Text of the page (random words):
ational education blueprint 2013 2025 however it would appear that mckinsey s rm20 million moe consultancy job is only the tip of the iceberg according to a parliamentary reply i received from the minister of education the ministry has engaged three external consultants namely the british council brighton education group and smr hr group in a three year programme designed to increase the capacity of local english language teachers the three consultancy firms have been contracted from 2011 to 2013 at a total cumulative cost of rm268 5 million or rm89 5 million a year as part of the agreement the firms will provide 360 native english speaking mentors 120 mentors per firm throughout the three year period the parliamentary reply further states that a total of 7 500 teachers from 1 800 schools will be trained with the responsibilities divided geographically the british council has been tasked to provide mentors to train teachers in labuan sabah and sarawak while brighton education group will train teachers in kelantan terengganu pahang malacca johor and negeri sembilan meanwhile smr hr group will train teachers in penang perlis perak kedah and selangor in other words close to rm270 million is being spent to hire 360 english mentors this breaks down to rm250 000 a year for each mentor or an extravagant sum of almost rm21 000 a month no matter what explanation moe gives there is no way they can justify the absurd amount of money being spent to provide what is essentially a three years paid working holiday to 360 native english mentors on top of that based on ground reports and feedback received from teachers undergoing the programme it would appear that the mentoring they receive ranges from only three to four hours a month this immediately brings into question the efficacy of the mentoring programme as how is anyone expected to master a language or any subject for that matter with only three to four hours worth of training a month furthermore the total expenditure of rm270 million to train 7 500 teachers is equivalent to rm36 000 per teacher over three years this sum is much more than what it would cost to enrol the same teacher into a properly structured english language degree programme in a local university for example wawasan open university offers a bachelor of arts hons in english studies at a total cost of about rm24 000 which is two thirds the cost of the mentoring programme currently provided by the consultancy firms meanwhile a six month diploma course in tesol teaching english to speakers of other languages would cost only rm4 500 at a local private college while the objective of improving the quality of english language teachers is admirable and should be pursued there is absolutely no justification for moe s

court medical centre leave a comment nb this press statement was released on 18 october 2013 in kuala lumpur the recent 2012 auditor general s report has once again raised a storm over the federal government s track record in financial management and expenditure according to serdang mp dr ong kian ming up to rm6 5 billion may have been wasted over 64 cases identified by the report however there is one major government linked company that does not get reviewed by the auditor general and that is our national oil company petronas formed by an act of parliament in 1974 petronas is the custodian of our nation s entire oil and gas resources and remains until today malaysia s one and only fortune 500 company petronas is also the federal government s financial backer providing 40 per cent of the federal budget through dividends oil royalty and taxes but excluding gas subsidies which are additional contributions by law specifically section 3 2 of the petroleum development act petronas is answerable solely to the prime minister even members of parliament have no access to its financial records besides a simple annual report that is published for public consumption more than a billion in losses besides oil and gas petronas has in recent times ventured out of its core business in an attempt to diversify its portfolio as a result petronas is now heavily invested into properties as well as the healthcare sector through prince court medical centre a luxury private hospital situated in the heart of kl city however at a cost of rm544 million to build the investment in prince court medical centre has not been able to reap any profit in fact according to its annual report the private hospital has been suffering huge losses every year for 10 years in a row particularly in the last five years since its operations started in 2008 prince court lost a total of rm111 million this figure nearly doubled to rm192 million in 2009 before haemorrhaging a further rm450 million in 2010 by year ending 31 december 2011 the accumulated losses stood at an incredible rm1 08 billion as shown in the table below income statement for prince court medical centre 2002 2011 year 31 march 2002 2007

