guess most recomers know what this issue is all about.
Education-Industry-Government conspiracies at international levels are something that msians cannot do anything about it. we can theorize about it and discuss about it.
hence i am starting this serious thread.
msia is helpless becos, no way, msian police can arrest foreign conspirators on their home soil and bring them to msia for questioning and trials.
so morpheous will bring up some past articles pointing out IF msia's education system is being diluted by foreigners to meet foreign industries' demands(working world..)...for example selling useless knowledge/courses with little academic values...(msia's education system under assault/attack)??
all are highly debatable!..and highly controversies becoz whether these conspiracies will eventually translate into government sponsorship/scholarship..,perhaps???
hmm...whether if there is a link between MSC's ICT with msia's private college/uni and the latest BioValley project's Biotech industry...?
here are morpheous's X-files..:P
warning! some articles/quotes may not suit your likings!!
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.

How to use 36 Chinese Stratagems to attack Malaysia 's tertiary education system Posted 11-10-2003 03:32
Know Mahathir's mind and your mind and you can defeat him. Mahathir wants NEP ,most importantly he want to change the Malays. He uses government money or taxpayers money(power) to sponsor ("buy") education qualifications for young, bright Malay students. He sponsored tons of them to study at UK universities,spending billions of ringgit.
He catered to the needs of foreign investors. He builts infrastructure for them. He is a human being and can be trapped into a blunder like Cao Cao in the Battle of Red Cliff during Three Kingdom period.
In this 21st century, every nations in the world are engaged in global warfare for earth's resources. This war is global trade war. To win in this war, you need information. By making money, you can use your profit to buy resources from other nations.There is no need to wage physical warfare like sending invading armies or navy to attack a nation as happended in World War 2.
Information is knowledge and knowledge comes from education ,the backbone in building a nation.
Sun Tzu said " In time of peace, we must prepare for war, in time of war, we must prepare for peace....
Here are some examples of 36 Chinese stratagems employed in dealing with Malaysia.
Stratagem 1 Cross the sea under the camouflage
Foreigners can "economics colonize" Malaysia through foreign direct investments. They are coming to Malaysia under the pretense of investment. They are foreign investors. The sight of common investment pouring into Malaysia leads to slackened suspicion. Secret plans are better concealed in the open than in the dark and extreme public exposure often contains extreme secrecy.Rafidah wouldn't know all the secret schemes behind all these foreign investors,right?
Stratagem 2 Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao
America uses this stratagem.Attack and invade Irag to relieve Israel. This stratagem has nothing to do with education, not at this present moment, perhaps in the far future where international pressure can be apply on Malaysia to continue proving cheap water supply to Singapore. Pressure Malaysia to relieve Singapore.
Stratagem 3 Kill with a borrowed knife.
This is a real classic. In line with NEP, use the Malays' hands to "kill" the non-bumiputra. Use those sponsored Malay students to replace genuine non-bumiputra academicians in local universities.Mahathir's government practised this for decades.He kept on doing so until more than 90% of academicians in local universities are Malay sponsored students.
Remember this,Zhou Yu deceives Cao Cao into executing his experienced Naval commanders before liberating firestorm at Battle of Red Cliff.
Stratagem 4 Wait at ease for the enemy
To weaken or to divert Malaysia Government's attention, engage the Malaysia government into building many grand world class infrastructure. Tire Mahathir's energy and divert his attention from the oncoming assault on education. Moreover, the building of these grand infrastructure will "spillover" to foreigners benefits. For example Japanese and Korea contractors made money in building Petronas Twin Towers.
Statagem 5 Loot a burning house
When education path or meritocracy path is utterly destroyed by "sabotage and braindead" those sponsored Malay students at UK. Private colleges with close collaboration with foreign universities shall reap in huge profit selling fake education degree like hot cake. Confusion and chaos shall ensue when many local graduates are jobless after being taught by "mediocre" Malay lecturers in local univerities. This will swing the public tide for non-bumiputra Malaysian citizens to support and study in private education sector.
Stratagem 6 Make a feint to the east while attacking in the west
This stratagem is very similar to stratagem no.1 and no.8.Pretend to invest in Malaysia's IT industry and at the same time, attack, pillage and plunder Malaysia's education sector by selling ICT,business knowledge to them.
