A husbandly squeeze for being badminton champion and now a bouquet from the Premier spouse are sufficient to send any wife into multiple…..orgbit….is that the correct word….I know it starts with “or” …..but anyway….. this is not the time for frivolities.
It is always gratifying to read that the PM has finally found the right words after his recent boo-boo FRIVOLOUS frolic with the press at a post-Supreme Council Meeting. Yesterday, he was reported to have said:
He also credited his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor for taking the initiative in starting the programme.
What’s THE programme?
On the premise that in every school-going age group, 3-5% are GIFTED, Mrs PM, despite all the negativities surrounding her, has found inspiration and solace to initiate the National Permata Pintar. If this will plug the brain-exodus we are now experiencing, I am, as a former pedagogue, all for it. But I have to honestly warn that unless all the prerequisite structures and processes are sustained, it will just be another flavor of the month, another feel-good programme. We have experienced numerous knee-jerk programmes churned out by some government TIN-TANKS….yes, pun intended. The National Service continuing fiasco is one. We will not use this space to enumerate them….that will be for better times like the next General Elections!
But like I said earlier, I am for such programs if Mrs PM takes full ownership and not give it to any of our Universities that are trying desperately to claw their way out of the pits! Worst still, don’t politicize this brainchild. We don't want anything braindead. And just a word of caution....dont get some Sunshine Something and Isyoda involved in the construction of this school for the girfted,
People, I see this as good stuff. Read how good it is HERE.
Zorro,
ReplyDeleteI think we can cut to the chase and leave out all these b#*^sh%$ "Self Appreciation" talk between the 1PM and his 1Wife.
We can also leave out the objectives and target deliverables of the 1Wife's National Permata Pintar program which is all rhetorics. What is of greatest importance is "WHAT IS THE BUDGET?" for this program.
Rest assured the BUDGET will be a big one, like paying RM20,000 for an obsolete computer, and guess who will be the real beneficiaries of this National Permata Pintar program. No prizes for guessing!!!!
If only these 1Elites spend half their time doing something really beneficial for ALL Malaysians, we would be a truly blessed country. Instead they spend all their time milking and pillaging this country until this country is bled dry.
Anon637pm...sentiments noted. As to cutting to the chase I made mention of NS and that Sunshine and Isyoda thing.....all resources point that way, no? Sometimes when we come outright, we miss the subtly of the knife slowly being plunged in.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh .. school for the gifted from a blithering tw*t.
ReplyDelete(* Please insert your vowel choice. And subtlety is not a pre-requisite. But get it wrong the first time and you're inna pickle for the next.)
As they say, the tw*t deserves that tw*t.
Poetic justice, I'd add.
If the 'affirmative action' and the 'ketuanan mindset' is completely left out of this National Permata Pintar programme and students are chosen based on merits and their superior IQ, then and only then we can be proud of this initiative.
ReplyDeleteWould the 1PM and his 1wife shake off the shakles of the UMNO,BTN hagemony to implement it for ALL Malaysians irrespective of colour, race or religion?
Let's wait and see. Hope it does not become another billion ringgit fiasco.
Well I can bet with you this 'pintar' school will be filled with ministers children on the taxpayers' account.

Dr M dare to Nazri: Resign from 'racist' Umno
KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has challenged Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz to resign from the 'racist party' Umno.
Hi Bernard, does her good work cover all Malaysian children or just Malay children. So far, her charitable activities are targeted at only the Malay children. Hardly do I hear of her having anything to do with an Indian, Chinese, Bidayu or Kadazan kid.
ReplyDeleteDid she consult with the National Association of Gifted Children before all this hoo-ha ? Yes, there is such an organisation - poorly funded, insufficient voice, etc ... all the trappings of a very minor NGO, that nobody gave a hoot about for more than a decade.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled that she loves & adores kids...well all sandiwara punya bollywood lor ..kissing.. hugging...carrying...feeding...
ReplyDeleteShe is there because a lot of money to make MAH!
Yes, tons & tons of it..all special officers from her team handles this projects...buying special equipment from special ROSMAH crony companies..
Ask her right hand person one Very retired Dato Anak Dara Banyak TUA women!
abod!
to segregate from the have to the have nots, to differentiate between the can and cannot, to split the not so smart to the smarter and smartest will not be necessary for the time being.
ReplyDeleteDo not compare with other countries. Filtration of intelligence will come automatically.
The action plan for the time being will be to how to match our neighbors(Singapore as a benchmark) in academic fields.
There are still a lot of points to gauge and measure. Need to work on the fundamentals first that to adopt the concept because it comes for the PM's wife.
Another creative way to screw us. Already I picture lots of $$$ flying into her filthy pocket in another expensive, feel-good PR crap. Saw a pic of her hugging a child with the paper reporting she had tears in her eyes after the child read a tribute to her. Urrrgh, so blardy fake, makes me wanna puke. This is an instant Msia
ReplyDeleteboleh Mother Theresa, a real hoot!

An early start for BTN!!!
ReplyDeleteAiyaah uncle Zorro, this is another PR strategy cooked up by the Spin doctors hired by Jibby using public monie$ to shore up steroid face flagging Top-Of-Mind market share points.
ReplyDeleteLike all gomen initiatives, its full of wayang kulit frivilous choozpah. Six months down the road, no body even remembered it happened and the initiative will die a natural death. By then the spin doctors would have cooked up another publicity stunt for first lady.
well thats part of the grand plan to give her a real makeover;from one of glutton to a lady of class.
ReplyDeletedont forget, the spinners are paid well.
Aiyah, guess who will be supplying the carpets for the gifted schools at RM5,000 square foot? Yup, a carpetman by the name of Deepak has to charge this price to re-coup the RM750K paid to a certain PI Bala.
