Teng, teng, teng .. teropong alert!! The VC of UPM has been asked to resign. Read the local daily. Apparently, what he did did not make the Minister of Higher Education happy. According to the daily too, ' The consensus was that Dr Muhamad Zohadie had soured the relationship between UPM and the Higher Education Ministry by sending a memorandum to the ministry, objecting to the transfer of the Aerospace Engineering programme from UPM to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.' Aiyooo ... apa ni ... habis lah ..
We Malaysian are specialist at making BIG things, all big, tall and so forth. Of course I can only read what is printed in the newspaper. But academics in Malaysia know that once eduaction is NOT run by an academic, finish ... need I say more. To me, Tan Sri Musa was doing an excellent job, but then again, he is not a politician. I wish you well Tan Sri.
So maybe we can forget about being the educational HUB of the region and what not ... sedih, sedih ... never mind, we eat salary and do our job lah ... things will never change. Maybe someone was right after all by coining the expression, first world infrastructure, third world mentality. The Eastern culture will prevail .. Aiyaa, tak tau lah ... |
Enjoyed a lot! » » »
