No money... but can build new parliament building, new istana (palace)
No money... but can spend on MRT, most expensive development ever at RM60b.
Talk about human capital development, yer nothing on education transformation or review.
So how? Who's getting rich, who getting poor?
*sigh*
INTERCONNECTIONS. Everything is connected, somehow.

Rethinking Schools (1)
Just thinking out loud:
We send out kids to school, we get locked out. They spend between 5 -
8 hours a day without us parents. Parents cannot go into schools and
no freedom to check on their children. Must have letter, permission and all the
paperwork involved. We see the teachers once or twice a year only to
collect report cards. That's when the teachers tell parents what's
wrong with our kid and we need to take note. The information is almost
useless, historical in nature because any situation to address any
isssues would be too late. Then again, if the school calls us parents
up - it is usually not good news. It is almost like doing time.
