My 10 minutes speech

I remember delivered this text during school assembly during launching of Science,Maths & Ict (Samatict) Months. I wish I'll be getting another moment like this in the future. Good practice!

A very good morning I bid to the honourable school principal, Tn Hj Mohmad Mohlis B Yusak, Senior assistants, Head of departments, Teachers, MPPs and all students.
I’m very pleased and proud this morning to see all the preparations for today special event the SAMATIC Month was done properly. For that, I would like to express my appreciation to Mr Suzaimi and Ms Asma Alias who took their job seriously as the director of the program, Mr Jamil and Ms Jan Rovera who are responsible for today’s launching and not forgotten to all science,maths and ict teachers who showed their commitment to ensure the success of this event. Even though some of them are new teachers but they have done their job well. Thank you and well done!
Now is the month of April and it is our unit The SAMATIC Department’s turn to organize and supervise the school’s curriculum activities throughout the month. The main objective of the programme is to emphasis the learning of Science, Maths and IT in English to ensure the students’ academic performances reach its’ target in terms of the quality and quantity. Today I’m glad to take this chance to share my thoughts and hopes. Before that, thank you to Madam Ann my beloved wife who helped me out with this text.
L&G
Learning Maths, Science and IT in English is crucial to the advancement of science and technology nowadays in this global world. Why do I say so? It’s easy...look around you. Books, notes from the internet, names of parts and equipments, environmental issues are some examples where if one knows Maths & Science in English very well then you are able to distinguish yourself from the rest. Imagine how you are able to help to save our planet if you have the knowledge in science. Have you ever wondered what will happen if the earth is hotter by 1 C only? Well, let me tell you, the ice will melt in the North & South poles and thus will contribute to the rising level of the sea water. Just imagine cities like Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan will be disappeared in a second under the sea and destroy thousands of life. But, if you know science well, you are able to help to control the condition even by doing a small part in school. For example, do not litter plastic because it will pollute our school & environment. Please remember this!
L&G, Lastly,
My hope for all of us is to take this challenge of learning maths & science in English in order to change the way we live in. You have to walk the thousand miles to reach the end of the rainbow that is the success of your life. So once again, students please support this programme and do your best in any competitions you will join. Just realize everything we do here is important because we care about your academic and your future. We wish to see each and every one of you successful in your life. With that I end my speech with a quote” PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE HAVE A MAGICAL EFFECT BEFORE WHICH DIFFICULTIES DISSAPEAR AND OBSTACLES VANISH” By John Quincy Adams. Thank you all.

PPSMI became history

Addressing fears and concerns of parents
With the announcement of the reversal of the teaching of Mathematics and Science in English (PPSMI), The Star received numerous queries on various aspects of the new policy. Below, Education director-general Tan Sri Alimuddin Mohd Dom provides answers to these questions.

