np, actually if you take form 6 class, they cover SEA history. Not sure if they went in detail with thai during ww2. I read one of the text book in mid 90s.

Wasn't in arts stream when in Form Six, if I was, I would have flunked STPM arts stream. Science stream pun just cukup makan.

lol. i never went to Form 6, only until form 5 (science stream). but it was the biggest mistake of my life to go here. Should have just went to art stream.

Agreed, some friends who did quite well in Form 3 was pressured to join science stream for SPM, performed under par, when switched to arts in STPM, pass with flying colours.

This was something that opened my eyes at age 19 - different people got different talents/interests and science stream is not the be all, end all.

P/S: sorry derail tered abit to education pulak...

PP/S : would definitely show the youtube video to my eldest child - these things are definitely not covered in SPM Sejarah - need to show them the need for different perspectives, to verify and challenge commonly held narratives.
