With excellent brains, this may work a little bit longer. Globalised world make such planning more difficult. Also these schemes tend to ramp up the input (quantity/no of people/ quality of education of people) into the economy but does not bother to fix the 'processing bits'.<BR/><BR/>I am not totally against such schemes ( nowadays lots of Indian became call centre advisors and programmer against their own interest and ambitions too) but I have serious concern about those planners, more so when they cannot distinguish between what is politic and what is economic.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>casper<BR/>http://www.e-malaysian.orgCasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968066001104486355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1162261877573368032006-10-31T10:31:00.000+08:002006-10-31T10:31:00.000+08:00The comparison between Mat Rempit and a certain co...The comparison between Mat Rempit and a certain country 's cabinet is eerily true. Both show similar approaches in modifying and changing the laws of the country as they feel fit. Talk about rukun negara....hehehe<BR/>The only way to solve both these mat rempit problems is to place them in pulau jerejak where they can do no damages.<BR/>Trouble is pulau jerejak cant accomodate the inctreasing number of mat rempits. These mat rempits are not only in cabinets but in city and town councils.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1162261344211291952006-10-31T10:22:00.000+08:002006-10-31T10:22:00.000+08:00Its an interesting analogy to compare our educatio...Its an interesting analogy to compare our education system with Mat Rempit. I would say I find some legitimacy in the comparison. Its natural because the Mat Rempit phenomenon is in part a failure of the education system - a disconnect between the aspiration and skills of the students from the education system.<BR/><BR/>The truth is the experience is not unique. I remember Singapore had a school-gangster problem long time ago. A big part of the solution was their vocational training schools. These kids were taught to be mechanics, carpenters, skilled construction workers, etc. By streaming them, they could isolate the problem and dealth with them directly. I remember the neighourhood police being very close to the principals of these schools and often talking to the students and conducting programs with these schools and neigbourhood.<BR/><BR/>There are answers to 'rempitization' but the truth is it requires good government from teachers to police to education officials. There is no simple comprehensive answer, it calls for many programs and systems working. This is unfortunately Not us which is what Dr. Azly is eluding too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1162215388429865192006-10-30T21:36:00.000+08:002006-10-30T21:36:00.000+08:00Oh, now i understand why a commoner called K-hairy...Oh, now i understand why a commoner called K-hairy beria-ria want to incorporated Mat Rempit as national asset, and each of us has to be proud of that.

Anyway, I do not have the answer, but I do know that a group of Mat Rempits is actually running our country, making lots and lots of noises we dont like to hear. Very deafening at times, too. Sometimes they call themselves the Cabinet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1162208320615718852006-10-30T19:38:00.000+08:002006-10-30T19:38:00.000+08:00and who is the biggest rempit of them all? anyone?...and who is the biggest rempit of them all? anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
