Prof Khoo Kay Kim Is Wrong

Prof khoo Kay Kim tried to make a generalized statement when he said that Chinese educated students are copy cats. Though it is true that some Chinese educated students memorized certain topics, most of the chinese educated students obtained good results through hardwork and putting priority in education.They are certainly not copy cats.
Whether Chinese educated or otherwise, the education policy in Malaysia and even in China does not encourage creative and innovative thinkings. The education policy curbs the freedom of the students such that the students lack innovative and creative thinkings. They are not even allowed to invite oppositon party to come to campus for a debate. The restriction of the freedom of students in authoritative countries is the main factor why our students don`t excel compared to the Westerner.

So prof khoo kay kim is very wrong to accuse the Chinese educated students. He should condemn the government or the education policy for not allowing the students to practise what they want within the scope of law. There is no freedom in the campus, particularly during Mahathir`s era.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

If prof khoo Kay Kim has the guts, I would like to invite him for a debate in three languages, namely, Chinese, English and Bahasa. The topic of the debate is entitled" The draconian laws and policies but not the Chinese education , are responsible for the lack of creativity and innovative thinkings of studends."

Last but not least, I would like to thank some of the readers of my blog who commented on my articles. Perhaps you can give me the statistics that the Chinese educated students are better off in results than other students. Thank you.