year ended 31 march 2009 1 082 949 412 prince court s financial performance is in stark contrast to other private hospitals for example according to ihh healthcare s 2012 financial report parkway pantai which owns a chain of hospitals in malaysia and singapore recorded rm4 75 billion in revenue for 2012 out of which rm818 million was declared as profit should the public subsidise a loss making luxury private hospital according to a parliamentary reply i received from minister in the prime minister s department senator dato sri abdul wahid omar the government considers prince court s business model to be sound and that heavy investments are needed due to the superior state of the art technology used wahid further added that the hospital has been able to achieve 23 per cent growth in the first quarter of 2013 and was recently named the world s best hospital in a medical tourism ranking by medical travel quality alliance even if it is indeed the world s best hospital it still remains a question whether prince court is able to eventually turn a profit and if not then why is the public effectively subsidising a loss making luxury private hospital the bigger question is should petronas even be engaged in non core activities such as healthcare and property being as its mandate and expertise is in the field of oil and gas other oil companies typically only invest in oil and gas related industries and do not stray away from their core competency the huge losses amounting to rm1 1 billion suffered by prince court clearly proves that petronas should not be involved in non core businesses meanwhile this episode also signals an urgent need for greater oversight in petronas s financial matters especially considering the importance of the national oil company to our country s coffers zairil khir johari member of parliament for bukit bendera dap assistant national publicity secretary asb2 untuk siapa 15 october 2013 in economy malaysian politics melayu roketkini com tags 1malaysia amanah saham bumiputera 2 asb2 dasar ekonomi baru deb meb model ekonomi baru pemerkasaan ekonomi bumiputera leave a comment nb this article was originally published in roketkini com ketika dato sri najib razak awal awal menjadi perdana menteri beliau menjanjikan perpaduan nasional melalui kempen 1malaysia dan model ekonomi baru meb dasar ekonomi yang diuar uarkan ini dikatakan akan mengambil pendekatan tindakan afirmatif berasaskan keperluan yakni kepada golongan berpendapatan 40 peratus terendah tanpa mengira kaum usaha ini menandakan pemisahan daripada dasar ekonomi baru deb sebelum ini yang berasaskan kaum dengan anjakan paradigma ini najib mengisyaratkan bahawa pembangunan ekonomi negara pada masa depan akan bertunjangkan prinsip keterangkuman sosial di mana setiap rakyat malaysia akan dihitungkan khususnya mereka yang paling memerlukan bantuan malangnya janji janji najib semua sudah terbatal konsep 1malaysia kini menjadi tidak lebih daripada jenama bagi kedai runcit subsidi klinik bergerak skim perumahan mampu milik menu makanan bajet serta peruncit tekstil dan lain lain lagi pada masa yang sama meb pula jelas dipinggirkan oleh neb versi baru yang dinamakan agenda pemerkasaan ekonomi bumiputera peb dasar peb yang baru dilancarkan ini melibatkan pelbagai inisiatif berasaskan kaum termasuk pembentukan majlis pemerkasaan ekonomi bumiputera penubuhan unit pembangunan bumiputera di setiap kementerian jaminan bahawa syarikat berkaitan kerajaan glc utama akan meningkatkan penyertaan vendor bumiputera serta pelancaran 10 bilion unit saham baru skim amanah saham bumiputera 2 asb2 oleh permodalan nasional berhad pnb sementara meb menawarkan liberalisasi pasaran dan tindakan afirmatif berasaskan keperluan yang akan memberi tumpuan kepada usaha merapatkan jurang antara yang kaya dan miskin peb pula seolah olah usaha untuk mengembalikan deb yang telah terbukti gagal membela golongan melayu miskin tetapi sebaliknya lebih memanfaatkan golongan kapitalis melayu yang mempunyai hubungan akrab dengan parti pemerintah hakikat ini adalah jelas apabila kita pertimbangkan perangkaan yang menunjukkan bahawa setelah empat dekad bantuan yang kononnya disasarkan kepada bumiputera masih terdapat 40 peratus isi rumah bumiputera yang hidup dengan pendapatan bulanan rm1 686 secara purata pada masa yang sama si kaya yang mempunyai hubungan politik mampu untuk membeli rumah banglo rm7 juta dengan begitu sahaja justeru cadangan pelancaran 10 bilion unit asb2 adalah sangat meragukan siapakah