1 Malaysia

Every now and then, our leaders would come out with a statement to promote 1 Malaysia. I don't know it would work or not...we all know what is really going on in Malaysia.

Well the leaders are busy promoting this but do they really go down to the grass roots.

For the past few days, a friend of mine, E would tell stories of teachers being not promoting the concept of 1 Malaysia. She told me that some of the teachers accompanying the school's field trip would not go to certain places just because that places belong to Chinese company. You tell me, does a mushroom farm and a chips' factory would do any harm to the school children just because they belong to Chinese? Then there is this particular teacher from a KL school who requested that they want to go to places which only belong to the Malays...... huh???

Then there is another parent who told me that her child's teacher told her to go back to the Mainland China because she does not belong her as her BM is poor.

My question is that what's the point of having our leaders promoting the concept of 1 Malaysia and the Education Ministry running the Rancangan Integrasi Murid Untuk Perpaduan for the school children when some of the teachers are not keen to integrate??? Waste of money, don't you think???
