筹建南院的历程

山重水复疑无路

柳暗花明又一村

南方大学的成立

欢呼掌声的响起

蕴藏量无数艰辛

Datuk Tan Liang Soon,Deputy Chairman of Board of Directors,

署理董事长拿督陈联顺

董事长拿督张文强

2012年对于南院来说是个不同凡响的一年。这一年好事接踵而至,令我们应接不暇之

余,喜不胜收。为了集中人力物力,以及精神焦点,我们决定将本来要个别举行的四个盛

典集中起来,定在11月17日校庆日,一并举行,借以扩大声势,广泛宣传,使南方大学

学院的盛事变为全国华社共襄齐举的盛事,使华社在争取建设大学的百年征途中,看见曙

光,体会力量,增进信心,勇往直前。

这四个喜讯为:1. 中医大楼开幕 2. 文物与艺术馆开幕 3. 升格大学学院 4. 22周年校庆

我们将诚邀全国华教热心人士前来参与其盛。相信届时整个南方大学学院的金山岗上,

将人气旺盛,志气如虹,气势万千!

因此,这一期的《今日南方》,第27期,将以一份校庆四喜临门特辑的面貌呈现,希

望它将成为我国华社文化历史的一页值得留念的篇章。

2012 is a year of utter difference for Southern College. Many events appear, one after another, making us busy beyond description, but we are jubilated instead. In order to conserve manpower and resources, more so for a mental focus, we decided to assemble four events together to be celebrated at one go on 17th November which is also the 22nd anniversary of Southern College. We hope that, by so doing, we can expand the momentum and do a massive propaganda to make an event originally native to Southern College into an event with a national congregation. So that the Chinese community can see dawn amidst the long and arduous journey to set up community-based Universities in the nation.The four events are: 1.Opening of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Building 2.Opening of the Museum & Art Gallery 3.Upgrade to the status of University College 4.22nd Anniversary of Southern College. We shall cordially invite the nation’s Chinese education enthusiasts to join the fanfare. We believe that, at that time, the hill of ImpianEmas will be thronged with thousands of people and imbued with great mental strength----a great panoramic view! Hence, this edition of Southern Today, the 27th , will assume the outlook of a special edition for this great celebration. We hope that it will have a memorable page in the history of Malaysian Chinese community.

升格大学学院

Southern College was approved to be upgraded to University College in August this year. This is the result of years of strenuous effort of the Johor Bahru Chinese community. However, the road ahead for Southern University College is now more loaded with responsibilities. The burden on ourshoulders are heavier. We hope all concerned will continue so that Southern University will tread much further.

beauty of the South!

那些黎明时启航却永不归来的人

他们的踪迹遗留波浪之上—一只贝坠落海底

(一)实践南方大学之道的愿景

《 南 院 二 十 周 年 纪 念 特 辑 》 院 长 献 词 曾 论

述:“人类精神史的实践起于深远的大愿行,一个

民族的文化道统的传播亦复如是;一所大学的核心价

值、学术生命及文化风华等等,更需要远大的文化理

想、历史使命以及坚忍不拔的精神来指引。我们相信

大马华裔要创办一所不一样的大学之理想,在大愿行

的精神实践史中最终会得以落实。眼前最好的模式就

是三院联合申办一所新的大学,集中财务资金、学术

队伍、管理人才以及各种的资源,通过群策群力,

终能众志成城。如果三院不能在短期内成为联合大

学,其中一所升格为大学—-比如南方学院先升格大

学—一样是大马华社实践文化教育理想的重要和突破

道南 • 迁于南鼎

实践南方大学之道的战歌

实践愿力之贯彻,而我们相信大马的南方人正实践这

伟大的南方精神!”。

两年后的今日,南院终于在今年初正式受邀及提

交申请升格为大学学院,我们正等待最后的批准及注

册程序,实践南方大学之道的愿景正迈入重要的阶段

(注:我们已经在8月10日正式注册为南方大学学院,

简称:南方大学)。我们相信在全体华社的支持、优秀

学术人员的加盟及众多学生成为南方大学的成员,一

所富有文化理想、历史使命、优质教学及学术研究成

果的南方大学正在建构中,我们深深期许未来的南方

大学能发挥一所大学应有的作用及影响力,为形塑民

族、社会及家国的未来奉献关键的力量!我们要特别

感谢高教部部长拿督斯里卡立诺汀及副部长拿督何国

忠博士协助南院顺利升格为大学学院!

(二)实践哲学与大学教育的危机

然而,无限的挑战还在未来。根据当代思想家麦

金泰尔(Alasdair MacIntyre)批判当代社会的实践活

动出现重大问题,人们不再为了实践事物的德性(依

据亚里斯多德万事万物都有德性,事物内在德性的获

得才是实践的完成)而努力,反之生活世界的实践往

往为了获取利益而活动;比如打球或下棋不再为了体

育或智力本身的德性而努力,人们是为了取得奖金而

打球或下棋,部分打球下棋大赛已完全是商业活动。

同样的,今日教育最大的危机是教育的商品化,

大学教育的产业化。君不见我国有许多私立大学是上

市挂牌公司,学生是客户也是产品,这样的大学教育

商品化已经危害教育本身的理想及德性。为人师长应

如韩愈《师说》中所指负有“传道、授业、解惑”的

三重使命,因此讲师、教育是伟大的志业,大学的讲

The Battle Hymn of the Praxis of Southern University’s Great Learning Way

02

师更是要自重及全心全意去“悟人子弟”,为人导

师,备受学生的敬爱。师生互相自重敬爱,大学校园

就是让大学之道的德性获得实践,大学就是一个温馨

的学习乐园!可惜当今日益严重的商业化之大学教

育,我们往往只看到商家客户的关系,没有师生伦

理,这是现代大学教育的危机所在!南院乃至未来南

方大学要如何在这商业大潮中开出奇葩,实践大马华

社创办一所不一样的大学,以发挥一所大学的作用和

影响力,不啻是全体华社及南方大学全体同仁的重大

挑战!

有论者认为,真正的大学应独立于政府,独立于

党派,独立于特定意识形态,独立于商业社会的功利

与短视。同时,真正的大学又必然以关怀自己民族、

关怀国家进步、关怀社会正义、关怀人类命运为己

任。有了这四“独立”、四“关怀”,大学就获得内

在的生命与品格。这样的文化理想、思想高度以及关

怀层面,当然要成为实践南方大学之道重要的坐标,

永久激励吾人努力不懈,造福民族社稷家国人群!

(三)毕业骊歌与生活战歌

我们也要和诸位毕业生分享大专教育毕业的重要

意义。《大学》开宗明义说大学之道,在明明德,在

亲民,在止于至善;又说:苟日新,日日新,又日

新。向善修德与不断创新的精神,都是“人生大学园

区”最重要河川之二。我要借用这些传统的智慧,呼

南方自强 厚德载物

唤我们内心深沉久远的心灵复活而日新起来,保持永

远年轻学习的心,在这骊歌高唱的季节播种永不止息

的梦想,让梦想的双翼带动您振翅高飞,诸位同学的

未来人生大学园区必然精彩多姿!如果有任何困难,

记得先知莫哈默德的教诲:上苍只协助那些尽心尽力

的人──如果诚挚的祈祷山向我们走来,而山纹风不

动,那我们只有向山走去!诸位同学一定要诚心倾听

内心的声音,义无反顾的去实践自己的理想──向人

人的宝山走去,您必然会获得人生无价的犒赏!

在这骊歌高唱时节,诸位同学更要有心理准备接

受“生活战歌”的挑战,那就是理想和现实往往分离

的窘境与质问,因此寄语毕业同学,今日的毕业是

新的学习之里程碑;要“活到老,学到老”,这是我

们都“知道”的常识,但是要真正“做到”,就必须

靠“知行合一”。这也是生活战歌所带来的重要实践

挑战,我们要好好结合“理想与现实”的实践旨趣,

把幸福人生及美好社会的德性实践完成,以奉献民族

社稷及家国所给予的付托。在此愿以大儒王阳明这

句“知是行之始,行是知之成”话来和大家共勉!

最后,要再次祝贺320多位毕业生及获奖的优秀

生,诸位请把您理想的翅膀勇敢地长出来吧,振翅

高飞,鹏程万里,我们誓愿南方大学必是大马华裔历

史意志及人类精神史实践的未来式,南方大学必定以

您为荣,未来属于我们的,更是属于诸位青年才俊!

(2012年5月13日于第21届毕业典礼讲话)

Those who sailed at dawnBut will never returnLeft their trace on a wave—A shell fell to the bottom of the seaBeautiful as lips turned to stone… …In truth they have not completely diedTheir whisper travels through thickets of wallpaperTheir level head still lives in the ceiling

道南 • 迁于南鼎

(1) The Praxis of Southern University’s Great Learning Vision

As I wrote in a message on the twentieth anniversary of the College: “ The history of mankind always resulted from the great passion of praxis, so was the dissemination of cultural tradition of community; the core value, academic longevity and cultural mission and so on of a university need guidance from cultural idealism, historical mission and tenacious spirit of the community. We believe the ideal of Chinese Malaysian to establish a different and special university will be realized through the practice in the great passion of praxis. The best method currently is to apply for a new university by three colleges (namely, Southern College, New Era College and Han Jiang College, all funded by the Chinese Malaysian community) unanimously in order to gather and concentrate financial capital, academic staff, administrative talents and all sorts of resources, so as to succeed through concerted effort. If the three colleges could not merge as a university within a short time, the upgrading one, let’s say Southern College for example, would be a kind of important breakthrough by the Chinese Malaysian community to realize its cultural education ideal. The culture of great passion of praxis of thousand years has its origin in the state of mentality-----and the development of culture and history of the community would also need the top leadership of the society to contribute their effort. We believe the Southern people of Malaysia are executing this great Southern Spirit!”

Today, two years later, Southern College was invited early this year to upgrade to a university college and we submitted the application accordingly. We are now waiting for the final approval and registration procedure (note: we were officially registered as Southern University College on 10th August, 2012).The praxis of the vision to become a university college has come to the most important stage, and we believe that with the support of the whole Chinese community, the joining of excellent academicians and a large number of students to become the members of this great learning campus, a Southern University with cultural ideal, historical mission, quality teaching and academic research is now in its formative stage. We deeply hope that the Southern University will be able to exert the function and influence of a university so as to model the future of the community, society and country by contributing through the great passion of praxis. In this connection, special thanks must be given to the Minister of Higher Education, Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Khaled Nordin and Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Datuk Dr.Hou Kok Chong, for their advice and assistance.

(2) The Praxis Philosophy and the Crisis of University Education

However, unlimited challenges are yet to come. According to the contemporary thinker, Alasdair MacIntyre, who criticizes the praxis of activities in the contemporary society, we no longer make effort to practice the virtue of things. (According to Aristotle, all things have virtues. The obtaining of inner virtue is the fulfillment of praxis.) On the contrary, the praxis in the world today tends to look for interest; for instance, soccer or chess playing no longer looks for the effort made for virtue both physically or intellectually. People are now looking for money to play soccer or chess and these two activities have become commercialized.

Similarly, the biggest crisis of education today is the commercialization of education and corporatization of university education. Don’t you see that many private universities are listed as companies, its administrators called managers and the students are customers and products simultaneously? This kind of commercialized university education has jeopardized the ideal and virtue of education itself. Being an educator, one should practice what Han Yu said in “Elaboration on Teacher” and hold three missions, which are to “deliver morality, impart knowledge and explain difficulties”. Thus, education offers a great career for lecturers, especially for university lecturers who should behave with dignity and enlighten and encourage students whole-heartedly. Being a lecturer, one is well respected by the students. When there are lecturers and students getting along very

南方自强 厚德载物

well, the great learning campus will be a place for the great learning way to practice its virtue, and the university will become a cozy and happy place! Unfortunately, the commercialization of university education has become worse, and we can only see the relationship between businessmen and customers, not ethics between lecturers and students. This is where the crisis of modern university education lies! How Southern College or the future Southern University College will do well in the commercial tide to realize a different university established by Chinese Malaysian and how it will influence others as a university is a big challenge for the whole Chinese Malaysian Community and everyone in Southern College!

