Can you understand the sentiment of wanting to allow Chin Peng, former Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM) leader, to come back to Malaysia?
Because I don’t. I couldn’t fathom the logic behind this insane, stupid, irrelevent, insensitive proposal. He was a leader of an organisation that had cause terror to many on our homeland.
Yet, not even three decades after they finally gave up their armed struggle, we have hippies out there that preach of ‘personal freedom’ and ‘human rights’, and succumb to his personal plea of ‘wanting to visit his father’s grave’ before he meets that father of his in another realm.
Then tell me this – who can answer this question by a victim of PKM brutality, in response to Chin Peng’s plea: “tell me where my father’s grave is”. Many have lost their lives during the emergency, some without a known resting place of their own.
To be ignorant of your own county’s history is a sin of a big magnitude.
There is a limit to everything, even when the sky is your limit.
It is a good news indeed that our dear Deputy PM spoke of a 10-subject limit for SPM from next year. I do hope that they will go through with this noble idea. It is about time they do something about it.
I have firmly believed that it is not about the quantity, but the wholesomeness of an individual that SPM should reflect. I am not surprised if those who got 14 or 15 A’s and failed to get a scholarship, is a dork who can’t speak fluently during an interview. I’ve met people like this and trust me, you don’t want them to be your doctor if they managed to book-wormed themselves through medical school.
And may the government stick with their PPMSI policy, for the betterment of our Malaysian society.
