National Philosophy of Education

Education in Malaysia is an on-going effort towards developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonious based on a firm belief in and devotion to God. Such an effort is designed to produce Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards and who are responsible and capable of achieving a high level of personal well being as well as being able to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, society and the nation at large.

The best teacher

The very primitive methods of learning is learning from nature. My teacher once said "Nature is the best teacher". He said nature provides us very wide classroom, various topics and subjects as well as many things await to be explored. For me nature also provide us with unexplained mystery as well. For example why apes which is nearest species to human can not learn human language?... whatever the answer is, I agree with what my teacher suggested and I would like to add that nature always educates us explicitly as well as implicitly.

Watch this video that tells us we are part of nature. Watch.

How they did that?


This photo was taken few weeks ago by my friend, a friend from the disciplinary committee. He sent me this photo via his ‘bluetoothed’ device (and very proud of it!). That is not the main idea of this post. The important idea is a question, a big question mark. How can this kind of vandalism happen in present day education system? Is this a kind of showing off the sprit of 'Malaysia Boleh'? or an indication of the type of 'Modal Insan' that we are producing? Even though I have no answer to it yet I believe the answer/s should not be in ‘finger-pointing’ point of view. I am still looking for the answer.

Get away for courses


End of October and early weeks of November required me to travel. It was not for leisure but for courses that gave me few knowledge on new MOE's programmes and some administrative inputs. However, it was time for me to have my leisure in the end of the course. The food, the room, the place even though were not 5 stars, they gave me time to get some ideas and plans. Hmm, I call this Cuti-cuti Kursus Malaysia.