There are authors who hold that a true university should be independent from governments, parties, ideologies, and commercial companies. At the same time, a true university must be concerned with its own community, the development of the country, social justice and human fate. Having these “four independences” and “four concerns” will the university gain inner life, identity and mission? With these cultural ideals, philosophy and vision, Southern University College will find its own strength, inner life and mission. This will motivate us to continue with our efforts and bring benefit to our people and our nation!

(3) Graduation Farewell Song and the Battle Hymn of Life

At this juncture, we also wish to share with all graduates the important meanings of graduation from tertiary education. A well-known Chinese ancient book “Da Xue (Great Learning)” made clear the main theme from the very beginning by saying that the purposes of great learning are reviving the true virtue in oneself, caring for others and ceasing one’s effort only at the best point. Another saying from the book is that we should renew ourselves every day. The morality and self-renewal spirits are two of the important principles in the “Great learning campus”. I would like to make use of is traditional wisdom to call for the inner spirit of revival and renewal in order to keep an ever young spirit of learning, to dare dreaming at this farewell hour, to fly further and higher, and find your future great learning way a very sparkling one! If you meet with any difficulties, remember the teaching from Prophet Muhammad: God only assist those who put in their efforts to the fullest – if the sincere praying for the mountain walks towards us, but the mountain does not move, then we can only walk towards the mountain! My dear graduates, you should listen to your inner voice sincerely and realize your dreams. Everyone of you please go towards your own treasure mountain and obtain the priceless rewards of life!

At this juncture where the farewell song is sung, all graduates should be mentally prepared to accept the challenge of “The Battle Hymn of Life”, i.e. the predicament and questioning of the separation of ideals and reality. Therefore, I would like to share with all graduates that graduation today is a new milestone for learning. “Never too old to learn”: this is what we all know but to put of into practice needs the “combination of knowing and practicing”. This is also the challenge brought by the battle hymn of life, and we should combine the “ideals and reality” and their interest and purport, so as to fulfill the praxis of the morality of a blessed life and the excellent lives of society, in order to contribute to the people and the nation. I hereby would like to share with everyone this line written by the famous philosopher Wang Yang Ming: “Knowing is the beginning of practicing while practicing is the completion of knowing.”

Last but not least, I shall again wish all the more than 320 graduates and those graduates who obtain excellent awards to bravely grow your wings of dreams and to fly as highly as you can. We guarantee that Southern University will certainly become the future tense of the Malaysian Chinese ambition and the human spiritual historical praxis. Southern University will definitely be proud of you and the future belongs to us, especially to all the young gifted talents like you!

千年的憧憬看到曙光

大学之道找到扎根的土壤

中华文化踏着世界文明的步伐

在亚洲最南端

南方学院谱写了一首诗,

其中提到南院落入大海成为

岛屿,屹立陆地成为高山,

跳上天空成为星星。

这一期的《今日南院》很不一般。

首先是名字改了,改成《今日南方》,因为南方

学院升格为大学学院。

其次是它非一个主题,而有四个。因为好几个月

来,我们等待着首相莅临颁发南院升格大学学院的证

书,而日期屡次延宕,一直延到如今,靠近南院的校

庆日。因此我们决定一次联袂举行四个典礼-----升

格大学学院庆典,中医大楼开幕典礼,文物与艺术馆

开幕典礼,二十二周年校庆典礼----戏称“四喜临

门”。所以这一期的《今日南方》是此盛大典礼的特

辑。然而,在四喜之中,升格大学学院毋庸置疑的是

意义非凡。为了使这升格的意义突而显之,我们想出

了一个动人的名目-----“升格大学,普天同庆”。

因此这一期的《今日南方》就以此为幡名旗号。

升格大学,普天同庆

升格大学学院固然欣喜,但是社会上许多人疑

惑:为什么不是直接升格为大学,而是大学学院?因

此我们刊载了一篇厘清这课题的文字。升格大学学院

的其中一个大任务是开始设计与实施自己的学士文凭

课程(硕士与博士文凭课程将是后来的任务)与提供

教学素质。这牵涉到我们要建立的是怎样的一所大

学。本期特邀学术资深副校长作一番论述。

升格大学接着下来要问的是:如何把它管好?为

此,我们专访了一位著名的管理专家谈大学应注入管

理元素与领导元素。

在我国办华教彷如一项马拉松,需要意志力与坚

韧不拔的毅力。本期也刊登一篇文字描述我国特出的

Words of the EDITOR

A hundred years dream realized Birth of a Chinese community University Thousand years aspiration sees dawn The Great Learning Way finds a budding soil Chinese culture treks in world civilization At the southernmost tip of Asia Molding a scene of diversity An island A mountain A star Oh, how can we not celebrate this universally!

Note: Our National Literature Laureate, the late UsmanAwang,

also a Board member of Southern College, wrote a poem

in which he described Southern College when put in the sea

becomes an island, on land a mountain, up in the sky

becomes a star.

This edition of Southern College Today is different. Firstly, its name has been changed to Southern Today, because Southern College is upgraded to be a University College.

Next, it is not with one theme, but four. Because for a couple of months, we have been waiting for the PM to visit and present the certificate of approval to be a University College. However the date was postponed and postponed until it draws near to the Anniversary Day. Hence we decide to celebrate four events together on one day----Upgrade to University College, Opening Ceremony of the TCM Building, Opening Ceremony of the Museum & Art Gallery, and the 22nd Anniversary-----in a joyous mood it is called “the arrival of four happy occasions”. Therefore this edition of Southern Today is a special edition for this grand event. Among the four events, the upgrading to University College is undoubtedly one which carries a special meaning. In order to hike up the significance of upgrading, we chose an attractive slogan to the occasion-----Upgrading to University, A universal Celebration! Therefore this becomes the flagstaff of this edition of Southern Today too.

The Arrival of Four Happy Occasions

Upgrading to the status of University College undoubtedly is a happy event, but many people in the society are perplexed: Why not upgrading directly to University instead of to University College? Hence in this edition we have one article explaining this. One of the major duties of upgrading to University College is to start to design and implement homegrown degree courses (with Masters and PhD courses at a later stage in time) as well as to elevate the teaching and learning quality. This touches on the question of what kind of a University do we plan to build. For this, we specially invited the Senior VP of Academic Affairs to write an essay on it.

南方自强 厚德载物

After the upgrade, the next ensuing question would be how to manage a University well. For this, we interviewed a famous Business Management expert who talked about the integration of the University with management and leadership.

Running Chinese Education Resembles a Marathon

In our country, running Chinese education indeed resembles a marathon, it requires determination and resilience. In this edition we publish an interview with a handicapped marathon runner. We wish to motivate ourselves to do a better job by emulating this extraordinary personality.

The establishment of Southern University College is good news for the Malaysian Chinese community. The grand event of 17th November will witness the gathering of many Chinese educationists, with everyone’s countenance reflecting their mounting spirits, much akin to what the famous poet Wu An sang in a poem of his. We take this opportunity to introduce this poem to the readers:

Onthestairsofthenewera ----In commemoration of 180 years of Chinese education

On the stairs of the new era At the doorsteps of the 21st century We sing enthusiastically In our mother tongue The growth of the ethnic education We sing the dream across the century

升格大学?升格大学学院?两者有何异同?---兼谈大马1996年大学与大学学院法令

6月19日,南院领导一行人去高教部,被分发一份

批准升格大学学院的公函副本。南院终于被批准

升格大学了?大家雀跃万分。随之而来的是,整个华

社对升格的真相迷惑不解:是升格为大学,为什么又

说是升格为大学学院呢?看来,社会人士对本邦的高

等教育体制不甚了解,有需要在此撰文澄清一下。

大学是指中学以后的教育,经过大学教育,将被

颁发一纸大学文凭证书,此文凭可以是学士文凭,硕

士文凭或博士文凭。一般上,大学这名称是受到一国

教育部规范化的,必须通过一连串的认证程序之后,

才被批准使用“大学”的称呼。

大学学院是指还未全面获得大学资格之前的大专

阶段,它可以颁发大学文凭,甚至硕士文凭以及博士

文凭。但它还不具备全面大学的自主性,它还在教育

部的监督之下以进行学习成为一所全面大学。在马来

西亚,这个学习过程需时五年,它必须逐渐地放弃它

在学院阶段与外国大学办的双联课程,而进入自身设

计的大学课程。被批准升格为大学学院之后,学院才

可以颁发自己的大学文凭。

简短地来说,一所学院和一所大学学院的不同,

主要在学院只能办专业文凭课程(Diploma courses),

要办学士文凭课程,必须与外国大学双联,学生获取

的是外国的学士文凭(Bachelor Degree)。而被升格为

大学学院之后,才可以开始办自己的学士文凭课程。

在开办这些学士文凭课程之前,我们必须设计这些学

士课程,且获得高教部核准才能收生开办之。这时,

大学学院应逐步将原有的外国大学双联课程放弃,转

为自己设计的相关学士课程。在这个过程中,大学学

院可以开始设计硕士课程以及博士课程。等到五年之

后,大学学院的规模达致学生人数四五千人,学术水

准被审核过关,它就会被批准为正式大学。

UNIVERSITY? UNIVERSITY

COLLEGE? ANY DIFFERENCE?

---Also on University & University College Act, 1996

升格列车

11 On the 19th of July, 2012, a group of Southern College leaders went to the Ministry of Higher Education, and were given a photo-copy of the approval of its status to a University College. Hurray, Southern

College has been approved for an upgrading to a University College! All were jubilant. What followed was the fact that the whole Chinese community was perplexed: Since it has been upgraded to University, why talk about University College? It is apparent that the local community is rather ignorant about Malaysian higher education system, hence this write-up is timely to clear away the haze.

Clarifying the Haze of UC

A university provides education after secondary school. After the University education, a degree will be awarded, this can be Bachelor, Master or PhD Degree. Normally, the nomenclature of University is regulated by the Ministry of Education of a country. A series of accreditations procedures must be gone through before the term ‘University’ can be used.

University College is the stage of higher education before the level of a full-fledged University is attained. It can award Bachelor, Master and even PhD Degrees. However, it does not possess the autonomy of a full-fledge University. It is still under the surveillance of the Ministry of Higher Education in the process of learning to become a full-fledged University. This learning process lasts for 5 years in Malaysia. It must gradually discard the twinning programmes it partnered with foreign Universities while it was in the College phase of operations and move towards designing its own homegrown programmes. After its approval to be a University then only is it allowed to award its own University Degrees.

Gradually Phasing Out the Twinning Programmes

In short, the difference between a College and a University College is mainly that a College can only run Diploma courses, to run Bachelor Degree courses, it must twin with foreign Universities, and the Bachelor Degrees the students obtain are those issued by the foreign Universities. The College has to be upgraded to University College before it can begin to run its own Bachelor Degree courses. Before it can run these courses, it must design them, and get the approval from the Ministry of Higher Education before they can take effect. At this time, the University College should gradually phasing out the twinning programmes with foreign Universities, and turn to designing homegrown Bachelor Degree programmes. In this transition period, the University College can begin to design Master and PhD Degree programmes. In five years time, when the University College’s scale of operation reaches a student population of four to five thousand, and its

12

academic standards are met, then it will be approved to be a full-fledged University.

Malaysian higher education is regulated by the University & University College Act 1996. The rules and regulations this Act are described below:

Item 22 stipulates that, approval of the Minister must be obtained to become a University or a University College. The applicant can only submit an application upon the invitation of the Minister. The applicant must submit the application to the Registration Superintendent, complete with the proposed University College’s plans and management procedures and the University College Constitution. The Registration Superintendent will vet through the Constitution and make recommendation to the Minister as to whether or not he or she agrees with the application.

Approval of an Application based on Certain Conditions

Upon receipt of the Registration Superintendent’s submission, the Minister will approve or reject the application. He or she may or may not add supplementary conditions. If the application is rejected, there is no need to say why. The Minister approves the applicant to be a University College based on the following conditions:

1. Does the applicant have the ability to operate the University College and provide the necessary courses? 2. Does the applicant have the ability to manage the University College so that it runs smoothly? 3. Does the applicant have the practices to ensure that it can provide education up to standards? 4. Does the applicant operate in accordance with the Constitution approved by the Registration Superintendent? 5. Has the applicant committed any offense of cheating and unethical behavior related to bankruptcies of companies?

