The YE Program is recognized and supported by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Entrepreneurial and Cooperative Development. Since its inception, more than 10,000 students have participated in this program. In 2007, 36 schools and more than 1,000 students in Penang and the Klang Valley participated in YE.
The Young Enterprise Program (Program Pengusaha Muda Malaysia) is similar to the same program in the United Kingdom, which is more than 40 years old. Malaysia is the first country in this region to introduce Young Enterprise in secondary schools.
AMCHAM remains committed to supporting and expanding this program to reach as many students as possible.
NOTE: "purpose to enable Malaysian Form-4 students (16-year olds) to become entrepreneurs, by creating and managing their own companies"
and Mr. Nathan and Ms. Kris has been appointed to guide our company by AMCHAM.
so where does our teacher advisor stand in this program?
apparently it's not stated...
but... our teacher advisor, also my history teacher, Cik Noraini seems to be taking over the company
deciding what to do with the money
what to sell
when
where
how
and... she doesn't bother listening to Mr.Nathan
and making her own decisions... without asking us or what-so-ever
owh and she's racist too...
QUOTE: "budak cina akan beli lebih kan? sebab budak cina lebih kaya."
*though not completely exact* but this is what i understood
she said that infront of all of us members...
i know we have to respect her because she's our teacher
but she's going completely overboard and we can't say anything...
so yesterday i went out to Plaza GM with teacher to buy some products for tuesday's sale...
going into every shop... she asked us to buy almost everything that caught her eyes...
to her, she thinks we could sell anything...
but as a company, we need to think strategically and be cunning on how to manage the money, what to buy, how to sell, etc. etc. right?
and shouldnt it be us, students who are suppose to do the deciding part?
also, teacher's mind was never in line with us...
her own ideas WE must buy
or she'll start saying, we're not listening to her...
all this while i've been thinking, isnt teacher advisors suppose to advice instead of telling us what to do?
dictionary.com: a teacher responsible for advising students on academic matters.
seems that i'm right.
dictionary wise that is...
back to the shopping moment,
because i couldnt really decide myself but the money is with me and no other members were with me *other than edwin* we both we drilling our heads of on whether to buy or not.
with our teacher there telling us TO BUY we both were worried what if our members wont like the products we bought...
good thing we had another teacher advisor *which is nothing like Cik Noraini*, Pn. Yuza with us
it helped us decide a lil better...
when we got home...
pn. yuza dropped me and cik noraini at school
by right... cik noraini was suppose to wait till i got home before leaving
but she doesnt give a damn about me...
if i got kidnapped... it would definitely be her faultFULLSTOP!
total spent: seven hundred plus
gained: worry madness, main teacher advisor's attitude
conclusion: dead tired + emo
what i've stated may be a mistake
i apologise
but this is my view on things that is happening to me
will see what'll happen on monday
sealed.
