PETALING JAYA: A group of prominent retired civil servants has called for a comprehensive review of the school curriculum and the time allocated for core subjects.
In a statement, G25 recommended making religious education part of an after-school curriculum to allow more time to be spent on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
“It is of the utmost importance that religious schools conform to the national education system to ensure students who attend only state religious schools are exposed to a well-balanced national education curriculum,” the group said.

DAP treasurer Prof Ong Kian Ming has hailed International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz who turned up to campaign and ensuring that DAP’s Sungai Pelek candidate Lwi Kian Seong won in the Malay majority state constituency during the recent six state polls.
This is because Sungai Pelek is a 60% Malay majority seat while DAP fielded a local Chinese candidate against a relatively well-known Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate Suhaimi Mohd Ghazali who was a former local UMNO leader.
“The cooperation between PH and BN at the leadership and grassroots level was also enhanced by the presence of state and national leaders campaigning together in N56 Sungai Pelek,” the former Bangi MP pointed out in a media statement to illustrate Sungai Pelek as good example of Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional (PH-BN) cooperation.
“I experienced this when MITI Minister Tengku Zafrul came to Sungai Pelek to campaign for the PH candidate Lwi Kian Seong together with Ng Sze Han, the DAP Selangor state secretary who was recently sworn in as Selangor EXCO.

PETALING JAYA: An Umno leader has criticised Sanusi Nor for taking on eight portfolios in the Kedah executive council, saying the menteri besar should have delegated more of the duties to his exco members.
Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi told FMT that Sanusi’s duties should be to set the state’s course and policies, describing it as excessive for him to chair eight committees.
“Sanusi should be focusing on two important portfolios, namely land resources and finance. These portfolios are important so he can control the state’s direction and policies.
“Can Sanusi focus on the numerous tasks at hand? Don’t forget that, because he was so occupied previously, he was unaware about the rare earths theft (in Kedah) as the chairman of Menteri Besar Kedah Incorporated (MBI Kedah),” he said.

PETALING JAYA: The racial composition of the new Selangor executive council, with only two Chinese among the 10 exco members, could be a move to send a message that the Malays are still in charge, according to political analysts.
Seven of the 10 are Malays. The three others are Ng Sze Han, Ng Suee Lim and Papparaidu Veraman, all from DAP.
Political analyst Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said the exco lineup could be aimed at dispelling fears that the Chinese, through DAP, are in charge of the government, a perception used by PAS and Bersatu in the state election campaigns this month.

BEIJING: China will coordinate financial support to resolve local government debt problems, the central bank said in a statement today, as policymakers look to shore up an increasingly shaky economic recovery and reassure worried investors.
The statement, following a joint meeting on Friday by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the country’s top financial regulator and the securities regulator, comes amid growing concerns that China’s deepening property crisis is starting to spill over into its financial system.
China unexpectedly lowered several key interest rates earlier last week in a bid to shore up activity and it is expected to cut its prime loan rates on Monday, but analysts say moves so far have been too little, too late, with much more forceful measures needed to stem the economy’s downward spiral.
