马华永久党员岑启铭退党宣佈觀後感

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFpN6LOdpqo
马华永久党员岑启铭不應該那麽衝動的退党断绝关系;如果領袖不好就換領袖吧。

現在岑同志選擇退黨意味著它在自怪自己沒盡到本分和責任。

他的退黨其實是於事無補的,它無形中也在替那些旨在黨内拿好處不做事的部長們提供更大的方便 - 就是不需再面對他的繼續投訴刁難的轟炸了。

我們大家都為馬華在一些事務上的‘無能’而無奈,但是大家也知道光是說問題不全在馬華及華社,也是站不住腳的。

我的看法是我們華社基本上有3個問題:有最強的華人爲主的反對黨的挑戰制衡,作爲第二大族群的政治現實,面對永遠懼怕華人操大權的一些極端馬來族群。

不管是誰最終在朝, 問題相信還是大同小異,那就是,佔絕大多數的馬
來西亞同胞的是否能接受華社的誠意而加以成全華社的意願。

Parking fees or no parking fees at hospital car parks?


The car parking at the hospital's parking lots should be chargeable with due consideration on fairness and reality.

The health authority (or the government) should work out an appropriate policy on this matter via the help of Parking Management experts from DBKK/JKR/NGOs.

One of the ways to relieve the pressure of car parking requirement is to work closely with the public transporter to serve the visitors in the hospital by minimising their need to bring their vehicles along.

All the authority need is determination to solve the problem. The public is eagerly waiting for their actions.

沙巴的衛生事務一直以來都是沙巴人的痛和國家的恥辱

州政府不能再任由這樣的事情繼續的發生。而掌管州衛生事務的官員和人民代議士更不可再‘沉默是金’和‘姑息養奸’了。沙巴的衛生事務一直以來都是沙巴人的痛和國家的恥辱。

斗湖小童誤診死亡聽證會仍然在進行中,因此大家都不該那麽早妄下定論,以免衍生不必要的不專業干疣。先時誰是誰非其實都不重要,重要的是大家要接受接下來調查的結果,有錯就認錯趕快改,做出適當的善後工作及快馬加鞭的迎頭趕上我國應有的醫療水平,目前的情況于人一種不安的印象,那就是:‘醫護人才短缺兼訓練不足,同樣或類似誤診喪命事件層出不窮,而且毫無改進的一再發生,情況的確令人生厭。

政府醫院的醫生應該是有權威性的一群專業人士,是人民所能完全依賴和信賴的救星,因此他們的公信力和他們的能力表現也就是人民爲什麽都對他們特別敬重的原因。如果因爲頻頻的不滿和投訴使到他們的能力和公信力受到質疑,就不是國家與人民的好事了。

拿督廖年初二宣佈的沙巴衛生40億的發展計劃 - 州政府及關心沙巴衛生事務的政治工作者必須隨時警惕各項事物的發展,萬勿鬆懈失職。州政府和其所謂人的‘州衛生事務負責人’不需要等到年尾才核查進展進度,應該是每一季度(3個月),查詢一下,並向人民作出例常彙報,那樣才算稱職。

醫院巡委會的委員是衛生部長委任的,目前的受委委員是100%執政政黨的黨員 (囯陣的黨員),因此其中立性是絕對不會或很難有的,故在委任巡委會委員時應該盡量委任那些和執政集團無利益關係的人士為上。

這樣層出不窮的‘無能’個案,怎不叫人擔憂呢?當局真的要嚴正認真看待這樣類似的個案了。訓練醫生的大學該是當局第一個要徹查的對象吧?

我知道有很多人非常不滿我講‘坏’我們的醫生,認爲有貶低他們的專業形象,甚至有人質疑我的誠意,其實我對醫生一般性是非常的敬重,都認爲他們都有‘醫者父母心’可是如果情況是不對的話,難道是要‘睜著眼睛説瞎話’‘指鹿爲馬’嗎?

講到1Care,有人敢說有了它,就能解決政府支付龐大醫療費用的困境嗎?就能交出人民夢寐以求的醫療水準嗎?管理現在的醫院就已經是問題多多了,再來個保險管理 (或再來個外包協議),執行起來可以勝任嗎?到時又將會出現醫生种族化,多種的壟斷等等的出現。因此,1Care是好獻議但未必完全適合我國的現有體系。我國必須順序漸進的去改革現有的體系而不是看到國外人家怎麽做就照抄不誤。

1Care 又將會對沙巴的子民造成什麽樣的衝擊呢?

