Some thoughts about our education system. Sontoloyo series no 41

1. It didn't need somethings untoward to happen for the minister of education to come up with the idea that students wear the jalur gemilang badges.

2. Perhaps someone proposed that to the education minister. She got an 8 million budget for that hare brained idea.

3. I thought it's a better idea to make students wear badges depicting a full monty Rose Chan.

4. Male students would adulate , respect and ogle at the badges. They would be happy to take care of the badges. Polish them .

5. Female students would be proud because one of their kind is respected and adulated .

6. And some shemales would also ogle at the badges .

7. Hey, teaching students adulation, respect and pride, bagus apa. A badge with Rose Chan on it would do the job.

7b. But it took a number of mishaps to happen for the minister to announce, starting in 2026, a subject on character building will be taught to pupils.

8. Although late, it is good for the minister to think of introducing this subject. Better late than never.

9. A pity it's a thought of after solution rather than a thought of before solution.

10. It was only after the PM lamented that students are too exam oriented forgetting moral lessons, that the minister sprang into action.

11. Ah so, it's ingratiating oneself to the PM that is the priority rather than thinking about the needs of education that is more urgent.

12. In Japan, for the 1st 3 years , pupils are thought about character values. Honesty, integrity, humility, respect for elders etc

13. No exams for the 1st 3 years.

14. It's good to teach about such values to children.

15. Like the Malay says, to shape the bamboo, do it when they are shoots.

16. For the students who have committed bad things, such lessons are too late.

17. For these pupils, the remedial actions are not the molly coddle type but severe punitive actions .

18. If they have committed adult offences like rape or murder, then they ought to be punished as adults not treated as juveniles.

19. Punitive measures are also the preferred remedial actions on adults..like lawgivers, politicians, government servants etc.

20. These people are incorrigible people, set in their ways and know of only one remedy.

21. These people know of only 1 language. The language of fear. Put the fear of God into them .

22. For example,let us decide that those politicians convicted of corruption be banned from politics forever..

23. Isn't it hypocritical for politicians to preach to us about honesty, when they are the first to plunder the budget?

24. When I hear the mindef is given a 40b budget, instead of being elated , I fear for our country .

25. That's a gravy train for the KSU, the generals, the procurement people .

26. Our skies will be clouded with flying coffins( the agungs lament) our seas will see the sailing of battle ships that can't participate in intra nation naval exercise, our streets full of Milo tin armored vehicles and other pitiful stories.

27. The gravy train is a coming.

28. Isn't it hypocritical too, for politicians to preach about mutual respect,when they are the 1st to play the race card?

29. It's hollow of these adults to talk about integrity when in the GLCs, there is so much pillage and betrayal of trust?

30. How can they talk about civility , when in parliament they go after each other's throats?

31. No sir, for these adults, the rehabilitation classes on character building, is an exercise in futility.

32. The new subject mentioned by the education minister is for future students.

33. For the present generation it's already too late. Bring back the cane and DCs. Spare the rod , spoil the child.

34. The present generation is learning all the bad things from the adults.

35. The teacher pisses while standing, pupils piss while running.
