Prof Khoo Kay Kim, no doubt you are historian, but your credibility is another story. If you are labelling Malaysia Chinese educated student is lack of creativity, competitiveness and copycat, I would ask you to retract your statement and think again.
Every school in Malaysia is monitored by Ministry of Education Malaysia, no difference whether you are from Chinese, Tamil or Malay medium. Again, is M.E.D.I.U.M. differences, not the education system. So, who set the syllabus and system? As a historian yourself, you should know it better: is the ministry.
DPM said he wanted his ministry to learn and look into Chinese medium school for their success in UPSR, even though previously he want to implement teaching of Sci and Maths in Malay language (For WTF?). Okay, Prof you opposed DPM and said that Chinese Medium school only producing “copycats”. As an educator yourself, you are well-known that Copycats and plagiarism is everywhere, or else we don’t need anti-plagiarism software like Turnitin to detect plagiarism globally. Again, this is not a Malaysian made software for anti-plagiarism in Malaysia. Perhaps you are too old to know the existence of the software.
If you do have statistics showing Chinese Medium is more “copycat” than the other with the P-value <0.05, prove it too me. Ops, I forget you are a historian and never a Statistics and you can’t understand what a P-value is. You might be good in digging old-times shit under the graveyard, but you never good in analytical thinking and just a merely bullshitter, mainly because you are another surviving old-chaps who witness some “twisted” history.
In terms of innovation and creativity as well as well-known scientist, you said that there is little or none from Chinese medium, so how much is from Malay medium? Name it. You yourself even “memorized” history facts and not even a scientist although you are never a Chinese medium educated. Yes, based on you as a role model, I can conclude that non-Chinese medium banana like you are good in “twisted logic”, “misleading” and “perceptional bias” can’t I?
Also, if you want to suggest a single-education-system, why not you suggest using international standards like British education system so that Malaysian is on-par with global developed countries. I have no objections if you say so.
You said Chinese Medium school students can’t table with other races, well this is another bullshit. I have seen mix-cultures exchange food together, and even went to bed together. I have been roommate with other races, so as many of your undergraduates.
Afterall, the main issue is the sickening education syllabus that produces the rubbish students, never the medium. Prof, you should address the education system, not the medium. Unified education system if is produced by Morons who only sits inside the ministry and never send their kids to local school, will always be a failure.

死背沒創意不值得取經華小只出抄襲人才 No idea is not worth memorize learn from China is only a small copy talent獨家報導:高嘉琪 Exclusive Report: High-Cathy(吉隆坡23日訊)歷史學家丹斯里邱家金指出,華小只會栽培“抄襲人才”(copy cat),因此,政府向華小的數理科教學方式“取經”前,應三思而后行。 (Kuala Lumpur, 23, Reuters) historian Tan Sri Qiu Jin pointed out that the cultivation of Chinese small-only “copy Talent” (copy cat), Therefore, the Chinese Government to the small number of science teaching methods, “learn”, should think twice before they act.
他說,若國小向華小取經,只會製造一批讀死書、缺乏創意及競爭力的下一代。 He said that if a small primary school to learn Chinese, it will only create a number of books read death, lack of creativity and competitiveness of the next generation.
他說,華小的教學制度,製造了一批批專門“抄襲”的畢業生,他們厲害之處,不外是將口袋式的牛津字典生詞,背個滾瓜爛熟。 He said that the teaching of Chinese schools system, for a number of groups dedicated “copy” of the graduates, their powerful of the Department, no more than the pocket-style Oxford Dictionary new words back one by heart.
希望政府深入衡量 That the Government should measure the
“這批學生缺乏創意。請看看本地的華校子弟,有多少個是知名的科學家,或會研發產品?” “These students lack creativity. Please take a look at the local Chinese school children, the number of well-known scientists, or will develop products?”
邱家金也是馬大歷史系教授。 Qiu Jin is also a history professor Ma. 他是針對副首相兼教長慕尤丁指華小生在數理科上比國小生優秀的言論,發表個人看法時如此指出。 He is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for the Imam Muhyiddin niche refers to China than the country in a few niche science excellence of speech, so that when you express personal views.
慕尤丁昨天訪問印尼萬隆時說,政府會詳細研究和鑒定華小的數理科教學法,以在國內所有小學落實類似的教學法。 Muhyiddin said that yesterday’s visit to Indonesia in Bandung, the Government will carefully study and identification of a small number of Chinese science teaching to all primary schools in the country to implement similar teaching methods.
針對慕尤丁的言論,邱家金希望政府深入衡量,大馬要的是抄襲人才,還是可和全球競爭的人才? Against Muhyiddin’s remarks that the Government should assess Qiu Jin, Malaysia wants is copying people, or can be, and global competition of talent?
他說,他從不欽佩一個只會死背,卻不懂得靈活運用知識的人。 He said that he never admired a will memorize, but not know how to make flexible use of knowledge.
現年72歲的邱家金不曾受過華文教育,他曾在新加坡大學和馬大深造,獲得歷史學士、榮譽學士、碩士及博士學位。 Qiu, now 72-year-old Kim has not received Chinese education, he worked at the University of Singapore and Ma studies, access to the historical BA, Honors Bachelor, Master and PhD.
邱家金今年4月時,曾指非巫裔必須領悟本身在大馬是少數種族,應務實地放棄在中小學使用華語為媒介語,以走出種族框框及能在充滿競爭的世界上生存。 Qiu Jin in April this year, when he refers to non-witch-American have to digest itself in Malaysia are ethnic minorities should be pragmatic to abandon the use of Chinese as a medium in primary and secondary language, in order to get out of race frame and can be highly competitive world to survive.
邱家金:各族一同學習單元教育收穫更多 Qiu Jin: all gain more education, with learning units
邱家金重申,他倡議的單一源流教育制度理念,把各族孩子放在同一屋簷下學習和相處,才可真正落實一個馬來西亞理念。 Qiu Jin reiterated that he initiated the concept of a single origins of the education system, children of all nationalities under the same roof on the learning and getting along in order to truly implement the concept of a Malaysian.
“我見過不少華校生子弟,進入大學時,無法和友族同桌吃飯。” “I have seen many children of Chinese students to enter university, can not, and Friends of the family at the same table to eat.”
他說,他建議的單一源流教學,以國、英語為主,並選擇性以第三語言方式學習本身母語。 He said he had proposed a single origins of teaching so as to country, mainly in English, and optionally a third way to learn their own mother tongue language.
他強調,他不是要大家放棄本身的母語教育,但單一源流教育將令學生收穫更多,因學生至少可掌握3語。 He stressed that he is not to everyone to give up their mother-tongue education, but the single origins will enable students to gain more education, because students to master at least three languages
