KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — The current education system is in need of a revamp, including Islamic studies as the curriculum is overly focused on rituals rather than life values, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said. Dr Mahathir, who was education minister from 1974 to 77, said he has met with Education Minister Maszlee Malik many times to discuss how to fix the education system, adding that discussions are “evolving”.New Straits Times“When you say way of life, that means certain values. These values are not taught . In fact, the teacher himself doesn’t know,” he added.“That is what they emphasise. If you don’t perform this ritual you go to hell,” he was quoted saying.
“We need to go back and find out what are really the standards insisted by the Quran for Muslims so as to lead the way of life of a Muslim,” he added.
chedetofficial mujahidrawa maszlee anwaribrahim limkitsiang You got it! How can v produce NobelPrize winners with rote learning, ad maths pass mark of 15 etc? What can Tahfiz schools contribute 2 national unity, producing entrepreneurs & inventors? Stop d brainwashing TODAY!
Reflect by gazing at a rambutan_seed. It is resilient and reliable. Are we born with less instinct and values? So is it unlearning or learning?
Agreed chedetofficial Selepas 1400th Islam sekadar Agama dan segala ritual semata.Ini kauh dari kebenaran yg dibawa oleh para Rasul Tuan semesta alam.Kerosakan lebih teruk bila agamawan bernafsu mula mengarabkan masyarakt.Sebab itu beragama spt Najib,Azeez,Jamil masih korup
Only now we realise this?
Agree patut pelajar di serap kan mengenai islamic value mcm bercakap benar, hormati orang tua, amanah, bertanggungjawap agar pelajar ini menjadi manusia yang ada human dan moral value terutama hubungan dgn sesama manusia dan masyarakat. chedetofficial

By all means examine d teachers conducting Islamic studies. Stdnts r merely following what is taught & told.
Benar tu Dr.M! Sekurang kurangnya bebudak Muslim tu buat secara amali( practical). Yang Dr.M sepatutnya kondem ialah amali tersembunyi dari mana mana pihak sekali pun. Itu lebih merbahaya bukan?
