Hisham a failure as education minister

Hisham, why don't you do something different and go speak to the parents of schoolchildren and ask them for their views. Why do you think more and more people are now sending their children to private schools although it cost an arm and a leg? This is because of the rot in our government school system. Why do you think parents are working overtime to be able to send their children for more and more tuition classes? Again, it's because of the terrible education standards we have in government schools.

My son goes to a government school and whenever I go to his school during class hours, there are hardly any teachers in the classes. My son says that the children are very regularly left alone to do their own work. By the way, in case you are interested, he is in the Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Tunku. This school is a disgrace to all Malaysians. Many parents have taken their children out of this school. Unfortunately, not all of us can do that. So, we are stuck with the system that you are so proud of.

You said that you are proud that all the government’s educational development plans have been put into action and were not empty promises. Yes, I'm sure you rushed to spend that RM3 billion allocation. Can you divulge to all now where did all that billions go to and which companies were awarded the contracts and the shareholders and directors of those privileged elite companies?

Come on Hisham, get real. Everyone knows that you are an absolute failure as the minister of education and that the government schools are just a waste of time. If our PM spent more time awake, he, too, may be able to see your disgraceful record.
