Tahniah! Pemimpin DAP bersikap patriotik hantar "Anak Malaysia" ke Sekolah Kebangsaan

-
Penulis tertarik dengan laporan bahawa Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) menolak permohonan Hannah Yeoh, ADUN Subang Jaya dari DAP untuk mendaftarkan bangsa anaknya sebagai "Anak Malaysia" di ruangan bangsa di dalam Sijil Kelahiran.

JPN tentunya sudah mempunyai garis panduan yang perlu diikuti bagi mengisi ruangan bangsa di dalam setiap Sijil Kelahiran yang dikeluarkan. Semuanya perlu mengikut peraturan dan prosedur yang ditetapkan. Bukannya boleh diisi ikut suka hati sahaja. Kalau ikutkan Hannah Yeoh ini mungkin sahaja beliau mahu mengisi "Caucasian" di ruangan bangsa anaknya, tapi takut nampak kelakar dan pelik pula nanti.

Sebenarnya Hannah Yeoh ini sudah tahu bahawa JPN sudah pasti menolak permohonan sebegini. Tetapi atas sebab Hannah ini berbangsa Cina DAP, memang semua perkara mahu dijadikan modal politik. Bak kata blogger RBF, "Masalah Laki Bini Dijadikan Masalah Negara!". Yang suami mahukan anak didaftar berbangsa India. Yang Hannah pula tarik telinga suaminya berkeras mahukan bangsa Cina. Penyudahnya sengaja cipta isu dengan cubaan mahu diisi dengan "Anak Malaysia".

Setelah ditolak, Hannah isi juga bangsa anaknya. Apa jalan penyelesaian yang diambil oleh Hannah Yeoh?Penulis ingatkan bangsa anaknya didaftarkan atas susur bangsa sebelah bapa iaitu berbangsa India. Tetapi bangsa Cina juga dipilihnya. Kenapa? Entahlah. Hanya suami isteri itu sahaja yang tahu apa sebabnya. Elok wartawan tanya kenapa dia pilih bangsa Cina tidak bangsa India?

Kalau ikutkan trend 'patriotik' Hannah Yeoh ini, penulis percaya akan ramailah anak-anak dari kalangan pemimpin DAP akan berebut-rebut memilih sekolah kebangsaan sebagai sekolah pilihan mereka. Mungkin bukan setakat berebut-rebut sahaja, tetapi lebih daripada itu. Mungkin kita akan lihat senario di mana pemimpin DAP berebut-rebut menghentam mereka-mereka yang menghantar anak-anak ke sekolah Cina lalu diheret jadi agenda besar negara. Ya! Agenda demi perpaduan sebenar. Tapi semua rakyat tahu, 'patriotik' Hannah Yeoh itu cuma "patriotik kura-kura"! Hanya berpura-pura patriotik!

Kalau ikutkan trend benar-benar ikhlas dan bersikap patriotik sebagai "Anak Malaysia" sudah tentulah Sekolah Kebangsaan jadi pilihan utama. Tapi penulis berani jamin, Hannah Yeoh dan juga spesis "patriotik kura-kura" yang lain sudah tentu 'bermati-matian' menghantar anak mereka ke sekolah Cina.

Bukankah begitu wahai Hannah Yeoh dan mereka-mereka yang tergolong dalam spesis "patriotik kura-kura"?

Usaha Penyeragaman Sukatan Pelajaran Bahasa Melayu Sekolah Vernakular Ditolak Dong Zong

Chinese groups against national schools’ BM syllabus
Kong See Hoh

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 17, 2009): A number of Chinese groups are against the Education Ministry's proposal for vernacular primary schools to adopt the same syllabus used in national schools for the Bahasa Malaysia (BM) language subject, the Chinese press reported today.

Currently, the BM textbooks used in Chinese and Tamil primary schools are different from that used in national schools. So are the UPSR (Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah) BM examination papers.

Responding to a report in Sin Chew Daily, which broke the story on standardising the BM syllabus on Monday, Dong Zong (United Chinese School Committees Association) president Dr Yap Sin Tian sees the move as burdening pupils from vernacular schools who have to grapple with three languages.

He pointed out that for Chinese schools, where BM is taught as a second language, to adopt the same syllabus as that used in national schools, where BM is taught as a first language, goes against the principles of the national education philosophy.

He said Chinese school pupils have to learn three languages and cannot be expected to follow the same syllabus and the same way of learning BM as their peers in national schools.

To force Chinese schools to adopt the same syllabus will also affect the character of these schools, he said.

He urged the ministry not to resort to all means to change the syllabuses in Chinese schools. National Union of Heads of School president Pang Chong Leong echoed Yap's concern on the possibility of an added burden on Chinese schools pupils.

He was worried that Chinese schools pupils might not be able to catch up as they have one more language to learn than national school pupils.

Pang, who said he had made clear the union's stand at a meeting with the ministry, hoped that it would think thrice on the proposal.

Hua Zong (Federation of Chinese Associations in Malaysia) president Tan Sri Pheng Yin Huah said instead of raising the standard of BM in vernacular schools, the move may backfire as the pupils, because of the medium of instruction in their schools, may have problems coping with syllabus of a higher standard.