> By increasing the number of periods of English, does this mean school hours will be longer? Or will the time-table be restructured to reduce the time for some subjects?
The increase in the number of periods for English Language classes will not affect school hours. The time-table will be restructured whereby some subjects will have fewer periods. However, the ministry is in the process of fine-tuning this with the involvement of all stake-holders.
> If a student is in Year One in 2010, this means he will be in Year Three in 2012. Will he study Maths and Science in Bahasa Malaysia when he is in Year Three (2012) or will he continue in English?
Students in Year Three (2012) will continue to learn Maths and Science in English. The implementation of the change will only involve students in Year Four.
> Will teachers start teaching certain Mathematics and Science terms in Bahasa from Year One next year so that once students are in Year Three in 2012, they are able to cope better?
Teachers may use Bahasa to introduce mathematical and scientific terms and may use both Bahasa and English in the teaching of both subjects.
> If a student starts Form 4 in 2012, he would have studied Maths and Science in English for nine years (six years at primary level and three years at secondary level). Does this mean he has to study Maths and Science for two years in Bahasa (in Forms 4 and 5), and revert to English for the two subjects when he is in Form 6/Matricula­tion?
Currently the decision stands as it is and students in Form 4 (2012) will learn Maths and Science in Bahasa. However, the Ministry will fine-tune the process to accommodate students in the transitional period.
> Can private schools which also follow the national school syllabus be given the flexibility to continue with English? Are international schools exempted from this new policy?
According to the Education Act (1996) Section 7 (Private Educational Institutions) Item 74, “A private educational institution providing primary education or secondary education or both shall comply with the requirements of the National Curriculum and shall prepare pupils for prescribed examinations.”
Therefore, private schools fall under this Act and the change in the medium of instruction in the teaching of Maths and Science will affect them. However, international schools do not come under this Act.
> Can parents with children at the private schools make the decision to continue with English?
No. If parents were to decide to put their children in private schools, they are to follow the national curriculum as stipulated under the Act.
> From this year until 2011, will public examinations such as the UPSR, PMR, SPM and STPM continue in two languages, that is Bahasa and English, in national primary and secondary schools, and Chinese and Tamil for the respective vernacular schools?
The public examinations will continue to be bilingual until 2012 for SPM candidates and 2013 for UPSR and PMR candidates.
> How will the ministry monitor if teachers take matters into their own hands and decide to start teaching the two subjects in Bahasa from next year even though the PPSMI policy is still ongoing?
At present, an overwhelming number of teachers are taking matters into their own hands by teaching Maths and Science bilingually. From now until 2012, there is no change in the policy. Teachers are to teach in English and may use both languages (English and Bahasa) to teach the two subjects.
The ministry has various bodies such as the state and district education departments and the School Inspectorate to monitor programmes run by the ministry.
> From now till 2012, will the teaching of Maths and Science be in Bahasa and English, or mother tongue (Chinese and Tamil)?
Officially, the policy (PPSMI) continues up to 2012. Teachers are to teach in English and may use both languages (English and Bahasa) to teach the two subjects.
> From 2012 onwards, will the teaching of Maths and Science for all levels in national primary and secondary schools be in Bahasa, and in mother tongue for vernacular schools?
As it is, the change will take effect as mentioned in the decision (starting with Year One and Four and Form 1 and 4 in 2012). However, we will look at matters that arise to fine-tune the changes.

How well is 87% pass in STPM now day?

I accidentally read this blog while looking for computing stpm material for my class. The article is funny to read and catch my attention. So decided to copy it and put in my blog just for sharing and thought for the day!


How do you explain the fact that 87% of the students passed the examinations of the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) recently? When during your grandfather’s time only 10% would have passed? Are students getting smarter? Or are STPM questions getting easier? Let me put things in their proper perspective.

During your grandfather’s time, they would ask exam questions like:
In what year did Parameswara founded the kingdomof Melaka?

The correct answer was “1402″, and they found that only 10% of the students managed to answer the question correctly. This didn’t go down too well with the authorities, because the objective of the exams was to
pass people.

I mean, what’s the point of having exams if people fail?

So later, they found another way to ask the same question:
Parameswara founded the kingdom of Melaka in the year:
(a) 2001
(b) 2004
(c) 1986
(d) 1975
(e) 1402
Tick the correct answer.

The results were better in that 20% of the students passed. But it was still not good enough, so the authorities tried a different tactic a few years later.

Parameswara founded the kingdom of Melaka in the year1402.
true or false?

Well, half of the students guessed “True” and the other half guessed “False”. Fully 50% passed. The results were getting pretty acceptable by now.

Most other countries would be satisfied with a 50% passing rate, but not us. We are a better country, because we are a boleh country the authorities then cracked their heads and then came out with this one:

Read the following sentence carefully.
“Parameswara, the cousin of Proton-Iswara, founded the kingdom of Melaka in the year 1402″.
Underline the name of the person who founded Melaka.

60% underlined “Parameswara”, 30% underlined “Proton-Iswara” and 10% underlined “1402″. Hooiyoh……60% managed to pass! So krever!

But for some reason, the authorities were still not contented. So last year, they came out with this gem:

One day in the year 1402, Parameswara founded the kingdom of Melaka. Then he went home to have dinner. What did he eat? 13% handed in blank answers, 57% wrote “Maggi Mee”, and 10% wrote “Kentucky Fried Chicken”, and 20% wrote “Tree bark”.

The official answer was “Food” of course!

After the marking was over, it was found that 87% of the students had passed. 87%….. now that’s pretty impressive! So it’s true. The students are indeed getting smarter.

Did you lock your car already?

Beware, thieves are very clever nowadays. Be careful when using your car lock remote because your remote signal can be copied when it transfer in open air, means when you using your lock in some distance you are actually giving the code to a third party person. This would cause your valuable thing to be stolen since the culprit can easily unlock your car. There is a proof that these product is designed and came from china. So be careful everyone. Remember, always lock your car before you take a walk.
