ASET 1MDB DILETAK BAWAH MOF

Istilah 'bailout' 1MDB bukan 

sahaja tepat, malah terbesar 

dalam sejarah - Guan Eng

MoF juga akan terus bekerja sama dengan Jawatankuasa Khas 1MDB yang ditubuhkan Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad untuk mengembalikan sebanyak mungkin dana yang hilang dan dicuri









Dalam satu kenyataan akhbar hari ini, beliau berkata, 
aset-aset 1MDB kini diletakkan di bawah Kementerian 
Kewangan (MoF), namun proses pengambil alihan itu 
bukan percuma, sebaliknya ia datang dengan jumlah
 pampasan yang cukup tinggi.

“Saya ingin mengingatkan Datuk Seri Najib bahawa 
MoF tidak mengambil alih aset ini secara percuma, 
sebaliknya apabila kementerian mengambil alih TRX City Sdn Bhd,
 ia juga terpaksa mengambil alih pinjaman syarikat bernilai 
RM800 juta yang diambil daripada PERKESO.
 Hutang ini akan matang pada tahun 2020.

“Apabila MoF mengambil alih Bandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd, kementerian 
terpaksa bertanggungjawab ke atas pinjaman sukuk bernilai RM2.4 bilion,
” katanya dalam kenyataan itu.

Sebelum ini bekas Perdana Menteri yang juga bekas Menteri Kewangan 
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menegaskan, pengambil alihan itu bukannya
 ‘bailout’, sebaliknya ia merupakan proses seperti mana yang dicadangkan 
oleh Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Wang Negara (PAC).

Tegas bekas Presiden UMNO itu lagi, kesemua aset strategik dan
 berharga 1MDB telah dipindahmilik ke syarikat lain di bawah MoF Inc,
 tetapi hutang dan liabiliti 1MDB kekal di bawah syarikat itu.

Namun Lim berkata, kenyataan Datuk Seri Najib adalah salah kerana 
beberapa siri pampasan sudah telah dibayar kepada 1MDB, termasuk 
RM6.98 bilion yang didakwa langsung tidak ada kena mengena dengan 
mana-mana projek hartanah di TRX dan Bandar Malaysia.

Antara pembayaran yang disenaraikan Lim Guan Eng ialah:

Pembayaran faedah kupon bon 30-tahun bernilai RM5 bilion yang 
diterbitkan pada 2009, dan dilaburkan kepada PetroSaudi International Ltd.

Pembayaran faedah kupon bon 10-tahun sejumlah USD3.5 bilion 
(RM13.9 bilion) yang diterbitkan pada 2012 untuk membeli loji-loji 
penjana kuasa, yang mana ia telah dijual dan hasil jualan telah 
digunakan sepenuhnya, tetapi bon itu didakwa masih lagi terhutang dalam syarikat.

Pembayaran faedah kupon bon 10-tahun sejumlah USD3 bilion 
(RM11.94 bilion) untuk membiayai pembangunan TRX, namun 
Ketua Audit Negara melaporkan hasil terbitan bon itu langsung 
tidak digunakan untuk pembangunan TRX.

“Maka, mengapa sebarang pulangan daripada projek-projek hartanah 
yang asalnya dibeli pada harga yang sangat rendah – patut digunakan 
untuk menutup dan membayar balik segala pinjaman-pinjaman tidak 
berkaitan di atas?” soal Lim lagi.

Dalam pada itu, Menteri Kewangan berkata adalah lebih baik agar 
perbahasan mengenai ia merupakan ‘bailout’ atau tidak, dihentikan segera,
 sebaliknya menggesa Datuk Seri Najib untuk menjelaskan mengenai 
pembayaran seperti yang digariskan di atas.

Lim berkata, MoF juga akan terus bekerja sama dengan Jawatankuasa Khas
 1MDB yang ditubuhkan Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad untuk
 mengembalikan sebanyak mungkin dana yang hilang dan dicuri, serta 
menghukum semua pihak terlibat dalam skandal korupsi terbesar Malaysia.
Istilah 'bailout' 1MDB bukan sahaja tepat, malah terbesar dalam sejarah - Guan Eng

Harapan Guru 2018

105 harapan guru kepada Menteri Pelajaran

22 Mei 2018
Admin
Sempena pelantikan Dr Maszlee Malik sebagai Menteri Pelajaran
yang baharu, sebahagian besar guru-guru di Malaysia mengharapkan
yang terbaik dalam sistem pendidikan masa kini.
Justeru, GPS Bestari telah membuka peluang untuk warga pendidik
berkongsi apakah harapan yang mereka ingin sampaikan.

                                                       Dan harapan-harapan tersebut adalah..

