a) The national-type school system - which provides education in vernacular languages apart from the national language -is only practised in Malaysia and not anywhere else in the region or in the world , said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/3/26/nation/20110326165422&sec=nation
He said the country's founding fathers agreed on this multi-education approach so that the different races of the nation could continue to use their mother tongue as well as practise their traditions and cultures . “ This is a unique system and only found in Malaysia, where all races are allowed to maintain their language, traditions and cultures . “ Our founding fathers had opted for integration - rather than assimilation - among the different races,” he said , when opening a new school block for SJK(C) Soon Cheng in Sungai Abong ...
Najib added that although Bahasa Malaysia is the national language, other languages have been maintained . Regarding Chinese education , Najib commended the community for making education and learning a priority and praised them for always willing to contribute to these matters . “ Such strong commitment to education helped the community to build many Chinese schools in the country,” adding this commitment also helped Chinese Malaysians to achieve economic growth and success . Najib said besides their academic knowledge in such fields as the sciences and mathematics, the community is also known for their quest of business and entrepreneurial knowledge . “ Making education and learning the top priority is a virtue that we all acknowledge and praise. We also appreciate their roles and contributions in national growth,” said Najib , adding every race in the country has its role in the country.

Actually, we can have this in Malaysia . A nuclear plant too.
The only issue, and the biggest one at that, is that the supervision/capability of the maintenance for all these plants.
Someone’s hand gets greased for approving a half-baked plan. Then people will want money for doing less.
And when less funds get channeled into maintenance, we’ll get another Chernobyl or environmental problem .

YB Wee have specifically asked for the name of company that was appointed by Bank Negara Malaysia to manage the printing of the paper currency. But the name of the company was purposely omitted except using the words “syarikat tersebut” with no reference to it in the any part of its reply . Why BNM was so secretive about the name of the appointed company ? Is the appointed company indirectly or directly related to any of the BNM officers ?
