The impotence of our education system.

Unless you can dribble a ball like Lionel Messi as what the commentator here says in his running commentary, you best go back to school and learn how to read government lock-down orders and stay home, instead of loafing the streets like the idiot this guy is...although personally I think he should also work on his talent in a sport like rugby or a snatch thief..........OR


.......... don't need to get a good education but instead go into politics and speak like this bungling fool (👇) as most politicians do and perhaps even succeed in amassing enough wealth to buy a degree from some dubious university and cling on to political power.


Incidentally both the above clips are not scenes from our country so as to not hit a raw nerve and create any controversy to the many sensitivities of all Malaysians living in denial. 
It is always good to have a good laugh in a stressed situation this Covid19 lock-down has brought about in our nation. 
But if you ask me, the quality of our education system here is in a deplorable state and if this shot-gun government of the day does not focus on science, math and technology but continue with propagating only in religious studies to the young minds at an early age, we will be (and are already) surrounded by such idiots both in government and in public sphere. 

Curiously, we read about almost every civilised country in the world trying to solve or find a cure or an antidote for the virus that is ravaging the world in worrying proportions on a daily basis. Tell me something honestly, what has, if any, Malaysia done in finding an antidote or a cure currently? Do we even have any allocation or expertise for medical research in R&D for the scourge of the Coronavirus as a program in any institute of higher learning or in government? 

I am grateful for the many brave medical front-liners attending and helping the inflicted, and the military and police in monitoring the general public in maintaining law and order, yes, but what has this government done beyond what they are already doing as in medical research? 

Or do we all sit back, stay home and say it is our fate and leave it in the hands of the Almighty?
