"On other issues - free quality breakfast, opening up hotel swimming pools to students, doing away with streaming and exams, making education accessible to OKUs and undocumented children..."


GOOD or BAD, cannot be dictated by what was done. It is the end result. Yes, I opened 1000 schools, I done that. ....What was the result?. Doing something does not mean GOOD ultimately.


Example: Quality breakfast....how was this program undertaken?

Purpose: good eating habits and civic consciousness about food.

Funding:
The free breakfast programme, he said will be handled the same way as the current Supplementary Food Programme (RMT) and prepared by the schools' respective canteens.

290 million ringgit will be used to fund this.

What meals?: (50 million) Milk and "other foods" What is the list?.....none?. 250 million goes to the actual "food" (unknown as well).

How long?: 190 days.


I am skeptical of such "general" planning. Could do better than give a chart of what kids eat in canteen/school today VS what are the food plans. Aside terminating canteen contracts.

Most of us are grown up in our kids days with
a) ice popsickles
b) bee hoon / noodle soup
c) fried rice
d) maybe some ice milo/soda drink
e) those crap sugar stuff that cost from 10 to 50 cents.

so...what is this program replacing?...
250 million isn't much to be honest for ALL schools.

We have 7773 primary schools today.
For 190 days, for 7773 schools there.... each gets an allocation of
$170 per day.

If there are total 170 primary students (standard 1-6) ....what kind of "Quality" breakfast can you get with $1 ?.


It's NOT a genius math, it's just there..... RM$170 per day, per primary school.
