotspur FC)said:
"I played in the United Kingdom, both in England and Scotland, as well as France and Italy, and I experienced discrimination in all of them. In the UK, I was the foreigner. This left me feeling very isolated. In Italy too, supporters and even fellow professionals targeted me for abuse. But football is a great leveller. This is why I am here, to help show what this great sport can do when bringing people together and stamping out racism."

Elliott(former Chelsea FC, Celtic FC and AS Bari defender) said:
"The racism problem in the game is improving, but we still need to rely on law, and implementation of the law.
"I was one of the first generation of black players in the UK who received racist abuse of the ugliest kind. Banana-throwing was commonplace. Now things are different but both individuals and agencies, like FARE, need to keep working together to maintain this progress."

Ghana's Anthony Baffoe(FC Köln in Germany) added:
"I used humour and irony to tackle racism during my time in Germany. Some fans liked it, others didn't, but it earned me respect. Now one only has to look at the leading players across Europe. Many of them are African." Baffoe played in many countries and was able to give his view on how racism from the terraces differed in different parts of the world.

Morale of the story:
Even footballers care about Racism , so how about us(Malaysian goverment and citizens)?
Are we care enough to handle Racism in Malaysia?

Toilets and cars hot spots for sex

KUALA LUMPUR: Outside the bedroom, the toilet is the next likely spot for Malaysians to engage in sex, according to the 2005 Durex Global Sex Survey.

Of the 5,409 Malaysians who responded to the survey, 44% claimed they have had sex in the loo. The second and third favoured spots are the car (38%) and parents' bedroom (24%).

The survey, now in its ninth year, also revealed that Malaysians are quite adventurous in pursuing their sexual escapades (see illustration).

The respondents, who also voted model Amber Chia as the sexiest Malaysian celebrity, comprised 70% males and 30% females.

Those aged 21 to 34 years made up 72% of the respondents while those below 20 made up 15%.

A total 65% of the respondents said they would encourage young people to practise safe sex, against 20% who would tell them to abstain from sex until marriage.

Malaysians are also losing their virginity at an average age of 19 years, compared with 19.3 last year and 20 in 2001.

About 67% of respondents said they only received sex education when they were 15 or older.

When they want to avoid sex, the top excuse used by Malaysians is “I'm tired” (32.6%).

One in 10 respondents also admitted to have had a homosexual experience, 29% had one-night stands, 19% “took the back door”, 14% had extra-marital affairs, and 9% had threesomes.

The survey showed that the average Malaysian has sex 83 times a year, compared with the worldwide average of 103 times.

The Greeks topped the world average with a frequency of 138 times a year, while the Japanese ranked lowest at 45 times a year.