Stratagem 7 Create something out of nothing
Who doesn't want Malaysia government's billions of ringgit in education sponsorship? By creating useless,obsolete knowledge or subjects to be "sold" and taught to these sponsored Malay students when they are in UK universities,British goverment stands to rake in huge profits. Just create ICT knowledge for them and teach them application,protocols,networking,telecommunication
,etc or subjects with no or little academic values. Designate British technicians,janitors, music teachers,school teachers,clerks,etc to become "fake professors" to become PhD/Master academic supervisors or university lecturers to teach these foreign students. Upgrade polytechnics into universities to achieve this mean and divert foreign students to study at these "fake universities".
Stratagem 8 Advance to Chenchang by a hidden path
This is almost similar to stratagem no.1 .Pin down Malaysia Government into grand infrastructure projects and attack, pillage, loot ,plunder them on education sector through the "hidden path": twinning programs,A-level programs,3+0 program,online degree program,etc..
Stratagem 9 Watch the fire burning across the river
Just watch from afar,smile and glee as Malaysia government is thrown into chaos and confusion. One can see that they are introducing LAN, graduate retraining scheme,etc...Human Resource Minister outmanuevered and outfoxed!!.
Observe carefully and prepare to send in "mediocre/fake" academicians as expatriates to setup Malaysia-French university and Malaysia-Japan university or better still.. private foreign universities like Monash,Nottingham,Curtin,etc...Thanks a lot to Najib,Rithaudeen,etc..(all of them are Malay sponsored students)
Strategem 10 Conceal a dagger in a smile
Foreign professionals,consultants,bankers,CEOs,industriali
sts,investors,academicians like IAP members,politicians,goverment leaders shall all wear a smile when dealing with Mahathir,Rafidah,Najib,Badawi and many other Ministers.They all will tell the same story about how important Information and Comunication Technology is and how this industry is going to be the next engine of growth to the world.Presto!!MSC is conceived and government propanganda machine is swing into action "Cinta IT,Suka IT" Belajar IT!!!!"
Pang Tong "adviced" Cao Cao into chaining all his warships so that his soldiers will not go seasick. Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai liberated fire to burn all Cao Cao's ships and soldiers. IAP members are like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Huang Gai is "foreign investors,CEOs,etc" because he crossed the river.
Stratagem 11 Sacrifice the plum for the peach
In this stratagem,certain adjustment,restructuring and revamping of British education system needed to make it poise for full assault on Malaysia's education system Some sacrifices and inconveniences to their British citizens by allowing huge influx number of foreign students to study in "fake universities"
A-level examinations can be "diluted" to make it easier for foreign students to pass and obtain good grades so that these foreign students shall be lure to go to U.K for further study.Huge profits are to be made by selling "useless" degree to them.
Stratagem 12 Lead away a goat in passing
Seize every advantage in Malaysia's weak tertiary education system. Malaysia Government's negligince and ignorance of meritocracy must be fully exploited with the presence of private colleges and foreign universities. Think of those foreign universities as foreign armies on Malaysia soil.In past history, they are analogy to those foreign trading posts set-up on seaports forced to open by foreign aggression on China and Japan.
Their presence is to ensure profits to be made and Malaysia the "education prostitute" in the world. Foreign universities are like "pimps".The clients will be foreign students that come to Malaysia soil, to feed on Malaysia's resources, use Malaysia's public utilities, and of course , they will become the new "immigrant force" to make Malaysia their permanent home and also a major problem for Malaysia police force in the future, should they refuse to go back to their countries. Pimps make more money than the prostitutes,right?
Stratagem 13 Beat the grass to startle the snake
In this stratagem, foreign investors,CEOS,professionals,etc will stir up and generate Malaysia government's interest in ICT industry, saying that if Malaysia government is not fast to seize this opportunity to build MSC, they will invest and build this new industry in Hong Kong or some other Third world nations.This strategem works in similar fashion with stratagem no.26.
Stratagem 14 Raise a corpse from the dead
This stratagem make us of their "agents" .Those sponsored Malay lecturers are to be their CEOs of private universities or as patron to protect their interests (foreign private universities). These Malays, have no idea that their mind have been "weakened" throughout their undergraduate years in UK universities. They are "agents" developed by foreign education system.Another example is Tan sri Dr.Ng Lay Swee, ex-TARC principal can be manipulated to help the US Campbell University to plunder ringgit from Malaysia Chinese community so that her position as principal is secured by her supporters/sponsored TARC lecturers.
Stratagem 15 Lure the tiger out of the mountain
This stratagem is to lure those "fake,weak,mediocre" Malay academicians (governemnt sponsored students) into setting up Mimos,MDC so that more fuel can be added to to the fire to swing Malaysia's general public tide to ICT, the late 20th century "opium",introduced by foreigners. The "opium" to offset Malaysia trade balance with these foreign nations.
