Funny clown court..Why we need revival of higher English standards!

Case to revive English-medium schools

Today, many are  lamenting that the government's greatest mistake was abolishing English-medium schools. They believed that today's low English proficiency in Malaysia was a phenomenon after the abolition of English schools.

 Apart from seriously considering support for the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in English, the ministry ought to really give serious thought to consider re-introducing English-medium schools.The importance of English in the school curriculum, and the urgency of improving English proficiency among students in this era of globalisation should not be underestimated and under valued..

The fruits of Malaysian policies on  English and Education .

This video demonstrates the results of years of sidelining English in favor of BM in our institutions of academia. Although awfully funny but is also thought provoking at the same time.

And to think the lawyer below  is representing the Goverment for the MACC . To be fair his line of questioning was an attempt to discredit the witness and cast doubts over her credentials , and it may still be understandable that he failed because his command of english was so deplorably funny that no one took him seriously. I do symphatize with his weakness in  English proficiency but not his illogical reasonings to cast doubts. Just cannot suffer fools .

I put forth to you  my case via  the command of English exhibited by our learned DPP who has been a lawyer for 24 years. You decide on whether the standard of English used is in dire straits or not.A typical product of our Goverment's policies and attitudes on the acceptable standards. 


On a lighter note, i watch this again at times when i really need a good laff !

FACE PALM.!  
See the guy on the bottom left of the screen shot..there are dozens of such moments with statements that can easily qualify for these throughout the cross examination and the line of questioning/ questions  that borders on sheer stupidity ,regardless of whatever language it is in.
 making all who are  associated with it look extremely bad.!.


Intentionally or Inadvertently this guy made a mockery of the seriousness of the inquest into TBH's demise.
Glad at least Malaysians have a sense of humour to mock him back.

Selection of funniest comments on this video:

This lawyer dude should just strangle himself since he demonstrated how,coz he runs the risk of being shot by the grammar police and vigilantes seeking out moronic lawyers.

You r not qualified..duh the lady is a doctor! if he is unconscious his body will be heavier..Yup the indisputable law of physics .I m still laffing!

Education Ministry, this is the time to wake up and start bringing  the best of English to a greater heights

And we all wonder why there's criminals out there on the streets. With a prosecution like this, who needs a defence lawyer. How the hell did that lawyer pass the bar exams -.-by drinking loads of shots and bartender passed him with flying colors..that was the bar he came from downing few more before this cross examination

If I ever committed a crime I want this guy to be the prosecution. I'd probably get away with murder.

This video is solid proof on the importance of the english language.

If you think this is bad, imagine the quality of the teachers and professors in our public universities. We were just about to rescue ourselves with the teaching of Math and Science in English, then comes the U-turn by our DPM. We can expect more of this kind of performance in all places. Sigh

 He is THE lawyer representing the government?? Wow!

after watching this i feel like strangling myself , switching between unconsciousness and consciousness a couple of times , losing and gaining weight in the process and finally getting thrown off a building .

There's no doubt that TBH killed himself, if this lawyer's the one who interrogated him.

i have to inform you after 3.30pm there is no reason anybody want to harm the DISEASE.?.! ke..ke..ke.

i spend three days to study what you have to said!

i have question, whether you are a lawyer or not?

May be i am younger than you but i already served 24 years as a lawyer...

no...no... she confirm that before falling unconscious while falling down conscious...

if he was unconscious, his body will be heavier...

you already jump down? experience jumping down?

all the four legs...

I feel like *strangulating myself* I'd watch it again and " I'd strangulate myself!!

 Pornthip even said " you have to believe the judge....! "

Look on the bright side. if you ever get caught for a crime in Malaysia, don't need to hire a good lawyer. Just hope this fool is your prosecutor! LOL!

At 4:40 and 5:39, the judge and the guy in the middle were probably planning to jump down from a building already. i swear i heard the Judge said "aiyoh" at 4.41!!!!

Did anyone else get the irony? He was questioning her competence in her field of expertise. lol

You are saying at level 14 he was unconscious , suddenly landed he was conscious?
before going down unconscious while landed conscious .?

Unconscious at the building. then unconciously drop down then when hit upon impact he becomes conscious.

