One school = 1Malaysia

It seems right now the movement for single stream school in Malaysia is getting the momentum they need. The comment from Prof Emeritus Khoo Kay Kim results in flows of comments and supports from the silent supporters of this idea. Among them are politicians from both side of divide of BN and PR. I really hope this idea is not simply shot down due to their 'weirdness' in Malaysia. Even the prime minister doesn't fully shutting down this idea. When the people want it then shall it be are the words from the PM.

We are still a long way for this idea to be realized. We first should address the oppositions for this idea. More dialogue, debate, conference should be done to bridge the gaps and differences between the supporters and the oppositions. The supporters of SSS should explain to the objectors of the advantages of the idea and also to listen the disadvantages from the other side. The debate, dialogue, conference of course should be done in non-chauvinistic manner with full sense of professionalism and respect. The idea here is to explain and educate and not bashing them. So no extremism here please.

On our side we already have a great academician in Prof Khoo Kay Kim that explains the pros of this idea. Being Han himself, it's good to have him to explain the advantages since most of the opposition are Han. Example of one organization that oppose this idea is a NGO called Dong Jiao Zong. This is an organization that their existence depend on the vernacular school. Of course this is the fiercest opposition of the idea.

In politics, both BN and PR have their own supporters and oppositions. Most of the supporters are from Malay MPs and the opposite applies to the non-Malay MPs. Since that it the case, the Malay MPs from BN and PR should get to their peers and have some consensus for this idea. Because politic is the main obstacle to this idea, the MPs also should make this straight and ask themselves whether they want to divide the people and head for the fail state of Malaysia or unite them in the most uniting way of 1Malaysia spirit.

Finally since there are supports for this idea, I think we should have a public poll to determine whether the majority wants this idea to be pursued or not. Public poll is an election like poll that let people vote for an idea. It's a simple yes or no and it's been done in developed countries for many issues. It's a way for a government to know what the people want and act on it. But of course it should be done when we have the go from the people.