1) Guru baru khususnya wajib diberi peluang mengajar berdasarkan
 opsyen kepakaran demi masa depan anak bangsa (penguatkuasaan
 wajib dibuat dengan pekeliling khas KPM kepada setiap ketua jabatan)
2) Setiap ketua panitia atau ketua unit mata pelajaran disediakan pembantu guru.
3) Satu jam peruntukan wajib diberikan dalam jadual PdPC untuk guru
 membaca atau tenangkan fikiran (nampak remeh tetapi penting demi
menambah kefahaman guru).
4. Polis bantuan membuat pemantauan seminggu sekali di premis atau
pekarangan sekolah (disiplin).
5. KPM meninjau keadaan sebenar fasiliti terhad di sekolah yang mempunyai
bilangan pelajar ramai atau kolej tingkatan enam. (Contoh: Ketiadaan dewan khas).
6) Menukar tarikh sambutan Hari Guru yang selama ini disambut ketika
pelajar menduduki peperiksaan pertengahan tahun.
7) Guru yang menilai dan beri markah kepada pengetua dan guru besar.
8) Postingkan graduan ISMP.
9) Menyelesai dan meluluskan semua permohonan guru yang berstatus duka lara.
10) Hapuskan ujian murid tahun 1-3, ajar mereka dengan adab dan akhlak
 seperti di Jepun.. sebab akhlak anak-anak kita sekarang semakin teruk. Guru
 kurang dihormati dan disanjungi. Kembalikan maruah dan tingkatkan martabat
guru. Hapuskan pbd, sekarang pergi sekolah rasa terbeban dengan
bermacam kerja perkeranian.. PdPC jatuh tempat ke berapa ntah.
11) Peluang mengembangkan bakat. Latihan berterusan yang berkualiti.
Anugerah APC yang adil sebagai suntikan semangat dan motivasi.
12) Beri jawatan penolong kanan hakiki kepada semua guru penolong kanan
di pedalaman. Bukan lagi lantikan dalaman sekolah.. tugas sama berat.
13) Hapuskan skpmg2
14) Mengurangkan budaya terlalu banyak mesyuarat, majlis sambutan
atau acara yang bukan akademik dan kursus yang tiada kaitan profesionalisme
 keguruan dan akademik. Less meeting, more productivity.
15) Mengurangkan jumlah fail yang perlu dibuat dan memusatkan arahan
Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri kerana kadang-kadang arahan KPM berbeza
dengan arahan JPN negeri.
16) Meminimumkan jadual waktu peribadi guru untuk menanda buku
17) Mengubah syarat kewangan panitia untuk membeli peralatan yang
menuju ke arah PAK 21.
18) Pembelaan guru yang mempunyai ijazah sarjana dan phd.
19) Kebajikan Guru;
1. Menyegerakan masalah guru duka lara dengan cepat, efisien dan
tiada birokrasi.
2. Penyediaan pembantu guru bagi setiap panitia, pengurusan fail dan
 memasukkan data.
3. Memastikan guru fokus pada subjek opsyennya.
4. Penyediaan kelas khas dengan alat bantu mengajar yang lengkap
bagi setiap subjek.
20) Keperluan murid dan pelajar;
1. Penekanan etika, adab dan moral yang terpuji bermula dari peringkat
awal persekolahan seperti di Jepun.
2. Mengenal pasti kebolehan dan kecenderungan murid/pelajar dari awal
untuk digilap dan dikhususkan kepada murid.
3. Perbanyakkan kelas kemahiran berkualiti bagi memenuhi keperluan
pekerja mahir. Contoh; pertukangan.
4. Sistem penilaian peperiksaan yang tidak menyebabkan murid/pelajar stres.
21) Infrastruktur sekolah;
1. Menyegerakan selenggaraan di setiap sekolah tanpa karenah birokrasi.
2. Memperuntukkan belanjawan khas bagi penyelenggaraan sekolah.
3. Melengkapkan keperluan sekolah tanpa mengharapkan pihak sekolah
mencari sumber luar (lain), bagi mengelakkan berlakunya rasuah
atau salah guna kuasa.
4. Penyediaan pembantu teknikal di setiap sekolah bagi selenggara pendawaian,
 perpaipan dan kerosakan fizikal seperti pintu , kerusi dan meja.
5. Pemantauan dan penyelenggaraan berkala bagi 8,000 lebih sekolah di bawah
 persekutuan.
22) Gantikan pemberian tab, handphone dan simkad kepada projektor
23) Hapuskan pskpps - mengganggu PdPC guru
24) Semua sistem data di selaraskan supaya guru tidak membuat kerja yang
 sama berulang kali contohnya saps, apdm, ssdm, segak.
25) Sistem Data maklumat guru juga di selaraskan supaya hanya
satu sistem sahaja diguna pakai dan tidak lagi memerlukan dokumen
 (hardcopy). Contohnya e-operasi, hrmis.
26) Guru yang sama tidak boleh mendapat APC lebih daripada sekali
27) Sediakan kelengkapan untuk guru seperti kementerian yang lain
seperti alat tulis, uniform, kasut, kenderaan khas dan sebagainya.
28) Berikan semula kuasa merotan kepada guru
29) Berikan imuniti kepada guru supaya ibu bapa tidak boleh menyaman guru
 dan hanya kementerian yang boleh mengambil tindakan kepada guru yang
melampaui batas kepada pelajar
30) Sistem pemarkahan (SKT) diubah menjadi dua hala ( guru juga menilai
 dan memberi markah pegawai yang menilai mereka supaya ada
 ‘check and balance’, ini dapat memastikan pegawai penilai memberi
