BUKIT LANJAN: Prioritise educational needs of children - knowledge is power, sky’s the limit

Knowledge is power and the sky’s the limit - that’s the potential of children’s academic excellence.

That’s the motivation for parents to prioritise the educational needs of their children.

“As parents, our responsibility is to see to our children’s academic excellence. They need all the parental guidance that we can provide,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

He said all parents expect the best for their children’s potential success as a working adult and “this can only be facilitated with excellent parental guidance, with parents spending quality time with their children and family”.

“Shower them with love but do not spoil them with materials. And discipline must be maintained when necessary and do not be distracted from our focus on the proper upbringing of our children,” he said in his address to parents at the N.37 Bukit Lanjan Tabika Kemas pre-school concept briefing on Feb 11, 2017.

Syed Razak said only caring parents who spend quality time with their children “can give their children the edge to grow up as responsible and mature successful adults”.

“The responsibility of educating our children does not lie on teachers only. We, as parents, have the most responsible role in seeing our children maturing into productive and successful working adults who also contribute to nation-building.

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), reminded parents that Bahasa Malaysia is the national language of unity but “English language is also equally important for achieving academic excellence in Science and Mathematics”.

“Mastering both languages and the fluent use of the languages are certainly the key to achieving academic and career excellence,” he said at the Orang Asli Desa Temuan Community Hall.

Syed Razak added that education was an issue “very close to my heart”.

“If given the chance to serve Bukit Lanjan after GE14, I intend to devote a greater part of my time in the cause of education. I have 11 years experience as a Parent Teacher Association chairman.

“I will use that experience to help raise funds for community education programmes. This, I believe, should be my main responsibility, if elected as an assemblyman, because neigbourhood unity is a natural result from such programmes.

“As much allocations as possible must be channeled to ensure Bukit Lanjan becomes a role model united community for neigbourhood progress,” he added.

Syed Razak also gave away prizes to children who participated in a colouring contest.

Here’s a selection of pictures at the briefing organised for the 10 Kemas pre-schools in N.37 Bukit Lanjan:

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...
