Let Sarawak, Sabah adopt their own education policies

It is unfortunate and very sad that in this country, education seems to have been unfairly and unjustly politicised. Like race and religion, education has turned into an ugly subject for us to argue, debate and quarrel over.
Like race and religion before it, education has also lost its purity. How can something so good and beautiful become so rotten and ugly? Isn’t it true that whenever we discuss our education policies, it would not be happy or pleasant discourse?
There is no joy at all when we broach the subject of education. What happened to the dignity and glory of education? There is a blunt answer — our flip-flop education policies suck!
We equate education with knowledge, wisdom, pride, dignity, status and glory. However, over the past few weeks, such positive traits are absent as Malaysians debate over the fortified attempt to halt the abolition of the Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English, popularly defined by its Malay abbreviation PPSMI.
I must concede that I have not been able to fully comprehend the arguments put forth by our Education Minister on his decision to scrap PPSMI from January next year.
He reasoned that the standard of Science and Maths has dropped after English was re-introduced in 2003 as the medium of instruction. PPSMI will be replaced with MBMMBI, a new policy of upholding the Malay language and strengthening the command of English.
Just what is MBMMBI? I’m not really sure. If it is aimed to strengthen English, I thought PPSMI was introduced for that purpose.
I recall Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad stating that Malaysians must improve their standard of English in order to be more knowledgeable when competing globally.
It was for that reason that he re-introduced PPSMI in 2003.
Now, why are we going backwards? In the process, we also confuse our students and subject them to further hardship and anguish by having to learn Science and Maths in a different language after their graduation to secondary school.
I honestly doubt such a policy will help our students improve on the two subjects in question. In fact, I foresee deterioration.
An email from Page (Parent Action Group for Education), which also came into my in-box this week, contradicted the Education Minister’s take on the declining standard of Science and Maths among our students under PPSMI.
The group pointed out that evidence of the PPSMI’s success could be seen in the UPSR, PMR and SPM results over the years.
“The highest pass rate in Science and Maths was in 2007 while the lowest was in 2001 before the PPSMI was implemented,” said Page chairman Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim.
“The highest pass rate in English was recorded in 2008 while there have been no signs of any adverse effect on the pass rate in Bahasa Malaysia.”
Page also revealed figures and charts which showed a marked improvement in the performance in Science and Maths among rural students.
Page’s revelation was an eye-opener but the group’s explanation and protest to the Education Minister fell on deaf ears. On Thursday this week, he declared that the decision to scrap PPSMI was final.
The minister had earlier stated the decision was made after careful study by the Education Ministry. He also said that he had obtained feedback from various quarters.
I doubt that the minister, who is from Umno, had properly consulted even his major partners in the Barisan Nasional before deciding on the PPSMI issue. Could this be another case of Big Brother bullying its younger siblings and bulldozing through the new policy?
This week, MIC and MCA came out strongly, and rightly too, in opposing the Umno move.
MIC president Datuk G Palanivel urged the Education Ministry to reconsider its decision to scrap PPSMI and asked the government not to rush into things but to think over the matter carefully.
“We have to consider the ongoing public reaction on this issue,” he said.
On the MCA side, its president Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek stressed that there must be clear guidelines which will help to end any confusion.
“The MCA’s stand on this issue is very clear. We believe the stakeholders must have a choice,” he said.
Both Palanivel and Chua opined that one of the options is to consider teaching Science and Maths in both Bahasa Malaysia and English.
This is what Page has also suggested to the government. Many of us will readily agree that this is the best option to resolve the impasse. The Education Minister should take serious note of the suggestion.
I feel that the sentiments among students, parents and educators in Sabah and Sarawak are leaning towards the opposing side — they want PPSMI to continue.
How am I so sure about this? For one, there is no ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ sloganeering in the two East Malaysian states. Malays in Sabah and Sarawak are a different breed from those in the peninsula. There are no racists in the Borneo states and I am always proud to make this declaration.
English has always been the main language of conversation, second only to the mother tongue of the various communities. We are already 1Malaysia without the need to harp on a national language, as if learning a few languages will cause disunity among Malaysians.
At times like this, when we have to protest and quarrel over our education policies which have been flip-flopping for as long as we can remember, the education authorities in Sabah and Sarawak must seriously review the options.
Although education is a federal matter, East Malaysia should start insisting that the two states be allowed certain leeway to formulate and streamline their own education policies.
Federal leaders have often said that Sabah and Sarawak have certain peculiarities and should be treated differently. I feel that it is time for Putrajaya to include education as another peculiarity of the two East Malaysian states.
Allow Sabah and Sarawak to chart their own educational direction and let them have their own policies and system to cater for the peculiar needs of the people in the two states. National policies could also be refined and eventually adopted to suit the educational needs of Sabahans and Sarawakians.
We need an education system which emphasises thinking, creativity and innovation. It is true that too many feudal stipulations in our system are turning our students into passive clowns.
I would want my home state of Sarawak to learn from mistakes and weaknesses in our national education policies and to define and adopt its own education plans and programmes.
Giving citizens the opportunity to receive the education they desire means presenting to them a bright future. Why is it so difficult to let our students decide what they want for their future?
If I were a schoolboy today, I would appreciate the opportunity to learn as many languages as possible. If I had to choose only one, English would be my first choice.
And no Education Minister should force me to study in the language which is not my choice. Period!
People, bear in mind that ministers are politicians. They come and go. Don’t allow one to make a decision which is likely to wreck your future.
On an issue as important as education, you must dare to make a stand.
Your future is at stake!

