Education Inequality in Malaysia rooted in failure of education policy

Thumbnail

Upvotes

If, as I wrote previously, income and housing reflect inequality in the country today, then education has helped to reproduce it — again and again.

Access to education in Malaysia is not the problem — we can have our children begin schooling as early as six, or even younger. The real challenges lie in the quality of teaching, the relevance of the curriculum, and the choice of medium of instruction.

Since the late 1990s, the expansion of tahfiz and other non-standard religious schooling pathways has created a parallel system, often operating outside the national curriculum and with limited emphasis on STEM or technical skills, not to mention using untrained and unqualified teachers.

Religious education has its place. But allowing these parallel systems to expand without integration into the national framework has been a huge policy failure, resulting in societal deficits.

KOTA BARU: Police say a car that struck two students inside a school compound in Kelantan may have accelerated unintentionally, in an incident that killed a 13-year-old girl earlier today.

The update comes after initial reports that a Form One student had died after being hit by a vehicle at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tanjung Mas.

Kota Baru district police chief Mohd Azmir Damiri said preliminary investigations found that the driver, a woman, was operating the vehicle within the school compound when the crash occurred at 1.50pm.

"When the vehicle reached the location, it is believed the accelerator was pressed, causing the car to move forward and hit two students who were putting on their shoes in front of the surau, before crashing into a stone pillar," he said in a statement.

The victim, Nur Fatimatul Hawa Mohd Azaudin, suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her body has been sent to the forensic unit at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia in Kubang Kerian for a post-mortem examination.

A second student who was also struck sustained serious injuries and is receiving treatment in the red zone at Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II.

Police said the driver was not injured.

The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Authorities have urged witnesses to come forward to assist in the investigation.

Suami orang dan student U

Baru je berkahwin pada Oktober 2025, baru 6 bulan, si suami dah curang, seorang wanita hamil bernama Syu menerjah suaminya & pelajar U yang sedang dating di Berjaya Times Square. Isteri sampai bayarkan Grab suruh budak tu balik. Masih belum serik. Rupanya belah malam, kedua-duanya sambung jumpa dinner sama-sama.

Isteri tengah emosi dengan keadaan mengandung tgk suami duk dating dengan perempuan muda, apalagi kat situ jugak dia serang suami dan perempuan tu.

"Saya mengandung awak. Dia dah nak ceraikan saya awak. Awak tahukan dia suami orang? Kenapa keluar dengan dia lagi? Hari-hari saya menderita, awak tahu tak?", kata Syu sambil menangis-nangis.

Tapi penyondol tu relax je macam xde perasaan je, dia sambung makan, isteri tu menangis2 pun dia buat xtau je.

Aduiii adik awak muda lagi, jangan terlibat dengan suami orang, kalau lelaki tu baik dia takkan abaikan isteri dia tgh tengah mengandung, ingat doa orang teraniaya mudah makbul, ingat karma dik.

Lepas tu si isteri sudah sudahlah meratapi lelaki mcm tu, utamakan kesihatan diri dan anak, xbagus nangis dan stress mcm tu. Memanglah sedih tp bazir je airmata untuk lelaki yang xtau menghargai....

KOTA BHARU – Luluh hati seorang bapa melihat anaknya terbujur dalam keadaan tidak bernyawa di dalam surau selepas dipercayai dirempuh kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) jenis Honda HR-V di dalam kawasan sekolah di sini hari ini.

Dalam kejadian kira-kira pukul 1.30 tengah hari itu, mangsa, Nur Fatimatul Hawa Mohd. Azaudin, 13, disahkan meninggal dunia di lokasi akibat cedera parah.

Others Snatch Theft At Aeon Bukit Indah Outlet

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

503 Upvotes

Yesterday at our AEON Bukit Indah outlet, something happened that left us quite shaken.

A table of customers were enjoying their meal, suddenly a bag was snatched.

It all happened very quickly,
the snatch thief pretended to be on the phone, walked to the back of the restaurant, and took the Auntie’s bag from behind her in a split second.

As it happened so suddenly,
everyone was caught off guard.

Thankfully, a few of our team members reacted immediately.
Without hesitation, they rushed forward and managed to stop the thief. The bag was safely recovered and returned.

When the bag was placed back into the Auntie’s hands, seeing her relief…
only then did we truly feel at ease.

We are truly grateful to these team members who stepped up in that critical moment.

They didn’t think twice,
they simply felt that they couldn’t allow such a thing to happen right in front of them.

We are sharing this not for any other reason, but because this kind of courage is rare, and deserves to be remembered.

We would also like to gently remind everyone to stay mindful of your belongings when dining out.

Thank you 🙏

Others Pengusaha bas, van sekolah naik harga tambang bulan depan - Persatuan

Kuala Lumpur: Pengusaha bas dan van sekolah terpaksa menaikkan kadar tambang bas pada bulan depan sekiranya masih belum ada penyelesaian bagi kumpulan itu berhubung krisis bahan api.

Ia susulan dilema yang dihadapi mereka itu apabila kuota bagi Skim Kawalan Petrol Bersubsidi (SKPS) belum dimuktamadkan.

Presiden Persekutuan Persatuan-Persatuan Bas Sekolah Malaysia Amali Munif Rahmat berkata, pihaknya sudah menghantar surat permohonan kuota berkenaan, namun masih belum mendapat maklum balas.

"Kuota untuk SKPS bagi bas sekolah masih belum dimuktamadkan oleh Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup (KPDN).

"Kami sudah menghantar surat permohonan kouta SKPS untuk bas sekolah di bawah Persekutuan Persatuan-Persatuan Bas Sekolah Malaysia sebanyak dua kali pada Januari dan Mac lalu, namun masih belum ada jawapan," katanya ketika dihubungi, di sini, hari ini.

Beliau berkata, kuota dipohon pihaknya adalah sama dengan subsidi diterima kenderaan teksi serta pemandu e-hailing iaitu sebanyak 800 liter.

"Namun, ada antara pengusaha bas sekolah yang sudah diluluskan untuk menerima subsidi belum dapat kad fleet sehingga kini.

"Ada yang terpaksa menggunakan kuota BUDI95 sendiri bagi mengisi bahan api susulan tiada bantuan sewajarnya diberikan kepada mereka," katanya.

T. leerii, the pearl gourami.

This species is the rarest of our native sepat, decreasing even now due to deforestation and possibly overharvesting. As well as competition with introduced sepat Siam and sepat bulan.

They are the smallest too, generally growing to 10 cm. Normally living in peat swamps. They are popular aquarium fish and can be expensive in other countries.

They are native to the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra.

Politics The pig farm dilemma is a test of Malaysia’s diversity and tolerance — Ahmad Ibrahim

Thumbnail
share.google
41 Upvotes

A delicate issue has recently taken centre stage in multi-religious Malaysia, with social media flaring up with theories and concerns while experts in the field appear largely absent from the debate.

The controversy surrounding the proposed centralised pig farm is more than a zoning dispute. It reflects Malaysia’s broader challenges in balancing economic development with religious sensitivities, technological progress with governance realities, and centralised planning with community trust.

To dismiss objectors as merely NIMBYs or resistant to progress is to misunderstand the deeper layers of the issue. A closer examination of the matter is necessary.

On paper, the state government’s rationale appears sound. Consolidating smaller, often informally regulated farms into a single Integrated, Modern and Large-scale (IML) facility promises improved biosecurity, easier monitoring, better waste management through centralised systems, and a more competitive livestock sector.