markah yang betul kepada guru dan mengelakkan salah guna kuasa)
31) Menghapuskan sistem pencerapan oleh pentadbir kerana semua
itu adalah hipokrit dan membazir masa. Guru hanya dicerap jika ada
 keperluan sahaja.
32) Wujudkan semula sistem jika tidak lulus peperiksaan, maka tidak
dapat naik kelas, maka pelajar yang tidak pandai membaca, menulis
tak adalah sampai tingkatan 5 masih tidak dapat menguasai linus.
33) Murid tahun 1 seharusnya tidak dibebankan dengan terlalu banyak
subjek untuk dipelajari.
34) Mengkaji semula silibus mata pelajaran agar relevan dengan
keperluan semasa dan pembentukan sahsiah murid.
35) Menaik taraf bangunan dan kemudahan sekolah yg lebih 50 tahun.
36) Pembatalan pekeliling yang tidak lagi relevan dan mengkaji semula
pekeliling sedia ada.
37) Mengurangkan beban tugas guru terutama dalam kerja kerani.
E-pelaporan/data/ict dan sebagainya perlu mempunyai kerani/pembantu
yang buat dan bukan menjadi tambahan kepada tugas guru. Harap dapat
memberi peluang kepada guru meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran dan
pembelajaran bukan sekadar membuat kerja kerani semata-mata.
38) Hapuskan spsk. Membazir fail dan kertas.
39) Memberi kuasa kepada guru untuk merotan...memberi jaminan
pembelaan sekiranya berlaku hal-hal kemalangan seperti kemalangan
semasa membawa keluar murid agar guru terus terbela.
40) Menghapuskan sistem pencerapan guru
41) Markah prestasi tidak dinilai oleh pentadbir tetapi wujudkan satu
 sistem yang dapat merekodkan setiap tugasan yang telah guru laksanakan.
So boleh detect sape banyak buat keje sape tak buat keje sangat. Baru adil,
 tak dela kaki kipas, tak dela isu pentadbir bagi markah berdasarkan emosi
semata2, tak ada isu kena ugut dgn pentadbir dan sebagainya.
(boleh baca semua isu pemberian markah prestasi di group kgm)
42) Kurangkan program sekolah yang tidak memberi faedah,
 membuang masa guru dan menggunakan duit poket guru sendiri
contohnya majlis konvokesyen tahun 6 @ tingkatan 5, keceriaan tandas,
program kelas PAK 21, hari kanak-kanak.
43) Harap pihak tuan dapat membuat pertukaran guru dengan lebih
adil dan tepat sebab kadang-kadang pertukaran yang dibuat terutamanya
dlm daerah merugikan guru dan dan pihak sekolah. Ini sebab pertukaran
yg dibuat oleh PPD tidak mengambil kira kepakaran dan opsyen semasa/terkini
guru, hanya bergantung pada maklumat opsyen asalnya yang kadang-kadang
guru tersebut tidak mengajar opsyen asalnya berbelas/berpuluh tahun.
Contohnya opsyen asalnya P.Melayu dan guru sambung belajar buat
opsyen/bidang lain, PPD langsung tidak mengambil kira bidangnya yang
terkini/kepakarannya yang terkini. Rugilah kepakaran yang ada pada guru
tersebut tidak boleh diguna untuk pelajar.
44) Disiplin pelajar sekarang, hanya guru di sekolah yang mengetahui
keadaan sebenarnya tentang masalah disiplin ini, tetapi laporan yg dihantar
ke pihak atasa n...contonya ppd ke jpn...tidak melaporkan hal yang sebenarnya
untuk menjaga kedudukan masing-masing. Semua laporan baik tetapi
hakikat sebenarnya tidak.
45) Kaji semula subjek untuk sekolah rendah yang rasanya terlalu tinggi
sukatannya dan terlalu banyak subjek yang hendak disumbatkan ke dalam
otak kanak-kanak yang berumur 6-12 tahun.
46) Mohon kaji bidang sukan dan permainan untuk sekolah rendah yang
terlalu hendakkan hasil terlalu awal. Umur 10 tahun dah nak jadikan
Moktar Dahari,sepatutnya sekolah rendah diberikan asas-asas permainan/kemahiran.
47) Sistem sekarang terlalu tumpukan peperiksaan, semua
guru besar/pengetua hanya nakkan A. Harap dapat ubah keadaan ini
terutamanya sekolah rendah. Menidakkan kemahiran dan keadaan budak
yang berumur 6-12 tahun.
48) Wujudkan pembantu guru di bengkel reka bentuk dan teknologi
49) tingkatkan bajet untuk per kepala murid utk kokurikulum dan akademik.
 guru perlu keluarkan duit sendiri untuk fotostat latihan murid, beli bahan
untuk aktiviti rumah sukan dan lain-lain.
50) Mewujudkan sekolah khas untuk anak OKU, dan mereka tidak
dicampurkan semua dalam satu bilik darjah, diasingkan supaya memudahkan
guru yang terlibat. Anak ini tahap IQ mereka berbeza, terutama anak autisme,
serebal palsi, disleksia, supaya mereka boleh dididik mengikut kemampuan mereka.
51) Hapuskan sistem linus yang menipu keadaan murid yang tidak boleh
 membaca dan mengira.
52) Tambah tempoh masa pembelajaran Sains. Nak minta rakyat minat Sains
 tapi peruntukan masa paling sedikit.
53) Jika masih ada peperiksaan jangan ketepikan hak meraikan kejayaan
murid hanya disebabkan murid lemah akan terasa. Murid yang berusaha
bersungguh-sungguh akan hilang motivasi. Meraikan secara berpada tak salah
 rasanya. Jangan keterlaluan.