He said pupils may end up with an aversion to the language, and "worse still for Chinese schools, parents seeking better environment to learn the national language may decide to send their children to national schools where Chinese language is already made a subject".

United Chinese School Alumni Association of Malaysia said in a statement that Chinese schools cannot accept the proposal as it is a roundabout way of reducing the number of classes for subjects taught in Mandarin.

It has been reported that the ministry proposed that along with the change in syllabus, vernacular schools will have to teach BM an additional 90 minutes a week, at the expense of other subjects.

On Monday, Education Director-General Datuk Alimuddin Md Dom told Nanyang Siang Pau that the government is considering adopting national school BM syllabus in vernacular schools beginning with Year One in 2012.

He said if the pilot project proves successful in Year One, it would be extended to other classes.

He said the move is aimed at bring the standard of the language in vernacular schools to be on par with national schools.

However, he said it is still at the conceptual stage.

Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said the ministry needs in-depth studies on the proposal and has yet to make a decision.

He said he had objected to the proposal in at least three internal meetings.

Sekolah 1 Aliran: Dong Zong celaka menggelupur!

Resounding 'No' to single stream school system

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 2, 2009) : Dong Zong (United Chinese School Committees Association) says it is against a single stream school system and will submit a memorandum to the prime minister to express regrets over recent remarks made by academics, MPs and the education minister on the subject.

Speaking to reporters after chairing the annual meeting of Dong Zong affiliates (Dong Lian Hui) in Ipoh on Sunday, the education movement's president Dr Yap Sin Tian said the decision to submit a memorandum to Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak was reached in the meeting.

He said Dong Zong would draft the memorandum as soon as possible and seek endorsement from other Chinese groups on the memorandum, the Chinese press reported today.

Yap said the meeting also censured historian Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim for raising the subject of the single stream system.

Khoo had proposed a restructure of the national education system, including the implementation of a single stream, to ensure attainment of the goals of the 1Malaysia concept.

He said the existing school system with various streams does not help the people really understand the meaning of the concept.

Dr Yap Sin TianThis prompted calls by several MPs for the government to introduce a single stream school system as well as dissenting voices from the Chinese community.

Yap said instead of promoting national unity, the implementation of the single stream school system would hamper unity and create racial tensions.

He urged the government and political parties to state their stand on attempts by some people to use the 1Malaysia concept to achieve their political agendas of a "nation state" and a single stream school system.

He also urged all quarters to raise their guard and to stand firm against any assimilation policy.

He said Malaysians must accept the fact that Malaysia is a "multi-national state" (a state which contains two or more ethnic groups as identified by religion, language, or colour) and not a "nation state" (the concept of one country, one race, one culture, one language and a single stream school system).

Meanwhile, Hua Zong (Federation of Chinese Associations of Malaysia) president lambasted proponents of single stream school system for creating the misconception that the current multiple-stream school system and Malaysia's multicultural traits, which are the country's strong points, were stumbling blocks to unity.

"We must remind academics and politicians with extremist thinking not to abuse the 1Malaysia concept," he said at the anniversary celebration of the Perak Chinese Assembly Hall in Ipoh on Sunday night.

Tan Sri Pheng Yin Huah Last week, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said he was all for single stream schools to promote unity and 1Malaysia.

However, he said the issue should be looked at in its totality with views from all quarters, including those of the Chinese and Indian communities.

Such schools, he said, were the ultimate objective of the Razak Report but due to circumstances involving the country’s history, it ended up with a multiple-stream system.

Last Saturday, Najib said the government would consider the views of the people before making a decision on the proposal to implement a single stream school system.

He said the government would only change any policy if it had the people's agreement, otherwise it would retain the existing policy.

He said a change to a single stream school system required a major shift in policy and it raised the question of whether the people were ready to forgo their right to choose the type of education they wanted.

Kembara Politik:

1. Si celaka Dong Zong sudah bangkit bangun menyeru segala kaumnya untuk bersatu mempertahankan Sekolah Cina yang tidak ada pun dinyatakan haknya dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

2. Mereke-mereka yang dari jenis ini memang terkenal dengan sikap ultra kiasunya. Mereka ini bermulut dan berhati busuk dengan segala jenis tekanan yang diberikan agar kerajaan melepaskan segala dasar Kerajaan yang mereka label 'perkauman'. Mereka hendak kaut semua benda nampak gayanya.

3. Tetapi dalam hal untuk seluruh rakyat bersatu di bawah sekolah satu aliran bahasa Melayu pun mereka bangkang. Mereke ini begitu tebal ke'Cina'annya. Apa-apa yang berkenaan dengan ke'Cina'an tidak boleh diusik disentuh oleh mana-mana pihak. Padahal cadangan Satu Aliran ada juga menyelitkan pembelajaran bahasa ibunda di dalamnya. Tapi kita sudah lihat bahawa apa-apa yang ada kaitan dengan ke'Melayu'an semuanya dipertikai. Semuanya disuruh samarata. Baru adil dakwa mereka ini.

4. Ini bukannya samarata dan adil namanya. Ini namanya ULTRA KIASU!
