            <title>MBA</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4956280</link>
            <description>Looking to do my MBA but not sure where to do. I&amp;#39;m working and have family commitment, prefer executive type of MBA so it won&amp;#39;t burden me too much to balance between work and study. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thought of doing it at MMU they have the executive MBA. Most public uni dont offer executive MBA. Is there any other option for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.</description>

            <title>Slow Samsung S20 sales</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4915691</link>

However, news of lower sales figures versus the Galaxy S10 series doesn&amp;#39;t come as a complete surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also don&amp;#39;t have sales figures specifically for the high-end (and hyper-expensive) Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, so it&amp;#39;s not clear whether the number above relates to just the S20, or the Ultra and S20 Plus too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fGjPYfbpsDFL4vpTYXy3Ad-650-80.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Galaxy S20 is just less popular&lt;br /&gt;We&amp;#39;ve been tracking the Samsung Galaxy S20 for months, and we&amp;#39;ve seen less consumer interest in the handset in the build up to its launch back on February 11, 2020 compared to the Galaxy S10 in 2019.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Google Trends data, the spike in interest at launch time for the Galaxy S20 was around half that of the interest around the Galaxy S10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s a big difference between the two generations, but one which isn&amp;#39;t totally unexpected. Smartphone launches tend to follow a tick-tock cadence, with a &amp;#39;tick&amp;#39; year usually giving us a new handset with ground-breaking features, followed by a &amp;#39;tock&amp;#39; year where a new handset gets more incremental updates over the previous version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Galaxy S10 was a &amp;#39;tick&amp;#39; year for Samsung, as it looked to reboot its flagship line with a trio of handsets (in the S10e, S10 and S10 Plus), plus a bonus fourth offering in the form of the Galaxy S10 5G. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means 2020 is a &amp;#39;tock&amp;#39; year for the brand, with the Samsung Galaxy S20 series building on the foundations built by the S10, but ultimately not providing the same level of revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s still early days for the Galaxy S20 though, and the range is currently only on sale in Korea - meaning there&amp;#39;s plenty of time and scope for Samsung to secure huge sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra go on sale in the US, Australia and the Middle East on March 6, and the handsets will then hit the UK and Europe on March 13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/samsung-galaxy-s20-sales-off-to-a-slow-start-but-why' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/samsung-g...w-start-but-why&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Let&amp;#39;s learn from Singapore education system</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4887633</link>
            <description>&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;&lt;img src='https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/05nt18kodm_1578240066.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LETTERS: AFTER 62 years of independence, there is only a slight sign of racial integration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What has prevented racial integration? It is our education system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every country has only one language as medium of instruction in schools, bringing students of all races together, moulding their thoughts of togetherness in their young minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a universally-accepted fact that thoughts instilled in young ones mould their perception and character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can look at Singapore as an example. Although the majority of the population is Chinese, they don’t have Chinese schools. They have only one language — English — as the medium of instruction, while allotting school hours for Chinese, Malay and Tamil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chinese don’t make any fuss about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this way, Singaporeans have a unified national conviction that they are Singaporeans. The same is seen in Thailand and Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time has come for Malaysia to adopt the same procedure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There should be no vernacular schools in the country. All schools must be national schools with Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few periods can be allotted for Chinese and Tamil when Muslim students have religious classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am positive that this is the only way to bring about racial integration and national harmony in the country. Otherwise, we cannot envisage racial unity even in the next 100 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government must be firm and not get bogged down by objections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This transformation must be brought about by latest the end of next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, there will never be an end to polarisation, which will spark off racial tension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khat, or Jawi, should not be enforced on students of other races.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romanised Malay has been accepted by all. Let us keep only to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AZIM SAMAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ipoh, Perak&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The views expressed in this article are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect those of the New Straits Times&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.nst.com.my/opinion/letters/2020/01/553747/lets-learn-singapore?fbclid=IwAR3mA7XDnbEdRB8A7MStYTKgAQ2AV4gGsujtAbrl07lLjCH70E0sN0fzWFg' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.nst.com.my/opinion/letters/2020...jCH70E0sN0fzWFg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