Stratagem 16 Let the enemy off in order to snare him
In this stratagem ,the enemy will be all those sponsored Malay/Chinese students send overseas for their tertiary education. There are two ways to deal with these "sponsored students". One is to keep on failing them thus sucking up more money from Malaysia government or simply pass them after teaching them nothing or something "useless",weakening their minds and then award them with their master/phd degrees so that in the distant future they can be lure out and be "ensnared "to work for foreign interests or be made to infiltrate Malaysia's important decision-making body.
Strategem 17 Cast a brick to attract a gem
To prop up these foreign education enterprises, you need lecturers or minions or "agents" to support them. What a better way to recruit these minions/supporters/agents/lecturers by offering scholarship laced with bonding conditions to young Malaysian students school leavers.Those bright Malay students will be baited after their SPM by joining and signing up with MARA,Petronas,Telekom,etc. scholarship and be sent to UK for their "development".So are those top Malaysian Chinese SPM/STPM students under TARC scholarship scheme. One bonded to become Malaysia's public universities "fake academicians", to destroy the meritocracy path,to replace genuine academicians,to poison and weaken future local graduates' minds. Another bonded to become Malaysia's private colleges/universities "fake academicians" to support foreign education programs based in Malaysia,directly providing aid to plunder Malaysia's wealth.
So much for Malaysia/Mahathir government's NEP...
Stratagem 18 To catch rebels, nab their leader first
This stratagem works together with stratagem 17. Future leaders come from a pool of educated people.The most educated person normally are the brightest pupils.By offering scholarships/bonding, foreigners can catch and "control" these future-would be leaders. One day, they may even be elected members of Parliament as the young generations will replace the old generations and the infiltration will slowly make Malaysia's Parliament to be "controlled" by foreigners.How many UMNO Youth leaders are Malay sponsored students, one may ask..??
Stratagem 19 Take away the fire under the cauldron
This stratagem works together with stratagem no.3. Find the weakest spot in Malaysia's NEP. Initiate the collapse by applying stratagem no.3. By removing,replacing and disposing those genuine non-bumpiputra Malaysian academicians, Malaysia government has no capable advisors who are able to see through the foreigners' dark schemes. Mahathir has to rely upon his Malay team of "fake" advisors( all of them are sponsored students) thus be easily ensnared into a blunder.
Stratagem 20 Fish in troubled waters
This stratagem is very similar to stratagem no. 5 . When Malaysia goverment found itself losing money each year, its economic momentum halted, unemployment among young graduates is rising, exploit this weakened position by setting up more private foreign universities or expand more foreign collaborations with private colleges. Win over genuine Malaysian non-bumiputra academicians who are "disposed of" to their side and have them employed to work for foreign cause.
Stratagem 21 The Cicada sheds its skin
Pretend to make a public display of coming to Malaysia to invest in MSC and hold that false posture so that Malaysia goverment will argue their case that the MSC is a success. But in reality little jobs or no high quality jobs are created for Malaysians in these so called R&D departments inside the foreign multinational companies.
Stratagem 22 Bolt the door to catch the thief
This stratagem is used to entrap non-bumiputra Malaysian students to enroll for their foreign education programs. By making Form 6's classes "destroyed" or in "shamble conditions" due to diverging of goverment funding to those sponsorship of Malay students ,these students will find themselves "trapped" in low quality foreign degree programs unable to return to the traditional Form 6's path.
Stratagem 23 Befriend a distant state while attacking a neighbour
In this case, the best state will be Singapore ,who one day in distant future, will be swamped with foreign population.
Stratagem 25 Replace the beams and pillars with rotten timber.
This stratagem worked in harmony with stratagem no.3 and 19.
Stratagem 26 Point at the mulberry only to curse the locust.
In this stratagem, strong developed nations can conspire together to sound a warning to a fast developing nation like Malaysia to abide and cater to their needs for this ICT industry.A clear case of the powerful to rule over the weak.This stratagem is similar to stratagem no.13.
Stratagem 27 Feigning foolishness
This stratagem applys best to foreign academicians and professionals,investors and executives. A genuine British academicians as academic supervisor shall feign foolishness to deceive a Malay sponsored studentso that the Malay student has no ideas whether he is on the right track or not. He feigned foolishness to lead the Malay students into some wild-goose chase research directions,wasting time and energy and then surprisingly signed to pass the Malay student's thesis after conspiring with his co-conspirators, another British academicians as external examiners. Foreign expats working in MSC can be instructed to feign foolishness so that Malaysian IT workers can be deceived into thinking that they are important personnel.
