"Education in Malaysia is an on-going efforts towards further developing the potential of individuals in a holostic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intelectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonic, based on a firm belief in and devotion to God"
Ladies and gentlemen, I, as a Malaysian citizen proudly present our wonderful National Education Philosophy (NEP). Well, as the title says, ‘fault in our education philosophy’. So, what is the fault?
I would like to draw your attention to the phrase “firm belief in and devotion to God”. As we all know, Malaysia is a multi-racial country and the three main races, Malay, Chinese and Indian have our own standpoint when comes to religion and God. And we have our own place to worship to our repective God (although i belief thr is only ONE GOD).
Recently, the Malaysia government has been demolishing the Hindu temples around Malaysia especially in Selangor. According to a survey, it’s stated that, 1 temple is being demolished in every three weeks.
Why s incident this happening in Malaysia? How do the Indian people show our devotion to God as stated by the National Education Philosophy, “devotion to God” if the government is acting like this? Is the “devotion to God” in NEP direct to only one race? I don’t think so. So, they are not following what they have written down.
Even in our Rukun Negara it is stated “kepercayaan kepada tuhan”. To be honest, every time I read this, I dont feel any national spirit in myself.

This 'rukun negara' or National ideology is written at the back of all workbooks provided in schools. And when I was in my primary and secondary school, we were force to memorize this. Now, when I read this phrase. I think it’s just a LIE. And the so called Government for 'ALL' is neglecting their job and doing others things which they are not suppose to do.
So, where will this lead do? Why they are doing to us? Aren’t we part of Malaysian citizen and don’t we have the right as equal to others. As stated in the federal constitution, in article 11 “All of us have the right to worship our own faith “and the government is responsible to preserve the worship places. And why they are not doing their job?
We don’t ask the government to build a new temple but please let us to preserve the temples we have.
NO Matter who u are….respect is given if only u respect others... So, what is the fault?
Regards,
Citizen