Approved University Colleges are not allowed to set up branches, or twin with any national or private institutions of higher education, without the approval of the Minister.

Approved UCs are Not Allowed to Set Up Branches

Item 24 of the University & University College Act stipulates that all approved University Colleges must send in application to be registered. The conditions of registration are:

-- Approved University College must apply for registration within five years after approval, after this time period the approval is considered null and void. -- It must attach the framework of school fees for the courses offered.

If the Registration Superintendent fails to approve the registration, the institution of higher education has the right to appeal within 21 days. The reasons for disapproval by the Registration Superintendent may be:

A) Based on security and health reasons: (1) The location is not suitable for education (2) The space for students’ leisure is not satisfactory (3) The location is not suitable from the perspective of fire prevention (4) The building is unsafe B) The University College status being applied for is detrimental to the welfare of the public and students of Malaysia C) The name of the applicant is not suitable D) The school fee system for students is not suitable

CEO Must be Appointed by the Board of Directors

Item 30 stipulates that, unless given the approval of the Minister, the University College is not allowed to carry out... ---any education or training ---any collaboration, franchising or twinning with any University local or foreign, and any University College (either public or private)

Item 31 stipulates that, The CEO of the University College must be appointed by the Board of Directors and registered by the Registration Superintendent. The Registration Superintendent may refuse to register a CEO for the following reasons: (a) He or she has committed an offense of ----unethical acts ---corruption ---Imprisonment for more than 2 years on a criminal offense (b) He or she has been involved in a case of company bankruptcy (c) He or she is mentally unstable (d) His or her behavior has had adverse effects to the Malaysian public and students (e) His or her appointment is ended by the Board of Directors

University College in violation of the above regulation will be punished not exceeding RM20,000 or imprisoned not exceeding two years, or both.

Bahasa Malaysia Becomes a Compulsory Subject

Item 41 stipulates that, all private higher educational institutions must teach their courses in Bahasa Malaysia. They can teach in English with the approval of the Minister, or teach in the Arabic language for Islamic programmes. In such cases, Bahasa Malaysia becomes a compulsory subject. Students must pass Bahasa Malaysia before they are awarded with any Certificates, Diplomas or Bachelor Degrees. Item 43 stipulates that, all higher education institutions must teach the following subjects: (1) Malaysia Studies (2) Islamic Course for Muslim students (3) Moral Education for non-Muslim students

Students must pass the above three subjects before they are awarded with any Certificates, Diploma or

14

Bachelor Degrees. Item 55 stipulates that, the Minister may withdraw the registration of any University College based on the following conditions: a) Registration of the University College is based on misleading reasons b) Violation of the rules of registration c) Violation of rules of this Act d) The University College’s discipline poor e) The University College has not followed the essence of the Constitution f) The University College operates on contrary to its objectives

Item 85 stipulates that, when a University College violates the rules and regulations, any of the following people are liable for the offense:

(i) Directors (ii) Managers (iii) Secretary (iv) Staff position similar to managers (v) CEO (vi) Clerks (vii) Servants (viii) Agents

Anyone can seek acquittal if: --- He or she can prove that he or she does not know of and would not condone the crime being committed --- He or she has taken reasonable preventive measures --- He or she has investigated the circumstances full-heartedly

The Difference is Thousands of Miles Away

Item 92 stipulates that, the Minister has the right to allow the University College to be exempted from any rules of this Act.

Viewing the upgrading to a University College from the above legal perspectives, some members of the elite have remarked that this merely marks the beginning of bigger issues to come. Such utterances are not totally unreasonable. What we can foresee is, after the upgrading, we must obey the law more astutely and be cautious every step of the way. Otherwise there is the danger that the registration may be revoked at any time. Compared to the business of education in the world’s greatest nation, USA, where higher education is wholly under the jurisdiction of the University and the government can not intervene----- the difference is thousands of miles apart!

15(一) 南方大学之道

2007年12月在《大学之道》揭幕仪式上笔者做《道南.大学记》的发言:“上一个一千年前,文化

的“道”来到湖南一带的南方,岳麓书院继承了“道南正脉”之文化道统。渡过洪荒一千年的时间之海,文化

道统已经迁移到了南洋之滨的南方了。我得于在三院(南方学院、新纪元学院及韩江学院)联合申办一所新大

学的建议书中,提出“正道南矣”的命题,冀望华社三院的“联合大学”可以继承“道南正脉”的精神,媲美

千年学府的岳麓书院。

大马华社“联合大学”之成立,是时间、意志和智慧实践的未来式;终将是“道南”文化精神史的一部

分。”但是,我也表示了明日之忧:“今临南方金山岭,登高望远,百岁之梦,慌惶来访;南国有材,文风奇

野,惜不见三院同心,有明日之忧;千年之约,大学之道,开百代人才,天下为用,南方之美。百年之后,当

知今朝;是为道南大学记。”

到了2010年,笔者在南院二十周年专书的序文《千年之约:从大学之道、南方精神到鼎迁于南》中如此

写道:“人类精神史的实践起于深远的大愿行,一个民族的文化道统的传播亦复如是;一所大学的核心价值、

学术生命及文化风华等等,更需要远大的文化理想、历史使命以及坚忍不拔的精神来指引。我们相信大马华裔

要创办一所不一样的大学之理想,在大愿行的精神实践史中最终会得以落实。

眼前最好的模式就是三院联合申办一所新的大学,集中财务资金、学术队伍、管理人才以及种种的资源,

通过群策群力,终能众志成城。如果三院不能在短期内成为联合大学,其中一所升格为大学——比如南方学院

先升格大学—一样是大马华社实践文化教育理想的重要和突破发展。千年文化大愿行──天下大动之源起于心

志──社稷民族的文化历史发展也需要社会领导阶层的实践愿力之贯彻,而我们相信全马的南方人正实践这伟

大的南方精神!”

正如人类文化精神史的实践意志之展现,南方大学学院(南方大学)终于在2012年8月10获得注册,成为

大马华社的第一所民办非营利的大学。这距离南方学院成立之初,已经22年;距离宽柔中学专科班则是37年

了;追溯宽柔学村前辈在1913年的播下教育的幼苗,真正是百年树人的岁月;再源溯到槟城五福书院的创

办,已经是漫漫二百年的沧桑了!这样的南方大学之道的历程,说明了什么呢?也许真如岳麓书院道南正脉所

蕴含的深意:一千年前文化道统传扬到湖南的南方,如今这新的一千,文化道统已经来到南洋之滨了。二百年

前五福书院的幼苗,在千年之约的时间之河的洗礼下,一棵千年文化教育大树正在扎根,参天大树可期矣!

独立于特定意识形态,独立于商业社会的功利与短视。同时,真正的大学又必然以关怀自己的民族、关怀国家

其实,关于大学的使命、办学理念、规划管理以及影响力等的论述汗牛充栋,这四个独立及关怀,当然非

因此,在实践这四个独立和四个关怀以及种种大学理想的历程中,笔者认为有两个梦想是至为关键:知识

的觉醒与社会的自由。如果一所大学不能在知识的产生、诠释及传播,也就是对广大的社会群众产生知识觉醒

及教育的作用和影响,那么这所大学就没有什么值得期待了;要让知识产生积极的作用,社会制度一定要保障

乃至捍卫自由(当然学术自由及思想自由就是关键了),没有社会制度的真正自由,大学、知识以及教育很难获

制度的自由及正义。这两个梦想相辅相成,南方大学除了一般的培养社会职业教育功能之外,万万不能在这两

(1) Southern’s Great Learning Way

In December 2007, I made the speech of <Tao of the South: The Great Learning> at the Unveiling Ceremony of <The Great Learning Way> and I said, one thousand years ago, the Tao of culture came to the vicinity of Hunan Province and the Yue Lu College inherited the cultural tradition of “The Positive Vein of the Southern Tao”. After another thousand years, the cultural tradition has moved to the south to the shores of Nanyang(translated as Southern oceans). In the proposal of the three colleges( i.e. Southern College, New Era College and Han Jiang College) to jointly apply for one new University, I postulated the idea of “The Positive Tao is now in the South” and wished that the three Chinese community colleges will set up an Integrated University to inherit the spirit of “The Positive Vein of the Southern Tao”, so as to emulate the thousand-year-old Yue Lu College.

The set up of the Integrated University in Chinese community is the future tense of time, ambition and wisdom, it surely will be part of the history of Southern Tao cultural spirit. However, I also expressed my worry of the morrow: “Striding on top of the hill of ImpianEmas, looking far, perplexity came upon me; the South has

18

talents, it has an exotic cultural atmosphere, but regrettably the three colleges do not think alike, there are many worries on the morrow; the appointment of a thousand years, the Great Learning Way, this will nurture talents for centuries. The universe is for us, southern is beautiful, after a hundred years, we will know what there is today, hence this note to record the Great Learning of the Southern Tao.”

By 2010, in the preface of the 20th Anniversary special Edition <An Appointment of A Thousand Years: From The Great Learning Way to The Southern Spirit to Ding Shifts to the South>, I wrote thus: “The history of mankind always resulted from the great passion of praxis, so was the dissemination of the cultural tradition of community. The core value, academic longevity and cultural mission, etcof a University need the guidance from the cultural idealism, historical mission and tenacious spirit of the community. We believe the ideal of Malaysian Chinese to establish a different and unique University will be realized through the practice in the great passion of praxis.

The best method currently is to apply for a new University by the three colleges (namely Southern College, New Era College and Han Jiang College, all funded by Malaysian Chinese community) unanimously in order to gather and focus the financial capital, academic staff, managerial talents and all sorts of resources so as to succeed through concerted efforts.If the three colleges could not merge as a University in a short time, the upgrade of any one, let’s say Southern College first for example, it would also be a kind of important breakthrough by Malaysian Chinese community in the realization of the cultural education ideal. The culture of great passion of praxis of a thousand years has its origin in the state of mentality----and the development of culture and history of the community would also need the efforts of the top leaders of the society. We believe the Southern people of Malaysia are executing this great Southern spirit!”

Just like the development of the practical history of human cultural spirit, Southern University College was successfully registered on 10th Aug, 2012, thus becoming the first non-profit University of Malaysian Chinese community. This is 22 years after the formation of Southern College, and 37 years after the Advanced Studies in Foon Yew High School. Tracking back to 1913 when the forefathers of Foon Yew School Village sowed the seeds, it is a hundred years to nurture people (A famous Chinese saying). Going even earlier we had theset up of Wu Fu College in Penang, thisindicated a period of two hundred years of tortuous paths! What does this journey of Southern’s Great Learning signify? Maybe this is exactly what Yue Lu College mean in <Positive Vein of the Southern Tao>: One thousand years ago the cultural tradition moved to the South in Hunan, now, one thousand years later, it has moved to the shores of Nanyang. The seeds sowed at Wu Fu College two hundred years ago has been baptized by the river of the appointment of a thousand years and this tree of thousand-year cultural education is firmly rooted and we are expecting a towering tree!

(2) The Vision and Five 5-year Transformation Programmes

The University that we would like to build is a “humanistic and research University based on the confluence of the Eastern and Western Civilization and a Combination of Tradition and Modernity”. We hope that the Eastern and Western civilization will freely interact, tradition and modernity will actively intertwine, humanistic spirit in full embrace, and excellent teaching and learning and superb research performance will benefit the community and the nation.

We believe that Malaysia in South Asia has the strength of world human civilizations converging in this locality, and Chinese community has excellent ethics of macro educational viewpoint. In line with this new thousand-year historical trend, we should be able to build a different kind of University, one which will be able to join back the truncated tune of NanyangUniversity of the 50s and maybe even go further beyond. Let’s hope to send out appeals and put into practice the long-sublimed ideals and mission, let the building of a University be turned into the planting of roots of the cultural tradition, and let it finally grow into a towering cultural tree of The Southern Tao!