Stratagem 28 Remove the ladder after the ascent
This stratagem is very similar to stratagem no.22.Malaysian students will fall into foreigner dug-out pitfalls because of his misjudgement.
Stratagem 29 Put fake blossoms on the tree
This stratagem uses deceptive appearance to convince Malaysian government and students that those private foreign universities really emphasize quality education but in reality ,they already have dabbled and make major changes in subject knowledge they are going to teach.Fake IT advertisement vacancies in MSC can be placed on Malaysian newspaper to create a false sense that IT degrees are in hot demand.
Stratagem 30 Host and guests reversed
This stratagem will take effect,the moment, Malaysia government is force to admit foreign expatriates to come,live and work in Malaysia's MSC and foreign private universities.This new wave of foreign academicians will influence the important decison-making body in Malaysia in the far future.Education colonization has begun in initial phase.
Stratagem 31 Beauty Trap
Singapore uses this stratagem very efficiently as part of their social engineering plan which is to ensure many Malaysian chinese male students studying in Singapore to be "ensnare" with Singaporean wives.ASEAN scholarship is one such scheme.This scheme will make those bright Malaysian male professional scientists,engineers,etc unable to return to Malaysia to contribute to Malaysia's economic.
Stratagem 32 Empty city ploy
This stratagem works best with all those foreign multinational companies that make a false pretense of setting up their headquarters in MSC. They just have to make their office building seems "empty" to fool and confuse Malaysian goverment officials. There are over 900 plus MSC companies with employment of 22000 personnel. That will be an average of 40 plus personnel per company!!Moreover, about 68% of MSC companies are Malaysian-owned companies!!
Stratagem 33 Sow discord in the enemy's camp
Again, use those developed agents "sponsored Malaysian students" now academicians or goverment officials placed high above within the Malaysian government hierachy to work schemes against other loyal Malaysian goverment officials.Office politics is everywhere where there is a working place.
Stratagem 34 Inflict injury on oneselft to win enemy's trust
In this ruse, foreign investors really make some small sum of investment in MSC or Malaysia's ICT industry to win trust from Malaysian government officials but their real ulterior motive is to profit by Malaysia's weak tertiary education system.
Stratagem 35 Interlocking stratagems
This ruse is to entrap Mahathir into making his own blunder by making him to committ personally into MSC/Malaysia's ICT industry.Just like Cao Cao's personal order to have all his warships tied together with planks and chains before the Battle of Red Cliff commence.Remember,foreign investors who arrive on Malaysia soil are vulnerable and outnumbered.
Stratagem 36 Retreat is the best option
The classic example for multinational companies to cut their losses,retrench all Malaysian workers,closes the company or factory and move elsewhere....
Mahathir! oh!!Mahathir !!you sure have a lots lots of explaining to do to Malaysian peasant class(farmers,fishermens,rubeer tappers,palm oil workers,etc...)
I give you an "A" on infrastructure development but a "D" on human resource development!!!
You are just a leader who don't know how to treat good people right....

A global education at UEL
BY JAMIE KHOO
BRITISH education is often considered traditional and
even old-fashioned but not at the University of East
London (UEL). Set in an up-and-coming area of the
Docklands, UEL is breaking new ground through its
innovative approach to teaching and the introduction
of courses which deal directly with the creative
industry.
As a new university, UEL finds itself having to
compete against Cambridge, Oxford and the other London
colleges which have established themselves well in
both teaching and research. However, as a recent
Guardian newspaper report indicated, new universities
are on the rise both in overall rankings as well as in
specific subject league tables.
UEL has climbed steadily up the unofficial university
league tables put out by several British newspapers.
In the Guardian's 2004 university guide for example,
UEL was placed 39th overall.
The university prides itself on the strength of its
teaching and the value that is added to its students.
Explains its head of special projects South East Asia,
Prof Jim Graham: ?We are not an elitist institution ?
we take students from every level of society and we
add value to them. So while they might not be strong
students to start off with, we help them to develop
during their time with us.?
CREATIVE MIX: The innovative archtectural design and
varied cultural mix makes UEL's Docklands campus a
vibrant place to study.
As such, UEL has often received top marks for
inclusiveness and its social policy on equitability.
Prof Graham points out that inclusiveness at UEL also
means that the university embraces cultures and
ethnicities from all over the world.
?We have 15,000 students, 3,000 of whom are
international; 60% of our students are not English so
we have a very rich multi-cultural, multi-lingual,
multi-faith environment. You walk around corridors and
sit in canteens and you'll hear all languages
including Malay and Mandarin.?
