Alimuddin: Ministry yet to decide on Science and Mathematics issue
PUTRAJAYA: There have been differing views on whether the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English should be retained.
Education director-general Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom said these views were based on a series of roundtable discussions the ministry had held to discuss the policy since last month.
“The three main views are that some groups want the policy to be retained while others don’t.
“Another view is that the policy be retained but that it be introduced either in the second half of primary school or only implemented in secondary school,” he told reporters at the end of the second roundtable discussion yesterday.
The policy of teaching Science and Mathematics in English was implemented in phases, starting with Year One, Form One and Lower Six students in 2003.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein had earlier announced that a decision on whether Science and Mathematics would continue to be taught in English would be made after the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) results were released at the end of the year.
He said the decision would not be based on the UPSR results but that the ministry was only announcing the decision after the results were out as it needed time to go through more roundtable discussions to seek the views of different parties.
Alimuddin said the second roundtable discussion was attended by community leaders, Parent-Teacher Associations, Non-Governmental Organisations, representatives from teacher unions, corporate and professional bodies, interested individuals as well as ministry officials.
Two more roundtable discussions would be held in October, he said, adding that these were with teachers and students, and another with politicians.
“The ministry will refine the recommendations from the discussions.
“This will then be handed over to the minister with other reports and evaluations so that a decision can be made on the policy,” Alimuddin said.

real meaning of peace
There once was a king who offered a prize to the artistwho would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest - in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
"Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."
so my friends always in relax condition even you have a major problem:)
find you own peace and enjoy our life.

Thai court to consider seizing Thaksin assets
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to consider seizing former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's 76 billion baht ($2.2 billion) in assets frozen in Thai banks after he was ousted in a 2006 coup.
Prosecutors argued Thaksin had abused his powers during five years in office to enrich his associates and businesses owned by his family, a charge he has denied.
The first court hearing is scheduled for Dec. 25.
The asset seizure case began in July 2007 when a panel of graftbusters appointed by the coup makers ordered Thai banks to freeze Thaksin's domestic accounts.
Thaksin and his wife, Potjaman, fled to England in August this year, saying they could not get a fair trial in Thailand.
In a separate case, Thailand's top anti-graft agency dismissed a petition on Thursday against Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat that could have disqualified him as premier.
Somchai, Thaksin's brother-in-law and the target of a street campaign seeking to unseat him, was accused of dereliction of duty in 2000 when he was a top justice ministry official, an offence that could have forced him to step down.
The National Counter Corruption Commission (NCCC) said Somchai was not guilty of a criminal offence, but should have faced some disciplinary action.
Thailand has been riven by political conflict for the three years since the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) started its street campaign against Thaksin and his allies, accusing them of corruption, cronyism and threatening the monarchy.
The dispute between the Thaksin camp and the military and royalist elite who despise him has seen a coup, elections and more street protests, but appears to be no nearer a conclusion.