In the first 5-year Transformation Programme of 1368 and the second 5-year Transformation Programme of 2368, we developed the vision of <The Southern in Self-Renewal, The University of Integrity”. We raised five 5-year Transformation Programmes which include upgrade to University College, raise academic standards to become full-fledged University and become a world renowned University eventually.

Presently, through the TransfromationProgramme of 1368, we have achieved our first objectives of upgrading to be Malaysian Chinese community’s first non-profit University. Next, through the second 5-year Transformation Programme 2368 and the third 5-year Transformation Programme 3368, we want to be upgraded to a full-fledged University. Our objective is to be Southern University (not University College) by 2020.

The other two 5-year Transformation Programmes are aimed at developing ourselves to be a world renowned University. The 25 years of vision of <The Southern in Self-Renewal, The University of Integrity” is the key programme for all the Southern University employees to strive to build a different kind of University. The diagram below shows it clearly:

(3) Two Dreams Chinese community has waited for two hundred years before it gets a University, through a lot of hardships. We must treasure this and open up a superb University education. How do we exert the life forces and influence of a University? Some critics have this view: A real University should be independent of the government, the political parties, specific ideologies and the fame and fortune and short-sightedness of the commercial sector. At the mean time, a real University must be concerned with its ethnicity development, the national progress, social equity and human destiny. With these four “independencies” and four “concerns”, the University will have its inner life forces and character. Of course, this kind of cultural ideal, thinking elevation and concern perspective must be the key indices of Southern University’s Great learning Way practice. It should motivate us in our incessant endeavour to build a different kind of University with mission and cultural-oriented, so as to serve the mass, the ethnic community and country!

In fact, there are many theories about University missions, educational concepts, planning and management as well as influence. These four independencies and concerns may be very important and having contemporary meanings, but it takes a generation or two for Universities to mould its life and character, or to exert its functions and influence.Much akin to the Chinese saying that it takes a hundred years to nurture people, so we cannot see much before the lapse of hundred years. But if the seeds are sowed correctly, the towering trees can be expected in time to come. Therefore, the author thinks that there are two dreams which are critical for the realization of the four independencies and concerns: The awareness of knowledge and the social freedom. If a University cannot create, interprete and disseminate knowledge; in other words, it cannot create the awareness of knowledge and its function and influence among the common folks, then it is not worth having any expectation in such a University. In order for knowledge to create its active function, the social system must be able to preserve freedom (and academic freedom and thought freedom are critical). Without a social system which advocatestrue freedom, it is difficult for the University, knowledge and education to have life forces and exert any active role and function. Therefore, the awareness of knowledge and social freedom are two wings, which can let Southern University fly high and create the desired influence. We should make our contributions in these two areas, i.e. create influential academic works, nurture thinking people, so that we can protect the freedom and equity of the social system. These two dreams are complimentary. Besides contributing to the normal education related to social employment, I stress that Southern University should not be absent in the above-mentioned two areas. For more elaborations to the two dreams, let’s wait till a later time.

世界高等教育的趋势与定位World Higher Education Trends and Positioning

际此世界形势日新月异,南方学院升格为大学学

院,不应只萦绕于大马华教的框框,或沉迷于

中华文化的千古睿智,而应扩大视野到世界的水平来

看大学的趋势与定位,使我们活在世界范畴的当下,

见其真章,以便能茁壮成长。

要了解世界高等教育的趋势与定位,我觉得可从

联合国教科文组织所召集的两次世界高等教育大会来

着手----1998年以及2009年。从这十年光景,我们

可以看到世界高等教育如何定位,有些什么走向。正

如2009年大会公报所言,过去十年,高等教育与研究

作出了消除贫穷、促进持续性发展的贡献。如今,历

史上从未出现过这样的现象:在建设一个包容性且多

元性的知识型社会,在推动研究与创新上高等教育显

得那么重要。

因此,本文意图将这十年中的高等教育动向加以

表彰出来,让我们的教育工作者了然于目。

由公共服务朝向公共事业

1998年宣言把高等教育视为一项公共服务,强调

公共提供资金与管理来促进高等教育达致教育使命。

2009年公报把高等教育形容为一项公共事业,是所有利

益相关方面特别是政府的责任。由公共服务朝向公共

事业,无疑的是一项功能性提高,事业的字眼意味着

高等教育与社会一体化,两者共荣共存。

由促进社会持续发展到面对未来人类挑战

1998年宣言说:高等教育的核心使命是促进社会

的持续发展和完善。2009年公报则说:高等教育应

引领人类创造知识,面对未来挑战。这趋势显示了全

球化所带来的问题---食品安全、环境污染、水利资

源、再生能源、跨文化对话等人类正面对严峻考验。

由入学机会平等到整个学习过程中的平等

1998年与2009年两份公报都强调要遵循《人权宣

言》26条第1款之要求,即高等教育入学机会不接受

任何以种族、性别、语言、宗教,或经济、文化、社

会地位,或身体伤残为由的歧视。

然而,2009年却强调:公平不仅仅是入学机会的

问题——必须是成功的入学和顺利的完成学业,同时确

保学生的福利得到公平的对待。包括对那些来自贫困

和边远地区的社会群体在经济上和教育上给予适当支

持。这一条显示了世界高等教育看问题超越表面,进

入本质。

由质量监控机制到质量文化

1998年宣言说:高等教育有义务增加由独立专

家进行的内部和外部评价,并且增强评价的透明度。

2009年公报说:质量保障不仅要求建立质量保障体

系和评价模式,而且要求促进机构内部质量文化的发

展。老实说,这项改进触及了质量改进的内涵。

由鼓励跨国界,遏止人才外流,到国际化教学

1998年宣言说:网络化应建立在分享与团结的基

础上,人才外流应制止,使发展中国家不丧失发展的

文 / 副校长侯亨能博士 by Dr Law Heng Neng (Vice President)

条件。2009年公报说:应鼓励跨境学术交流,师生对

换,国际化教学等活动,具体地推行国际化目标。这

一点说明了国际化是当今世界高等教育的一项重要内

容,需要具体地执行方才有效。

由培养发展社会文化到培育有道德的公民

1998年宣言要求:高等教育作为文化、社会和政

治发展的核心,应培养坚持正义、巩固人权、持续发

展、保证民主和平能力的支柱。确保和平环境和文化

的价值和理想。2009年公报则要求:高等教育不仅要

为当前和将来提供可靠的技能,而且也应对培育有道

德的公民作出贡献,应担负起构筑和平、捍卫人权及

民主价值观的责任。这一点进一步阐明了时代变迁对

高等教育的冲击。

由一般性学习到批判性学习

1998年宣言说:高等教育应通过各种活动中的伦

理、科学和智力方面的训练,保护和发展学生的批判

性功能。2009年公报说:高等教育质量标准必须反映

高等教育的总体目标,特别是学生的批判性与独立性

思维、终身学习能力的培养等目标。

关于现代教育里的道德教育、全面教育、独立思

考等等精神方面的教育项目,中华文化的儒释道无疑

是非常上乘的教育元素。问题是大马的高等教育制度

偏重西方理性教育、文凭教育、阶梯教育;所有课程

都需通过教育局的审批才能实行。因此,要全面推展

中华文化为高等教育的本科是相当困难的。

中华百经之首易经教导我们“易有三易:变易、简

易、不易”。让我们变易一下吧。把中华文化的精髓

塑造成大学学院的校园文化,管理文化,人文基调。

从而使学生们被培育为有道德、有文化、善于独立思

考、己所不欲勿施于人的良好公民。从企业社会责任

的观点来说,这不啻为做了一件蛮有意义的社会奉

献,不是吗?22

To my mind, amidst the ever changing world scenario, the upgrading of Southern College to Southern University College should not confine itself to the isolated quarter of Malaysian Chinese education, or the

century-old Chinese culture; instead it should extend its viewpoints to the trends and positioning of world higher educational institutions. Then we will the crux of the matter, and this augurs well for our future development.

In order to understand the trends and positioning of world higher education, I feel that it is appropriate for us to focus our attention on the two world conferences on higher education---1998 and 2009. Within time span of ten years, we can witness how the world of higher education positions itself and hence its impetus forward.

Just as the 2009 Communique said, for the past decade, higher education has contributed to the eradication of poverty and the advance of sustained development. At no time in history has it been more important to invest in higher education as a major force in building an inclusive and diverse knowledge society and to advance research, innovation and creativity.

Therefore, the intention of this write-up is to exhibit this impetus of the world higher education in the last decade, so that our educationists will have a clear mind concerning what can be done.

From Public Service to Public Good

The 1998 Declaration described higher education as a public service, emphasizing that capital and management expertise should be directed to higher education in order to enable its missions to be achieved.

The 2009 Communique described higher education as a public good and a strategic imperative, emphasizing that all stakeholders especially the governments should shoulder their respective responsibilities.

23

The elevation from public service to public good is undoubtedly an upgrading of the function of higher education. The term “public good” signifies the integration of higher education and society, one complimenting the other.

From Promoting Sustained Development to Facing Future Human Challenges

The 1998 Declaration states, higher education’s core mission is to bring about sustained development and improvement.

The 2009 Communique states, higher education leads the human race in creating knowledge and facing future challenges.

This trend indicates the severities the world now faces with the onslaught of globalization---food safety, environmental pollution, water sources, recycled resources, cross-boundary cultural dialogues, etc.

From Access Equity to Learning-Process Equity

Both the 1998 and 2009 documents stresses the UN Declaration of Human Rights Article 26.1, which states that higher education does not accept any discrimination in access to higher education with respect to race, gender, language, religion, economics or culture, social status or even physical handicaps. However, the 2009 Communique stresses the notion of equity is not just an issue of access equity----it should include equity in accessing and completing one’s study, as well as the welfare to the students, especially to those who are poor and from remote areas, their economic and educational needs should be supported. This shows that the world higher education conference has increased the depth of analysis from superficiality to essence.

From Quality Mechanism to Quality Culture The 1998 Declaration states, Internal self-evaluation and external review, conducted openly by independent specialists, if possible with international expertise, are vital for enhancing quality. Independent national bodies should be established and comparative standards of quality, recognized at the international level, should be defined. The 2009 Communique states, quality requires both establishing quality-assurance systems and patterns of evaluation as well as promoting a quality culture within institutions. Truly, this new thoughts have touched the underlying core of quality improvements.

From Encouraging Cross-National Boundaries and Stopping Brain-Drain to Internationalized Teaching and Learning

The 1998 Declaration states, Internet orientation should be based on sharing and unity, and brain-drains should be stopped, so that under-developed nations do not lose the conditions for developing.

24

The 2009 Communique states: there should be efforts to encourage cross-border academic interactions, lecturer and student exchanges, internationalized teaching and learning, etc. These are specific executions of the objective of internationalization.

This points to the fact that internalization is an utmost important component of today’s higher education and that it must be executed intensely.

From Developing Social Culture to Nurturing Ethical Citizens

The 1998 Declaration states, higher education should provide individual development and social mobility in order to educate for citizenship and for active participation in society, with a worldwide vision, for endogenous capacity-building, and for the consolidation of human rights,sustainable development, democracy and peace, in a context of justice.

The 2009 Communique states that higher education must not only give solid skills for the present and future world but must also contribute to the education of ethical citizens committed to the construction of peace, the defense of human rights and the values of democracy. This point further elucidates the impact of time on higher education.

From General Education to Critical Thinking

The 1998 Declaration states: higher education provides training in knowledge, science and ethics to develop the critical thinking functions of students.

The 2009 Communique gives critical thinking skills in an even more explicit exposure. Higher education’s quality standards must reflect the overall objective of higher education, especially in critical thinking and independent thinking, as well as lifelong learning skills.

Regarding the ethical education, holistic education and independent thinking elements of modern education, the contents of Chinese culture in terms of Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism can be viewed as a superb choice. The problem is that the Malaysian educational system is bent on the Western educational system, which is associated with accreditation and certification. All courses of study must be approved by the Ministry of Higher Education before they can be taught to students. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to integrate the essence of Chinese culture and philosophy into the academic programmes.

