Heh... Shadow committees list for Pakatan Rakyat is out and all sorts of analysis is being made of the list (some quite funny, others full of conspiracy theories).br /br /Of note is by one a href="http://educationmalaysia.blogspot.com/2006/09/academic-jokes.html"Prof Shamsul Amri Baharuddin/a, the Director of the Malay World and Civilisation Academy of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia who said (a href="http://malaysiakini.com/news/107808"in Malaysiakini/a) thatbr /blockquotespan class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;""(DAP's Penang deputy chief minister II) P Ramasamy is placed in the International Relations Ministry. He has a political science background but his specialty is in labour politics.br /br /"Tony Pua (DAP publicity secretary) may have studied in Oxford but that does not mean he knows much about the higher education system," he said./span/blockquoteFor Prof P Ramasamy, not only does he specialise in Labour politics, he has taken active part in resolving international conflicts in Sri Lanka as well as Aceh, helping with peace negotiations as well as drafting of constitutions. That's certainly more qualified that the current foreign minister, a href="http://my-1.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/26784-maybe-obama-was-busy"Datuk Anifah Aman/a who went to United States to talk about Altantuya.br /br /As for me, yes, I did study at Oxford, and of course, that does not mean I know much about higher education. For that matter, it does not mean that I know much about anything at all, economics, finance, telecommunications, technology, transportation etc etc. So, really, I should just keep my mouth shut and let others who are experts over at the Barisan Nasional frontbench do the talking.br /br /Do I sound incoherent? Probably. Top notch local academics like Shamsul Amri Baharuddin makes me feel stupid, and ashamed.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37045477-2208298829416549076?l=tonypua.blogspot.com'//div