54) Waktu PdPC guru yang padat daripada 24 waktu kepada sekarang 32 waktu.
55) Murid Tahun 1 wujudkan kelas berfokus, mereka hanya diajarkan
mata pelajaran Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Inggeris, Matematik,
Pendidikan Islam/Moral, Pendidikan Kesenian dan Pendidikan Jasmani
sahaja selama setahun di Tahun 1.
56) Wujudkan kembali sistem persekolahan tidak lulus tidak naik darjah.
Dengan ini kita tak himpun murid yang tidak menguasai bersama-sama
 murid yang menguasai dalam satu darjah, kesian mereka, sistem membunuh
mereka ( murid tidak menguasai ) dalam keadaan kita tak menyedarinya.
57) Menaiktarafkan Guru Kafa di Kelantan dan dalam masa yang sama murid
 di Kelantan juga dapat sama belajar lima kali seminggu Kafa seperti pelajar
di negeri lain. Sekarang murid hanya dapat belajar kafa tiga kali seminggu.
Penting adanya kelas Kafa dalam pembentukan sahsiah dan jati murid
anak gen Y ini yang mana kelas kafa ini lebih berfokuskan amali dalam
pengajian agama sebagai contoh yang paling nampak kami di Kelantan
akan bersama anak murid untuk solat Zohor dan Asar secara berjemaah.
 Harap sistem Kafa di sesetengah negeri dan tempat dapat diselaraskan.
Mohon juga gaji guru Kafa bukan berbetuk elaun malah selaraskan kepada
gaji tetap. Jasa guru Kafa harus juga tidak dipandang enteng. Mohon sangat
YB ada penambahbaikan dalam membantu sistem pendidikan kafa di beberapa
buah negeri dan tempat. Mohon ada penyelarasan juga.
58) Kaji elaun perjalanan guru ke mesyuarat atau aktiviti menggunakan
kenderaan sendiri.
59) Sebagai guru Sejarah, saya mohon silibus berdasarkan teori barat
dalam buku teks diubah. Sejarah Islam perlu diberi penekanan selaian
sejarah negara sendiri untuk pupuk jati diri anak-anak didik yang terus
leka dengan gajet dan hiburan.
60) Utamakan peserta yang tamat kursus LCML IAB untuk diangkat
sebagai barisan penolong kanan di sekolah.
61) Barisan pentadbir yang tidak efisien hendaklah diberi pendedahan
sebenar tugas mereka. Pentadbir yang didapati tidak efisyen, hanya beri
arahan, tidak proaktif hendaklah diberi pilihan sama ada ditukarkan atau
menjadi guru biasa agar guna tenaga modal insan lebih optimum.
62) Lantikan pentadbir utama bukan fokus kepada gred DG48 sahaja tetapi
boleh libatkan DG44 sekiranya mereka lebih berkaliber dan optimis untuk
membantu pentadbiran sekolah.
63) Guru yang pernah menanggung kerja pentadbir hendaklah diutamakan
 kerana mereka lebih berminat, cekap dan sudah ada pengalaman aspek
pentadbiran, tambahan pula ada yang telah membuktikan kecemerlangan
yang dicapai.
64) Penjadualan aktiviti koko sepanjang tahun harus diberi perhatian..
kadang-kadang bertindih antara akademik dan koko.. guru yang menguruskan
koko dan akademik tertekan.. begitu juga pelajar.
Contohnya: Pertandingan kawad kaki peringkat kebangsaan selang dua hari
 dengan peperiksaan sebenar PT3.
65) Masih banyak sekolah yang kekurangan guru.. jadi banyak subjek
 diberikan pada guru yang kurang pengetahuan bagi subjek tersebut..
graduan kan banyak.. kenapa tak dihantar ke sekolah???? Pelik
66) Satu lagi, semua Ketua Bidang dan Guru Kanan Mata Pelajaran
hendaklah diberikan elaun kerana beban tugas mereka sama walaupun
 mereka di sekolah berbeza gred.
67) Mohon mewujudkan jawatan khas warden asrama bukan guru.
Guru yang ditugaskan menjadi warden berasa tertekan dan hilang
fokus kepada kerja hakiki kerana terpaksa bertugas 24 jam.
68) Memastikan bilangan murid dalam satu kelas tidak melebihi
25 orang
69) Mohon sukatan pelajaran Matematik dikurangkan dan rendah
 sikit tahap penguasaan terutama sekolah rendah, tidak dimasukkan
tajuk sekolah menengah supaya murid dapat kukuh fakta asas dan
 tajuk lain. Fikirkan sekali murid yang luar bandar.
70) Kaji semula frogvle:
- Selidik semula kemudahan infrastruktur:
*Komputer
*Internet
71) Selaraskan sistem online
- Jangan asingkan. Jadikan satu agar mudah guru nak update,
elak kekeliruan. Bila terlalu banyak sistem guru pun keliru mana satu.
- Jika sistem online dihimpunkan dalam satu tempat ia akan memudahkan
 guru, pihak PPD, JPN dan KPM untuk ‘trace & update.’
72) Wujudkan sistem pendidikan acuan sendiri (Malaysia)
- ‘Stop implement education’ dari negara luar.
- Kalau nak ambil pun, pastikan ia sesuai utk diamalkan di Malaysia.
73) Kaji semula infrastruktur/kemudahan asas di sekolah
- Kerusi dan meja yang lama perlu diganti.
74) Hentikan tambah pelbagai perkara dalam prasekolah. Saya faham
prasekolah tempat di mana murid amat mudah dibentuk dan diajar dengan
 perkara baharu tetapi, jika terlalu banyak perkara ditambah dalam kurikulum
