Are Dr Khoo Kay Kim and Dr Ridhuan Tee pulling BN’S leg?

It is ironic that the Chinese community always paid the honor to a person who earnestly contributed to the Chinese education in the country and otherwise.

Academician Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim who claimed that the Chinese education system produced copycats while Dr Mohd Ridhuan Tee Abdullah criticized the vernacular education system in the country.

In response to these criticizes, the Chinese community can not find any possible reason that could justify the claimed especially taking into account that Malaysia is a role model of multiracial country.

The Chinese community especially the educationalists not only condemn them but describe them as naive, arrogant and disgrace to Malaysian Chinese’s history in the country. It is reported that the Chinese education supporters were very angry and disgusted and to the extent that their names have term synonymous with the word traitor.

Undeniably, language is the bridge to understanding. It is claimed that Dr Khoo Kay Kim is married to an Indian of Ceylonese Tamil creed while Dr Mohd Ridhuan Tee Abdullah is a Chinese convert married to Malay, they were not Chinese educated or never a Chinese medium educated. They were unable to understand the Chinese community situation, thought, feeling and the driving political sensitivity behind.

Indeed, the views expressed by two prominent academicians seem to be a particular challenge to Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

In a statement, Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said that national schools might adopt the Chinese school model in the teaching of Mathematics and Science as the Chinese schools had done well in the two subjects in public examinations.

It is often claimed that many academician are anti-establishment and not surprisingly well planned overt or covert anti-establishment viewpoints unfavorable to the government especially targeted to severely tarnish the image of MCA seems to be happening regularly.

Intentionally, they present distorted views. This will not only weaken the credibility of MCA, but will probably fail MCA to keep the support for the Barisan Nasional.

At the end of the day, the move will threaten the political stability at times when political support is deteriorating. The strategy to usurp BN political power is the hidden agenda and a symbiotic relationship between academicians and opposition.

While the ruling party takes full advantage of its position to gain support and maintain power, it is not justify supporting the academicians to jeopardize the power of the ruling party.

A good piece of writing but to claim that the natural tendency of academicians in this country is inclined to anti-establishment and that there exist a symbiotic relationship with opposition as a hidden agenda in usurping BN's political powers is not that plausible.

Both Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim and Dr. Mohd Ridhuan Tee Abdullah criticisms on the Malaysian Chinese vernacular education are proactive and most welcomed.

One of the major contribution to MCA downfall is the vernacular eduation. It failed to foster good relationship dan understanding in line with the the early Merdeka spirit and with the National Education Policy which is aimed to foster a workable national integration through mutual respect and understanding with all races.

Please do not believe whatever craps that are hurled down by DAP in alleging to champion the Malaysian Chinese rights, those have been done by MCA.

MCA has failed miserably not due to NEP policies or the Ketuanan Melayu or the special rights of the Malays enshorined in the constitution but because MCA is always sleeping on the job.

Latter generation of MCA leaders have failed to grasp the early MCA leaders mutual respect and understanding with UMNO leaders.

MCA leaders have failed to follow UMNO leaders in championing other races rights.

In 52 years of independence, UMNO leaders have strive to balance all interests but there are hiccups by MCA and MIC leaders.

It is time for MCA and MIC leaders to wake-up and perform better by instilling sincerity in themselves and not just pointing fingers to radical and good ideas that are given to them in good spirit to nurture true national integration.
