Let us teach our children that they too can become the next Prime Minister. Teach our teachers how to creatively teach Civics and History and to acquire the art and science of Revisionist Civics, Counter-factual History, and Radical and Transformational Leadership. By Azly Rahman Political dynasties pose intellectual dangers to the well-being of our emerging political consciousness. They create political-economic elites that continue to expand power, structure hegemony, and indoctrinate the masses. It has been a phenomena the world over. We are seeing this unfolding right before our eyes. OUR USUAL REMINDER, FOLKS:

Now that TDM is back and trying th change history, this would be in line with his "look east" policy, see how the Japanese distort and twist the facts of their aggressive past towards China, Korea and SEA and hence re-write history. report abuse disagree 0 agree 24 ... written by clarity, April 18, 2009 12:09:14 Azly Rahman, Allow me to extend my greatest respect to your wisdom and clarity of mind.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl who came to Malaysia from Mongolia.She was like Cinderella and she came here to look for her boyfriend who was a high ranking malaysian official. She search high and low for him becos he was her boyfriend.Being pregnant by him,she was determine to to get some money to pay for her food back home in Mongolia.At last she found him and begged him to pay her the 500,000 US$ commission she earn while acting as his interpretor during their trip to Paris to purchase 3 submarines. This boyfriend by the name of Rojak Baginda got scare and when his wife,Mrs Labrador found out about the commission,she refused to pay Altantuya and ordered her to be C4.

Just take a look at the mass media, AG, IGP, MACC, kangaroo judges , PDRM and Marikan manipulate the laws and rules of the country to suit their evil needs.

I simply can't accept this kind of breed. Till today he's still full of lies..... Malaysians should be made known of what actually happenned on 20th October 1947. What was the People's Constitution all about.... How the unsung heroes were deleted and distorted from our history lessons.... History on People like Dr. Burhanuddin al-helmi, Ahmad Boestaman, John Thivy etc... should be made known What was the actual reason for CPM to start their arm struggle? I hope to meet Chin Peng one day and hear his side of the story from his mouth... OUR HISTOR NEEDS TO BE REWRITTEN BY INTELIGENT, HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE LIKE YOU..... report abuse disagree 0 agree 2 ... written by malgal, April 19, 2009 09:54:12 each one of us can help carve the kind of history we want today. whether it be a continuation of the glory of individuals and dynasties that are deified or that of history of real good men and women who chose truth, honesty and integrity -never mind if they would not be sequined, tiara-ed or titled. think of perak today, it is history in the making - which course it takes depends on choices and the ones brave enough to make the right one. report abuse disagree 0 agree 0 ... written by educationist, April 19, 2009 10:25:09 "It is the “people’s history” as American historian Howard Zinn would say, that ought to be honored." again, for fear of appearing negative, how can it happen here? when the umnoputras will want to promote only their version of history? when none other than that ex MOE went on record to say the contributions of other races in the independence struggle should be deleted! report abuse disagree 0 agree 1 ... written by Hakim Joe, April 19, 2009 14:28:57 Even before we can start about thinking of doing what Dr Azly prescribes, we need to get rid of the "ketuanan" concept first. How can we teach our children that they can aspire to be the PM one day, when the constitution says otherwise (because of their race)? report abuse disagree 0 agree 2 ... written by Barking out loud, April 20, 2009 01:46:29 Truly a beautiful piece. I have not been taught that type of history. I wished I was informed as such when I was in school. I was only taught to appreciate what was written and add a lot of salt and pepper to what Khoo Kay Kim has written in my history books. We all know that there is the truth in our history books but not all of it was the full truth. We were never taught to question what the full truth was, just understand and appreciate what it was told to us and pass our exams. report abuse disagree 0 agree 3 Write comment You must be logged in to a comment.