Let’s Change It

Probably we should adopt the teaching of “The Book of Change” which stipulated three aspects of change----1. Change it, 2. Simplify it, 3. Keep it unchanged. Let’s change it. Why don’t we mould the campus culture, management culture, and the environment ala the Chinese cultural thought process, in order to develop students into good citizens imbued with ethical and cultural values, who are good at independent thinking, adept at supporting others at the expense of self sacrifice. From the point of view of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR), isn’t it that, by doing thus, we have contributed significantly to nation-building?

南方自强 厚德载物

南方大学人文教育的蓝海策略:从三类课室开始——建立人文教育、加强通识课程,多语言与文化、跨领域知识、扭转大学重研究轻教学的偏向

一、“宽柔以教、南方之强”:以人文教育继承民族文化传统

南方大学学院,建构于宽柔学村完整坚固的基础上,这是东南亚华人教育的典范,柔佛华人办学的传奇。

但是这是一个理想的开始,不是目标的达成。接下来面临更大的挑战,任重道远。

南方大学学院如何使用蓝海策略1,超越目前的大学而创造自己独特的教育新传统?在重建大学教育与政

府对民主所需的公民教育及素养,在全球化的竞争下,焦点模糊,不知何去何从?

南方大学学院目前开始为自己定位转型,认为有加强与突出大学人文教育的人文精神的使命,为了深化人

文教育,重新定位大学通识课程,塑造多元文化、建构跨领域知识课程,肯定卓越教学型教授之贡献,试图扭

转大马与世界大学重研究、轻教学的偏向。即使研究,也定位为应用导向型研究。目前各大学在教育、科技、

产学合作上之连结断裂,造成教育困境与经济困境。由于南方大学学院建构在宽柔学村之基础上,具有完整坚

固的社群基础,可突破目前避免人才、科技、经济三个层面的连结断裂,所以“宽柔以教、南方之强”是南方

大学成功的关键。

现从“宽柔以教、南方之强”谈起。“南方之强”一词出自《中庸》。原文为:“子路问强。子曰:‘南

方之强与?北方之强与?抑而强与?宽柔以教,不报无道,南方之强也,君子居之。衽金革,死而不厌,北方

之强也,而强者居之。故君子和而不流,强哉矫!中立而不倚,强哉矫!国有道,不变塞焉,强哉矫!国无

道,至死不变,强哉矫!” 所以“宽柔以教,南方之强” 合在一起,意即用多元文化、宽容大度的精神来教

1《蓝海策略》(台北:天下文化,2005),原书名Blue Ocean Strategy(Harvard Business School Press, 2005),是由知名学者金伟灿 (W. Chan Kim)和勒妮.莫博涅(Renee Mauborgne)共同著作的一本经济学畅销书。此书可说是21世纪“新经济学”中新思维划时代意义之代表性书籍。

文 / 资深副校长王润华

Blue Ocean Strategy 与中文翻译《蓝海策略》

育、对待他人,即使别人蛮横无理也不要报复;平和而不随波逐流,中立而不有所偏倚;国家和平安定时不改

变志向,国家黑暗动荡时也能够坚持理想和操守,至死不变。这才是真正的强大!

柔佛的华人社团,首先从宽柔小学开始,逐渐发展出全马最大的中小学,最后在宽柔图书馆发展出专科班

与学院,由于政府害怕宽柔的教育文化与人才的版图扩大而成为一个“帝国”,最后被迫必须分开,校园与董

事会都必须不同。但是宽柔与南方的发展,始终没有距离,是两位一体从开始到今天。以今天南方的学生、教

职员、董事理事会成员与领导、一直到文化精神的层面,都是一家人,一脉相承。2

“宽柔以教、南方之强”放在今天无国界,全球化的语境中,南方之强就是今天所说的文化软实力(soft

power), 北方之强就是以武力强迫别人接受统治或观念。“宽柔以教、南方之强”,通过文化教育,提升群众

的文化的水平,培养对多元种族社会有贡献的人才,如果柔佛州,或是马来西亚,如果没有宽柔学村的存在,

我难于想像目前的华人公民美学文化是如何情景?

所以南方大学的成立,首先代表马来西亚华人建构华人民办教育,从小学到大学的典范,也象征东南亚、

甚至世界华人建构自己的文化精神家园的理想。将来的南方大学的方向,将给华人民办大学新定义:目前能洞

见的,包括走向以三种语文为教学媒介,多元文化的精神为教学基础,给东南亚甚至世界各地华人,一个多

语,多元文化的教育。这是华人文化与世界文化的对话。

从南方学村的形成到南方大学的成立,象征新马华人,甚至东南亚华人的想像的共同体,令人联想起美国

东岸的长春藤联盟的八所大学布朗大学、哥伦比亚大学、康乃尔大学、达特茅斯学院、哈佛大学、宾州大学、

普林斯顿大学、耶鲁大学,作为当年欧洲人越过大西洋,最早登陆北美州西岸所建立的大学。其共同教育特点

是,都是教会建立与支持的大学,规模小,强调校园文化,学生住校,浸濡在校园文化中,非常重视大学本科

的人文教育课程。其所谓人文教育课程(liberal arts curriculum),其实是指传统的人文艺术与科学(liberal

arts and sciences),因为这是发展人类心智与思考能力重要教育。人文教育这个传统,至今坚持不变,其最

大的教育目标, 就是继承与发扬欧洲的人文传统,抵抗科学与科技狭窄的视野。 3其实南方大学的背景,与长

春藤很相似,这是一百年来华人登陆马来西亚共同的文化期望,建立民族文化传统的根源。华社就是等于西

方的教会,南方大学校园的文化活动与社区的文化交流,就是长春藤的教会的社会文化精神。这些大学培养

完整人品与能力的大学本科教育,所以永远是美国得到最多资金赞助的大学,从布朗大学2.2亿到哈佛大学的

33亿。

二、人文教育VS就业能力

今年(2012)1月26日,新加坡的《联合早报》报导,新加坡南洋理工大学为吸引优秀生入学,新学年起

开办“博雅英才通识课程”,继新加坡国立大学和新加坡管理大学开办“博学课程”后,南洋理工大学也将在

今年新学年开办“博雅英才通识课程”,吸引最杰出的优秀生入学,栽培他们成为全方位的国家栋梁。这种博

雅英才通识课程(University Scholars Programme,简称USP)的学生除了专业,还能修读更多元化的课程。

南大教务长梅彦昌教授昨天在记者会上指出,全球大学极力争取全世界最优秀的学生申请入学,南大推出的这

项新课程,相信能吸引更多本地和其它国家的优秀生。他说:“USP毕业生的荣誉,将是南大赋予本科生最高

学术荣誉之一。”参加USP的学生,主修科目占75%,另25%是大学特别为USP学生设计的课程,包括写作、

道德、地球等五个必修科,另有社会科学、艺术、人文与文化、科学与工程等选修科。这些课程以约20人的小

班教学方式进行。4

新加坡南洋理工大学的校园原是南洋大学,一所综合性大学,而且以华人文化精神而打造的华语大学。

1980年与新加坡大学合并。1991年成立南洋理工学院,1991发展成南洋理工大学,只是培养实用工程师的大

学,完全没有人文的学科,当时政府认为这样的大学,可以快速的制造建设新加坡的实用工程师(practice-

oriented engineers),但是逐渐的发现这是错误的急功近利的教育方式。没有人文艺术修养的工程,没有幻

想力,没有跨学科的知识,哪有创意思考?所谓实用工程师不是今天世界,包括新加坡社会所想要的机器人工

程师。所以后来变成综合性大学,现在更要理工科技学生修读人文学艺术科的通识知识,培养博雅英才,要不

然一流的好学生,宁愿去外国留学。

大学不是职业训练所,而要培育完整的人,强调人文知识与文化修养,所以最后南洋理工大学转型为综合

大学。今年初南洋理工大学规划,为了吸引最杰出的优秀生入学,增加“博雅英才通识课程”,所有理工科技

的学生,必修读更多元化的课程。

21世纪的大学的教育,是消除以教师专长为主的课程设计概念,降低专业课程,增加通识教育课程。通

识教育可以激发学生的创意思考,培养博雅智,实作能力,这是学生的第二专长。以新加坡国立大学为例,以

120毕业学分为例,主修系56学分,只占46.67%,其它跨学门的学分共64,毕业学分数的53.4%。所以提升

通识课程,是大学新教育的新趋势。很多大学教育失败,因为它们都不是完整的教育。大学不是工具,而是

一种提升个人的文化素养与思考的能力。大学生兴趣未定,往往有机会四处探索,就发现自己的才华与兴趣。

Apple的总裁贾伯斯(Steve Jobs)回忆,当年如果他只修读计算机课程没有去旁听美术课, 就不可能设计出

那样精美的计算机。美学激发他的科技产品。5

马来西亚高等教育部直接规定所有大学课程必须设定核心课程(core,属于语言与数字科技的使用)9学

分,同时选读课程(人文、社会、艺术等领域)12学分,然后其它非专业的3学分,所以正在120毕业学

分内,必须修读非专业课程的,一共24个学分,才能毕业。这样每一位毕业生,无论理工还是法律医药,都

就有语文与人文的训练。只有这样的公民修养,才能建构职业能力,同时又有文化关怀的社会。

三、超越专业生命周期短暂的专业人才训练:南方大学的多元教育目标

当国际化的卓越的大学都迈向这个方向,努力建构没有围墙,全球化的国际性大学的时候,多数都是从广

大的角度来考察转型后的大学面对未来挑战,其中最受人注意的是哈佛校长德瑞克•伯克(Derek Bok)6 的新书

《大学教了没?》(Our Underachieving Colleges)7 ,他担任哈佛大学校长二十年(1971-1991),一生的热情

与奉献皆在教育,本书中他以大量的研究证据,检视大学生在众所公认的大学教育目标,到底进步了多少,并

阐述大学教授和领导人可以采取的具体革新,以培育学生不只习得知识,更具备面对未来人生的智慧。提出了

八个教育理念中重要目标:

1. 学习沟通 Learning to Communicate

2. 学习思考 Learning to Think

3. 塑造品格 Building Character

4. 培养公民责任感 Preparation for Citizenship

5. 迎接多元化的生活 Living with Diversity

6. 迎接全球化的社会 Preparing for a Global Society

7. 拓展兴趣 Acquiring Broader Interests

5 Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs : A Biography (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2011) 华特.艾萨克森作。廖月娟、姜雪影、谢凯翻译,《蒂贾伯斯传》(台北:天下文化,2011)。6 巴克为哈佛大学名誉退休校长暨研究教授,于1971-1991年担任哈佛大学校长达二十年,并于2006-2007年受命代理校 长,对哈佛大学及其它美国大学的大学部教学质量及教学方法知之甚深,著有多本重要高等教育专书的作者,包括与威廉.伯温(William Bowen)合著《河形》(The Shape of the River: Long-Term Consequences of considering Race in College and University Admissions,普林斯顿出版)以及《大学何价?高等教育商业化》(Universities in the Marketplace: The Commercialization of Higher Education,普林斯顿出版,中文版天下文化出版)。 7 Derek Bok ,Our Underachieving Colleges ( Princeton: Princeton University Press,2006) ;中译本,德瑞克.伯克著,张善楠译《大学教了没?》(台北:天下文化,2009)。

8. 就业准备 Preparing for a Career 8

德瑞克•伯克指出,今日的大学教授可以运用多媒体档案丰富教学方式,大学生可以用个人计算机找数

据、写作业,也可以经由网络缴交作业,虽然因为科技发达,使得学习效果看似多元化,但很多大学的教授个

人化的教学都窄化了大学教育的意义。他们大部分习于省力且缺乏效率的教学法,却忽略学生「对学科内容信

息的记忆消逝得很快,兴趣、价值观或是认知能力,会保留得较长久」的特点。9

 今天大学里学到的专业技术和使用的技巧,不再像二十世纪以前那样重要,因为其生命周期一下就过期。

沟通技巧、人际关系、分析问题、创意及整合知识的能力,反而越来越重要。所以在台湾,具有企业精神的私

立元智大学的校长彭宗平的教育理念也与德瑞克.伯克相似,主张多元的教育目标,以史丹佛大学前校长的理

念为目标:10

• 专业技能的生命周期日趋缩短;学生的思

考、分析与整合技术的能力比专业科目的能

力更持久。

• 学生对历史文化与社会发展的知识必须加

强。这些素养将有助于他们透过新的职场生

态与社会环境,找到自己的定位。

—— Donald Kennedy (史丹佛大学前校长)

