I refer to the letter,'Seek what can bring us together,' (nst Nov.12 ), It irked me when the writer, a Malaysian at that without any concern for the feeling and sensitivities of others accused that the government schools or Sekolah Kebangsaan are extremely or hopelessly bad and hollow in their educational standard.
That was the main reasons, according to him why Chinese parents send their children, to Chinese Schools locally and to a neighboring country where the standard of education, is very much higher both in Mandrin and English, and being Malaysian they are not bothered about learning the National Language. It is no wonder that some of them cant even converse or write in Bahasa Melayu which is foreign to them. Why seek further, when only language can bring us together,Dont we all know that 'Bahasa is Jiwa Bangsa"?
In condemning the National Schools,the writer had not only insulted and belittle the government but also, teachers, parents, past and present students. Perhaps the writer is unaware that these schools have produced top students with straight As, much better than some students from the Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan all these years, and that they are today Captains of industries, top corporate figures, top government servants, professionals ,and specialists in all fields. and to prove my point all my four children, two son in laws, and two daughter in laws , are all professionals and holding good positions in government and the private sectors. They were the products of the National schools and local universities .
I suggest that the writer do some research and study the success stories of these schools before making such sweeping and insulting statement.
