You have a system where the best are exported, the majority are unemployed and the employed are on crutches. Ask when are they going to pay back their study loan, that would be more relavent and I am sure it will help solve the cash flow problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1159874168398614042006-10-03T19:16:00.000+08:002006-10-03T19:16:00.000+08:00I think that no matter how much money the governme...I think that no matter how much money the government, or more precisely the citizens, pour into the education sector, there won't any improvement at all. Money is not going to solve all the problems we have now, but will only further deteriorate them. <BR/><BR/>As long as NEP is still on, the country will only get worse, as commented by KM and TP earlier "Academic Jokes". If we take a close look at how the funds are distributed, 80% of them are actually used to feed the so-called Bumiputera, and the rest only for the nation's interest as a whole. Do they really think that the Bumiputera will improve by spoonfeeding? <BR/><BR/>I guess no point commenting further on BN's policies. It's a secret all of us know. <BR/><BR/>What a joke.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1159866229937167752006-10-03T17:03:00.000+08:002006-10-03T17:03:00.000+08:00We may actually pay RM 33.4 billion for RM 3.34 bi...We may actually pay RM 33.4 billion for RM 3.34 billion projects.

That is, where can we obtain more energy to supply the ever increasing demands from various industries to support our economy and feed our vechicles with gasoline and diesel. But that's a problem after decades pass by. <BR/><BR/>Besides, we don't want to see another scandal akin to the case alleged by Datuk Ong Tee Kiat and proven correct by the Work Ministry. The fund allocation itself becomes a big question mark for us, the <I>rakyat</I>. No matter how monumental the Budget is allocated to the education sector, we must utilise it efficiently. Quantity will not solve the problem. Look at what we have here, thousands of unemployed graduates and the population is still increasing. Will the job market grow overnight? <BR/><BR/>Yes we need more knowlege workers and professionals to help develop the country in order to achieve her Vision 2020. Actually we have already abundant in place. But the Government does not appreciate them with its discriminative and biased policies which have curtailed their ambitions coupled with their skills are appreciated more in other countries, hence the brain drain issue crops up. Can we be proud to be the exporter of home-grown talents and scholars?<BR/><BR/>Finally, rather than increasing the existing Budget for education, we should strive for transparency and accountability in the spending of the education budget and make the expenditures public for all of us to judge and possibly let the <I>rakyat</I>to have some says in order to improve the following Budget.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