从南方学院走向南方大学:沿着华校优秀的人文教育为本的道路,可望见一流的大学的大机构:华文中小

学与大学优秀的全人教育模式。在这里老师不是盲目的躲在实验室,追求研究卓越,窄化大学教育,而是在课

内课外形塑学生的品德,发展思辨能力,拓展兴趣、培养全球化多元化的生活能力。这些质量是我在南方大学

的学生的学习情况与行为品德上看见。11 这就是“宽柔以教”“南方之强”。

四、从南方学院走到南方大学:华校全人教育与人文科技整合大学的典范

面对国际化浪潮的来袭,我看见世界各大学,就如台湾拥有一百六十余所大学,除了追求数量,也开始追

求质量,但仍处处隐藏着许多隐忧危机,但同时也出现生机。比如校龄只有二十年的元智大学,因为是私立大

学,没有国立大学旧传统的包袱,很容易转过身前往国际化与双语化的方向走去,结果很快在2005年挤进全

台湾十二所顶尖大学,同时也是全台教学卓越的大学。12

作为私立大学,规模不大、历史不长的南方学院,客观的环境的限制,还为发展成为完整的大学,表面看

是弱势,其实在廿一世纪大学的大挑战中,在急需转型的二十一世纪,占有绝对的优势。因为那南方学院还在

为南方大学寻找方向与定位,没有包袱。老大学被许多历史与格局有所定型,不易改变自己。所以南方学院在

走向南方大学的路上,只要方向选择正确,大学教育之认知与定位正确,很容易打造成一流的大学。原因很清

楚,南方学院从草创时期,没有采用德瑞克.伯克所说纯西方大学或其它马来西亚大学以理工为模式的大学,

都是“窄化了大学教育的意义”,而认识到大学教育不只是专业训练,眼光、价值观、道德勇气、批判精神同

样重要。南方学院的师资与学生来源,开始主要来自华校独中,后来才逐渐扩大到各族群与国际学生。师资又

多数出身本土大学或亚洲的大学,才前往欧美大学读研究所,这种人文精神与文化为基础的教育老早存在。哈

佛大学前校长所说的完整性教育:“学习沟通、学习思考、塑造品格、培养公民责任感、迎接多元化的生活、

迎接全球化的社区、拓展兴趣等”,这是华语文小学与大学的优秀教育传统,也因为如此,马来西亚华人才那

样坚持建立私立大学,继续传递这种教育传统。台湾过去几十年,原来的教育理念逐渐被西方大学腐蚀,正如

《抢救大学:都是营销惹的祸》所说,美国大学以市场、实用与研究为主导。13比如元智大学在彭宗平校长领

导下,迅速调整数教育理念与目标,勇敢改变自己,不盲目追求SSCI的研究,发展多元教育目标:只有一项

是专业技能的“专业训练”,其它五项都是比专业能力持久学的分析能力,整合能力,伦理道德感,如“理想

思辨、追求真理、沟通领导、群己关系、思想陶冶”。14

南方大学既有华校的优秀的教育理念,强调培养对社会、人类有贡献的人为教育之道。台湾清华大学副校

长冯达旋不久前指出,他不赞成台湾近年以数字来衬托教育发展的方式,更直指台湾大学最严厉的挑战,不在

发表多少SCI文章,而是不断培养出对人类有影响的校友:“廿一世纪大学的挑战是什么?大学教育最重要的

不在拚排名,而在积极培养能对人类有贡献的人,才是一流的大学。”15

南方学院还没有成为正式被马来西亚政府承认的大学,已经具有一流大学的教育机制,师资,已开始培

养“对人类有贡献的人”。

五、创意无限的数位时代:语言文化结合科技专业的新典范

冯达旋曾指出台湾是非常有潜力的地方,二、三十年来经济发展快,且有很深的中华文化,如能将经济、

科技和中华文化三者结合一起,会产生很大效果。新加坡与马来西亚的华校生,过去南大、台湾留台毕业生,

已交出影响力巨大的成绩单,以后大陆留学生也一样会有如此的绩效。也因为如此,南方学院才能在困难的环

境中成长。冯达旋认为台湾大学生英文水平不高而感到有危机。他遗憾表示,假如台湾三、四十年前发展经济

时,能同时发展“双语岛”,今天的台湾就可以不把香港、新加坡放在眼里。16

南方学院目前师资与学生都有掌握极强的双语(华英或华马巫)能力,南方大学新设置的四个学院的本科

学位,毕业生必须通过三种语言(华英巫)的门槛规定,马来与印度及外国学生,都有修读与达到华语文程度

的规定。那么将来学生的语言文化的资源必成为亚洲最卓越宝贵的人才。

为了实现语言文化结合科技专业的新典范,突破目前避免人才、科技、经济三个层面的连结断裂困境,南

方大学除了继续原有的课程, 首先开设四个新的学院一个通识教育中心:

六、拥有三类不同的教室

这南方学院实际上拥有三种不同的课室,才能成功打造一所人文、科技、经济三个层面的连结典范大学:

1. 教授的教室

2. 校园文化的教室

3. 学术与社区文化交流教室

在传统的“教授的教室”,无论授课方法如何多元化,还是以教授为主导,学生失去主导性,他们只有

在“校园文化的教室”,在学生主导的校园活动,无论办校园才华多艺比赛, 还是音乐演奏晚会, 在他们自

己建立的舞台,更容易展露学生的才华,拓展兴趣,迎接全球化的社会。通过赞助厂商,学生也开始学习与企

业界连接。至于“学术与社区文化交流教室”,作为一所民办大学,社区领袖与社团进入校园办活动,如中

秋园游会,千人宴文化筹款,由学生与社会公益人士联合在校园主办此类活动,学生就能尝试生活在社会中,

与人沟通,学习思考、塑造品格、培养公民责任感。

有了这三类课室, 教育才会完整。

七、结论:人文、科技、经济三个层面的连结与华人办学的新典范, 民办大学的新定义

今天所有公私立大学将重新洗牌,在建构因应人文与科技结合的大学的竞争中,公私立大学将面临同样的

机会与挑战。各大学领导人不断勇敢的为高等教育重新认知与定位,前瞻性的为学术研究、为教育人才而将大

学转型。现代的学术严重割裂,尤其人文、科技各自发展,互不相涉,科技在人类社会中发展过速,人文学者

大半仍旧在钻研象牙塔中的学问,眼看人类浩劫不远,亟需有整合眼光及能力的人士,将此断裂现象弥合,让

科技、人文及社会学者能共同合力提出解决现今世人所面临困境的解决方案及思想上的指引。

除了自身的发展成长外,大学应该也要有社会责任又如公众事务的参与也是。强调社会责任。南方大学试

The Blue Ocean Strategy of Southern University’s Humanistic Education: The Building of Three Types of Classrooms---Establish Humanistic Education, Enhance General Education, Multi lingual and Multi cultural, Cross Knowledge Territory, Reversing the Tendency of Emphasizing Research and Belittling Teaching

(1) “Teaching with Forbearance and Gentleness, the South is Great”: Humanistic Education inheriting the Chinese Cultural Tradition

Southern University College was established on the solid foundation of Foon Yew School Village. This is the exemplary model in South East Asia, a legend in the educational efforts of Chinese in Johor. But this is the beginning of an ideal, not the accomplishment of the objectives. More acute challenges are forthcoming, the road ahead is lengthy and the responsibility is enormous.

How does Southern University College utilize the Blue Ocean Strategy to transcend the present Universities and create its own uniqueness in the educational tradition? As regards rebuilding tertiary education and the government’s reaction to what democracy wants in civil education and quality, and under the stiff competition of globalization, the focus is blur, all not knowing where to go?

Southern University College is currently beginning to position itself. It holds the vision of enhancing and stressing the humanistic spirit of a University anchored in humanistic education. In order to deepen the humanistic education, it repositions itself on General Education, on moulding multiculturalism, on establishing cross knowledge territory programmes, on affirming the contributions of excellent teaching and on trying to reverse the tendency of Malaysian and global Universities in emphasizing research and belittling teaching. In our mind, even if there are researches, they should be positioned as application-oriented researches. Presently many Universities are broken in the linkages between education, technology and production. And this has caused much educational dilemma and economical constraints. Due to the fact that Southern University College is built on the foundation of Foon Yew School Village, and with its complete and stable community base, it can avoid disconnects between three layers, i.e. talents, technology and economics. Therefore, “Teaching ala Leniency and Softness, The South is Great” is the key success factor of Southern University College.

Now we shall start from the noble words of “Teaching with Forbearance and Gentleness, the South is Great”. “The South is Great” originated from the Confucian classics of <Moderation>. The original text reads thus, ‘Zi Lu asked what the meaning of being strong was, Confucius said: “Are you asking the South is Great, or the North is Great, or your own understanding of being strong? Teaching with Forbearance and Gentleness, tolerating abuse and not resorting to revenge, this is the strength of the Southerners, and Junzi are residing there peacefully. As for clattering in armour, sleeping with swords and spears, this is the strength of the Northerners, and the strong people reside there. Therefore Junzi live amicably with people and are not

南方自强 厚德载物

swayed by the tides. This is being really strong!”

Therefore combining the two meanings of “Teaching with Forbearance and Gentleness, The South is Great”, it means multiculturalism, teaching and treating people with the spirit of tolerance, even when encountering people who abuse you rudely, do not take revenge; be calm and do not be swayed by tides, be neutral and not be biased; when the nation is at peaceful times, be persistent in your ambition, when the nation is in darkness and turbulence, be resolute in your ideals and behavior, and do not alter despite death. This is really strong! The Chinese community of Johor began from Foon Yew Primary School, gradually developed it to be the nation’s largest Primary and Secondary Schools, and finally developed the Advanced Studies and College out of Foon Yew Library. Due to the fact that the government was afraid that Foon Yew’s domain of education, culture and talents was becoming like an “Empire”, we were forced to split with different campuses and Board of Directors. However the development of Foon Yew and Southern was never split into two, in fact they were always one and all, from the very beginning to this day. To Southern students, staff, Directors and Governors and leaders, in terms of cultural mindset, we are all in a family, with the same strain of heriditary.

In today’s borderless world and globalized language domain, “Teaching with Forbearance and Gentleness, the South is Great” indicates that the South is Great means the Cultural Soft Power, the North is Great means physically forcing others to accept domination or concepts. “Teaching with Forbearance and Gentleness, the South is Great” upgrades the cultural status of the mass and nurtures the talents who contribute to the multiracial society through cultural education. If Foon Yew School Village does not exist in Johor or Malaysia, I cannot imagine what the present aesthetic culture of the Chinese citizens would look like. Therefore the formation of Southern University represents primarily the Malaysian Chinese effort in building the Chinese community-based educational model from Primary School to University, it also signifies South East Asian and even the global Chinese ideal of building their own cultural and spiritual home. The direction of Southern University in the future will render a new meaning to the Chinese community-based University: As for this, what can be seen now is: Trilingual media of teaching, the foundation of multicultural spirit and teaching, providing Chinese in South East Asia and even the world an education which is multilingual and multicultural. This represents the dialogue between Chinese culture and world culture.