dan aktiviti yang sedia ada. Saya khuatir guru pra tak dapat laksanakan dengan baik.
75) Beri peluang murid berinteraksi dgn golongan OKU. Agar murid tahu
bagaimana untuk berkomunikasi dan belajar cara menghormati golongan OKU.
- Lahirkan generasi yang peka dgn masyarakat.
- Belajar memahami individu yg kelainan upaya.
- Tanamkan sikap saling sayang menyayangi antara satu sama lain.
76) Hantar guru ke Finland setahun. Belajar daripada dasar pendidikan
terbaik dunia.
77) Rancangan Makanan Tambahan (RMT) diperkenalkan semula khusus
kepada pelajar daripada keluarga yang berpendapatan rendah.
78) Setiap kelas dilengkapi peralatan TV LCD atau projektor, Speaker
dan pendingin hawa.
79) Pelajar dalam kelas dihadkan hanya 25 orang.
80) Waktu rehat pelajar selama satu jam.
81) Waktu sekolah dari jam 8 pagi dan balik pada jam 1 petang.
82) Mata pelajaran Geografi wajib belajar dari tingkatan 1-5.
83) Semua bahagian seperti bahagian sekolah harian, SBP, TekVok,
BPi, Sek Sukan digabungkan menjadi satu. Lebihan pegawai di KPM
hantar ke sekolah jadi cikgu.
84) Kurangkan bilangan pegawai di PPD, kembali ke sekolah menjadi guru.
85) Ringankan beban pendidik drpd kerja2 pengkeranian, filling,
e- dll, agar pendidik lebih fokus dlm PDP.
86) Kaji semula sistem pendidikan, pelajar bukan tikus makmal. Sistem
dulu lebih baik dari sekarang dan tahap pendidikan lebih berkualiti.
Jangan kerana inginkan ramai anak yang berada dalam sistem
pendidikan, atau dapat ke menara gading, direndahkan martabat
pendidikan. Finland mempunyai sistem pendidikan yang terbaik.
87) Beri kelonggaran kepada guru untuk menjalankan pdpc mengikut
 kreativiti guru. Pdpc tidak sepatutnya hanya di kelas sahaja. Banyak
 sekolah tidak membenarkan program lain dijalankan pada waktu
persekolahan contohnya hari sukan, pertandingan minggu akademik
 pada hal aktiviti berikut juga merupakan elemen dalam pdpc.
88) Pengambilan guru akan datang perlu diutamakan kepada graduan
 yang layak sahaja bukannya mengambil guru yang belum mempunyai
ikhtisas dalam pendidikan.
89) Syarat menjadi pengetua bukan adanya NPQEL tetapi yang lebih
penting prestasi semasa, komitmen, pengalaman dan juga penilaian
daripada guru.
90) Guru diberi sedikit peluang utk menilai pengetua dan pentadbir
seperti mana pentadbir menilai guru.
91) Kurangkan bilangan murid dalam setiap bilik darjah kepada
15 hingga 20 murid sahaja
92) Hentikan sistem ranking sekolah bagi elakkan murid dilatih
untuk skor exam semata-mata dan bukannya untuk peningkatan kendiri
 pada masa akan datang.
93) Luluskan mohon tukar yang dah sekian lama tu, dah anak 4 pun tak
dapat lagi ikut suami
94) Tambah subjek wajib lulus PI dan BI.
95) Harap yuran sekolah tak bebankan ibu bapa.
96) Mohon Menteri Pendidikan baharu akan meletakkan syarat yang
ketat untuk makanan yang dijual di kantin sekolah. Cukup2 lah anak-anak
dihidangkan dengan nugget, sosej dan ‘serbamoknika’ makanan yang tidak
 sihat. Minda yang sihat terbina daripada fizikal yang sihat. Fizikal yang sihat,
berasal daripada pemakanan yang sihat.
97) Mesin fotostat yang canggih yang boleh asing kertas soalan ikut set
 dan staple.
98) Mohon kaji semula sukatan KSSM yang terlampau tinggi aras dan
tidak sesuai untuk tahap pelajar kebanyakan sukatan KSSM banyak
 campur tangan daripada pihak lain yang berkepentingan. Sepatutnya
 guru yang perlu sama duduk berbincang untuk menggubal sukatan.
99) Mansuh vle frog. Banyak lagi medium lain boleh guna.
Jangan tekan guru untuk menjawab surat tunjuk sebab tak capai
pengarah kpi penggunaan vle. Yang penting pdp sampai. Pelajar pun dapat
100) Gantikan peralatan komputer yang telah usang dan luput (PC dan Projector)
101) Hapuskan terus perjawatan yg tidak penting di PPD dan
JPN ( SIP dan SISC+, Sektor Jaminan Kualiti) Perkasakan
 Jamaah Nazir sekolah sudah mencukupi.
102) Salurkan peruntukan Pengurusan Pembangunan dan Perolehan
 terus ke PPD bagi mengelakkan birokrasi di JPN. Hapuskan perjawatan
Pembangunan dan Perolehan di JPN.
103) Kurangkan beban kerja guru dengan menghapuskan beberapa
 aplikasi sistem pengkalan data yang tidak efisyen. Cukup dengan
satu atau dua sistem sahaja seperti EMIS ( gabung semula eg guru
dan eg-tukar) dan APDM.
104) Penilaian Bersepadu Pegawai Perkhidmatan Pendidikan juga
harus dihapuskan kerana banyak mendatangkan isu dan masalah
serta membebankan pengurusan sekolah. Guna kaedah lain yang
lebih efektif dan mempunyai kebolehpercayaan.
105) Memperkasa semula fungsi Institut Pendidikan Guru seluruh negara
yang berperanan melatih guru sama ada di peringkat rendah atau menengah.
Kembalikan elaun bulanan bagi guru pelatih.

