Malaysian Graduates: Have they learned anything?

Fiasco at UM on day of robe collection

ALL the while, I harboured the confidence that our youths will be the pillars of society and that maybe with good education, our future generations will not make the same mistakes that our politicians are making now.

But, after reading the letter by a concerned undergraduate of arguably the best university in Malaysia, what a wrong perception I have!

It seems to me that even at the “grassroots” stage, we have inculcated all the wrong values for our growing generations and if our graduates have to camp and queue-jump through the night just to get a proper fitting robe, it leaves me with the thought that this country is going down the drain like the sewage we indiscriminately throw into them every day.

Is our education policy all wrong?