通常看了醫生之後要服藥;1Care之下,人民要自己掏腰包了,我們不禁要問,是誰已經控制了藥物的生産和發散網絡機制呢?是誰已經準備接受將會私營化的政府醫院呢?那些醫生將會成爲指定醫院的醫生呢?指定醫生的聘請或分配還會依照‘過時’的種族固打分配制嗎?沒錢的人民該如何處置呢?那些人將會被要求付每個月的10%收入呢?這個醫療體系將會遭到前所未有的衝擊,對整個社會的影響是不可忽視,因此政府不應該貿然草率和輕舉妄動的去實行這個計劃。就連首創這種計劃的先進囯如英國等都搞得不如理想,甚至只差沒有公開承認失敗而已。

1Care計劃的推行將更加證明政府已經在福利醫療的時日將會終結。如果政府還有雄厚的錢活資金的話,何須如此對待人民呢?有哪一個政府是不想繼續得讓其人民快樂無憂生活上的負擔呢?更何況是全免費的醫療保健方面呢?那些將被逼付10% 的能力稍好的公民又將如何去填補本來還可以儲蓄或作爲孩子教育用途的錢呢?政府應該要三思而後行啊!

The effort to promote Malayu language as Lingua Franca in Asean

Malay Can Become Asean's Lingua Francahttp://www.bernama.com/bernama/state_news/news.php?cat=et&id=623263


Indeed, Malay Can Become Asean's Lingua Franca if every ones in the region feel that it's a better, if not best, communication language than some of the established international languages like English, French, German, and even Japanese or Korean was once widely promoted. However, the process of transition will take time, and through stages of evolution.

It'd be disappointing attempt if the ambition is built from pure racialism, and so-called regionalism, as great culture usually did not emerge in one day.

While the language users, academicians, and promoters are still hard at work to produce Malayu words that trying to match up with the pace of technology advancement, and the rapidly changing world, we must admit that our language is still very much in state of struggle that we seem are seen chasing others than being followed.

We should be in reality pursuing nationalism, or regionalism, while putting equal effort in internationalism.

These are what I like to see government do in their endeavour to cut their spending positively

Call for government departments, agencies to cut their spending

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/10/25/nation/20111025201132&sec=nation

Yes! They should indeed cut their spending, but not at the expense of causing degradation of basic services, and facilities, to the people, and the overall minimum requirement, or performance, of the government.

They should have Cost-Cutting Committees, from the district level all the way to the Ministry level, in order to come out with policy, and subsequently come up with the management or governance plan. Special considerations should be taken into account on regional, territorial, or some unique areas to achieve the ultimate goals of COST-CUTTING.

The cabinet should temporarily halt all mega projects which are less critical to the needs of the people, and of less strategic to the country.

However, maintenance should be placed at higher priority with emphasis on upgrading the services and in the direction of higher efficiency and productivity.

Meanwhile, more revenues for increasing government coffer should be seriously look into and put to action in the highest priority. Government should encourage more creative and ingenious way to boost revenue and cut costs (for the government departments as well as private sectors and individual) without incurring on its own people.

Whoever can achieve these will be a good government indeed, and shall have the praise and applause from the people even after they are no longer in office.

校园虐童有增无减




华小享有盛名但是相对升高的虐待案件的增加却也为华教蒙上污点。可惜!

What a combination! An Ignorant of the real situation plus naivity in policy formulation & implementation?

The protest is justifiable, and rightly so, as this type of similar situation has been frequently happening, and woes eventually disregarded, and ignored.

Time to wake up for the federal departments, and its agencies, as people are getting more aware of their rights, and as long as the officials are carrying out their works with sensitivity, professionalism, and sincerity; their contributions would surely be appreciated, and respected, by the locals.

The federal must progress with time in terms of competency, and efficiency, too.

他们不想忘本(The Sinos just want to respect their ancestral roots)



他们反对被冠上‘华人土族’,而他们只能接受的称号是:‘华嘉’,‘华杜’,‘华苏’,‘华毛’。。。。
很简单,他们不想忘本。

They prefer to be named as "Sino-Kadazan, Sino-Dusun, Sino-suluk, or Sino-Murut, and so on, but certainly NOT Sino-Native.
Yes, indeed, they all want to respect their ancestral roots.


既然全国医生已经过剩,为什么单独在沙巴还会严重缺少医生呢?
沙巴是不是永远还是个刚医学院毕业医生实习的好地方呢?
为什么沙巴州政府不能插手干预其发展呢?
沙巴是否一如教育部一样,永远都没有那些在沙巴取得经验的医生肯留下长期服务?
这就是沙巴人的困境了吗?

是时候,沙巴人必须自我保重,拿起一部分的责任,监督和向当局做出应当争取的权益,绝对不能任人主理与主宰一切了。
再让其飘荡不管理不干涉的话,沙巴子民惟有自求多福了。

Why shouldn't UEC be recognized by the government of 1Malaysia?



