slave trade route in 16th,17th century: capture african natives on africa continent coast,sail to north america and west indies,sell slaves to cotton plantations,buy cotton.sail back to europe and britain,sell cotton. then sail back to africa coastlines...

opium trade route in 19th century.buy opium from india ports.sail to china's ports,sell opium and buy tea. sail back to britain and sell tea.then sail back to india to buy opium.

education trade route in 20th and 21st century. give master and phd qualifcations from uk,australia,US unis to msians and then have them return to teach in msia or other south east nations in their own private universities like monash,nottingham,curtin,swinburne etc..or private colleges with twinning collaboration with foreign unis. example taylor, inti, sunway, kdu, binary, informatics, cosmopoint, help, olympia, tar college,nilai international college etc... their targets: international students must be lured from india,pakistan,china,bangladesh,vietnam and other asian nations. for example: a msian lecturer with master degree from UK university teaches and supports US degree program in Msia's private education industry.the lecturer has to support his political patron because he is under their sponsorship/scholarship.

Britain was a nation addicted to tea,grown in china.the silver they spent on it began to drain the treasury,until british merchants discovered one thing for which the chinese would also be willing to spend silver: opium .they made the fateful decision to begin supplying the chinese with the drug,contributing to a growing addiction problem among china's population.

britain was a nation in needs of Malaysia's electronic and semiconductor goods.the british,americans,australians discovered one thing for which the msians would also be willing to spend their money/ringgit on :education and knowledge. they sell to the malaysians with ICT, business, management, marketing, computer studies,finance, engineering, etc..degree and diploma courses. contributing to a growing addiction problem among msian non-bumiputra citizens to private education.


the high commisioner,lin zexu sent by chinese emperor to solve the opium's problem. lin zexu confiscated all the opium in canton and had them burned.

mahathir appointed new education minister,tan sri musa formely from usm. to solve msia's weak education system especially to check and rein in private education industry that bleeds money out from msia. .LAN is conceived.operasi heboh dan gempur crackdown on errant private colleges implemented.

It was rumored that the viceroy of canton was involved in the opium trade himself, and that members of the imperial court profited from the trade in the form of bribes or as smugglers themselves.the opium trade had thoroughly corrupted the chinese government as much as it had devastated its citizens' health.

even BN's politicians/political warlords(members of cabinets) like liong sik,sammy vellu,etc ..and education warlords with close association with ruling BN political parties like tan sri dato dr. jeffrey cheah,dato peter ng,tan sri lim kok wing,dato dr.yahaya,encik abu bakar, prof dato mohd shukri,tan sri dato mohd khir johari,dr.ismail md salleh,the pereira family,tengku shamsul bahrin and many more CEOs of private colleges were involved in education trade themselves.they profited from the trade in the form of bribes or as smugglers(selling foreign unis degrees on msia's soil) themselves. one(msians) wants power,another (foreigners) want profits. the education trade had thoroughly corrupted the msian government as much as it had devastated its citizens' mind. unemployed graduates on the rise.millions of ringgit for graduate retraining schemes.msian with foreign degrees : a smuggler??


the treaty of nanking .it secures us a few round millions of dollar and no end of very refreshing tea.the british would gain access to and the right of permanent residence at the ports of canton,amoy,fuzhou,ningbo and shanghai.


memorandum of understanding and smart partnership between education and industries.they secures us a few round millions of ringgit and no end of malaysia's manufactured goods.the british,americans,europeans,etc would gain access to and right of permanent residence at MSC, sarawak,penang,etc....and other msia locations where private colleges/unis have their campuses.

the first few salvos already fired by msian government in early 2004.

the first salvo: higher form 6 intake in 2004.minimum 5 SPM credits requirement. decrease of students' intake in private education industry.

private education warlords like liong sik and microsoft's managing director butt wai choon countered by saying " No longer can education stay in the hands of government and educators alone. The public and private sectors must form strategic partnerships, if education is going to keep pace with, or serve as a driving force of,socioeconomic change".

2nd salvo, many msian government owned teacher's colleges upgraded to universities status to cater for more form 6 leavers.

private education from informatics countered by offering IT courses to msian students after PMR. a new IT certificate courses.

other moves: temasek holding ,a Singapore government investment company moves to acquire telekom(MMU) shares. kolej disted-stamford "ditelan" or teamed up with MMU.

the latest education/knowledge product they (msians conspiring/colluding/conniving with foreign unis and foreign investors/industries) are going to sell is biotechnology...

Mahathir said "we give MSC to the world". Is MSC a foreign colony on Msia 's soil??
burning,looting and sacking of China's Summer Palaces is analogy to "sacking of Putrajaya??"the future scenario??hope not....
