Bakri, are you suggesting that all schools should do A-Level instead of SPM, just like KYUEM?

Assalamualaikum Dr. Bakri…
Just one litttle correction. Mr. Small, the ex-headmaster, is
Cambrige’s product, and the new headmaster is Oxford’s graduate, not the other way around.

2 years in KYUEM has indeed nurtured me to become a more matured, all-rounded and productive person, compared to my 5 years in a so-called elite residential school (not MCKK). I find reading ur article about this comparison is very intriguing, and just.

In Washington DC they catch the Senators and other politicians and indicte them some for bribery and others for sex scandal. How many Malaysian politicians have been indicted for corruption or sex scandal?

In China they charge the head of Food and Drug administration in May, trial in June and Death in July. Swift justice for someone that harms the nation, accept corruption while holding a public office. I’ve yet to see a Malaysian politician or public official suffer similar fate. Many Malaysian have been exposed but “close one eye” still building the Mansion for all 11 family members and “going to umrah with the PM” make racist remarks and utter words not fit for Parliament and yet rewarded with more datukship and even appointed Minister.

Oh Malaysia I weep for you. Oh Malaysia tanah tumpahnya darahku, Oh Malaysia tanah Melayu tapi sekarang yang banyak berhijrah adalah orang Melayu.

Riverine Reverie

The quiet little jetty at the far side of the parking lot of the istana.
The view is wonderful.

The river up and down - and across it you may see some kerbaus and kids playing. The breeze.

“Ada makan?”

The empty tarmac, such a wide open space that was a field.

The gold dome. When will the sultan call it home?

Dr Bakri
Salaam

i’m gonna have a gedik-gedik time with the other twin
sitting on a bench in the tranquile seclusion green
dressed in mood sombre, the color of an alter ego free
not caring the muffled roars of the lions from under another tree
comfortable and cool and enjoying whisper of the gentle breeze

I’m no shark. My jaws are not hard but have seen enough action in my younger days. Somewhat been there and done that. Now in my old age I can only encourage the young people to determine their future by using their brains.
