EDUCATION

A friend and I came across this question??
"Is today education influence the thinking of today's students?"
In terms of a mandarin educated person and a malay-english educated person..

A friend that told me a malay-english educated person will never work or putting efforts in getting more privilege for the chinese while a mandarin educated person will be more dedicated and put the efforts in getting the priority for the chinese.. A malay-english educated person may think of malaysian privilege.. which is malay,chinese,indian while a mandarin educated person will really understand the importants and the needed action of getting the privilege for the chinese race.

i wonder why.. is it really the education base that influence our thinking.. i being to the same condition, thinking the same thing.. being a malay-english educated person and surprisingly survive in a chinese and mandarin oriented society.. from dun understand why the chinese must stress the only chinese so much.. till i really can feel the importance and how this kind of efforts is needed... but just wonder is it a wrong perception for the malay-english educated chinese person whose thinking is neutralize and thinking for all races instead of its own race???

What is the perception of chinese educated person towards malay-english educated person?? will this kind of people jus consider malay-english educated person as the chinese who do not protect chinese??? i really wonder..

I being ask many times... do u regret that u dunno chinese? i would said i did.. as a chinese dunno how to read chinese or even write chinese.. really feel ashamed at some times.. but it depend whether we use the language or not.. before this.. i think chinese language not important and didn't feel that i regret as i do not need to use it.. but as i grow.. i found many things we needed chinese language.. for social, working, interpretation or instructions.. although malay-english educated people will feel ashamed of dunno their mother tongue language but it is not what they wish.. as education base for a child is choosen by the parents and the child is not given the chance to choose but jus the chance to learn what language given to them. but sometimes jus feel hurt enough when being laugh or tease of not knowing our own language...

I would said maybe the best combination should be chinese-malay-english education in different stages given to a child.. and parents should give more efforts to educate the children on their mother tongue language... hope in the future there will be more children being educated in their mother tongue language..
