A CENTURY OLD SCHOOL Chedet.Co.Cc August 05, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. I Came Back from a Holiday in Croatia to Attend Th A CENTURY OLD SCHOOL Chedet.co.cc August 05, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. I came back from a holiday in Croatia to attend the centenary celebration of my alma mater, Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid or Sultan Abdul Hamid College recently. 2. It was a sentimental occasion. Seeing the old school, quite unchanged since I was admitted into Primary I way back in 1932 brought back many sweet/sad memories. 3. The centenary was more meaningful to me because the school was founded by my father who was also its first headmaster. He used to tell me of his experiences when he was headmaster there. 4. It was not in the present building of course. It was housed in a wooden Malay house in the middle of the town of Alor Star. Called the GES or Government English School, he had Malaysia's first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman as one of his students. 5. My father died in 1962. I thought he would like me to attend the centenary. I felt very nostalgic of the good old days when he used to teach me and my brother mathematics. 6. Before I was born he was sent to Pahang to teach at a school in Raub. Then he was sent to Johore to teach at an English school there. 7. Those were very distant places and he had to travel by boat with my mother and my eldest sister. My mother's second child, also a girl was born in Pahang. Mahadi my mother's eldest son was born in Johor Bahru. 8. Father got tired of shifting house and traveling to strange places. He came back to Alor Star and applied for an auditor's job with the Kedah Government. 9. Although his name is Mohamad bin Iskandar, people generally call him "Master" or Mohamad Iskandar. To honour him the primary school attached to Sultan Abdul Hamid College was named "Sekolah Iskandar" inadvertently honouring my grandfather instead. I have never complained. 10. At the main ceremony on the morning of Saturday 26th July the College named three ex-collegiate as the Collegiate of the Centenary. HRH the Sultan was the first, second came Tunku Abdul Rahman and I felt greatly honoured to be named as the third Collegiate of the Centenary. It would be another century before anyone will get this award. 11. To be able to study at the GES was a great privilege in those days. This was the first and only Government English School in Kedah. There were only 30 boys from the whole of Kedah admitted each year. I was one of the lucky ones. 12. Going to school was thrilling to me and I couldn't wait for school holidays to end. 13. I did fairly well and my Senior Cambridge Examinations result was good enough for me to be admitted into the medical faculty of the King Edward VII College of Medicine. I was given financial aid which was not a scholarship. The British Colonial Government apparently practised affirmative action because all my Chinese and Indian classmates had far better results than me. The examination results of the other six Malay students were even worse than mine. There were 70 plus students in all. 14. I owed my teachers in school a great deal. Only one of them, Mr. Zain, is alive today. He was a great teacher and spoke grammatically correct English all the time. 15. Schooling was such a great experience and I recall with fondness many rewarding events that I went through. 16. I hope and pray that all Malaysians remember their school days and the part that school plays in their lives. Getting an education right up to University level is easy now. But we must nevertheless feel grateful for there are more than one billion illiterate people in the world. For them the future promises very little. 393 Comments By shamid1973 on August 5, 2008 7:35 AM what a sweet memory from you Tun. Always keep in touch and have a nice day.

By apanamaAuthor Profile Page on August 5, 2008 7:46 AM Sir, its refereshing to note that your former school (administrators) are not behaving like the leaders and a majority of members of your former political party. If there is one BIG mistake that the younger generation should avoid emulating Umno and the Malays is the way the treat you now. Tidak menghormati dan bersikap kurang-ajar (Nazri take note) terhadap orang tua adalah sikap yang besar dosa-nya, lebih-lebih lagi jika sikap sedemikian di-tujukan kepada pemimpin yang berjasa kepada kita. Dear Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, May God Continue To Shower His Blessings On You, Sir! (This is my family's daily prayer for you and Dr.Siti Hasmah) By ixora on August 5, 2008 7:47 AM Salams Tun.