How much longer the confrontation between the Chinese descendants and the authority predominantly Malay-led will have to continue on this issue?

I thought that the launch of 1Malaysia campaign would have washed out all the negative feelings in our nation's unity building, and the recognition of UEC is indeed one of the people's wishes to be urgently fulfilled by the PM Najib.

I hope 1Malaysia is not truly an empty slogan.

More diversity of education is good for any country including Malaysia, why on earth the authority put up obstacles to block it? It's not going to cause any harm to the existing and on-going education's policy, aims, and aspirations of the country; then why is it not agreeable to the authority?

The world will no doubt still spin without Chinese education, but it will only becoming a national handicap when dealing with the Chinese in Malaysia or abroad.

If the graduates from these Chinese independent schools have already met the government's education standards, then why are they not recognised by the government while our neighbour, Singapore grabs them without hesitation, why?

I hate to say it's because of racism.

Performance Now? Time for autonomy in education?


The urgent cries for help likes the one above shown is common. People are suffering every days, and things are not rectified. The follow-up of issues or problems is usually very poor that it can drag on unresolved for ages, and eventually forgotten. People are urged to be patience with the slowness and no actions of the authority. But, just for how long?

Sabah is a big state, and should therefore logically be given more authority in resolving its local problems in a more efficient and effective manner. It's high time to let go of the power from central and let Sabahan, or East Malaysian, to relieve the burden currently shoulder by the central government. Autonomy in education for Sabah is the natural development for Malaysia which is now 48 years old.

On top of the above complaints, there are other pressing issues such as lacking experience teacher, lack of maintenance to buildings and facilities, high text books and exercise books expenses, poverty, too much works and subjects for the children, low quality of teaching (or teachers) and standard, education gap level between urban and rural students, child abuse in school, bullying and discipline problems........and many many more.....that also includes tertiary education like universities, higher learning institutions etc..

Some Suggestions On Education Revamps






This is definitely a positive development from the authority taking charge of education, and as usual, who will get it done? what will it be done? when will it be done? how will it be done? 

No matter what happens to politic, education shouldn't mix with politic. Education is crucial to the national development, and therefore is of national interest, or future security. It's not just the interest of a particular group, or some majority groups; it's simply a matter of people's interest.

The initiative of change should start from the recruitment of teachers (strictly based on merit, and not on quota); they must be of high quality to start with. If necessary, get some good teachers from developed nations to teach in the country so that some local teachers can learn from these foreigners too.

Secondly, take out those less competent teachers from teaching posts, and transferred them elsewhere.

Setup an independent Parent-Teacher association in each school to provide much needed feedbacks from public. The existing PTA is an internal unit of the school, and definitely not effective in improving the standard of school. (note: it renders more as rubber stamp).

A good structure with more interaction with the Board of Director & PTA in each school on the direction of school teaching methods and environment, will be the answer.

Lets' concentrate on producing good quality and regular supply of teachers, and subsequently graduates from primary and secondary schools, and then universities. Particular attention should be on the emphasis on matured teaching staffs where students are typically looking up for leadership and as a model of learning.

With quality human resources, only then our nation is ready for the challenge from the world in terms of national developments, modern businesses, agriculture, and foreign investments etc.....
Without good quality human work force, we will be continuing to rely on labour intensive industries, and subsequently, our foreign neighbours.

Let's hope that this is going to be put into action very soon as time is running out, and it could be too dearly to pay by keep hesitating on the reformation/transformation.

The delay in construction of Nabalu school, who's right, Masidi or Puad?


5.July.2011 The Borneo Post
Deputy Minister of Education is obviously not happy with Masid's open attack on him for not keeping promises to the local people in Nabalu, near Ranau, Sabah. Masidi sadi Puad is a liar according to the original news report.

 


 6.July.2011 The Borneo Post.
This is what Masidi said in response to Puad's public defense on his delay in commencement of school building construction in Nabalu, near Ranau.

6.July.2011  The Borneo Post
The Tuaran MP, Datuk Bumburing of UPKO, has come out to defend the innocence of Puad, the Deputy Minister of Education; so, the six-million dollars question is: who's the liar? or what went wrong? The issue is: why was the project delayed?


There is a saying that the delay was largely due to in-fighting of the various parties of politicians in the BN. The problem would have not been appeared if the project was not awarded through direct negotiation manner.

It looks like the word 'Transformation' has so far been disappointing that is probably meant to blur the mind of the masses, and is used as a panacea to cure all the economic illness that people suffer.