Open letter to Minister of Education Maszlee Malik — Arran Hamilton

Published 11 hours ago on 22 May 2018
MAY 22 — Firstly, my hearty congratulations to you on your appointment.
Churchill once said that “Where there is great power there is great responsibility.” This proclamation perhaps applies to ministers of education more than most. For education is an essential nutrient to the lifeblood of the rakyat.
It is education that nurtures and transmits those core enlightenment values of reason, scientific inquiry, liberty, progress, tolerance, constitutional government and inter-state cooperation. It is also education that prepares Malaysia’s children to thrive in a future world we can’t yet fully imagine.
As education minister, I am sure that you will be proffered advice from all manner of folk on what needs to be done to improve the education system. The funny thing about education is that, unlike rocket science or basket weaving, almost everyone has an opinion on what works best. We all feel qualified to opine because we have all been longtime consumers of the product.
Some will argue that more funding is the answer. Others will suggest that teaching assistants, reduced class sizes or a curriculum overhaul is the panacea to cure all ills. Yet others will argue that we need more autonomies for schools or even public-private partnerships.
Unfortunately, all too often, these proclamations are based on anecdote, folklore and intuition — rather than robust evidence of impact.
My hope is that the ministry draws on those core enlightenment values of reason and scientific inquiry in divining what works best for Malaysia’s education system. In this regard, I have two pieces of good news.
The first is that educational researchers have been busy. In the last 50 years they have conducted more than 80,000 high quality studies involving more than 300 million students, to answer that illusive question of what works. This means we have access The path is ever-so-slightly illuminated.
The second piece of good news is that almost everything the ministry could do has some evidence of impact. According to the global data, the only things that directly harm learning are to suspend students, hold them back a year, inflict corporal punishment, lengthen school holidays, bore them or make them feel disliked.
Everything else sorta works. A classroom with a living, breathing teacher is the minimum viable product and Malaysia has these in abundance.
Given that everything sorta works, the more pertinent question is what works best? And now for some counter-intuitive news:
  • It’s not about the money. The correlation between increasing school budgets and education outcomes is extremely low. Once a system has covered the basic costs of its teachers, buildings and teaching resources it quickly hits the law of diminishing returns. Each additional ringgit injected buys less and less improvement. And in purchasing power parity terms, Malaysia already has one of the better funded basic education systems.
  • It’s not about reducing class size. Many systems have experimented with smaller class sizes and while it has led to some improvement, this has been much less than expected. To take advantage of smaller groups, teachers need a lot of additional training and support. It’s more effective to simply provide that extra training without the additional expense of hiring extra teachers or building extra classrooms. And it’s worth noting that Malaysia already has one of the better student-teacher ratios in the world.
  • It’s not about hiring teaching assistants. To be sure, recruiting an army of teaching assistants will not harm learning. But the global data tells us that the massive additional staffing cost results in a below average gain in student achievement (or at least it did most of the other times it was tried). Where teaching assistants are deployed, teachers need significant training on how to work with them effectively. This training rarely happens: it’s expensive. And that additional high-quality teacher training on its own (i.e. minus the teaching assistants) is generally a more cost-effective way to improve student outcomes.
  • It’s not about the buildings. Turning each SMK into a clone of an international school campus will also have negligible return. We just need to ensure that the existing buildings have appropriate levels of lighting, temperature and acoustics and that they are free from health and safety risks. The rest is merely window dressing to learning.
  • It’s also not so much about the curriculum, school governance model, performance-related pay or external accountability systems. These are all structural things that are perhaps easier for Ministry officers to implement and to explain. But they have remarkably little impact on what happens inside classrooms when the doors are shut — because learning happens entirely in students’ heads.
So what is it about?
Largely it’s about teachers and what they believe. In the trade we call this Collective Teacher Efficacy. It basically means that where teachers believe, with every fibre of their being, that through their collective action they make a profound difference to student learning outcomes — they do.
It’s about the teacher’s ideology, their world view, their belief system, their theory of change. Belief is the key. Teachers that believe that the success or failure of their students is down to what they as teachers do in the classroom — are more effective.
Teachers that believe their central task is to evaluate the impact that they have on learning — are far more effective. Teachers that collaborate, form positive relationships and that enjoy the challenge of continually improving are [drumroll] far more effective.
The research tells us that reframing teachers’ beliefs is eight times more powerful than reducing class sizes or increasing school funding; five times more powerful than hiring teaching assistants or implementing new school governance models; and 15 times more powerful than charter schools or performance-related pay.
Teachers with high levels of collective efficacy are more successful because they are more evidence-informed about the actions they take and the strategies they use. Evidence-informed teachers engage in inquiry cycles where they experiment with pedagogies (interactions) that the research suggests are more effective.
These include: Building on students prior learning, using formative assessment, co-construction (setting clear learning intentions, success criteria and exemplars) and sharing power in the classroom (students working co-operatively and teachers and students learning with and from each other).
I suspect we won’t have to travel far to see examples of teachers and leaders with the right stuff. Although Malaysia has not scored as high as it might have wished in various international student assessment exercises — there are pockets of schools that are up there with the best that Hong Kong, Japan and Finland have to offer.
And I suspect they are achieving this within the existing structures, funding and governance arrangements — because of their collective teacher beliefs.
To be sure, scaling this up is hard. But it’s not impossible. It takes time because it requires educators to question and re-question their ingrained and sacred assumptions about what works best; and for the Ministry to provide a structured framework, support and permission for educators to engage in that mental acrobatics and classroom experimentation.
If the ministry invests unwaveringly in building that attitudinal cult of excellence, it is far more likely to unleash the latent talent that already resides in the system. This means all educators systematically questioning, trialing, evaluating and iterating based on the probabilities in the existing evidence-base, so that we collectively privilege evidence of impact above all else.
So, it’s more about the software (or mindware) than the hardware. And we enhance that mindware by nurturing relationships of trust and collaboration, and by coaxing educators to never stop evaluating the impact of what they do.
Godspeed, Maszlee.