Sayang sekali apa yang budak2 sekolah hari ini dapat tidak dapat saya rasai pada zaman dulu. sekian, terima kasih. By MyMalaysiakuAuthor Profile Page on August 5, 2008 8:03 AM Salam Tun, Ahh...school days. Innocent days. I didn't get a chance to go to a "fancy" school but even then, my school taught me life long lessons. University life was also another experience. Students need to be just that for their 4 to 6 years in universities. There is no need to be heavily involved in politics. There is nothing wrong to have an opinion and support your own brand of politics but those 4 to 6 years are crucial in nation building. Great post Tun. Its sometimes good to talk about something else. Its a reminder that they are other important stuffs than just politics :) By tun det die hard fan on August 5, 2008 8:04 AM salam buat tun m sekeluarga.. saya harap tun dapat ulas tentang isu pak lah and tugu negara..adakah itu salah satu dari amalan islam hadhari?.. komen tun memberi nafas baru pada rakyat malaysia.. By beskal_biruAuthor Profile Page on August 5, 2008 8:06 AM Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera Tun, Banyak latar belakang pendidikan Tun yang saya dan mungkin ramai lagi yang baru tahu, mengenai Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid yang mana ayah Tun mempunyai jasa yang cukup besar.

  • Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films
    Travelling Films: Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films Goldsmiths College University of London PhD thesis (Cultural Studies) Ji Yeon Lee Abstract This thesis analyses western criticism, labelling practices and the politics of European international film festivals. In particular, this thesis focuses on the impact of western criticism on East Asian films as they attempt to travel to the west and when they travel back to their home countries. This thesis draws on the critical arguments by Edward Said's Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient (1978) and self-Orientalism, as articulated by Rey Chow, which is developed upon Mary Louise Pratt's conceptual tools such as 'contact zone' and 'autoethnography'. This thesis deals with three East Asian directors: Kitano Takeshi (Japanese director), Zhang Yimou (Chinese director) and 1m Kwon-Taek (Korean director). Dealing with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema is designed to show different historical and cultural configurations in which each cinema draws western attention. This thesis also illuminates different ways each cinema is appropriated and articulated in the west. This thesis scrutinises how three directors from the region have responded to this Orientalist discourse and investigates the unequal power relationship that controls the international circulation of films. Each director's response largely depends on the particular national and historical contexts of each country and each national cinema. The processes that characterise films' travelling are interrelated: the western conception of Japanese, Chinese or Korean cinema draws upon western Orientalism, but is at the same time corroborated by directors' responses. Through self-Orientalism, these directors, as 'Orientals', participate in forming and confirming the premises of western Orientalism.

  • Implementing English Education Policy in Japan: Intersubjectivity at the Micro-, Meso-, and Macrolevels
    Implementing English Education Policy in Japan: Intersubjectivity at the Micro-, Meso-, and Macrolevels Sunao Fukunaga A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Sandra Silberstein, Chair Suhanthie Motha James Tollefson Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English © Copyright 2016 Sunao Fukunaga University of Washington Abstract Implementing English Education Policy in Japan: Intersubjectivity at the Micro-, Meso-, and Macrolevels Sunao Fukunaga Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Sandra Silberstein Department of English English education in Japan has been stigmatized by a discourse of failure and desire (Seargeant, 2008). It fails to help students attain sufficient English proficiency despite the six- year secondary school English education. The inferior discourse has condemned teachers’ inability to teach communicative English. Yet, English is desired more than ever for access to new knowledge and the global market. Responding to the situation, the 8th version of national English education policy, the Courses of Study, went into effect in April 2013, proclaiming English as a medium of instruction in senior high school English classes. Research (Hashimoto, 2009; Kawai, 2007) finds the conflation of contesting ideologies make the macro-level policy not as straightforward as it sounds. An overt goal is to improve students’ intercultural communicative competence; another covert goal is to promote to the world what Japan as a nation is and its citizens’ ethnic and cultural identity in English (Hashimoto, 2013). Although studies elucidated the ideologies inscribed in the policy, few have examined teachers’ lives: the agents implementing the language policy at the micro-level.