London itself has a very high ratio of immigration ?
people from all over Asia, Europe, Africa and the
Caribbean continuously flock to the UK capital to make
their fortunes.
?Generations of immigrants have come in through the
docks and found success and we want to help them
continue that. The legacy of our polytechnic past is
that we are very much a part of the community and
industry,? says Prof Graham.
?Our view of education is also that it should be
personal and transformative, and it should ask the
question: 'How do you make real personal change or
global change?'?
Having attracted such a large number of students from
all over the world, the university is now making an
effort to raise its profile here. For example, UEL now
has a South-East Asia regional office based in Kuala
Lumpur which helps all students with their application
and preparation for going over to London.
Prof Jim Graham
UEL also has 25 partnerships with institutions around
Malaysia including Help Institute, Stamford College,
University College Sedaya International and Universiti
Teknologi Mara. It is also a contributor to the Star
Education Fund 2004.
?We concentrate on both the local as well as the
global at UEL. We're really trying to globalise our
students' understanding by providing a vibrant
international environment,? says Prof Graham.
?The idea of staying in one place for your education
is over. In South-East Asia, for example, you see
Vietnamese students coming to Malaysia for college
before going on to university with us in London. And
once you're there, you literally meet the rest of the
world at UEL.
?At the end of the day, this sort of international
cultural exposure is also an employability asset - the
ability to speak more than one language for example,
the people whom you meet, where you've been, how
you're interacting with other people.?
The lively ethos of the university is also carried
through to its portfolio of courses. UEL boasts an
impressive range of degrees in the creative industry
which prepare students directly for the working world.
The courses themselves are designed to move with the
times. For instance, there are no degrees for the
traditional sectors of engineering such as chemical or
mechanical engineering; instead they have electrical &
electronic or Internet engineering. ?We virtually have
no machinery left because we've moved on to a new age
of technology.?
And because the student population is so varied, with
graduates going back to their home countries across
the world, the curriculum for UEL courses is also very
international.
?Yes, the education at UEL still carries a British
style of teaching, but the content equips them well so
they can work anywhere in the world,? explains Prof
Graham. ?With courses in international marketing and
global media, for example, we ensure there are
international elements in our curriculum.?
UEL is situated in one of the most exciting cities in
the world. Though the cost of living can be very high,
Prof Graham reckons that it shouldn't be a factor to
deter students: ?Yes, it is more expensive here. All
right, you could choose to go to a little town outside
London and save ?1,000. You'd probably still have a
nice time but you won't have the British Museum, the
free art galleries, the free shows on South Bank, the
free entertainment, the music...
?Living in London is not like being in a typical
English city. It is the crossroads of the world!?

Observe carefully and prepare to send in "mediocre/fake" academicians as expatriates to setup Malaysia-French university and Malaysia-Japan university or better still.. private foreign universities like Monash,Nottingham,Curtin,etc...Thanks a lot to Najib,Rithaudeen,etc..(all of them are Malay sponsored students)
Strategem 10 Conceal a dagger in a smile
Foreign professionals,consultants,bankers,CEOs,industriali
sts,investors,academicians like IAP members,politicians,goverment leaders shall all wear a smile when dealing with Mahathir,Rafidah,Najib,Badawi and many other Ministers.They all will tell the same story about how important Information and Comunication Technology is and how this industry is going to be the next engine of growth to the world.Presto!!MSC is conceived and government propanganda machine is swing into action "Cinta IT,Suka IT" Belajar IT!!!!"
Pang Tong "adviced" Cao Cao into chaining all his warships so that his soldiers will not go seasick. Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai liberated fire to burn all Cao Cao's ships and soldiers. IAP members are like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Huang Gai is "foreign investors,CEOs,etc" because he crossed the river.
Stratagem 11 Sacrifice the plum for the peach
In this stratagem,certain adjustment,restructuring and revamping of British education system needed to make it poise for full assault on Malaysia's education system Some sacrifices and inconveniences to their British citizens by allowing huge influx number of foreign students to study in "fake universities"
A-level examinations can be "diluted" to make it easier for foreign students to pass and obtain good grades so that these foreign students shall be lure to go to U.K for further study.Huge profits are to be made by selling "useless" degree to them.
Stratagem 12 Lead away a goat in passing
Seize every advantage in Malaysia's weak tertiary education system. Malaysia Government's negligince and ignorance of meritocracy must be fully exploited with the presence of private colleges and foreign universities. Think of those foreign universities as foreign armies on Malaysia soil.In past history, they are analogy to those foreign trading posts set-up on seaports forced to open by foreign aggression on China and Japan.
