Higher Education: Where Got Crisis?

Where got crisis?

Stupid Me! Week at LoyarBurok kicked off yesterday with a stellar article that required actual reading (as opposed to cursory glances at 140 word messages). So on day 2, sit back, turn up the volume and you shall receive.

Watch PopIN’s Minister of Higher Education YB Fahmi Reza’s slideshow presentation and the video of his address on the crisis of Higher Education in Malaysia recorded during PopIN PopOUT 3: PM PM! event at Central Market Annexe, on 12 June 2010. He takes us through the shift in access to higher education in Malaysia from colonial days to the recent 10th Malaysia Plan – to illustrate how the Government is going against Article 12 of the Federal Constitution.

Press play and get educated.

Student Power!

• Sepuluh Tahun Sebelum Merdeka also by Fahmi Reza.

Watch this Freedom Film Fest 2007 winner for the history lesson they didn’t teach you in school – we dare say it’ll mind-warp you more than Inception.

20 Oktober 1947 merupakan hari bersejarah dalam perjuangan berperlembagaan rakyat menuntut kemerdekaan dari penjajah British. Dokumentari ini menceritakan peristiwa-peristiwa yang membawa kepada berlakunya hari mogok “Hartal” seluruh Malaya yang dijalankan sebagai membantah Perlembagaan Federation ciptaan Kerajaan Kolonial British dan UMNO, serta kebangkitan sebuah gerakan kemerdekaan rakyat di Malaya, sepuluh tahun sebelum merdeka.