yang sebenarnya mendapat manfaat daripada saham asb tambahan yang bakal disediakan adakah kumpulan 40 peratus isi rumah bumiputera terendah dapat melabur dalam saham saham yang berhasil tinggi ini sedangkan pendapatan mereka hanya cukup makan dan pakai menurut laporan tahunan pnb pelaburan purata pelabur bumiputera adalah rm14 097 seorang pada akhir tahun 2012 sekali pandang angka ini tampak menunjukkan bahawa ramai orang melayu sudah mencapai kadar simpanan yang agak selesa walau bagaimanapun apabila laporan ini diperhalusi angka ini benar benar mengelirukan setelah dicerakinkan didapati bahawa 74 peratus atau hampir tiga perempat pelabur amanah saham bumiputera sebenarnya mempunyai pelaburan purata hanya rm611 setiap seorang angka ini jauh berbeza dengan purata keseluruhan pelabur dan lebih mencerminkan realiti rakyat dalam erti kata lain hanya golongan pelabur elit bumiputera yang mampu melabur dengan jumlah yang ketara sementara majoriti pelabur bumiputera yang lain ternyata tidak mampu menikmati tawaran saham ini oleh itu bagaimanakah mungkin langkah kerajaan untuk menyediakan lebih banyak unit asb dapat memberi manfaat kepada bumiputera kebanyakan malah satu kajian oleh pakar ekonomi dr muhammed abdul khalid mendapati bahawa perbezaan kekayaan antara pelabur asb adalah sangat mencolok di mana 0 1 peratus teratas pelabur bumiputera mempunyai portfolio terkumpul yang bernilai 1 526 kali lebih banyak berbanding gabungan 80 peratus pemegang saham terbawah oleh itu tidak syak lagi bahawa kumpulan elit bumiputera ini juga yang akhirnya akan mendapat manfaat daripada tambahan 10 bilion unit asb2 dan bukannya melayu biasa yang sekadar mampu untuk melabur sebanyak rm611 maka persoalannya untuk siapakah asb2 ini sebenarnya pastinya bukan untuk bumiputera kebanyakan mukhriz harus belajar dari sejarah dan tidak mengulangi kesilapan bapanya 14 october 2013 in press statements tags dap kedah mukhriz mahathir politik perkauman leave a comment nb this press statement was released on 12 october 2013 in alor setar saya merujuk laporan laporan media mutakhir ini yang memetik menteri besar kedah dato mukhriz mahathir sebagai berkata bahawa kerajaan beliau tidak akan melayan sebarang permintaan daripada sekolah vernakular cina dan sebaliknya hanya akan menumpukan bantuan dan keutamaan kepada sekolah kebangsaan sahaja mukhriz telah mewajarkan kenyataannya dengan alasan bahawa beliau tidak boleh mengabaikan pengundi yang telah menyokongnya dalam pilihan raya umum yang lepas tambahan pula beliau berkata bahawa majoriti rakyat kedah terdiri daripada orang melayu kenyataan sedemikian oleh seorang menteri besar iaitu pemimpin tertinggi negeri bukan sahaja tidak bertanggungjawab dan bersifat dendam tetapi seolah olah tidak belajar dari sejarah pada tahun 1969 bapanya tun dr mahathir mohamad telah membuat kenyataan yang serupa di mana beliau mengujar bahawa beliau tidak memerlukan sokongan kaum cina untuk menang dalam pilihan raya akhirnya beliau telah tewas dalam pertandingan untuk kerusi kota setar selatan kini nampaknya mukhriz ingin mengulangi kesilapan yang sama menjelang pilihan raya kecil sungai limau sepatutnya sebagai seorang menteri besar yang bertanggungjawab beliau harus menjaga kebajikan setiap lapisan masyarakat tanpa mengira latar belakang politik saya mengesyorkan agar mukhriz belajar daripada contoh kerajaan kerajaan pakatan rakyat di selangor dan pulau pinang bantuan kebajikan yang diberikan termasuk kepada sekolah agama rakyat sekolah jenis cina dan tamil serta sekolah mubaligh adalah ikhlas dan tidak berunsur politik begitu juga dengan program program bantuan tahunan kepada warga emas ibu tunggal oku murid sekolah para nelayan dan juga pemandu teksi malah kerajaan negeri pulau pinang baru mengumumkan bahawa peruntukan sebanyak rm40 000 setahun akan diberikan kepada setiap adun pembangkang bn bagi projek projek infrastruktur dalam kawasan mereka kerajaan negeri selangor pula baru mengumumkan bahawa ketua pembangkang dewan undangan negeri selangor akan menerima elaun tambahan sebanyak rm8 620 sebulan termasuk penggunaan kereta rasmi kerajaan langkah kerajaan selangor dan pulau pinang ini bukan sahaja menghormati demokrasi dan pilihan rakyat tetapi juga selari dengan hasrat persepaduan nasional sebaliknya tindakan mukhriz untuk memangsakan golongan tertentu boleh disifatkan sebagai dendam politik saya yakin sekiranya mukhriz tidak menarik balik kenyataannya dan menyambung balik peruntukan untuk sekolah sekolah bukan kebangsaan bn akan ditimpa nasib yang sama dalam prk sungai limau seperti yang dialami bapanya dalam pru tahun 1969 zairil khir johari pengerusi interim dap kedah merangkap penolong setiausaha publisiti kebangsaan dap dan ahli parlimen bukit bende...
