THERE are three portfolios, outside of the Prime Ministership, in the Cabinet that I consider the most important:* Finance Minister* Economic Affairs Minister* Education Minister. Then we have the widely celebrated Education Minister making the proud announcement of making free education available to Malaysians. They don’t spend wasted taxpayer funds to send their young for religious “education” nor do they tolerate teachers or universities that bring religion into education. Since after Musa Hitam left the post of Education Minister in 1981, we have had a minister who was either of religious “scholar” in background or outlook in mindset. The priorities of this education minister are so laughable that sometimes I want him to stay there forever as he is quite good comedic material, if it is not so tragic.