Their presence is to ensure profits to be made and Malaysia the "education prostitute" in the world. Foreign universities are like "pimps".The clients will be foreign students that come to Malaysia soil, to feed on Malaysia's resources, use Malaysia's public utilities, and of course , they will become the new "immigrant force" to make Malaysia their permanent home and also a major problem for Malaysia police force in the future, should they refuse to go back to their countries. Pimps make more money than the prostitutes,right?
Stratagem 13 Beat the grass to startle the snake
In this stratagem, foreign investors,CEOS,professionals,etc will stir up and generate Malaysia government's interest in ICT industry, saying that if Malaysia government is not fast to seize this opportunity to build MSC, they will invest and build this new industry in Hong Kong or some other Third world nations.This strategem works in similar fashion with stratagem no.26.
Stratagem 14 Raise a corpse from the dead
This stratagem make us of their "agents" .Those sponsored Malay lecturers are to be their CEOs of private universities or as patron to protect their interests (foreign private universities). These Malays, have no idea that their mind have been "weakened" throughout their undergraduate years in UK universities. They are "agents" developed by foreign education system.Another example is Tan sri Dr.Ng Lay Swee, ex-TARC principal can be manipulated to help the US Campbell University to plunder ringgit from Malaysia Chinese community so that her position as principal is secured by her supporters/sponsored TARC lecturers.
Stratagem 15 Lure the tiger out of the mountain
This stratagem is to lure those "fake,weak,mediocre" Malay academicians (governemnt sponsored students) into setting up Mimos,MDC so that more fuel can be added to to the fire to swing Malaysia's general public tide to ICT, the late 20th century "opium",introduced by foreigners. The "opium" to offset Malaysia trade balance with these foreign nations.
Stratagem 16 Let the enemy off in order to snare him
In this stratagem ,the enemy will be all those sponsored Malay/Chinese students send overseas for their tertiary education. There are two ways to deal with these "sponsored students". One is to keep on failing them thus sucking up more money from Malaysia government or simply pass them after teaching them nothing or something "useless",weakening their minds and then award them with their master/phd degrees so that in the distant future they can be lure out and be "ensnared "to work for foreign interests or be made to infiltrate Malaysia's important decision-making body.
Strategem 17 Cast a brick to attract a gem
To prop up these foreign education enterprises, you need lecturers or minions or "agents" to support them. What a better way to recruit these minions/supporters/agents/lecturers by offering scholarship laced with bonding conditions to young Malaysian students school leavers.Those bright Malay students will be baited after their SPM by joining and signing up with MARA,Petronas,Telekom,etc. scholarship and be sent to UK for their "development".So are those top Malaysian Chinese SPM/STPM students under TARC scholarship scheme. One bonded to become Malaysia's public universities "fake academicians", to destroy the meritocracy path,to replace genuine academicians,to poison and weaken future local graduates' minds. Another bonded to become Malaysia's private colleges/universities "fake academicians" to support foreign education programs based in Malaysia,directly providing aid to plunder Malaysia's wealth.
So much for Malaysia/Mahathir government's NEP...
Stratagem 18 To catch rebels, nab their leader first
This stratagem works together with stratagem 17. Future leaders come from a pool of educated people.The most educated person normally are the brightest pupils.By offering scholarships/bonding, foreigners can catch and "control" these future-would be leaders. One day, they may even be elected members of Parliament as the young generations will replace the old generations and the infiltration will slowly make Malaysia's Parliament to be "controlled" by foreigners.How many UMNO Youth leaders are Malay sponsored students, one may ask..??
Stratagem 19 Take away the fire under the cauldron
This stratagem works together with stratagem no.3. Find the weakest spot in Malaysia's NEP. Initiate the collapse by applying stratagem no.3. By removing,replacing and disposing those genuine non-bumpiputra Malaysian academicians, Malaysia government has no capable advisors who are able to see through the foreigners' dark schemes. Mahathir has to rely upon his Malay team of "fake" advisors( all of them are sponsored students) thus be easily ensnared into a blunder.
Stratagem 20 Fish in troubled waters
This stratagem is very similar to stratagem no. 5 . When Malaysia goverment found itself losing money each year, its economic momentum halted, unemployment among young graduates is rising, exploit this weakened position by setting up more private foreign universities or expand more foreign collaborations with private colleges. Win over genuine Malaysian non-bumiputra academicians who are "disposed of" to their side and have them employed to work for foreign cause.