            <title>Lim Lian Geok, Dong Zong dilucut warganegara</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4885999</link>
            <description>&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;&lt;img src='https://i1.wp.com/kuseman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_3211.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;img src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6CKa3PiYU8Y/TN_dsmexcNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/bfg9U6maiP4/s1600/71139_175318512074_1850912_n.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anda jangan ingat isu bantahan Dong Zong terhadap tulisan Jawi baru-baru ini adalah yang paling besar. Isu ini kecil sahaja, berbanding apa yang pernah berlaku pada tahun 1961.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tetapi syukurlah kerana ketika itu Menteri Pelajaran adalah Abdul Rahman Talib dan Pengarah Pelajaran pula Dr Aminuddin Baki maka sistem pendidikan negara dapat dipertahankan sebaiknya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kalau ketika itu Menteri Pelajaran jenis &amp;#39;lembik&amp;#39;, sibuk kejar populariti dan asyik main politik, memang sistem pendidikan negara dah lama rosak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jangan harap bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa pengantar lagi seperti sekarang. Mungkin negara kita dah lama amalkan sistem pendidikan pelbagai bahasa pengantar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebenarnya tahun 1961 adalah antara tahun yang bersejarah dalam sistem pendidikan negara ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inilah ketikanya di mana pengasas Dong Zong, Lim Lian Geok telah dilucutkan kewarganegaraan Malaysia oleh kerajaan kerana tindakan beliau membantah keputusan kerajaan berkaitan Laporan Pelajaran Rahman Talib 1960 dan Akta Pelajaran 1961.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ini berikutan bantahan keras beliau khususnya terhadap Perkara 21 (2) yang memberi kuasa kepada Menteri Pelajaran untuk menukarkan mana mana Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SRJKC) menjadi sekolah kebangsaan sepenuhnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau juga &amp;#39;mengamuk&amp;#39; bila Abdul Rahman Talib telah berjaya memujuk 53 buah Lembaga Pengelola sekolah menengah persendirian Cina (SMPC) untuk menjadi sekolah menengah Jenis kebangsaan Cina (SMJKC).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hanya 16 buah sekolah pensendirian Cina sahaja yang bertegas menolak tawaran beliau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekolah persendirian Cina yang pertama bersetuju menjadi sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan ialah Penang Chung Ling High School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pengetua Chung Ling High School, Mr. Wang Yoon Nien dan Pengerusi Lembaga Pengelola, Mr. Ong Keng Seng telah digelar sebagai pengkhianat besar pendidikan Cina oleh para pemimpin dan penyokong Dong Zong di seluruh negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jadi jangan kita lupa, ramai juga tokoh pendidikan Cina yang turut menjadi &amp;#39;mangsa&amp;#39; sifat perkauman Dong Zong sejak dulu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain mereka berdua, dua tokoh masyarakat Cina yang menjadi ahli jawatankuasa Laporan Rahman Talib iaitu Mr. Leong Yew Koh dan Mr. Ong Yoke Lin juga digelar pengkhianat oleh penyokong Dong Zong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Orang Melayu kena tahu sejarah ini. Ramai orang Cina yang mempunyai semangat kebangsaan yang tinggi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mereka sanggup menerima berbagai kejian dari kumpulan Dong Zong semata-mata ingin bersama pemimpin Melayu membina sebuah sistem pendidikan kebangsaan di negara ini. Pengorbanan mereka ini jarang didendangkan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kesabaran kerajaan ada hadnya. Ada ketikanya ketegasan perlukan tindakan. Akibat bantahan berterusan Lim Lian Geok yang ketika itu memimpin Dong Zong, kewarganegaraan beliau telah dilucutkan pada 19 Ogos 1961.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selepas beliau, tiada seorang pun pimpinan kanan Dong Zong berani menawarkan diri sebagai pemimpin Dong Zong yang baru.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mungkin mereka mula takut akan menerima nasib yang sama. Mereka nampaknya sudah dapat isyarat jelas dari kerajaan, &amp;quot;kalau berani, cubalah...&amp;#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Begitulah ketegasan kerajaan ketika itu khususnya Menteri Pelajaran dalam memastikan sistem pendidikan negara ini tidak diganggu gugat oleh mana mana pihak yang mempunyai kepentingan kaum masing masing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jadi jangan anda ingat tak ada orang yang pernah dilucutkan kewarganegaraan kerana isu membantah sistem pendidikan negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain Lim Lian Geok, penasihat Dong Zong ketika itu bernama Yan Yuan Zhang juga turut menerima tindakan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disebabkan beliau menetap di Singapura, beliau telah diharamkan masuk ke Tanah Melayu atas arahan kerajaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sistem pendidikan adalah &amp;#39;jiwa negara&amp;#39; ini. Kerajaan bertanggungjawab memastikan &amp;#39;jiwa negara&amp;#39; ini dipelihara. Menteri Pelajaran adalah &amp;#39;guardian&amp;#39; sistem pendidikan negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malaysia bertuah kerana pernah mempunyai pemimpin yang tegas dalam mempertahankan sistem pendidikan negara pada tahun-tahun yang mencabar dulu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Semoga kerajaan hari ini juga mempunyai ketegasan yang sama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;p/s: semua fakta di atas saya petik dari bahan bacaan ilmiah dan kajian Phd.

