These are three highlights of Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff’s off the cuff speech at SMK Bandar Utama’s 1Murid 1Sukan (1Student 1Sport) Sports Day 2017 on Wednesday April 12, 2017:

“You have to read. Reading is the key to knowledge …”

“Bahasa Malaysia is the national language of unity … for Malays, shame on you if cannot speak good Malay and written Malay …”

“But for all other purposes, the lingua franca of business and commerce is English …"

    Very true and interesting.The command of both languages i.è.Bahasa Malaysia and the English Languagè must be of paramount importance for all Malaysians. To be of good value would be the Mother Tongue if parents assimilate the languages.

    I would personally like to see a Malaysia that is rich and gifted in languages. In that way our children who are the futurè of this nation will be speaking and conversing not only Bahasa Malaysia but each other's languages.

    Perhaps as a forward thinking ambition they can be immersed in more languages e.ģ. Korean, Japanese, French, German, Spanish etcetera.

    More Schools of Languages should be explored in this context. Thus making our human resources of the future more marketable to Multi National Corporations, the Foreign Service etcetera.

    Malaysian will be highly sought after the world over. Also Bahasa Malaysia & Cultural centers should be available in strategic parts of the world and foreign universities.

    It can also be taught in our national schools after school hours as part of continuing education for adults and discerning parents.

    Perhaps Tuan Syed Abdul Razak could moot this idea to the authorities concerned. Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka could play an integral role too.

    This will be truly a real step forward.

    "Happy & Blessed Easter to All Malaysians." Seems that Tuan Syed Abdul is heading in the right direction.Do keep up the Marvellous Works and bring Bukit Lanjàn to ultimate heights.

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 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...
