BUKIT LANJAN: Only fools reject foreign language education


BUKIT LANJAN: Only fools reject foreign language education

China is today the world’s second largest economy and is predicted to overtake the US as No.1 soon.

China’s social and economic revolution or transformation in just over 40 years is nothing short of amazing.

“China’s quantum leap in economic and education achievements are not only due to hard work and resilience. They are a nation of practical people who face reality.

“In their quest for success, they are clear in what they are doing and in what they need to focus on. Race and politics are set aside when it comes to achieving excellence in education and business,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak said.

He said the key to a nation’s success “is ensuring that the rakyat (people) receives quality education”.

“In the quest for excellence, there must be openness and the willingness to learn and acquire knowledge not only from domestic sources but also foreign.

“The learning of foreign languages, especially English as an international language, is therefore a necessity that gives one the edge in global communication for business and trade.

“Learning foreign languages has nothing to do with race or religion. It has nothing to do about being less patriotic when acquiring language skills,” he added.

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said “only fools will reject education and knowledge enrichment efforts”.

He urged Malaysians to refrain from confusing each other by mixing race, religion and politics with social issues that cover education and economics.

“It is best to just think of ourselves as Malaysians who strive to achieve both education and economic excellence,” he added.

CreditKristian Helgesen/Bloomberg, via Getty Images Norway’s Wealth Fund Considers Divesting From Oil Shares By  CLIFFORD KRAUSS NOV. 16, 2017 Norway’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund is considering a divestment of holdings in international petroleum companies, a sign that even Europe’s dominant producer does not have full confidence in oil’s future. The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentiall...

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr...