            <title>UiTM Actuarial Science gains highest accreditation</title>

Today, the Centre for Actuarial Studies has successfully produced thousands of graduates who are sought after in the industry. Holding a graduate employability (GE) rate of more than 90% in 2017, most of the graduates are mainly working in the insurance and banking sectors. Recently, on 7th November 2019, the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Actuarial Science achieved another milestone when it got accreditation by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), United Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This recognition provides students who graduate in BSc (Hons) in Actuarial Science from UiTM to get professional exemptions on a few subjects such as Actuarial Statistics, Actuarial Mathematics, Business Finance and Business Economics based on the IFoA new curriculum effective March 2020 intake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can proudly say that UiTM is the first public university in Malaysia which has received the highest number of exemptions for actuarial science professional papers. The faculty is currently working hard to get the exemption for one more module, Actuarial Statistics. It is their hope to get full accreditation by IFoA before semester March 2020 commences. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://qswownews.com/uitms-actuarial-science-degree-gains-the-highest-accreditation-from-ifoa-uk/' target='_blank'&gt;https://qswownews.com/uitms-actuarial-scien...n-from-ifoa-uk/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Tun Razak would be proud of Salwani and Saadatul</title>

            <description>&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;&lt;img src='https://assets.theedgemarkets.com/Frankly-Speaking_1_theedgemarkets_73.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Tun Abdul Razak was prime minister, he stated in an address to the civil service: “As civil servants, I hope you will stand up to us politicians, and not allow yourselves to be dominated by us. Because in a true democracy, the civil servants have a duty to perform. The future of our country’s democratic way of life is dependent on you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Razak would have been very proud of the two brave civil servants who stood up against instructions they felt were against the interests of the nation. They are Nor Salwani Muhammad and her immediate superior Saadatul Nafisah Bashir Ahmad. From the National Audit Department, the brave women were in the team that conducted a special audit on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) in 2015.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week, revelations were made at the 1MDB audit tampering trial of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who, ironically, is Razak’s son, about how the two public servants did their best to stop attempts to cover up damaging parts of the audit report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blocked from taking minutes of a meeting called in early 2016 to amend the report, Salwani secretly put a tape recorder into the pencil case of her immediate boss Saadatul, who had been allowed to remain in the meeting room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the recording, Saadatul was heard speaking out against the instruction given by her ultimate boss, Chief Secretary Tan Sri Ali Hamsa, and Najib’s then senior private secretary Tan Sri Shukry Mohd Salleh, to delete parts deemed to be politically damaging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her objection proved futile because those at the meeting, like Ali Hamsa and the then Auditor-General Tan Sri Amrin Buang, caved in to Najib’s demands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instructions were also given to destroy all copies of the original audit report but Salwani kept one copy. Today, that copy and the audio recording are critical to the framing of the charges against Najib and Arul Kanda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kudos to Salwani and Saadatul. We are sure there are many more brave public servants like them and hope there will be even more going forward. Civil servants must stand up to politicians in power and say no when they are asked to do something that is illegal and against the national interest.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/frankly-speaking-tun-razak-would-be-proud-salwani-and-saadatul?fbclid=IwAR2akMIUu0tRDe6n7x-Is56ADI9s0w72F0gwq7L66jimtvrtXvQVUaZYWMo#.XdtZyBbDEi8.facebook' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/fran...BbDEi8.facebook&lt;/a&gt;</description>

