Memorandum to the Heads of Government of Malaysia

I am responding to the message from PAGE and shall post my proposal after the PAGE's message:-

=====================================================

Dear Parents,

PAGE Response to Minister's decision on PPSMI

GIVE PPSMI OPTION TO SELECTED SCHOOLS

Since the decision to switch to the mother tongue is to accommodate the rural students who have been made to appear to have 'lost' from the policy, the Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) wishes to request to the Minister of Education to consider the PPSMI option be made to schools that desire to retain the existing policy in the form of SK(PPSMI) and SMK(PPSMI). This fourth option has been glaringly ignored.

If the Minister is willing to accommodate vernacular schools, he should rightly do the same with schools that wish to maintain status quo who have benefited from the policy and are confident of the 'intended objective' being met.

PAGE will be formulating a plan of action for parents that desire their schools to have the PPSMI option. In the meantime, we request that parents nationwide including Sarawak and Sabah:

1 Indicate to us the name/s of your school/s that may want to maintain PPSMI; or

2 Ask their PIBGs to liaise with us through pagemalaysia@gmail.com .

Please help by forwarding this message to as many parents as possible. We have 9,000 schools to reach!

Thank you.

For Our Children

Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim

PROPOSAL:-

As the Government of Malaysia has reverted the medium of instruction of science and maths to Bahasa Malaysia (BM) basically to please the Malays majority without thinking much for the future of the younger generations if they could interact with the foreign students when they are sent to further their studies overseas.

Imagine the students who are technically taught in BM for science and maths have to re-learn all the technical terms in English is a big challenge for those students on government scholarships to further their studies overseas.

Now the quota of the local universities should be abolished so that there is equal rights for the non-bumi to secure the place at local universities. Why set the quota for the bumi to enter local U even though they are below par??? Why should the tax payers' monies be channelled to fund the local universities and other amenities for the lectures when the non-bumi are paying the tax at equal rates??? Why should the non-bumi not be given the equal rights as spelt in the Federal Constitution. Which conditions in the Federal Constitution give the lower status of the non-bumi? The aborigines in West Malaysia are the true bumi of Malaysia. History tells us that the Malays are also imigrants from Indonesia or nearby terrorities. So why exert dominance over the other non-bumis???

If the quota system is not abolished, then the government should not revert these science and maths to BM because many parents wanted to send their children to further their studies overseas. If the kids are sent overseas at younger age before Form 5, these kids are too young to be at their own cultural shock may be another factor. But the quota system for local U is pure bias and racism in the country. Why do you have to set different quota for the same citizen??? Is that not racism???

Although the rights of the States should be protected, the equal rights of the various races to secure the seat in the local U should be based on merit of their results and not based on racial colours.

Now Mr. Teoh was dead due to fall from height at MACC building's vicinity; news circulating from email is that his death is purely racism of MACC interrogators. Why was he dead in the course of interrogation? Why was he released at odd hours of 3:40am??? Why there was no CCTV showing him leaving the MACC 14th floor???

From the circumstantial evidence, it is my hypothesis that he was thrown off the 14th floor and landed at the 5th floor or he was hit at the head with baton, lost consciousness and thrown off the building to make as if he committed suicide. The last medical report said it was due to fall from height. Are these medical doctors independent witnesses or not??? The late Mr. Teoh was about to get married as he had 2 months pregnant fiancee. I believe any father would love to see the child to be born and never do such foolish a thing to commit suicide. After all, it is a political matter and none of his personal matter. If he had a mental history, there would be medical reports to prove so. If there is no medical history and no medication of mental illness, it is very unlikely that he took his own life.

On Teoh’s cause of death, Khalid said initial autopsy report showed that he died of multiple injuries due to a fall from a high place.

The report also showed that Teoh did not suffer any other injuries prior to the fall.

He, however, stressed that the police had not ruled out foul play in the political secretary’s death.

Meanwhile, Kajang municipal councillor Tan Boon Wah, who was also questioned by the MACC in relation to the same case, said he saw Teoh in the MACC pantry at 6am on Thursday.

So when was Teoh officially discharged? Is there any letter of discharge duly signed? Was there any letter or subpeona for Teoh to come to MACC for interrogation? If yes, there must be a letter of discharge for Teoh to be released. As long as the letter of discharge is not issued, then MACC is still responsible. What law is this? Common laws shall apply. I am not a lawyer but I think the Common laws should apply.

It is unlikely that there is no CCTV recording when MACC interrogated Mr. Teoh as they wanted so much evidence from him that not a single second would be lost without recording.

Quote
Ramon said the public are questioning why there were no CCTV recordings when Teoh was giving his statements, adding people could also not accept that Teoh was deprived of sleep because of the prolonged questioning session.

Who can believe him when all other persons called by MACC had their statements recorded by CCTV???

Quote

The MACC said it had released Teoh at about 3:45 on July 16, after nearly eight hours of interrogation. A janitor found his body at 1:30pm that day on the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam.

"We are comparing the post-mortem report; we have found that death occurred four to five hours before his body was found," DCP Khalid said.

My comments are that IF the police is right, then Teoh must be still under interrogation from 3:45 am until 10:30am and then there must be a heat of the moment which ensued that caused MACC to lose control of their patience over Teoh's refusal to co-operate. If he was released at 3:45am. then why was he still at MACC pantry at 6:00am? Who wanted to stay an hour longer at MACC "a place of torture"???

So the Commission of Inquiry must be set up without further delay when the MACC officers are freely available to give evidence. The CCTV recording is likely erased by MACC personnel or hidden some where else. There could be more than one copy of the CCTV recording as the advanced technology for evidence purposes cannot be so easily lost. Who did the recording that day must be called for giving the statement. Each one of them must be called and put separately at each cell so that there is no collaboration. Can the public trust the professionalism of the police??? Let the public decides.