LETTER TO DAD - A world For You And me


“A World For You And Me”
My dad has always been there for me, from my first loose tooth to my college graduation. No matter what, he always loved me even when I was a brat. My dad worked hard during my childhood, he’d always tell me he wasn’t tired but I knew he was. He’d just smile and say, “Pooja, you make me very happy. You, your mother and sisters. Never forget those who love you when you grow up.” Those words stuck with me till date and I never forgot about those who love me. My father was a great man, even if he didn’t know it.
          I’ve never realized my dad’s pain and sadness trying to keep us happy, I never knew he’d stay up all night making sure we were safe at night. I never knew he cried at work thinking about us. I always thought my dad was strong and nothing could hurt us with him around. He loved and cared for us so much, I wish I could thank him for all that he has done for us. He always protects us, even when he was too tired to fight anymore.
          I was born on the 15th September 2002 and my dad said it was the happiest moment in his life. He said that I smiled at him the first moment he held me in his arms. He said I was the most beautiful child he ever saw, and he still says I’m beautiful.
          My father took me to first day of school and almost cried. As he saw, he was going to have to leave me all by myself. I smiled at my dad and he said “Pooja, you need to do your very best and make lots of friends. Don’t worry. Daddy will be right here for you. I love you sweetheart” and he stayed by my class door the entire day not wanting to leave. He wanted to protect me from everyone even though he knew I was safe. He smiled as I walked to school by myself but I knew he was sad he couldn’t come with me so I held his hand and walked him to school with me so he wouldn’t be sad anymore. He smiled and kissed my cheek and I walked into my classroom.
           Once I asked daddy if he could teach me how to ride a bike; he smiled at me and kissed my forehead saying “Yes my blossom, anything for you”. It took him 3 months before he could buy my first bike. I was so excited. I hugged my father tightly with rolling tears. He looked at me; his eyes gleaming with tears that are yet to fall. “Pooja, I love you so much I cannot see you shed any tears” he wiped my tears away as he held me tight.
          The next day he began teaching me how to ride y tricycle. He instructed me the steps to ride the tricycle; I nodded and he began pushing the tricycle slowly then he let go and said “See Pooja, you’re doing it all by yourself”. I smiled at him but without looking my tricycle hit a curb and I fell face first into the grass. Dad ran as fast as he could towards me and picked me up in his arms and kept saying that it’ll be ok. He kept smiling while looking concerned hoping I was alright. A few months after that, I finally learned how to ride a bicycle because of daddy.
          When I was 10, my father got us a surprise in which he wouldn’t tell us what it was till that night, being that it was my birthday, my dad decided to get me a puppy. He smiled at me as the puppy began licking my face he kneeled down to me and said softly “Well sweetie, what do you want to call him?” I thought for a second and said “Pablo”. Daddy told me it was a great name; he smiled at me and petted Pablo’s small head.
*A few months later*
          One fine day, I came home from school and called for Pablo. He usually runs towards me to get patted and to play with me but this time he didn’t show up. I called for him again and again. He still didn’t show up. I found mom and asked “Mom, have you seen Pablo?” Mom looked at me sadly and said that something had happened to Pablo. Involuntarily, tears started to roll down my cheeks. Dad then came into the room with a blanket in his hands and I began crying as I hear dad saying “Pablo is gone”. He uncovers the blanket and I see Pablo’s lifeless body covered in blood and I grab dad’s waist and hugged him tightly letting my tears roll off my cheek and onto him. That day, we had a funeral for Pablo at our backyard. That was the toughest day of my life. I cried the whole day thinking about Pablo. It took me weeks to recover from Pablo’s loss.
          My father was worried when I first started high school. I think he was worried I’d end up hanging out with the wrong crowd like how my sister did. He knew I was a smart girl and that I would know the right thing to do but he still scared. Insecurity to be accurate. “Pooja, you need to do your very best and make lots of friends and don’t worry, I’ll be right here for you. I love you, okay?” I smiled at my dad and hugged him tightly as I walked to school. I looked at him and grabbed his hand then walked to school with my dad because I didn’t care what anyone thought. I love my dad.
          A few months into school year, I finally got a boyfriend. Though my dad wasn’t too keen on me having a boyfriend but he accepted him. My boyfriend smiled as he first met my dad and said “Hello Sir, I’m Akash”. My dad looked at him sternly then looked at me and smiled. He then greeted Akash. However, my relationship didn’t last long and dad knew I was heartbroken. He would often leave small notes and treats in my room trying to make me happy including a small stuffed teddy bear. He came into my room one night and hugged me as I cried into his chest; he kept saying that everything will be fine.
          My dad was so proud of me when I graduated high school. He was smiling throughout the entire graduation; he hugged me when I walked towards him with my certificate. He had tears in his eyes and said “Sweetie, I’m so proud of you that now you’ve graduated high school”. I smiled and told dad that I had a surprise for him that’ back home.
          We got home and he asked me what the surprise was, I grabbed a letter and told him to read it. He read it and smiled big; nearly screaming “YOU GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!”. He hugged me and tears streamed down his moist cheeks and he kissed my cheeks saying “You did it Pooja. Be who you want to be. Be the best in being you. You’re good at that.” He then chuckled at his own statement. I smiled at him and said “I will dad. I Love you so much. That’s not all. There’s another surprise waiting for you in the reading room.”
          At the corner of the reading where we sit and read; daddy’s favourite place of all other places in the house, it was dimly lit by a small chandelier. Dad was a little surprised and confused to see another envelope on the table. “It’s a letter. To you.” “Who is it from?” “Me of course.” *I giggled* Dad patted my head and read-

            Dear Dad,
        I write to you not only as your daughter, but as one of many daughters who know the unique intricacies of the lessons only their fathers could teach them. I write to you because out of every helping hand I have received in this world, you receive the least amount of credit and praise for the things you do. You’ve always stood back and let me shine, only stepping in when I call for you knowing you can’t be more than a short distance away. It’s time I use these words to pull you and every other remarkable father into the light you so deserve to be seen in. It’s time that light radiates on the genuine and extraordinary love only you could have shown me.
        A father teaches his daughter many lessons about what it means to truly love and experience this life. One of the most critical understandings he can portray to the young eyes beaming up at him is the notion of how she should be treated. Dad, I remember everything. I remember being tucked in at night and kissed good-bye before you left for work. I remember every time my sister and I made you dress up in crowns and feather boas, and play with our dolls. I remember every piggy-back ride and backyard game. I remember every chocolate sundae and long talk shared on drives home from practices. I remember every time you selflessly did what I wanted, and never asked for anything in return. I remember every display of overwhelming patience and grace you showed me. I remember it all, because it lives in the heart of a daughter forever.
        Often a dependable and trustworthy father figure can become a scarcity today, so for those of us blessed enough to be graced with one like you, we feel the strength of that presence. We watched the way you ran to get the car for us in the rain or wiped our tears away after a boy broke our hearts. We let those images engrave themselves on our young and transforming hearts as we grew into young women. We learned to love the way we were loved by you. We had high expectations because you set the bar high. We had high hopes because you taught us that love from another should be respectful, honest and encouraging. As a father, you taught so much more than a daughter could ever articulate.
        Dad, you were the first man I ever loved. You held me, played with me, supported me and let me grow. Your patience, quiet notion of complete understanding and unwavering love made me the woman I am today. You believed in me first. You danced with me first. You gave me all I could have ever needed, because you gave me love. And by giving me love, you taught me what love is and also what it isn’t. You showed me that love is being strong and humble, while also loving one’s self enough to reach for the stars. Love is respect and support on all of life’s endeavors. You’ve packed up that red truck and brought me to every new adventure my heart needed to go on. You’ve held me tight and told me I could do anything.
        One day you’ll walk me down the aisle to another man, chosen in the image of how you taught me to be loved. When I let go of your arm I hope you know that my heart is molded in the shape of the love you showed me. I hope you know I’m never really letting go because I know that through any stage I encounter or dream I decide to chase, you’re still back there watching me, and waiting for my call. I know that in my heart there is no love like the first love, and that part of me will always belong to daddy.
            Forever,
            Your Little Girl