  • SUMBANGAN TOKOH DALAM BIDANG PENDIDIKAN ISLAM Dato
    BAB IV HASIL SUMBANGAN TOKOH 1- SUMBANGAN TOKOH DALAM BIDANG PENDIDIKAN ISLAM Dato Syeikh Abdul Halim bin Haji Othman sememangnya amat terkenal dan sangat harum namanya di dalam bidang pendidikan Islam di zamannya. Ini adalah kerana beliau banyak membuat pembaharuan di dalam bidang pendidikan Islam ini. Beliau juga adalah seorang yang sangat berani melakukan perubahan terhadap pendidikan Islam di negeri Kedah terutamanya di Maktab Mahmud dengan menambah subjek- subjek akademik ke dalam sistem kurikulumnya yang tidak pernah dilakukan oleh sesiapa pun jua di zamannya pada ketika itu walaupun digelarkan sekolah itu adalah sekolah sekular ataupun duniawi. 212 Walaupun beliau ditohmah dan disindir oleh kawan-kawan seperjuangan di zamannya itu, namun beliau sedikitpun tidak mempedulikannya. Beliau terus mengorak langkahnya tanpa menoleh ke belakang lagi dengan mengatur perancangan serta strateginya untuk tetap memodenkan Maktab Mahmud sesuai dengan aspirasi zamannya ketika itu serta tuntutan pada masa akan datang.213 212 Abdul Majid bin Mohd Noor, bekas Mufti dan Mursyid Di Raja Kedah, Temubual pada 25 November 2009. 213Ghazali bin Yaacob, Setiausaha Zakat Negeri Kedah, Temubual pada 29 November 2009. 114 1.1 Membawa Pembaharuan Dalam Sistem Pendidikan Di Maktab Mahmud Masyarakat Islam di negeri Kedah dan sekitarnya mengetahui bahawa sekolah Maktab Mahmud ini adalah sekolah yang beraliran agama maka, seluruh silibus dan subjeknya akan menjurus ke arah itu dengan memberi penekanan yang sangat lengkap dari awal hingga ke hujungnya dari kecil ataupun besar. Namun begitu apabila peralihan tampuk kepimpinan diambil alih oleh Dato Syeikh Abdul Halim maka pembaharuan dilakukan oleh beliau. Matapelajaran di Maktab Mahmud pula bukan lagi tertumpu kepada bahasa Arab sahaja, akan tetapi Dato Syeikh Abdul Halim telah memperkenalkan matapelajaran akademik lain seperti ilmu hisab, ilmu alam, geometri dan algebra ke dalam silibus sebagai tambahan kepada subjek yang sedia ada serta diajar dan dipelajari dalam bahasa Arab.

  • Tennessee Symbols and Honors
    514 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK Tennessee Symbols And Honors Official Seal of the State Even before Tennessee achieved statehood efforts were made by local govern- mental organizations to procure official seals. Reliable historians have assumed that as early as 1772 the Articles of the Agreement of the Watauga Association authorized the use of a seal. The Legislature of the state of Franklin, by an official act, provided “for procuring a Great Seal for this State,” and there is also evidence that a seal was intended for the Territory South of the River Ohio. The secretary of that territory requested the assistance of Thomas Jefferson in March, 1792, in “suggesting a proper device” for a seal. There is no direct evidence, however, that a seal was ever made for any of these predecessors of Tennessee. When Tennessee became a state, the Constitution of 1796 made provision for the preparation of a seal. Each subsequent constitution made similar provisions and always in the same words as the first. This provision is (Constitution of 1796, Article II, Section 15; Constitution of 1835, Article III, Section 15; Constitution of 1870, Article III, Section 15) as follows: There shall be a seal of this state, which shall be kept by the governor, and used by him officially, and shall be called “The Great Seal of the State of Tennessee.” In spite of the provision of the Constitution of 1796, apparently no action was taken until September 25, 1801. On that date committees made up of members from both the Senate and the House of Representatives were appointed.
