            <title>B40 Bumi Students Not well prepared for Economy</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5561271</link>
            <description>[twt]https://twitter.com/SyedAkramin/status/2043163498939887952[/twt]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;If, as I wrote previously, income and housing reflect inequality in the country today, then education has helped to reproduce it — again and again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Access to education in Malaysia is not the problem — we can have our children begin schooling as early as six, or even younger. The real challenges lie in the quality of teaching, the relevance of the curriculum, and the choice of medium of instruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Since the late 1990s, the expansion of tahfiz and other non-standard religious schooling pathways has created a parallel system, often operating outside the national curriculum and with limited emphasis on STEM or technical skills, not to mention using untrained and unqualified teachers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religious education has its place. But allowing these parallel systems to expand without integration into the national framework has been a huge policy failure, resulting in societal deficits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, the consequences are visible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A large segment of students, largely from lower-income Bumiputera families, enters the workforce without the skills required for a modern economy.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their options are constrained not by choice, but by design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a failure of individuals. It is a failure of our education policy, compounded by political indecision, a tendency toward analysis-paralysis, as well as an unjustified and prolonged fear of political backlash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a critical moment at the turn of this century, the government had the opportunity to regulate and integrate these institutions. That opportunity was not taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The legacy of decisions made during the era of&amp;nbsp; Dr Mahathir Mohamad continues to shape outcomes today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ignoring this reality does not make it disappear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jobs and mobility: a system that cannot scale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These structural weaknesses carry directly into the labour market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graduate underemployment remains a persistent issue, with many diploma and degree holders working in roles that do not match their qualifications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Employers frequently cite gaps in critical thinking, technical capability and job readiness.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Bumiputeras remain heavily represented in the public sector, which employs around 1.7 million people, this model and approach is no longer sustainable as a primary pathway for upward mobility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more decent, productive and well-paid jobs are found in the private sector, particularly in high-growth industries that reward skills, networks and exposure. However, these positions are beyond the reach of the current education systems and pathways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resetting the system&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If inequality, particularly among the B40 and lower M40, is to be addressed meaningfully, &lt;b&gt;the next generation of political leaders must move beyond defending legacy policies.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They must be willing to reset them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, &lt;b&gt;shift from race-based to needs-based policies.&lt;/b&gt; Assistance should prioritise the bottom 40% across all communities to ensure it reaches those who genuinely need it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, overhaul how opportunities are allocated. Scholarships, government contracts, and GLC-linked programmes must be transparently awarded based on merit and clear socio-economic criteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, rebuild education around skills. Strengthening TVET, STEM and entrepreneurship must take precedence over pathways that limit employability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth, expand access to financing. Without more inclusive lending models, entrepreneurship will remain confined to those with existing capital and political connections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifth, reduce structural barriers to enterprise. Streamlining regulations and dismantling monopolistic practices are essential to enable fair competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sixth, invest beyond Klang Valley. Transport and connectivity are not luxuries, they are prerequisites for economic participation and should be standardised across all regions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, redefine the role of the state. The government must act as an enabler, not a dominant market participant. It should get out of businesses. Madani Mart would not exist if price controls had been more effective and efficient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government cannot be both player and referee in the same arena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A test of political courage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The New Economic Policy was shaped by the realities of the 1970s. Malaysia today is a very different country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continuing to recycle old frameworks without confronting their failures risks deepening the very inequalities they were meant to resolve.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The responsibility now lies with a new generation of political leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they are serious about governing the country, then they must be equally serious about reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They must be willing to confront the policies that have failed, and take decisive action to correct them. This includes restructuring or even dismantling institutions that no longer serve their purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not rebranding. Not repackaging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inequality is no longer a peripheral issue. It is central to Malaysia’s economic future, social and political stability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new political grouping must have the political courage to deliver it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2026/04/12/inequality-in-malaysia-rooted-in-failure-of-education-policy' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/...ducation-policy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A critical view on the Bumi B40 competitiveness.

Incidentally, I find it very concerning and also regrettable that no alternative investigations were carried out.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that a study on reproduction, fertility, pregnancy and newborn development had not been done to the necessary standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that in the countries of the European Union, the birth rate had decreased steadily after the beginning of the Covid vaccination campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A reproductive toxicity study in rats for (the mRNA vaccine) for Cominarty was conducted inadequately, and an important side effect, early abortions was not taken seriously.

Once the relationship is stable they start to force the guy into what they wish him to be.&lt;br /&gt;Ladies please take note.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Child abuse at unlicensed children home.</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5560176</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;Four arrested after 10-year sexual abuse at unlicensed children&amp;#39;s home exposed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BATU CAVES: A decade-long nightmare of alleged sexual abuse at an unlicensed children&amp;#39;s home in Taman Selayang Permata has been exposed, with four individuals — including its operator — now in police custody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The victims, boys aged between 9 and 17, are currently warded at Selayang Hospital after medical examinations revealed injuries consistent with sexual assault, including both recent and past trauma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The home had been operating for about 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police arrested four suspects, including the 31-year-old home operator, who have been remanded until tomorrow. One of those detained is a 17-year-old resident of the home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The case was highlighted by Pertubuhan Kebangkitan Tiga Tangan Selangor (PKTTS) president S. Maran, who said the abuse was first revealed by two former residents who had recently turned 18.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;They kept this buried for years. When they finally spoke, what came out was horrifying and very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;This is not an isolated incident. This is systematic, repeated abuse that we believe went on for a long time without anyone exposing their crime,&amp;quot; he said yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking to the New Straits Times exclusively yesterday, Maran said he and his team lodged a police report on Sunday at Gombak police headquarters before visiting the home under the pretext of a birthday celebration that night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Our members started slowly questioning the residents. Some of the children began opening up. Several of them were able to point out the suspects.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maran said the situation escalated when evidence allegedly linked to the abuse was found on mobile phones belonging to the suspects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;With the victims&amp;#39; admissions and what we discovered, there was no longer any doubt. This is a genuine case. These children were abused,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least 10 police reports have since been lodged by the non-governmental organisation, former residents and parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medical findings, said Maran, indicated multiple victims had suffered injuries consistent with repeated abuse, with some believed to be recent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Since the arrest and expose, our members have been spending more time at the home. We noticed that some of these children are living with trauma.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A single mother, when met at the home, said she was devastated to learn that her two sons — aged 9 and 10 — were among the victims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I trusted this place for more than eight years. I came to see them almost every week but never once did it strike me that such abuses have been taking place here,&amp;quot; she said, adding that she came to take both her boys home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigations have also uncovered serious lapses in the management of the home, which housed 36 children — 23 boys and 13 girls — including a lack of proper supervision and alleged breaches of basic care standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Checks revealed the home was not registered with the Social Welfare Department, but instead operated under a private company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukit Aman&amp;#39;s Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division D11 principal assistant director Senior Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan confirmed the arrests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The suspects have been arrested and police investigations are still ongoing,&amp;quot; she said in a brief response via WhatsApp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Twt]https://twitter.com/GreenGreenDee/status/2039658722348372115[/twt]&lt;br /&gt;-------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So is this where the endless social ills take root and starts to multiply and fester ?</description>