Stratagem 21 The Cicada sheds its skin
Pretend to make a public display of coming to Malaysia to invest in MSC and hold that false posture so that Malaysia goverment will argue their case that the MSC is a success. But in reality little jobs or no high quality jobs are created for Malaysians in these so called R&D departments inside the foreign multinational companies.
Stratagem 22 Bolt the door to catch the thief
This stratagem is used to entrap non-bumiputra Malaysian students to enroll for their foreign education programs. By making Form 6's classes "destroyed" or in "shamble conditions" due to diverging of goverment funding to those sponsorship of Malay students ,these students will find themselves "trapped" in low quality foreign degree programs unable to return to the traditional Form 6's path.
Stratagem 23 Befriend a distant state while attacking a neighbour
In this case, the best state will be Singapore ,who one day in distant future, will be swamped with foreign population.
Stratagem 25 Replace the beams and pillars with rotten timber.
This stratagem worked in harmony with stratagem no.3 and 19.
Stratagem 26 Point at the mulberry only to curse the locust.
In this stratagem, strong developed nations can conspire together to sound a warning to a fast developing nation like Malaysia to abide and cater to their needs for this ICT industry.A clear case of the powerful to rule over the weak.This stratagem is similar to stratagem no.13.
Stratagem 27 Feigning foolishness
This stratagem applys best to foreign academicians and professionals,investors and executives. A genuine British academicians as academic supervisor shall feign foolishness to deceive a Malay sponsored studentso that the Malay student has no ideas whether he is on the right track or not. He feigned foolishness to lead the Malay students into some wild-goose chase research directions,wasting time and energy and then surprisingly signed to pass the Malay student's thesis after conspiring with his co-conspirators, another British academicians as external examiners. Foreign expats working in MSC can be instructed to feign foolishness so that Malaysian IT workers can be deceived into thinking that they are important personnel.
Stratagem 28 Remove the ladder after the ascent
This stratagem is very similar to stratagem no.22.Malaysian students will fall into foreigner dug-out pitfalls because of his misjudgement.
Stratagem 29 Put fake blossoms on the tree
This stratagem uses deceptive appearance to convince Malaysian government and students that those private foreign universities really emphasize quality education but in reality ,they already have dabbled and make major changes in subject knowledge they are going to teach.Fake IT advertisement vacancies in MSC can be placed on Malaysian newspaper to create a false sense that IT degrees are in hot demand.
Stratagem 30 Host and guests reversed
This stratagem will take effect,the moment, Malaysia government is force to admit foreign expatriates to come,live and work in Malaysia's MSC and foreign private universities.This new wave of foreign academicians will influence the important decison-making body in Malaysia in the far future.Education colonization has begun in initial phase.
Stratagem 31 Beauty Trap
Singapore uses this stratagem very efficiently as part of their social engineering plan which is to ensure many Malaysian chinese male students studying in Singapore to be "ensnare" with Singaporean wives.ASEAN scholarship is one such scheme.This scheme will make those bright Malaysian male professional scientists,engineers,etc unable to return to Malaysia to contribute to Malaysia's economic.
Stratagem 32 Empty city ploy
This stratagem works best with all those foreign multinational companies that make a false pretense of setting up their headquarters in MSC. They just have to make their office building seems "empty" to fool and confuse Malaysian goverment officials. There are over 900 plus MSC companies with employment of 22000 personnel. That will be an average of 40 plus personnel per company!!Moreover, about 68% of MSC companies are Malaysian-owned companies!!
Stratagem 33 Sow discord in the enemy's camp
Again, use those developed agents "sponsored Malaysian students" now academicians or goverment officials placed high above within the Malaysian government hierachy to work schemes against other loyal Malaysian goverment officials.Office politics is everywhere where there is a working place.
Stratagem 34 Inflict injury on oneselft to win enemy's trust
In this ruse, foreign investors really make some small sum of investment in MSC or Malaysia's ICT industry to win trust from Malaysian government officials but their real ulterior motive is to profit by Malaysia's weak tertiary education system.
Stratagem 35 Interlocking stratagems
This ruse is to entrap Mahathir into making his own blunder by making him to committ personally into MSC/Malaysia's ICT industry.Just like Cao Cao's personal order to have all his warships tied together with planks and chains before the Battle of Red Cliff commence.Remember,foreign investors who arrive on Malaysia soil are vulnerable and outnumbered.
Stratagem 36 Retreat is the best option
The classic example for multinational companies to cut their losses,retrench all Malaysian workers,closes the company or factory and move elsewhere....