Kata-kata abang menyedarkan saya lalu ambil keputusan belajar kemahiran di ABM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Masa mula-mula kerja gaji saya hanya RM1,400. Tahun 2010, saya diberi kepercayaan jadi jurukimpal di laut syarikat swasta dengan pendapatan mencecah RM19,000 sebulan,” katanya ketika ditemui pada Program TVET Pembinaan Edisi Terengganu dan Pertandingan WorldSkills Malaysia Belia (WSMB) di Akademi Binaan Malaysia (ABM) Wilayah Timur, Jenagor, di sini semalam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dia yang mempunyai tiga anak berusia antara dua hingga enam tahun kini berkhidmat sebagai jurukimpal pelantar minyak sebuah syarikat milik Amerika Syarikat di Arab Saudi sejak tiga tahun lalu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebelum Arab Saudi, dia pernah merasai pengalaman berkhidmat di negara China, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Amerika Syarikat, Dubai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muhammad Qamarul Auji, dari Kuala Terengganu pula kini mampu berbangga apabila berjaya menubuhkan syarikat kimpalan, perpaipan dan fabrikasi di Kemaman dan menggaji lebih 80 pekerja yang majoritinya lepasan bidang kemahiran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Keputusan SPM memang saya tidak layak masuk universiti. Biasalah, ada juga rakan yang mengejek saya kerana keputusan SPM teruk tetapi saya tidak marah kerana saya sendiri yang tidak mahu belajar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sampai satu tahap, saya rasa ingin memajukan diri sendiri jadi saya pun mula mencari jalan dan melakukan pencarian di internet sehinggalah saya terjumpa maklumat mengenai ABM dan sambung belajar di sana,” katanya yang mengambil sijil dalam bidang perpaipan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suami kepada Nurul Asma Shafie, 31, itu berkata, dia bekerja makan gaji selama lapan tahun sebagai jururegah dengan gaji permulaan RM1,200 sebulan dan kemudian mengambil keputusan membuka syarikat sendiri pada tahun 2014 selepas berjaya mengumpul modal secukupnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohd Faizal yang juga bekerja di Arab Saudi dan pernah memperoleh pendapatan lebih RM20,000 sebulan berkata, bidang kemahiran banyak membuka dimensi baharu kepadanya selepas gagal meraih keputusan cemerlang dalam pelajaran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurut Faizal, hasil pendapatan itu dia kini mampu menghantar ibunya, Esah Mamat menunaikan ibadah haji dan umrah selain membeli aset dengan tunai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Saya tidak sangka, kursus Sijil Kimpalan di ABM mengubah hidup saya dan anak-anak muda yang tidak memperoleh keputusan baik dalam pendidikan harus mengambil peluang ceburkan diri dalam bidang kemahiran,” katanya yang berasal dari Kuala Terengganu.&lt;br /&gt;Artikel Penuh : &lt;a href='https://www.sinarharian.com.my/article/53163/EDISI/Terengganu/Dulu-gagal-SPM-sekarang-gaji-RM19000-sebulan?fbclid=IwAR2jstVMS18fObnaaZqxVoxlcZgLaFyo0Xzktw6uVkdRYdPb2k5eLisrKVU' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.sinarharian.com.my/article/5316...YdPb2k5eLisrKVU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2018 Hakcipta Terpelihara Kumpulan Karangkraf&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

Lets sign this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vernacular school was introduced and the impact to Malaysia is social divide.  There are interest groups that doesn&amp;#39;t want to accept single national identity, but does not have enough statesmen to push Malaysia forward.  The vernacular school system is currently holding Malaysian progressing forward as a nation.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defending vernacular school means with holding progress of a nation.  Thus, for the sake of Malaysian future.  Vernacular school in Malaysia is now irrelevant to progress and should be abolish.  It has been proven by so many countries,  the country succeed through single national stream systems.</description>