Malaysia's Bakun dam online but criticisms persist



BAKUN DAM, (AFP) - The first turbine is spinning, electricity is pulsing out, and the water level is climbing in the Borneo jungle behind Malaysia's huge $2.2 billion Bakun hydroelectric dam.
But questions continue to swirl around the viability of a project described by critics as a graft-plagued human and ecological disaster -- and as opposition mounts against a dozen other planned dams in Sarawak state.
The first turbine from French giant Alstom began producing electricity in August and the dam's reservoir in the Malaysian portion of Borneo island has swelled to the size of Singapore since impoundment began a year ago.
After years of warnings about the impact on Sarawak's pristine jungles and the forced removal of thousands of local tribespeople, the dam's head Zulkifle Osman sees light at the end of the tunnel.
During a tour of the facility, the managing director of Sarawak Hidro who has overseen construction since 2000 defended the dam despite an electricity surplus in the state and the lack of a market for its power.
"It is a chicken-and-egg game," Zulkifle told AFP.
"I am confident there will be a lot of demand for electricity in Sarawak."
But dam opponents say the situation confirms warnings about Bakun as an ill-planned and unnecessary boondoggle.
The facility is located on the Balui River, a mighty waterway that drains a vast rainforested area of northern Borneo -- home to orangutan, spotted leopards, rare plants, and a renowned biodiversity.
The project was first approved in 1986 under then-premier Mahathir Mohamad as a cheap electricity source for more-developed peninsular Malaysia even though the country is a net oil and natural gas exporter.
But in a 2005 report, anti-graft watchdog Transparency International termed the dam one of the world's "Monuments of Corruption," citing years of delays, ownership changes, and overall costs that more than doubled.
"No users have made any legal written commitment for the usage of the energy," said Elli Luhat, a former Sarawak forestry official, now an environmental activist.
"I have a real fear that Bakun dam will one day become a white elephant."
Tribal residents say warnings about the dam's ecological and human impact are coming true.
Residents living in the shadow of the dam, one of the world's highest at 205 metres (673 ft), say the river's biodiversity has degenerated, fish catches have plunged, and once-clean waters smell foul and are unsafe to drink.
Silting has occurred, inhibiting navigation in the river, natives say.
Climbing into his boat in Uma Nyaving village about 10 kilometres (six miles) from Bakun, Kayan tribesman Richard Let complained of the thinning fish numbers.
"Now there is not enough for my family and the fish are small. The river is choking under silt and is making it difficult to fish with our boats," said Let, 31.
Downstream from the dam, nearly 12,000 indigenous Kayan, Kenyah, Ukit and Penan people live in traditional wooden longhouses in a resettlement area in the town of Sungai Asap. Their ancestal homes are now underwater.
They enjoy amenities unknown when they dwelt in the forest -- piped water, electricity, schools, Internet access and health services.
But Bulan Merang, 43, who moved to Sungai Asap 12 years ago, struggles to feed her eight children amid high food prices and new social strains.
"Children no longer respect their elders. Even my 21-year-old son says I am a useless woman whenever he gets drunk," she said.
The tribes, who previously grew rice and bananas and hunted wild boar, say their new land is infertile. Age-old hunting grounds are submerged and they must purchase staple foods.
"We were not dependent on money (before). Here everything is money," Bulan added.
Ironically, Sungai Asap's electricity comes not from Bakun but from a huge diesel-powered generator -- the dam's electricity is sent away on power lines criss-crossing the green terrain, headed to a state grid already at capacity.
Sarawak is rich in natural resources but poverty is rampant. Its leaders are keen to diversify from mining, agriculture and forestry and into high-tech industries and say ample power sources are needed to lure foreign investment.
"I am confident the power from Bakun will be taken up. MITI (the Ministry of International Trade and Industry) is working hard to get investors," Zulkifle said.
Zulkifle brushed aside concerns over the safety of Bakun, one of the world's largest rock-filled embankment dams, calling it "sound."
He said released water was treated to ensure it was clean and denied corruption allegations.
"All the money that is paid is audited. We are scrutinised," he said.
The dam was meant to help cut Malaysia's dependence on oil and gas for electricity generation. Up to 90 percent of output was to be sent to more industrialised peninsular Malaysia via undersea cables.
But economic downturns over the years forced protracted construction delays and shuffling of contractors, and the cable plan was shelved on cost concerns.
The Malaysian chapter of Friends of the Earth says nearly a quarter of electricity capacity in Sarawak already is unused, noting that the country as whole also has an electricity surplus.
The planned eight turbines will have a capacity of 2,400 megawatts when installed by 2014. Current Sarawak demand is 1,000 MW.
Then-finance minister Anwar Ibrahim suspended the Bakun dam and other big schemes in 1998 amid a regional financial crisis, angering Mahathir, who was known for backing grandiose projects.
It was revived in 1999 after Anwar was ousted in a falling-out with Mahathir, with Sarawak Hidro acquiring the project from original private Malaysian developer Ekran.
The dam's capacity remains far too much for Sarawak and only the undersea cable could salvage its viability, said Anwar, now opposition leader.
"Otherwise we will have a white elephant. Sarawak does not need all that power," he told AFP.
Despite the Bakun controversy, the state has plans for a dozen more dams, angering local tribes.
There are about 200 cases in Malaysian courts brought by indigenous people fighting state acquisition of their land for dams, timber concessions, or other developments.