From the formation of Foon Yew School Village to the founding of Southern University, it has become what we called “imagined community” of Chinese in Malaysia-Singapore and even Southeast Asia. This makes one think of the eight Universities of the Ivy League Universities----Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth University, Havard University, University of Pennsyvania, Princeton University and Yale University. These universities were built by the Europeans when they crossed the Atlantic and landed along the West coast of North America. Their common educational characteristics were: all were built by or supported by the churches, small-sized, emphasizing campus culture, students must live in hostels so as to be absorbed in the campus culture, and they stressed very much the liberal arts curriculum of the degree courses. What was meant by the liberal arts curriculum were the liberal arts and sciences, because this was an important education which developed the human mind and thinking ability. This tradition of liberal arts persists until today, its key educational purpose is to inherit and spread the humanistic tradition of the Europeans, and counter the narrow viewpoints of science and technology. In fact the background of Southern University is very similar to that of Ivy League Universities. It is the common cultural aspiration of Chinese people who landed in Malaysia one hundred years ago, i.e. to build the root of the ethnic cultural tradition. Chinese community is equivalent to the Western churches, the campus cultural activities and community cultural exchanges of Southern University is equivalent to the social and cultural spirit of the churches of Ivy League Universities. These

Universities’Degree education aimed at nurturing a holistic human quality and abilities. That is why, forever, they are the Universities which obtain the highest amount of funds in the U.S.A.----from Brown University’s $220 Million to Havard University’s $3.3 Billion.

(2) Humanistic Education vs Employability

On 26th Jan, 2012, Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao reported that in order to attract excellent post-graduates, Nanyang Technology University(NTU) will begin the “University Scholars Programme”. After National University Singapore(NUS) and Singapore Management University(SMU) began their Liberal Arts Courses, now NTU also plans to begin their “University Scholars Programme”, in order to attract the best students to be nurtured as the nation’s all-round pillars of the society. Besides teaching the specialization programmes, also enable the students to study more multicultural programmes. Prof. Mei Yanchang, Head of Academic Office, NTU, said in yesterday’s news conference, the global Universities are all trying hard to scramble for the best students to join them. With this new programme, NTU hopes to attract more excellent students from both local and abroad. He said, “The honour that USP graduates obtain is one of the highest academic hounour which NTU offers to Degree students”. For students joining USP, their core subjects constitute 75%, the other 25% are programmes specially designed by the University for the students, including: 5 compulsory programmes such as writing, ethics, earth, etc; and elective subjects such as science, art, humanity and culture, science and engineering, etc. These programmes will be run in small classes of approximately 20 students each.

The campus of NTU is originally that of Nanyang University, a comprehensive University, a University moulded by Chinese cultural spirit. In 1980, it merged with NUS. In 1991, it was developed into Nanyang Technology College which then developed into NTU. It was a campus University which only built practical engineers, without any humanistic programmes at all. At that time, the government thought that this kind of University can manufacture practice-oriented engineers very quickly. But they later found this wrong as it is an education style craving for quick success. Without the engineering of humanism, art and self-cultivation, without imagination and without cross territory knowledge, how can there be any creative thinking? The so-called practice-oriented engineers are not the kind of robotic engineers the world wants, or even Singapore would like to have. Therefore it is gradually changed into a comprehensive University, and now it wants the science and technology students to also study liberal arts of humanistic art programmes, in order to be developed into smart talents; otherwise the top-class students would rather go abroad to study.

A University is a not an employment training centre. It should nurture holistic human beings and emphasize humanistic knowledge and cultural self-cultivation. Therefore NTU finally is transformed into a comprehensive University. At the beginning of this year, for the purpose of attracting the best students, NTU added the <Smart Leaders Liberal Arts Programme> and all science and technology students must study more multicultural programmes.

The University education of the 21st century is targeted at abolishing the design concept of teachers’specialization, reducing the number of specialization programmes and increasing the liberal arts programmes. Liberal arts can motivate the students’creative thinking, nurture wisdom, build practical ability, and this is the second speciality of the students. Take NUS for example, in the total 120 graduating credits, 56 credits belong to the core subjects, constituting only 46.67% of the total. Other cross-territory programmes with credits of 64, constituting 53.4% of the total. Therefore increasing the liberal arts programme is the new trend of University education. Many University education fail because they are not holistic education. University should not be taken as a tool, it uplifts a person’s cultural self-cultivation and thinking ability. The interest of University students are not stagnant, they usually take the opportunities to explore and find their own talents and interests. The

CEO of Apples, Inc, Steve Jobs recalled that if he only studied computers but did not go to observe aesthetics back then, it would be impossible for him to design such marvelous computers later. Aesthetics stimulated his technological inventions.

Malaysia’s Ministry of Higher Education directly regulates all University programmes to set 9 credits for the core programmes(core, as used in linguistics and digital technology), 12 credits for electives (Humanity, social sciences, art, etc), and 3 credits for other non-specialization programmes. Therefore in the total 120 credits, in order to graduate, one must study a total of 24 credits of non-specialization programmes. In this way, every student irrespective of whether science and technology or legal or medical studies would have linguistic and humanistic training. Only with this kind of citizen cultivation would a society with employability and caring culture be built.

(3) Specialization talent training beyond the short specialization life cycle: Southern University’s multicultural educational objectives

When the globalized top-notch Universities are marching towards the direction of building globalized Universities without walls, most scholars are observing how the transformed Universities face the future challenges from a wide perspective. The most notable among them is Derek Bok’s new book titled <Our Underachieving Colleges>. He was the Principal of Havard University for twenty years(1971---1991). He devoted his life to education with enthusiasm and contributions. In the book, with a lot of research evidences, with respect to the University educational objectives which are publicly endorsed, he scanned the University students to find out how much they have improved. He also described what specific measures can the University professors and leaders adopt to nurture the students not only on knowledge, but also on how to face the futuristic human wisdom. He postulated eight key educational concepts with important objectives as below:

1. Learning to Communicate 2. Learning to Think 3. Building Character 4. Preparation for Citizenship 5. Living with Diversity 6. Preparing for a Global Society 7. Acquiring Broader Interests 8. Preparing for a Career

Derek Bok said, University lecturers today can use multimedia to enrich teaching, students can use personal computers to search for data, write assignments, even hand up assignments through the web; however, though the technological advancement has made teaching effects more diversified, many University lecturers’ personalized teaching has curtailed the meaning of University education. Most of them are used to the lesser effort but inefficient teaching methods but ignore the characteristics of the students that their memories of the material content and information subside very quickly, but their interest, value system and cognitive ability can retain for longer period of time.

The specialized techniques and application skills learnt in the Universities today are not as important as they used to be in the 20th century, because its life cycle becomes out of date in a short span of time. On the contrary, communication skills, human interactions, problem analysis, creativity and knowledge integrating ability become more and more important. Therefore in Taiwan, the principal of Yuan Zi University, Peng Zong

35

Ping, who is rich in business spirit, has the same educational concept as Derek Bok. He advocates diversity in educational objectives, and he embraces the concept of the former principal of Stanford University as the objectives:

From Southern College to Southern University: Along the path of excellent humanistic-based education of Chinese education circle, we can see the big picture of excellent Universities: Excellent holistic educational model of Chinese Primary and Secondary Schools and the University. Here the teachers do not hide in the laboratories and be blindfolded, pursuing excellent researches and narrowing University education, but they mould the students’characters, develop their thinking ability, widen their interests and nurture their living skills in the context of globalization and diversification, both in the class and outside the class. I see this kind of quality in the Southern University students’studying and daily behavior. This is the manifestation of “Teaching ala Leniency and Softness”and “The South is Great”.

(4) From Southern College to Southern University: The exemplary model of the integration of Chinese wholistic education with humanity and technology

Facing with the onslaught of globalization, I see that all the world universities, just like the one hundred and sixty odd universities in Taiwan, are beginning to pursue quality besides quantity. Threats are hidden at many places, but opportunities also emerge. Take for example Yuan Zi University which is only twenty years old. Because it is a private University, there are no old traditional burden of the like of public Universities, it turns to the direction of globalization and dual language policy very readily. As a result, it becomes the top-12 Universities of Taiwan in 2005 and becomes a University with excellent teaching.

Southern University, as a private University, not large scale, has no long history. Despite the unfavorable objective conditions, it can even develop into a University. On the surface it looks like a weak case. But in the 21st century in which Universities are facing great challenges and quick transformation is strongly needed, Southern University harbours the absolute advantage in the light of this. Southern College is searching for the direction and positioning of Southern University. Old Universities are constrained by history and the paradigm, it is not easy to change itself. Therefore on the trek from Southern College to Southern University, as long as the direction chosen is correct, the cognition of University education and positioning is correct, it can develop into a top-class University much easily. The reasons are clear cut. From the beginning of Southern College, it did not utilize the University model of the West or Malaysia University which “curtailed the meaning of University education”as criticized by Derek Bok. On the contrary, Southern College understood that the University education is not only in specialized training, but the visioning, the value system, the ethical bravery and the critical spirit are equally important. The source of Southern College’s teaching staff and students are

• The cycle time of specialized skills is becoming shorter and shorter; the thinking ability, analytical ability and technological integrating ability can be retained for longer period of time than the specialized programmes• The students’ knowledge of historical culture and social development must be enhanced. These factors will help them find their own positioning through employment experiences and social environmental changes

mostly from the Chinese Independent Secondary Schools, but gradually expanded to schools of other ethnicity and international students. The teaching staff mostly came from local Universities or Asian Universities, and they went to Europe and U.S.A. for post-graduate studies. This kind of humanistic spirit and cultural foundation in education is in existence for a long time. Havard University former Principal said the holistic education encompasses: “Learning communication, learning thinking, moulding character, nurturing citizen responsibility, encountering diversified living, living in a globalization society and expanding the interests”. These are the much complimented educational tradition of Chinese Primary, Secondary and University education. It is due to this that the Malaysian Chinese are so hard up on building the private Universities so that they can pass on this educational tradition. For the past several decades in Taiwan, the original educational concepts were gradually eroded by the Western Universities, just as described by the book titled <Saving the Universities: All caused by Marketing>: US Universities are taking the markets, application and research as the driving force. For example, Yuan Zi University, under the leadership of Principal Mr Peng Zong Ping, quickly adjusted its educational concept and objectives, made changes to itself bravely, refused to follow blindly the research of SSCI and developed diversified educational objectives. Only one specialized skill is considered “specialized training”, all other 5 programmes have memory retention longer than the Specialized training, such as: analytical ability, integrating ability, ethical and emotional quotient such as: thinking power, pursuance of the truth, communication leadership, group relationship and appreciation thinking.

Southern University possesses its excellent educational concept of Chinese Schools. It emphasizes nurturing people who make contribution to the society and humankind. Taiwan’s Qing Hua University Vice President Feng Da Xuan said recently, he disagrees with the phenomenon that Taiwan is projecting educational development with figures. He criticized directly that the most critical challenge faced by Taiwan is not the number of SCI research papers published, but how many alumni who are influential to mankind that have been created: “What is the 21st challenge of a University? The most important thing of the University education is not in the ranking order, but in the nurturing of people who can make contributions to mankind. Then it is a top-class University.”

Southern College is not yet officially recognized by the Malaysian government as a University, but it already possesses the educational mechanism and lecturers of a top-class University and it is embarking on the nurturing of people who can contribute to mankind.

(5) Digital era of unlimited creativity: New paradigme model of the connecting language and culture with technology

Feng Da Xuan pointed out that Taiwan is a place of high potential. Its economics developed tremendously over the past twenty to thirty years. And it possesses rich Chinese culture. If we can combine the three elements together: Economics, technology and Chinese culture, then enormous effects can engender. Singapore and Malaysian Chinese school students, Nanyang University students of the past, and students who studied in Taiwan have all generated great influence. In future, students who study in Mainland China will carry the same effect. It is precisely due to this that Southern College could survive in the difficult conditions. Feng Da Xuan thought that the low English standards of Taiwanese students pose a threat. He regretted that if over the past thirty to forty years in which Taiwan was in her economic development phase and she did simultaneously develop herself as a “dual language island”, then Taiwan would not need to listen to Hong Kong and Singapore at this moment.

Southern College’s lecturers and students possess strong dual language ability (Chinese and English or Chinese, Bahasa and English). The four new Schools of Degree programmes recently set up in Southern

升格列车

University require that the graduates must pass three languages (Chinese, English, Bahasa)before they are allowed to graduate. And Malay or Indian or foreign students must study and pass the basic Chinese standard before they can graduate too. In this way, in the future, the students’ language and cultural resources will definitely make them Asia’s most treasured talents.

In order to realize the integration of linguistics and culture with technology and specialization and create an exemplary model of it, so as to avoid the broken linkage between talents, technology and economics, Southern University takes the initiative to set up four new Schools and one General Education Centre.

