AH LONGS SPREAD WINGS

Now Ah Longs have gone to the students to do the running of their activities. Reported in the Star newspaper about students recruited to lend out money to those students who needed it. Mind you not for their studies but to buy on line games or maybe some of those modern gadgets where students like to show off. Apparently some couldnt pay and the debts mushroomed to over $7,000/- for borrowing something like $136.00! It happened in Penang. I remembered Datuk Michael Chong talked about a secondary student in the city who also runs the racket of loan sharking business. First we have the bullies in schools, then gangsters in schools, now loan sharking business in schools. What will the education minister doing now? He has unsheath his keris so now he better uses it on these scoundrels of society. What will the parents and school authorities going to do? There is something really wrong in our education system. We are not producing people of sound mind and capabilities. We are producing weaklings! One thing for god's sake stop writing about the achievements of passing the examinations in public examinations. It is nothing to shout about. Life is just blossoming and these so called top students haven't even tasted it yet. Life is not about marking good grade in examination; life is about how one plans ahead, mix with others, know the boundary of one's limits and know one's values etc..Look around we have groups not knowing the values of humanity and living in civil society.
