Education is important
In the process of shifting houses, I discovered an award given to me.
These days the standard of education is so low in Malaysia. The rankings of our universities are low and rank poorly in the global ratings. How good can our schools and universities be when our Education Ministers (and other ministers of the cabinet) mostly send their children to study abroad at a young age?
We save up hard earned cash to send our children to universities abroad and if we cannot afford it we will send them to a local private university college. Oh Lord have mercy and provide for those who ask for provision from you.
I praise the Lord that I had the best of opportunities in education and made the most of it, but this I know is not the case for all. In the world there are many who are more talented, more faithful and more compassionate than any of us, yet their lives do not know anything else other than a hard life on the land, poverty and civil wars.
