Unless there is a major shift in government policies, R&D, biovalley and whatnot are just flashes of a dream. We are just not competitive enough to be a leading hub for excellence in science and technology.

Just check out the Singaporean Agency for Science, Technology and Research and look at what we have..............

They have the will power and the institutions to keep talents, what do we have?

Last but not least, Universities do play a major role if we want to develope a k-based economy. We know that Singaporean tertiary institutions already have co-ops and tieups with universities like stanford and MIT etc. While our premier institution of higher learning is just drifting out from the influence of our lovable Capt. Datuk Prof. Dr. Hashim. Can you see the disparity?

Can you do all that in 5 years?

I heard they tend to put more effort in biotech since other country are doing so, but i feel like putting so many money in it is such a waste. Since our country still don't have that potential in biotech you know. And then spending of 170000000000 for the ninth projext, is it a bit too much? I mean why spending more and more as years gone, but then we can't see much improvement especially the poor people life. Every plan, they said they want to help the poor people, but why, theres still so many poor people and non-employeer. The only thing i am glad is, they are putting more effort in Pertanian field, since the universities graduate are having serious problem in finding jobs, i think, pertanian is one of the very good field. EARN a LOT !! ACTUALLY, change ur attitude, and u will know.APPRECIATE LAR ~~ ( i might do pertanian too, if i got sponser)

The problem is, our government doesn't care about quality.

Look at our education system. They set the marks for an A using the bell curve. The result, excess high-achievers.

They build MORE and MORE universities, when the current ones are deplorable. Why can't they improve them first before building more?
The result, excess manpower with degrees, often without the imperative skills for employment.

8MP ,.... 9MP got any difference or not in d quality of life.


all i know, we the students have sooo much 2 study... in class teachers just wanna finish syllabus . sooo many things 2 hafal but got no time to analyse, evaluate n appreciate what we learn


now moe wants to change system... less exam based....
mum says heard that b4lor ,when i was still in primary .. kbsr kbsm etc

gov has good plans but implementation wise .....some one has 2walk around with d cane
malaysia boleh (tak implement properly as planned if no one is watching, )

i give up my seat on d bus 2 older people, help them carry their things up but so often, i see most young people not bothered.
tell u a story. once i overheard tis :

lady: dik, bas ini lalu sect 17 tak.....
student:( in a reluctant tone): tak tau. kalau dia lalu , lalula .kalau tak lalu, tidakla

maybe student always ponten kemahiran hidup/pendidikan moral class ,oh??



lady bout mid40's. student bout 19-early 20's girl

The biggest for the 9th MP would be Agriculture, biotechnology and ICT. Wider application of modern farming method in agriculture would no doubt, help those from rural areas to increase their income, hopefully one day reducing the income disparity between urban and rural areas..

For biotechnology, I think the opening of Malaysia first National Institute of Pharmaceutical in Nilai (if I'm not mistaken) is the first step for Malaysia to improve the health services in Malaysia as well as producing our own world-class health products. This sector also will provide more job opportunities for Malaysian as well as help to improve other economic sector esp. Agriculture for research.

ICT however, I don't think we can compete with other cybercities like Silicon Valley nor Bangalore yet, but it's a good step that Malaysia finally decided to introduced new cybercities (Malacca, Perak, Sarawak, Johor) so that the more people from can also gain the benefit from this technology.

The usage of technology (ICT) in school is a good thing. The problem is, like my school, we got computer and internet facilities but students were not allowed to use the computer. So what's the computer are for? Exhibition?? In the end, most of the computer skills that we learn is from home, not school. Therefore, if you want to make Smart School a reality, we have to change the attitude of the teacher towards technology first..

YES exactly.

Anyway i find this really questionable. The 9th MP said that they will allocate about 700 millions to transport. Now, rewind to last month when if I'm not mistaken, supposedly the govern will save about 4 BILLION a year by hiking up the petrol price and also the money will supposedly be channelled to improve the transportations and whatnots.

So the question is where will the excess money go?
*cough* MAS *cough*
