Small-minded Napoleons in Education Ministry?

I chanced upon this matter when I visited Tony Pua’s post on The Malaysian Oil Dilemma forum.

It brought back memories of when I complained about why our MP for Batu Gajah was not invited for an official opening by our Sultan, of a new building in SMK St. Bernadette Convent. Cheng was Head Prefect then.

Donor dignitaries who were present included Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah, an old pupil of SMK Sultan Yussuf, Puan Sri Siew Yong Gnanalingam, and Datin Seri (wife of Datuk Seri Lim Gait Tong) who were both old girls of the school, because of the Sultan’s presence.

If I remember correctly, the school principal later invited YB Fong to present a souvenir to her, probably to make up for the slight.

But what happened to Hannah Yeoh is unbelievable. Details are in Tony Pua's and Hannah Yeoh’s blogsites respectively: Philosophy Politics Economics: Banned From School Reunion? and Hannah Yeoh: SMKSU Prefects' Reunion

I wish our Minister of Education will set a good example by looking into this matter and hopefully clear this ludicrous situation of ‘us’ and ‘them’. What will the students think of the adults? A bunch of big boys and girls into ‘don’t friend you’, ‘your friend is not my friend’ and so on and so forth. Shameful indeed.
