Saddest day for the Chinese educationists

The United Chinese School Committees Association of Malaysia (Dong Zong) had voted not to extend the contract of New Era College principal Dr Kua Kia Soong during an emergency general meeting. Sad because the running of the icon of Chinese medium education in Malaysia,New Era College, is now decided by a group of businessmen who know nothing about education and who are only interested to gain cheap publicity for themselves.Gone are the days when concerned persons who would only donate huge sum of money and lands without interfering with the running of the Chinese medium education activities.They did not seek glory they only sincerely wanted to see the Chinese medium education strive and flourish. Sad because there are news that most of the senior staffs of the College are also leaving the College.Yes,life goes on in the College.But what standard of teaching will be given to the students by the junior staffs who stay back? Will the Chinese community have confidence to employ them upon graduation? I suspect that there are some among Dong Zong who sit in the committee with ulterior agenda.Now that the Ministry of Higher Education is eagerly trying to intervene and take over the running of the Chinese medium education functions,which the government had been trying very very hard for the past 50 years.This seems a golden opportunity for them to succeed finally. Those who join Dong Zong with the sole purpose to destroy Chinese medium education are successful in their efforts too. I FEEL LIKE CRYING NOW!
