I have come to realise that changes can take some time to make, so hope such red tape when implementing such change will not shorten as we want to see changes being made now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-65456243385461766312008-03-21T01:26:00.000+08:002008-03-21T01:26:00.000+08:00Higher education in Malaysia is a sham and a shame...Higher education in Malaysia is a sham and a shame for as long as racist policies are in place. <BR/><BR/>Students are filtered racially at every level - pre-university, undergraduate, post-graduate and in every field and discipline.<BR/><BR/>There is no honor and no sense of mediocrity.<BR/><BR/>I am not convinced such policies will be reversed under an UMNO minister. <BR/><BR/>http://unwantedcitizen.blogspot.com/2008/03/slab-another-reason-to-slap-bn-in-face.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-37259926456576143872008-03-19T20:03:00.000+08:002008-03-19T20:03:00.000+08:00Since the so-called Reform Cabinet is all about im...Since the so-called Reform Cabinet is all about implementation, let's hope that the Higher Education Strategic Plan formulated by Tok Pa and his committees will be thoroughly implemented. And following on the transparency initiative whereby Ministers will declare publicly all their assets, Profs/APs should do likewise by disclosing their scholarly achievements for all to see, and perhaps snigger at in some cases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-10187978032808696742008-03-19T17:42:00.000+08:002008-03-19T17:42:00.000+08:00anon above, i hav a better idea. y not ask khalid ...anon above, i hav a better idea. y not ask khalid remove da racial quota policies of ipta's admission & jpa scholarships, sounds great eh??? x)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-12435781315723251122008-03-19T13:12:00.000+08:002008-03-19T13:12:00.000+08:00Khalid, I hope you do something about the Universi...Khalid, I hope you do something about the University University College Act.

This will in a way help safeguard quality. As it is now, we do not know why the person gets the promotion, especially when we know certain individuals certainly do not deserve their promotion and their are those who truly deserve their promotion, but do not get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-35492253596505582332008-03-19T07:11:00.000+08:002008-03-19T07:11:00.000+08:00Yes, I agree with Kian Meng that Tok Pa has done a...Yes, I agree with Kian Meng that Tok Pa has done a lot for Higher Ed in Malaysia. Sure, he wasn't perfect - but who is!<BR/><BR/>In his quiet way, he put into place a lot of systemic changes... but, like the Strategic Plan that Kian Meng commented on a few months ago, there is much to be implemented now.<BR/><BR/>It would be a shame if history repeats itself, where new Ministers of Education reinvent the wheel everytime they step into office.<BR/><BR/>In Tok Pa's case, I believe he started off with what the previous Minister (Shafie) had laid out and built upon that.<BR/><BR/>NST quoted the new Minister talking about the challenges of bringing up quality etc, so initial indications at least suggest he may be looking to build upon the still newly laid foundation.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, all the best to Khaled Nordin - for the sake of Malaysian Higher Education (which means all Malaysians!), let us hope he can deliver!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-49430565258436115672008-03-19T00:33:00.000+08:002008-03-19T00:33:00.000+08:00Khalid, is a a lawyer, still maintain firm in JB, ...Khalid, is a a lawyer, still maintain firm in JB, may be proxy to Sharil samat and Tun Musa, very thick cronies.
