Why does the Malaysian Education System Suck So Bad?  

Posted by DJLIM

This is an article which I had plan to write a long time coming but I had not really had the time to think this through due to the fact the morons in the ministry it so badly and are delusional about its effectiveness! Heck even most of the minister children in power are placed in in schools that uses everything (from international schools to being overseas) but its own locally made jaguh kampung system. As a result I would like to delve in to that stupid issue later.

So allow me to begin to begin with a few aspects about the education system that I believe should either be do away and be completely purge from the system.

At number 1To many freaking subjects
- It seems the morons in the ministry have this twisted and sickening idea that increasing the number of COMPULSORY
subjects is a way to gauge the intelligence of students of the system. It can be seen very clearly as an average student in Malaysia face an increasing overload of subjects as he or she progresses from Primary 1 to Form 5. This is incredible ridiculous because by the time he or she reach to their SPM level they are now face with taking a a scandalous amount of about 10 to 21 subjects (yeah I know they had recently put a cap of 12 subjects but seriously that is still a stupid amount). As a result
we have a whole generation of students not only burden with lots of subjects they are also burden with pressures of peer peer prejudice favoring a certain subject over another.

2ndly
- WTF is with the irrelevant subjects.
With this the first that comes to mind is why the heck there is a subject called Pendidikan Moral/Moral Education? Its more like like 'Lets memorize some stupid irrelevant moral values word by word which by the way does not make sense as moral values are SUBJECTIVE!!!' subject. The only reason I can think about why they have to implement thsi subject because they have to help the non-Muslims waste their time (and Grey matter) while their Muslim friends/brethren learn about their religion. Other subjects that comes to mind are subjects like history (though if they did it right it can be one of the most worthwhile and fulfilling subjects) but right now it plainly sucks.

3rdly
-The content within the subjects.
This has been nagging me for a long time is the content in some subjects. Moral is one of them with the entire syllabus is stupid. History is filled with lots propaganda shit and subjects like living skills/kemahiran hidup does not really help at all. Even subjects that is suppose to in depth and relevant has a shockingly shallow content. Its not only superficial but the tendency for teachers to follow the textbook content strictly does not help matters. Subjects like English and even Malay has a very narrow minded syllabus and or intent purposes boring.

4th
Ever changing policy changes.
The people in charge of the Education Ministry have a very short sighted and short term memory in their decision making about how they should educate the public. They keep on changing policies that often seem out of date or it was seemed to be made by people who is out of touch of the system. Which all of this goes back to ministers children. It is mind boggling to me how they can suggest and implement measures that affects everyday normal school going Malaysian when their children does not follow system at all! If only they had the balls to walk the walk and actually trust in the system that they had perpetuated while having a mental breakdown would they then realize the the fallacy of their policies. How would they feel if their children comes home after school and have a following conversation as follows:

Minister :Hello son how was your day?

Son: It was a really crappy day, half of the teachers are having some kind of meeting in some far of place, my maths English teacher has just walk out o the classroom due to can't take the stress,my PE teacher was spewing stuff about having PE in the classroom but at least I have NO homework again.

Minister: What again it has been almost an entire year and your SPM is next week,how are you going to prepare for it!

Son: Duh! That is what tuition is for! School is just for playing and sleeping.

Minister: Oh my [censored] goodness! (faints)


See if only they would actually force their children to endure the education system that they had made then and only then they would actually strive to make it better.
