Education Minister & Malaysian English teachers Posted: 13 Oct 2012 02:24 AM PDT Today, YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin talks about bringing in 25 more English Teaching Assisstants (ETAs) next year to help enhance students' proficiency in the language. Apparently, President Obama and Prime Minister YAB Najib did discuss th Fulbright English Teacher Assisstant Prgramme. The Malaysian-American Commission Educational Exchange (MACEE) are jointly administering the programme. Hitherto, 50 ETAs are in Malaysia. We do not know how effective is the programme in raising the standard of English. Besides looking for more ETAs, I wonder if the Education Minister is searching for Malaysian English teachers including those who have left the government service. If he were to make full use of the Malaysian talents, we may also see a better standard of English in the country.

The implementation of Automatic Enfoecement System (AES) must be fair Posted: 13 Oct 2012 02:19 AM PDT We feel that Transport Minister Datuk Kong Cho Ha must review the effects of AES on drivers. Now, he reminds those who have received notices or summons to appeal directly to the court, not to his ministry. He has not been able to show that AES implementation is fair and that it has reduced the accident rate drastically. These naturally cause discontent. The minister must explain whether the privatisation of AES encourages the company to put closed circuit TV and camera at strategic sites where motorists are likely to break the law. The more pictures are taken, the more summons and fines are imposed. The company makes money on unfortunate motorists who naturally feel unhappy. We hope that motorists will not break the laws such as going through red light. In Malaysia, will AES reduce the rate of accidents?