沙巴亚庇的中华牌楼

正在施工的福州公会牌楼
唐人街(JalanGaya)

德教会紫瑞阁牌楼

德教会紫瑞阁牌楼(外观)

普陀寺牌楼

海南会馆的独立纪念碑
继1963年亚庇海南公会在独立日前在现今的地址建了一个庄严肃穆亚的拱门(牌楼)之后,普陀寺牌楼,紧接着应该是坐落在斗亚兰路一英里的德教会紫瑞阁大牌楼。然后是市中心嘉雅街路口由市政府建的‘唐人街‘牌楼了。除了这些地标外,亚庇路阳区华人众多的卫星市郊最近和不久的将来,将增添另一个宏伟壮观,一个具有浓厚中华文化色彩,的福州公会大牌楼。除了藉此,突出及发扬中华文化特色外,亦为亚庇,甚或沙巴,旅游增添另一美丽景点。或许沙巴的每一个城镇都应该建有如此具有浓厚中华文化色彩的牌楼来丰富我们沙巴的文化和旅游资产。

Why must thing will only move with higher-up intervention?



If only through the intervention of the wife of Prime Minister that a commonly known poverty case can be swiftly settled, I doubt very much on the capability, reliability, and competency of our civil service.

The head of the civil service must be made to be responsible for a poor performance like this.

I hope that this incident is only an isolated case which many said otherwise. If PM Najib really wanted to save the nation and BN from being disliked by its own people, he must put his feet down on the mismanagement or mis-administration on the part of the civil service.

Sometimes it may be unfair to single out the civil service for poor performance of the government, but for being a very important part of the government, they must upheld their charter and responsibility whom the people entrusted to administrate and govern.

Maybe the civil servants and the elected YBs should be continuously undergoing some sort of patriotic camp to get their mindset and spirit in the right track. They should know that their performance matters in our nation survival in the world, and they must not be complacent and become unrealistic.

But, who dares to work on them as we all know that they are so powerful now? They can only be made to be reasonable powerful by the party who made them extremely powerful. They should be powerful in their good administration and not powerful in slowing down the aspiration of the people.

Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants

Malaysia Considers Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants


It only solves part of the whole problem.

From indecisiveness to now welcoming the foreign workers, the government move to legalize the foreigners is laudable but what about the social and security aspects which we are known to be very weak as compared to the developed countries, just take for example in Sabah, the presence of large numbers of illegal immigrants with its social and cultural impacts on our society, notably on medical services and policing; has all the strong basis for our doubts and concerns.

With or without legalization, the capability and competency of our authority, and our capacity, to take on 4 millions of foreigners in a total population of 28 millions, is really no easy task, and I really have doubts that we could handle it without problems.

As if our problems not enough, our human resources under the ever controversial education system has not been producing the right types of workers especially on their competency in work; how are we going to depend on these new generation of workers to sustain the economy, or improve the economy?

The various transformations will not work if we don't have the good quality and competent human resources, and that we simply don't have them in the country, they have all gone for greener pastures elsewhere, and it's not easy to attract them back once migrated.

Despite all that, do we have a better choice? Would higher pay will salvage the situation?

I think We are simply stuck in a dilemma, and the problem is largely of our governance which I think will be the only solution to overcome all the various issues arising from the efforts to resolve the country's woes.

My views and feelings on mobile radio waves that claims causing brain cancer

High mobile use can cause brain cancer: WHO

Kounteya Sinha, TNN, Jun 2, 2011, 02.43am ISThttp://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-02/india/29612668_1_kurt-straif-iarc-cellphone-radiation

This is an increasingly concern agenda from most people nowadays, and yet, our ministry of Science Technology and innovation has not been addressing this fear amicably.

The erection of lots of transmitting towers on top of most rooftops for example has been suspicious for its effects on human living or working near offices around the towers.

What about the Wi-Fi wireless radio signals in the office as well as houses? What about the wiMax radio signal waves? What about the Infra red signal and the bluetooth radio waves?

The cell phone radio waves are everywhere today, we seem to have completely submerged under the sea of radio bombardment, and therefore rightly said that we have been cooking by them frequently, and if excessively exposed, may have been a key causes of diseases like brain cancer.

Our universities should lead in this study of radiation to the people, and should have done research on this topic in order to advise the public of their findings to minimise the direct effects on the people living with the electromagnetic wave environment.

Why are we always have to passively wait for other countries to do the research and investigation while we have most of the academicians doing hardly anything significance to the society and in their field of study? Who knows that by going for the serious effort in studying on this topic, maybe Malaysian could be the one in the world to come out with some innovations on overcoming the impact of the pollution caused by electromagnetic radiation?
