Tiang: do not be too focused on academic achievements
Michael Tiang, Secretary for SUPP Pelawan Branch and also a political secretary for the Chief Minister applauded the decision of the Education Ministry’s decision not to highlight the number of As obtained by pupils and no comparisons between students, schools and states. In the past the overzealous focus on academic achievements by the pupils and schools was totally misguided and therefore detrimental to the holistic development of pupils.
Tiang support ed the new approach by the Eduction ministry that is no special emphasis given to the academic achievements but to include other components like Sports, physical and co-curricular activities assessment, classroom assessment and psychometric assessment into the new holistic education approach.
” As a parent myself, I also always believe that it is gravely misleading to say that we are providing education to our children, where in fact they are told to do one thing only, that is to study hard. By doing so, the education institutes are discriminating pupils who are not good at studying but excellent in other fields.
As such, I also hope to see a joint effort and seamless cooperation between Ministry of Sports and the ministry of education in implementing this new holistic approach for our children’s education,” he said.
Tiang firmly believe in order to make Malaysia to the top 20 Nations by year 2050, our national leaders need to take bold and new approaches in producing more compatible and competitive talents to achieve that vision.

陈超耀深切哀悼已故杨守勤
砂拉越人民联合党中央秘书长拿督陈超耀律师谨以沉痛的心情，深切哀悼已故前砂拉越副首席部长兼砂拉越人民联合党前主席拿督巴丁宜丹斯里黄顺开医生夫人拿汀巴丁宜潘斯里杨守勤医生的辞世，并向其家属致以最诚挚慰问。 拿汀巴丁宜潘斯里杨守勤医生享嵩寿100岁，一生坚毅、谦逊、低调而有原则。她长期陪伴并支持已故拿督巴丁宜丹斯里黄顺开医生的政治道路，在丈夫投身公共服务及领导砂拉越人民联合党的奋斗历程中，始终坚定站在身旁，默默付出，风雨同路。 拿汀巴丁宜潘斯里杨守勤医生也是一名深受敬重的医生。她一生以医者仁心服务社会，关怀病患，尽心尽责，在医疗岗位上展现专业精神与奉献情怀。她以医生的坚毅、冷静与责任感面对人生，也将这份精神贯彻在家庭、社会及党务奉献之中。 自1978年加入砂拉越人民联合党以来，拿汀巴丁宜潘斯里杨守勤医生始终忠诚于党，坚守信念。她不仅是已故拿督巴丁宜丹斯里黄顺开医生身旁最坚定的支持者，也是砂拉越人民联合党在艰难时刻值得敬重与铭记的忠诚党员。 2017年8月，尽管拿汀巴丁宜潘斯里杨守勤医生已届高龄，并因早前在中国上海不慎跌倒伤及右脚踝，行动不便，她仍坚持以关键证人身份，参与砂拉越人民联合党在诗巫收回3间店屋的法律诉讼，并提供重要证据，协助党最终成功收回有关产业。 当年，她在党员陪同下，仍坚持自行一步步走到位于二楼的高庭；她抵达时，众人因她的坚持与勇气而报以热烈掌声。 她曾坚定地说：“我即使坐轮椅也要来告诉法庭事情的真相。”这番话，充分体现她作为医生的坚强意志，也体现她对真相、原则与砂拉越人民联合党的坚定信念。 拿汀巴丁宜潘斯里杨守勤医生一生谦逊低调，从不追求名利或个人表扬。她曾婉拒个人表扬，仅答应代表亡夫领取“砂哈迪终身忠诚奉献精神奖”，这份风范更彰显她对丈夫、对党、对信念的深厚情义与崇高品格。 她的离世，不仅是家属的重大损失，也是砂拉越人民联合党及砂拉越社会的一大损失。她一生的坚守、奉献与精神，将永远受到砂拉越人民联合党铭记。 愿拿汀巴丁宜潘斯里杨守勤医生安息主怀，也愿其家属在哀恸中获得安慰与力量。 60 SHARES Share on FacebookRead More
