  16. Newspaper cutting Friday June 12, 2009 UmnoYouth all for English as a must-pass subject in SPM KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth supports the idea of making English a must-pass subject for the SPM, its chief KhairyJamaluddin said. However, he said the movement’s backing was on condition that the Government implemented several measures first. He said retired teachers who were proficient in teaching English should be recruited, adding that language teachers from Britain, Australia and New Zealand should also be engaged to help in the effort. Khairyalso urged the Education Ministry to increase the time allotted for teaching English in schools, and wanted students to pass the Malaysian University English Test before they could enter local universities. “Our recommendations will give the authorities more urgency in the issue of improving the teaching of English in schools,” he told reporters after chairing the movement’s meeting here yesterday. Khairysaid Umno Youth did not want a repeat of the confusion and disagreement from various quarters following the government’s earlier move to introduce the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English at primary level. On another matter, he said he would hold a dialogue session with eight Universiti Malaya Chinese students associations next week to expand knowledge on the 1Malaysia concept. He said MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong would also hold similar sessions with Malay NGOs such as 4B Youth and Malay student groups. On PAS’ call for Sisters in Islam (SIS) to be banned, Khairy said the party was contradicting its own so-called democratic principles. In Muar, Johor MentriBesarDatuk Abdul Ghani Othman said the state government supported the call for English to be made a compulsory pass subject for the SPM. He said although the state had protested against the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English, the subject was important for Malaysians to master. “We support the plan but students should first be given proper lessons.”

  22. Malaysian Cuisine NasiLemak

  23. Malaysian Cuisine • NasiLemak is traditionally sold wrapped in banana leaves. • With roots in Malay culture, its name is a Malay word that literally means 'rice in cream'. The name is derived from the cooking process whereby rice is soaked in coconut cream and then the mixture steamed. Sometimes knotted screwpine (pandan) leaves are thrown into the rice while steaming to give it more fragrance. Spices such as ginger (common in Malay cuisine) and occasionally herbs like lemon grass may be added for additional fragrance. • Traditionally, this comes as a platter of food wrapped in banana leaf, with cucumber slices, small dried anchovies (ikanbilis), roasted peanuts, hard boiled egg, and hot spicy sauce (sambal) at its core. As a more substantial meal, nasilemak can also come with a variety of other accompaniments such as chicken, cuttlefish, cockle, stir fried water convolvulus (kangkong), pickled vegetables (achar), beef rendang (beef stewed in coconut milk and spices) or paru (beef lungs). Traditionally most of these accompaniments are spicy in nature. • NasiLemak is widely eaten in Malaysia, even as a dish served in Malaysian schools. Nasilemak is a common breakfast dish, sold early in the morning at roadside stalls in Malaysia, where it is often sold packed in newspaper, brown paper or banana leaf. However, there are restaurants which serve it on a plate as noon or evening meals, making it possible for the dish to be eaten all day.
