Theme Park's Royal Link

The above is verbatim from the Edge weekly page 36 this week. This article profiled a prince from Negari Sembilan aged 33, who worked for Khazanah. He has astonished background being educated in English Boarding School and went to Cambridge for a degree. Before joing Khazanah he worked with Mckinsey, one of the most prestigious consulting company from US. 

Usually, as i read about any of the rich and famous, i realised most of them are educated and trained from oversea. I always wonder why the the powerful elite, range from rich businessman, politician, Royal families sent their children to famous schools overseas typically United Kingdom. Even our current PM, Dato Seri Najib and his brothers are trained in UK since young. Hence, the fact is the rich and famous study oversea the poor and unknown study locally! 

What's more interesting is, we Malaysian like to appoint these so called Malaysian, oversea trained  to lead us as though they know more than us about how to run the country whether in public and private sector. By the way the current head in Khazanah, Azman Moktar was also trained oversea. And the smart oversea trained Malaysian will appoint a locally trained Minister to tell us that Malaysian Education System ranked one of the top in the world. Not sure whether you could see a big contradiction or rather just coincident! Worst is the smart oversea trained Malaysia continue to flip flop on the education policy. Honestly, i am not sure why is it so difficult to decide what is the good education system for the less privilege children in Malaysia. If you are a father that sending kids to Malaysian schools and drawing the evidence that most of the successful leaders and the rich and famous are generally oversea trained, i think the answer is pretty obvious. 

Well, it is still difficult because the bunch of people that decide on the future of our locally trained children do not send their kids to Malaysian school instead oversea school. That is why they flip flop on the policy. As the people that decided are in difference (ie they do not have local school going kids), so good education or bad education policy does not really matter to them. Imagine, if all Malaysians are prohibited to receive education from oversea, the same bunch of people will be fighting to death on what is a good education to fellow Malaysian.