Mahathir! oh!!Mahathir !!you sure have a lots lots of explaining to do to Malaysian peasant class(farmers,fishermens,rubeer tappers,palm oil workers,etc...)
I give you an "A" on infrastructure development but a "D" on human resource development!!!
You are just a leader who don't know how to treat good people right....

A global education at UEL
BY JAMIE KHOO
BRITISH education is often considered traditional and
even old-fashioned but not at the University of East
London (UEL). Set in an up-and-coming area of the
Docklands, UEL is breaking new ground through its
innovative approach to teaching and the introduction
of courses which deal directly with the creative
industry.
As a new university, UEL finds itself having to
compete against Cambridge, Oxford and the other London
colleges which have established themselves well in
both teaching and research. However, as a recent
Guardian newspaper report indicated, new universities
are on the rise both in overall rankings as well as in
specific subject league tables.
UEL has climbed steadily up the unofficial university
league tables put out by several British newspapers.
In the Guardian's 2004 university guide for example,
UEL was placed 39th overall.
The university prides itself on the strength of its
teaching and the value that is added to its students.
Explains its head of special projects South East Asia,
Prof Jim Graham: ?We are not an elitist institution ?
we take students from every level of society and we
add value to them. So while they might not be strong
students to start off with, we help them to develop
during their time with us.?
CREATIVE MIX: The innovative archtectural design and
varied cultural mix makes UEL's Docklands campus a
vibrant place to study.
As such, UEL has often received top marks for
inclusiveness and its social policy on equitability.
Prof Graham points out that inclusiveness at UEL also
means that the university embraces cultures and
ethnicities from all over the world.
?We have 15,000 students, 3,000 of whom are
international; 60% of our students are not English so
we have a very rich multi-cultural, multi-lingual,
multi-faith environment. You walk around corridors and
sit in canteens and you'll hear all languages
including Malay and Mandarin.?
London itself has a very high ratio of immigration ?
people from all over Asia, Europe, Africa and the
Caribbean continuously flock to the UK capital to make
their fortunes.
?Generations of immigrants have come in through the
docks and found success and we want to help them
continue that. The legacy of our polytechnic past is
that we are very much a part of the community and
industry,? says Prof Graham.
?Our view of education is also that it should be
personal and transformative, and it should ask the
question: 'How do you make real personal change or
global change?'?
Having attracted such a large number of students from
all over the world, the university is now making an
effort to raise its profile here. For example, UEL now
has a South-East Asia regional office based in Kuala
Lumpur which helps all students with their application
and preparation for going over to London.
Prof Jim Graham
UEL also has 25 partnerships with institutions around
Malaysia including Help Institute, Stamford College,
University College Sedaya International and Universiti
Teknologi Mara. It is also a contributor to the Star
Education Fund 2004.
?We concentrate on both the local as well as the
global at UEL. We're really trying to globalise our
students' understanding by providing a vibrant
international environment,? says Prof Graham.
?The idea of staying in one place for your education
is over. In South-East Asia, for example, you see
Vietnamese students coming to Malaysia for college
before going on to university with us in London. And
once you're there, you literally meet the rest of the
world at UEL.
?At the end of the day, this sort of international
cultural exposure is also an employability asset - the
ability to speak more than one language for example,
the people whom you meet, where you've been, how
you're interacting with other people.?
The lively ethos of the university is also carried
through to its portfolio of courses. UEL boasts an
impressive range of degrees in the creative industry
which prepare students directly for the working world.
The courses themselves are designed to move with the
times. For instance, there are no degrees for the
traditional sectors of engineering such as chemical or
mechanical engineering; instead they have electrical &
electronic or Internet engineering. ?We virtually have
no machinery left because we've moved on to a new age
of technology.?
And because the student population is so varied, with
graduates going back to their home countries across
the world, the curriculum for UEL courses is also very
international.
?Yes, the education at UEL still carries a British
style of teaching, but the content equips them well so
they can work anywhere in the world,? explains Prof
Graham. ?With courses in international marketing and
global media, for example, we ensure there are
international elements in our curriculum.?
UEL is situated in one of the most exciting cities in
the world. Though the cost of living can be very high,
Prof Graham reckons that it shouldn't be a factor to
deter students: ?Yes, it is more expensive here. All
right, you could choose to go to a little town outside
London and save ?1,000. You'd probably still have a
nice time but you won't have the British Museum, the
free art galleries, the free shows on South Bank, the
free entertainment, the music...
?Living in London is not like being in a typical
English city. It is the crossroads of the world!?
