Surin to panelists: What can we do to improve children's education in Malaysia?

Educator and Five Arts Centre founding member D'Cruz: Teachers should also learn from students, not just the other way around. The education system right now is oppressive and doesn't empower students to make informed decisions
'Learning Beyond Schooling' founder Soon: Education needs a revolution, not just a reform. Education should be democratised - the Education Ministry should allow people to use learning approaches that fit their value and cultures, such as practised by home schoolers
'3R' executive producer Marina Mahathir on sex education: Students are going to have relationships and want to know how to manage them, but teachers are too shy and untrained to hold such discussions

Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) chairperson Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim was among the guests and also shared her experiences of engaging the government on sex education in schools
D'Cruz to Surin: There are accounts of students being locked up in 'jail' for coming late to school!
Although the state of education may seem bleak at times, at least we can still laugh about it

Guests listening to the discussion during the Q&A session
Teacher and theatre practitioner Anne James: Politics and conservatism have seeped into school policies. We need to take political and religious approaches out of how we fashion education policies
TNG's 'Found in Conversation' on Creativity and Innovation in Education was held at Leonardo's on Jalan Bangkung, Bangsar


THE Nut Graph held its second Found in Conversation event titled Creativity and Innovation in Education on 25 July 2010 in Kuala Lumpur. Panellists comprised educator and dancer-choreographer Datin Marion D’Cruz, 3R executive producer and social commentator Datin Marina Mahathir, and Learning Beyond Schooling founder KV Soon, who is a proponent of homeschooling.

About 40 people were present at the event held at Leonardo’s Dining Room & Wine Loft.

Found in Conversation aims to link personalities, ideas, and people. Its hope is to provide opportunities for the public to engage with notable personalities and industry experts through a one-and-a-half hour conversation. The next forum, to be held on 8 Aug at the same venue and time will be on creativity and innovation in show business. It will feature 8TV’s chief executive officer Ahmad Izham Omar, independent singer-songwriter Azmyl Yunor, and actor-director Joanna Bessey, and will be moderated by The Nut Graph‘s former columns and comments editor Shanon Shah.

Keffiyah Yahudi ~ Usaha puak Zionis Israel untuk menyaingi Keffiyah Arafat

'Perang Budaya dan Lambang Muslim' oleh Mahaguru58 Simbolisma pemakaian Keffiyah Allahyarham Yasser Arafat oleh warga dunia Barat begitu menyakitkan hati para pemuka Yahudi rejim haram Zionis Israel dan kaum kerabat Yahudi di Amerika Syarikat sehingga memaksa mereka untuk merekacipta Keffiyah simbolisma mereka pulak! Begitu hebat sekali peranan yang dimainkan oleh lambang identiti perjuangan Arab Palestin sehingga pemakaian kain Keffiyah Arafat menusuk jiwa dan minda para penyokong Zionis Israel didalam kehidupan seharian mereka baik di tanah jajahan rejim haram Israel dibumi Palestin mahupun di Amerika. Berhati hatilah wahai umat Islam dari tersalah beli corak kain kaffiyeh Zionis Israel dengan lambang dan corak bintang segi enam Yahudi @ Star of David seperti didalam gambar sebelah. Para pembenci perjuangan orang orang Arab Palestin dari kalangan Yahudi Israel dan Amerika Syarikat kini melancarkan perang saraf terhadap lambang kain kaffiyyah Arafat dengan mempromosikan lamban...