Upon reading, dad got up and pulled me into his tight hug. I tightened my hug and we le go after a while. “I love you sweetie” he said with a wide and sweet smile. “I love you too daddy.”  He pecked a kiss on my forehead and led me out indulge the best home food made by mom specially to celebrate my success.
          A few months later, I was in in my first year of University and I felt like I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t concentrate, couldn’t eat or sleep. I grabbed my phone and called dad.
“Hello?”
“Dad, it’s me, Pooja.”
“Pooja! Hello, how are you? How are your studies? How’s everything? Tell me about your classes.”
“Hehe, I’m fine dad. Studies are going kind of rough, and I wanted to call because…”
“Because…..?”
“Because… I… I.. I don’t think I can do this anymore.” *sobbing*
“What’s wrong Pooja? Is everything alright?”
“I feel like I can’t do anything right.”
“Pooja, you’ll be fine. I trust you. You can do it! You are perfect. Just don’t stress too much about it, OK?”
“Yes dad… Ummmmm….. Dad?”
“Hmmmmmm… Yes?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too sweetie. Miss your presence here.”
“I miss you too dad.”
We hung up and this scenario often happened every now and then until I completed my Degree. Degree was full of stress, struggle, pain and hardwork, but it was all worth it. I wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for my dad. He was my utmost motivation.
          I finally graduated and visited my dad, he was close to 60 years old and had cataracts in his left eye. He had slight dementia but was manageable, my mom passed away a year ago and he has been depressed ever since. I smile as I entered the old house; my dad smiled and got up slowly. He hugged me, then sat back down in his old wicker rocking chair and looked out of the window. “Dad, how have you been?” my dad looked at me with a slight sadness in his eyes and said “I’m fine sweetie”. I smiled because I haven’t heard that calling in years. I hugged my dad not wanting to let go of him. “Dad?” I said to him as I held my head to his chest. He looked down at me and smiled slightly. With tears in my eyes, I said “Dad… I don’t want you to go.” “Pooja, where would I go?” “I don’t want to be alone on this planet without you” I cried on his chest. Dad put his frail hands on my head and said “Sweetie, I’ll always be in your heart. Just remember that for me, OK?”
          I smiled and said “Dad, I’m moving in with you so that I can take care of you like you took care of mom and us.” Dad looked at me sadly and said “Pooja, I wouldn’t want to bother you. You go live your life sweetie.” I held my dad a little tighter and said “Dad, you are my life. I love you. I’m moving in with you and I’m going to make our lives an unforgettable memory. A world for you and me Dad. Just you… and me. To compensate to all the times we missed each other’s company.” My dad lightly patted my head and pecked a soft weak kiss on my head. I tightened my hug for a little more longer and let go; kissed daddy’s cheek.

7 Tips To Raise Successful Kids

According to Science, Parents Who Raise Successful  Kids Do These 7 Things

  •  







It’s every parents ultimate goal to raise successful
 kids in 
whatever matter they see fit.
We all strive for them to better themselves and naturally grow into 
well adjusted adults. Someone who feel a sense of purpose and 
fulfillment with their lives.
For a long time now, scientist have been studying the actions parents 
take and the factors they have on their children and the influence it has on
 their level of success.
And while the methods may vary depending on a child’s personality, there 
are some definitive things you can do to make sure your child is better 
positioned to be a successful adult.

1. Make them do chores.

Teaching your child responsibility for the environment around them is 
an important lesson to learn early on. It lets them know that things to 
don’t just magically get done by others.
They are a part of making their surroundings a better place to live in for
 themselves and those around them.
In a 2015 Ted Talk, Juile Lythcott-Haims came to the conclusion that the
 majority of “successful adult participants” in her Harvard University 
study did chores as a kid.

2. Limit their screen time.

Long exposures to television, tablet or cell phone screens can have terrible long 
term effects on the undeveloped child’s brain.
It severely shortens their attention spans and stunts their verbal and social skills.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics the set recommendations 
for a child’s screen time depending on age go as follows:
18 months and younger: No screen time at all, except for video chatting.
18-24 months: Parents who choose to introduce digital media should choose
 high-quality programming. You should also watch it with your children to 
help them understand what they’re seeing.
2 to 5 years: limit screen use to 1 hour per day of high-quality programs. 
Parents should co-view media with children to help them understand what 
they are seeing and apply it to the world around them.
6 and older: place consistent limits on the time spent using media, and the types 
of media, and make sure media does not take the place of adequate sleep, physical 
activity and other behaviors essential to health.
They also ask that you designate media-free times together. This can be things
 such as dinner or driving, as well as media-free locations at home, such as bedrooms.

3. Read to Them

Other than the sweet bliss of cuddling up with your little bundle of joy and
 taking them on a literary adventure, reading to them at a young age has been 
scientifically proven to give them a “lasting literacy boost.”
It’s also been proven to provide lasting verbal skills and help will problem solving.

4. Delay instant gratification

The idea to give your child instant gratification for every little thing they do 
could severely damage them as adults.
It can desensitize them to reward and they begin to expect it without much if 
not any work.
When you teach your child patience and persistence before getting rewarded,
 it sets them up for taking on more difficult tasks in the future.

5. Let them fail

Sheltering your kid from failure could be one of the worst things you could do.
While it may hurt to see our child fail at something, it’s one of the best things 
you can do for them.
It helps one to realize things don’t come easy. If we really want something, 
we are going to have to change our habits, and better ourselves.
Failure also humbles them into understanding that they can’t and won’t win 
all the time.

6.Encourage them to Travel

Traveling is one of the most transformative experience for someone to undergo. 
It opens you up to new cultures and ways of living.
Exposing your child to travel early will expand their consciousness beyond the 
limitation of any little towns small mindset that one can fall in to.
The Student and Youth Travel Association recently released a surveythat analyzed
 the effects travel has on students in the US.
Among many beneficial effects, they found that travel helped students increase
 their curiosity and willingness to learn, explore and grow.
They also concluded that it made students more tolerant and respectful of different
 people and cultures.

7. Encourage their passions

Whatever your child is showing an interest in, make sure you fan those flames. 
Let them know you support their talents and encourage them to pursue it as far as
 they can.
Most parents like to push their children into things they think would be the best
 for them, even if they don’t like it.
But the best thing you can do for them is let them see where their own passions take them.