SERIOUSLY?

how to speculate something not clear when he talk unclearly to the Dr ?

"I put it to you" that you need to go for english classes..CONTENT IS WORST THAN HIS ENGLISH!

 the court should have just done this joker a favor and allowed him to conduct his antics in Bahasa. Then at least he will only make a fool of himself in his line of questioning and save himself the blushes on his kindergarten English. Just wonder whether he is indeed the secret weapon of MACC? Cloud everyone's thinking, including himself of course, and maybe hope the outcome will be what they hope for. God bless Malaysia.

how can a lawyer while questioning a witness to a case, inject his own opinion into the witness' testimony and make believe that is what the witness state? he spent 3 days studying Dr Pornthip's findings and yet he knows nothing about what she is trying to convey?

his claims on how Dr Pornthip is not qualified to perform the autopsy in this country or the university that Dr gradutated from is not recognized in Malaysia are complete bullshit. At least get your point valid before talking it out

 but being a DPP, it is  his job is to discredit any witness .....but he only managed to discredit himself

Hakim pun tergelak bila dia sebut "Order"....aiyooo. Kalau macam ini peguam SPRM yang best, tak hairanlah kita masih tak berjaya menghapuskan rasuah!

This video has dozens of face-palm: moments. There's one guy who's sitting in the front in the shots of the MACC lawyers, the guy in the middle, I can't tell if he's laughing or crying

.Dia cakap UMNO english!

oh my god its appalling ........ these are the kind of graduates being churned out of our universities every year and these are the main reason why we are fighting for meritocracy in our country 

lawyer in front desk having migrane from listening to this lawyer's crap .... arghhhhhhh lol


Beyond all human comprehension. Better call in MIB we've got an alien lurking in our courts.

OMG this was reaaaalllllllllly painful to watch. How the hell did this buffoon graduate from law school? He is an insult to my profession. *facepalm*

to international audience, please do not assume we malaysian are like that, even most of us wonder how he could pass his primary exam! LOL

this is embarrassing..especially since it's been uploaded here for the whole world to see..broken english is one thing but asking stupid questions totally takes the cake..24 years as a lawyer  and that's the best you can do?..now we're all gonna look like idiots

this lawyer is to fill the national quota.Typical product of Dasar Ekonomi Baru, what to do

the policeman beside the door is thinking "i think i speak better english than him! i should be a lawyer and he should be a policeman"

why is this guy even a lawyer? he should be in the sawah padi talking to himself

Tony Fernandes can start another subsidiary. ' Now Everyone Can Become A Lawyer". From RM0.50


think even if he translates into BM may end up sounding like
" Saya taruh sama engkau, engkau terbaring. (I put it to you, you are lying.)

Combatting Corruption in Malaysia, what they say!!

In this Cafe Latte chat, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan, Performance Management and Delivery Unit's (Pemandu) anti-corruption director Ravindran Devagunam, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) investigations director Datuk Mustafar Ali, and Deputy Education Minister P. Kamalanathan to discuss the topic of combating corruption in Malaysia. The chat was curated by The Star Online news editor Martin Vengadesan.

















Begging the panel's pardon, but as long as public perception of selective prosecution on high profile cases is not addressed, the people will always be cynical despite genuine attempts to  combat the corruption scourge. A very painful thorn stabbing  the public's sentiments is the perceived gross injustice on a past very high profile case of the death of the  political aide,that has yet to see closure for the family and the public, even if past grievances can be forgiven n we can move on.

 The people may just be able begrudgingly, to  forgive and forget money politics, misuse of public funds,abuse of power  and bribery in the past and may be anxious enough to give the Goverment the benefit of doubt and get on with it in a clean slate but the one thing on everyone's conscience is the death of a innocent young man. That is the one challenge to those with a sense of decency which has been  very hard to overcome.
 Much less forgive and forget...people need to know what really happened , to pacify their outrage!

 This feeling of moral indignation still lingers powerfully in the psyche of the people. An emotion that needs addressing and exorcising and not ignored nor underestimated.
 How can there be any redress if this powerful emotionally scarring feeling is allowed to fester?



But this video below is funny and thought provoking on corruption in Malaysia , have to view it to have  laugh and be contemplative of the state of corruption in Malaysia
