Plus it's easy to get Honours, but to get 1st class honours that's tuff.....very tuff, to get 1st class honours at Cambridge University that's sure aint an easy feat.

PS: Damn! The site's ugly.....

I think you don't understand, how can you make a comparison on 1 side, and don't know the other side? such as comparing a degree with an unknown education??
what is this? you don't have a clue what he has.. maybe spm, maybe degree, or maybe masters?
even a guy without any education could see that..
clearly this is one sided..
please try to find out all the 'unknown educations' first.. then compare...then post this comparison...
I'm not questioning about the comparison between 1st class and honours.. that isn't my point here...

no.. it is not accurate.. information that is inaccurate is considered wrong. the comparison says only 'Bachelor of Arts Honours' but the accurate info is 'Bachelor of Arts (Honours)in Islamic Studies'..

Clearly that you people like to take unknown information from the internet without doing any further findings first.. its a REAL shame..

Yes, actually I do know it's BA in Islamic Studies. And yes, I've done some research on some of them. And yes, I did ignore those that were stated as 'unknown'. And yes, you are making assumptions that we were making assumptions. Shame on you.

Yea, I think it's already been established that the qualifications one posses doesn't reflect on levels of intelligence. Just look at our President....

So no need for all this trivia...

With just 3 post, uputra81 is already -12....

Yup education dun mean a thing, but it does shows the level of intelligence of one politician. But the fact is a country which almost 500 times smaller the Malaysia but still out performs almost 3 times in terms of GDP per capita. A country which has virtually no natural resources, solely relying on trade to sustain has achieved to this within 50 years, say it all.

And fact also, for minister here to screw up so badly and publicly humiliated and still in offices say it all.

Heck I wouldn't even want to go to war with Singapore, their military expenditure is almost 3 times as much as us.

That guy's an "anomaly".

Seriously, I do agree that education isn't everything. It is not a super-accurate gauge of one's intelligence.

And more importantly, politicians certainly do not need much intelligence. Just look at our "honourable" Ministers and Member of Parliaments. Or Bush, for that matter!

But I think it's pretty telling that our country's politicians do not seem to care much about education. I certainly think it's important for any leader to educate himself the best he/she can.

Education's important not just for the degree, but to broaden one's mind, train it to think. Perhaps that's the reason why our government is trying to push out more undeserving graduates than increasing the QUALITY of education.

Thanks for the links, uputra81. I will update the list with the extra information.

However, there's really no need to be so defensive. Criticism is really the first step to improving oneself. Do you really think our politicians are flawless models of everything good in Mankind?

Seriously, look at the crap that's being spewed in our Parliament. Our leaders have no respect for the Constitution, the people they represent, or even their fellow MPs. They just do and say whatever they like.

But let's not divert from the topic at hand. No matter what, there's obviously a distinct difference in the level of education when we compare our leaders with Singaporean leaders. What that means for us, the rakyat (citizens).. is up for debate. LOL!
