Teachers' salary, teachers' qualifications, teaching qualities and etc are essential factors in producing future generations of Malaysians who will bring the country closer to its vision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1145690577978397522006-04-22T15:22:00.000+08:002006-04-22T15:22:00.000+08:00these politicians are really amazing!

I guess when you don't have to define the criteria, its plausible to self-proclaim based on fuzzy criteria. <BR/><BR/>The problem is our leaders and especially their followers have never faced the dynamic changes that are going on in the world before. They don't really understand how fast the world is changing and can change. The lack of urgency on implementing change just show this. If they understood, they would be able to convey to those resisting change that they don't have a choice. Because they can't it shows they don't understand it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1144903457830796892006-04-13T12:44:00.000+08:002006-04-13T12:44:00.000+08:00Hurray, did you read the paper, the prime minister...Hurray, did you read the paper, the prime minister himself is puzzled why all the projects are already taken by the cronies.

I dont see anything different compare to its predecessor, just paraphrasing and rebranding only. <BR/><BR/>We can have the best plan ever in history, but as long as the people who are suppose to propel it are not doing so, those plans are just pieces of rubbish. So, dont bother what those politicians say and get on with life, your own LIFE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1144732668878442862006-04-11T13:17:00.000+08:002006-04-11T13:17:00.000+08:00To be able to execute things right, one must have ...To be able to execute things right, one must have convictions and faith in the plan. The cabinet is filled with ministers with their own personal agendas with very little respect, corrupted, and almost no convictions for the prosperity of the nation except their own pocket. Even with billions of dollars spent it will be useless because the people handling the funds are those mediocre people. <BR/>Alright assumming they do something about the standard of the university my first question is and always will be, is the merit system going to be enforced? This is the fundamental question, of quality control in academia. Without this, kiss those plans goodbye. Means nothing but big word, which politicians are good at.<BR/>To be honest, I am still very skeptical about it because basically the people who are suppose to run these policies and plans are still the same old from the corrupted regime. Not much change in the cabinet remember? And of course this problem related to quality is always coupled with the problem of special rights and privelleges, they prefer not to be fair so that they can always maintain their privelleges. With this kind of mindset in the majority the plan has already been butchered before it even takes off.<BR/><BR/>Pur.BoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1144717716699396712006-04-11T09:08:00.000+08:002006-04-11T09:08:00.000+08:00Damn right, we are damn good at coming out with do...Damn right, we are damn good at coming out with documents filled with sweet words and sweet nothing.<BR/><BR/>Some targets will be achieved. However, to expect the nation to have two top universities in the world by the year 2020, forget about it. We will be damn lucky if our local universities don't sink below their current pathetic rut. <BR/><BR/>In 14 years time, we will still be as muddled as we are today over the language issue (e.g., to teach or not to teach in English) and race issue (i.e., Malay first).<BR/><BR/>We just cannot practise the basic tenet of being a top university, i.e., be truly open and allow talents, ideas, opinions, criticisms, and discussions to flourish.<BR/><BR/>Sensible and objective people in our local universities know where our universities are heading: down, down, down!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1144698176258495802006-04-11T03:42:00.000+08:002006-04-11T03:42:00.000+08:00More budget allocation to areas in innovation, res...More budget allocation to areas in innovation, research and development, human capital, and workforce development is good news.
