MALAYSIA BOLEH: MELAYU JUGA BOLEH

SINGAPORE: A Singaporean child prodigy scored another success after he became the youngest to pass the ‘O’ level Physics, making him the world’s first binary scientific child prodigy.

Nine-year-old Ainan Celeste Cawley, although known for being a chemistry prodigy and presently studying chemistry in college, has exceptionally proven himself in a subject other than his main interest.

Despite never attending a single formal physics class, Ainan, of Irish-Malay parentage — whose grandmother Sabariah Abdul Wahab, 52, hails from Parit Yani, Johor, Malaysia — has just become a child prodigy in two science disciplines.

Ainan’s father, Valentine Cawley, told Bernama that it was great that his son was broadening his grasp of the other sciences while deepening his understanding of chemistry.

“All the sciences have something to say to each other, and Ainan is becoming conversant in all of them, over time,” he said.

Prodigies almost always specialise in one subject and they usually have one highly-developed skill but no other.

But it is remarkably unusual that Ainan should be developing other areas of strength while still developing his core interest in chemistry.

Ainan took the Physics ‘O’ level with the London Edexcel board in January this year, at the British Council here, at the age of nine years and one month.

This makes him the youngest on record to pass the Physics ‘O’ level.

Cawley said, he taught Ainan Physics informally at home over the past few months and no school was involved in his instruction.

This was how he passed Chemistry ‘O’ level, also with London Edexcel over two years ago, too, when he was seven years and one month old, he added.

He was entered into the Singapore Book of Records as the youngest person ever to pass an ‘O’ level then.

Ainan then joined Singapore Polytechnic to do a degree level Chemistry at the age of eight.

Cawley has daily updates on his gifted son, ‘The Boy Who Knew Too Much: A Child Prodigy’ at www.scientific-child-prodigy.blogspot.com. — Bernama

KERAJAAN PERPADUAN PAS dan UMNO: Rancangan Syaitan

9bdc9f0001350352ab0ce233952ee82c.jpg
Malaysiakini hari ini menyiarkan sebuah rencana mengenai Kerajaan Perpaduan PAS-UMNO yang mengejek nawaitu ini sebagai rancangan syaitan, diabolical plan serta mencemuh PAS melakukan kesilapan bodoh sebagai tajuknya, PAS' gross political blunders.

Nampaknya DAP dan beberapa penulis dan ahli politik China masih susah hati dengan nawaitu PAS dan UMNO untuk membentuk kerajaan perpaduan. Ong Kian Ming, penulis rencana tersebut, bermula dengan mencemuh Presiden PAS dan timbalan beliau dan berhujah PAS hanya rugi apabila pemimpin dan ahlinya bertelingkah mengenai gagasan Kerajaan Perpaduan.

Beliau bertambah ghairah dengan isu tersebut dileraikan dengan sidang akhbar yang dihadiri oleh Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang dan Hadi Awang. Bagaimanapun penulis terus membidas PAS apabila Pemuda PAS mempelawa Pemuda UMNO untuk suatu wacana ilmu.

Kenapa orang bukan Islam, China dan India, susah hati jika orang Islam dan Melayu bersatu dalam Kerajaan Perpaduan? Sebaliknya mereka suka jika orang Islam dan Melayu berpecah dan berkelahi sepanjang masa. Mereka susah hati jika orang Islam dan Melayu suka hati dalam perpaduan.

Logika hujah seterusnya ialah mereka telah berjaya memecah-belahkan kekuatan Islam dan Melayu. Taktik mereka ialah memecah kita dengan mengundi PAS supaya UMNO kurang kerusi. Akibatnya PAS jadi kurang kuat dan UMNO kurang kuat. Yang kuat DAP dan HINDRAF.

PAS sebenar bijak bermain politik dan harus diteruskan kerana dengan cara ini PAS akan menjadi pihak yang diperlukan. Bukan saja jadi king maker tetapi jadi king sekali. Pemimpin PAS boleh jadi Perdana Menteri yang akan datang. Jangan ikut telujuk DAP. UMNO jangan hentam PAS kuat sangat dan PAS juga jangan hentam habis-habisan pula.