1. School of Business & Management: Finance & Investment Bachelor Degree(Honours), Accounting Bachelor Degree(Honours), Sales & Marketing Bachelor Degree( Honours), Tourism & Hospitality Bachelor Degree(Honours) 2. School of Humanity and Social Sciences: Chinese Studies Bachelor Degree(Honours), English Studies Bachelor Degree (Teaching English as Secondary Language)(Honours), Malay Studies Bachelor (Honours), Mass Broadcasting Bachelor Degree(Honours) 3. School of Engineering and Information Technology: Electronic Engineering Bachelor Degree(Honours) 4. General Education Centre: Establish humanistic, art and thinking programmes, coordinate cross- territory electives

In the four specialization schools and eleven programmes, we have General Education Centre which is responsible for setting up the normal humanistic and art programmes and coordinate in cross-territory electives. In the total 120 credits system, 33 credits are compulsory General Education programmes. In this way we can nurture holistic talents, technological and business-oriented graduates, whether they be from Business & Management, Accounting, Investment or Finance, they will all possess humanistic, art and ethical value thinking, humanistic and social specialization i.e. art and design, language and with master craftsman plan, specialization practical training and community service, we will be able to build an exemplary University integrating the three layers of talents, technology and economics.

(6) Three types of classrooms

Southern College actually has three categories of different classrooms before it can develop into an exemplary University integrating the three layers of talents, technology and economics:

1. The lecturer’s classroom 2. Campus culture classroom 3. Academic and community culture exchange classroom

In the traditional “lecturer’s classroom”, no matter how diversified the teaching can be, it is still lecturer-oriented and the students lose their autonomy. They can only go to the “campus culture classroom” to have a say in the campus activities, be them talent competitions, musical performance or more. Here they can build their own stage of performance and display their talents, to explore their interests and to embrace the globalized society. Through sponsorers, the students may start to learn how to connect with the corporate world. As for “academic and community exchange classroom”, Southern University is a community-based University, so the community leaders and organizations are free to enter the campus to organize activities, such as Mid-Autumm Festival, Thousand People Dinner Cultural Donation, etc. As the students and social members jointly organize these activities, the students will learn to live in the society, to communicate with people, to think, and to mould

37

38

南方自强 厚德载物

the character and nurture citizen responsibility.

With these three categories of classrooms, education will become holistic.

(7) The new paradigme of education: connecting humanity, technology and economics. A new definition of community-based University.

Today, all public or private Universities have to reshuffle the cards, in the competition of building Universities which integrate humanity and technology, both of them will face the same opportunities and challenges. All leaders of Universities are boldly trying to reunderstand and reposition themselves in higher education, to undertake forward-looking researches, to transform the Universities in the direction of nurturing talents. The academic sector today is acutely disconnected, especially in humanity and technology, each goes its own way, not taking heed of each other. Amidst the rapid advance of technology in the human society, most of the humanity scholars are still in their ivory tower dipping their heads into their research. Witnessing this impending human calamity , we need to have people with the proper viewpoints and ability to patch up the disconnects. We hope that the technological, humanistic and social scholars will get together to solve the dilemma faced by the people today and provide some guidelines.

Besides its own development, Universities should also take part in public affairs and carry out their social responsibilities. Southern University is attempting to reverse the Malaysian as well the world’s tendency of emphasizing research and belittling teaching. In our mind, researches should be positioned as application-oriented researches. Presently the Universities are disconnected in the spheres of education, technology and production and this has caused much dilemma in education as well as economics. Due to the fact that Southern University is built on the foundation of Foon Yew School Village, with this complete and firm community foundation, it can break through the disconnects. Therefore “Teaching ala Leniency and Softness, the South is Great” is the key sucess factor of Southern University.

Chinese residing in all nooks of corners of the world hope for the setting up of a University resembling the cultural and spiritual home of Chinese, so that Chinese civilization, spirit and value system can be spread among the various ethnic groups and flourish. Due to the unique historical background of Southern University, besides its taking care of the normal educational objectives, it has to also shoulder the mission of Chinese setting up a community-based University. Malaysia has the largest number of complete Chinese Primary and Secondary Schools outside China. Hence, the setting up of Southern University becomes the highest index of Chinese and Chinnese education. It will redefine the model of Chinese community-based Universities outside China, plus their needs and meaning.

专访署理董事长拿督陈联顺

《南方大学教育基金》

侯亨能(后略为侯):这个南方大学教育基金以三千万元为指标是个大数目,请您讲讲它的社会意义以及缘起。拿督陈联顺(后略为陈):我们办学院,一路走来,

已经二十二年。现在顺利地升格为大学,来到了一个

新的更大的挑战。办一所大学需要有经济基础,过去

我们只是办一所学院,一所学院所需的经费和一所大

学肯定的是很大的距离。我们要提升师资的薪金制,

便能聘任高水平的师资人才;我们的教学器材必须翻

新;我们还要建设一所不同于一般的大学。这些都需

要资金才行。因此,我们提出三千万的南方大学教育

基金。

侯:建设一所大学才需要三千万元吗?陈:当然不,建设一所大学需要的经费比此多得多。

这三千元只是第一个阶段的目标。

侯:这三千万元的具体项目有哪些?陈:一千五百万元将用来建立一栋十层的国际教育

大楼,以便应付高教部规定我们要增加外国学生至

20%。我们的宿舍目前已经不敷应用。这国际教育大

楼今年尾将动工,希望2013建竣启用。另一千万元将

用来提升师资的薪金与福利。新聘的老师将以新的薪

金制雇用。现有的老师的薪金和福利也将做出适当的

调整与提升。再五百万元将用在硬体与软体购置上。

侯:既然这三千万元是第一个阶段的基金,请问接下来还有什么阶段?陈:高教部规定我们要在五年内完成大学学院的阶

段,过渡到正式大学去,到时我们将设立硕士与博士

的学位,学生人数将跃升至五千人以上,国际生至少

有20%。这个阶段肯定需要更大的经济支助,到时我

们将会推出南方大学教育基金第二阶段,现在可预知

的项目是要建立一栋行政大楼,其他的项目只能待后

才知晓,现在谈不上。

侯:我知道美国大学的基金数额是很大的,在银行里积累生息,越长越大,可以拿来支付建设需要,也可用来支付日常运作开销。对此,南方大学学院有什么看法?陈:是的,基金数额要大才能积累利息,越长越大。

所以我们要走的路,就是去找大企业家作名誉顾问,

乐捐义款为教育基金。我们也期望南方大学学院的学

生人数会不断增加,超过2,000人时,我们的收支就会

平衡,就不用从基金抽出钱来补助开销,那么我们就

可以不动用教育基金而让它积累生息越长越大。

侯:你说到收支不平衡,何时能够平衡?陈:其实现在可说已经平衡了,我们的学生人数是

1,600,从学费得来的收入已经足够应付开销,但是由

升格列车

39

于我们秉持着我们办学的其中一个宗旨:扶住贫苦子

弟,我们发出很多奖学金去帮助那些经济拮据,需要

帮助的家庭和学子,所以我们的收支不平衡了。换句

话说,我们是非营利大学,我们将盈利拿来服务于社

会,这是我们的一种企业社会服务的表现。

侯:一所不赚钱的大学还要用钱去帮助贫苦子弟,这不是一般大学所愿为啊!陈:是的。商业性的大学哪里会把盈利拿去做一些不

赚钱的活动?例如:我们鼓励华乐,艺术,中秋园

游会;我们组织华人族群文化中心,马华文学馆等活

动,别人想也不会想到,但我们却做得很快乐;因为

我们知道我们在培育学生成为有文化,有道德,有修

养的人。不少学生去丹斯里郭鹤尧追思会当招待,去

三善宫售卖大学金砖。我们认识到这些学生去参与社

会活动,他们学到了超过知识以外的学问,他们学到

了社会互助互利的文化,这使他们对金钱更加珍惜。

侯:请讲讲南方大学学院的愿景是什么?陈:我们要办一所有别于人的大学,不辜负华社对我

们的愿望,我们要传承中华文化的传统,使南方大学

学院成为全球华人都会翘起拇指来称赞的大学。

侯:大家都知道,我国的大专教育课程都要经过高教部的批准才能教导。我们要怎样才能促成一所不同于人的大学呢?陈:是的,从课程的视角来看,大家都会大同小异。

但是,我参与华教几十年,我知道南方大学学院是

可以做得有别于人的。你看,我们举行中秋园游会

《离开地球表面系列2》引来六七千人,这不是有别

于人吗?我们办华人族群文化中心,我们进行地方史

研究工作,这不是有别于人吗?我们中医系已经发展

到不只是一所中医系,还有门诊部,专科部,又有研

究部,正在进行肿瘤研究;现在我们正在推行着体

疗、复建、妇科中心。这些都是回馈给社会的行动。

这就是有别于人的地方。我们相信,我们要教导的不

是知识而已,也包括文化、艺术、人文意识。我们要

我们的学生成为社会俊才,善于服务于社会,懂得饮

水思源,滴水之恩涌泉相报的那种人。

侯 : 南 院 过 去 曾 经 办 过 类 似 “ 薪 传 万 里行”,“鹰之旅”的大型全国性筹募运动,请问我们还会进行此类计划吗?陈:会的。这是我们下一步的行动。我们的计划是以

多元形式来筹募基金。在高教部长于11月10日莅临南

方大学学院颁发升格大学学院证书之后,我们就要向

全国七千多个团体发出公函,吁请他们乐捐基金。乐

捐伍佰元者当赞助人,一千元者当名誉赞助人,一万

元以上者名字列在南方大学教育基金名表里,名留史

册。

从这短短的一个访谈,我们可以得到一个印象:我国民间的确存在着很出色的企业家,他们不问私利,肯于自动自发地付出精力为社会谋福利,不厌其烦地为难题寻求解决方案。社会上不乏有人这样问:到底这些人这么积极是何利可图?你只要看一看拿督陈联顺的言行举止就能得到答案了。

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY

EDUCATION FUND

---An Interview with Datuk Tan Liang Soon, Deputy Chairman of Board of Directors

升格列车

41Dr Law: This Southern University Education Fund of RM30 Million is a big amount, please explain its significance and its origin.Datuk Tan: We’ve been building Southern College up for 22 years and now we’ve successfully been upgraded to University College and thus we are facing a new and greater challenge. There must be economic foundation to build a University. In the past we only built a college, the funds needed for a University are definitely much more than that for a college. We want to upgrade the salary of the lecturers. New teaching staff members will be based on a new salary scale, while existing teaching staff remunerations should be uplifted somewhat. We have to upgrade the teaching equipment. And we want to create a University different from others. All this needs capital. Therefore we propose the Southern Education Fund of RM30 Million.

Dr Law: You mean it only needs RM30 Million to build a University?Datuk Tan: Of course not. It needs much more to build a University. The RM30 Million is only the first phase.

Dr Law: What are the specific items for this RM30 Million fund?Datuk Tan: The RM15 Million is to build a 10-storey high International Education Building. It is to meet the requirement of the Ministry of Higher Education that we must have 20% international students. Our dormitories are without vacancies at the moment. This new International Education Building will commence construction by the end of this year and we hope to start operation next year. The other RM15 Million will be used to upgrade the remuneration and welfare of the teaching staff and install new teaching equipment.

Dr Law: Since RM30 Million is for the first phase, how do the following phases look like?Datuk Tan: The Ministry of Higher Education requires us to transit to a full-fledged University in 5 years time as a University College. At that time we should have Masters and PhD Degrees, the number of students should shoot up to five thousand or more and the proportion of international students to 20%. It is obvious that we will need more funds at that stage. And we will then propose the second phase of funding. What we now know of what we want to do then is to build an Administration Building, the rest is yet unknown.

Dr Law: I know the US Universities have huge funds that are kept in banks to grow by interest. They can be used to finance expansions and even daily operations. What does Southern University College think about this?Datuk Tan: Yes, the fund must be large in order to grow by interest. Hence what we plan to do is to seek businessmen to donate funds. We also hope that the student numbers will grow to exceed 2,000. Then our account will be balanced. We don’t need to withdraw money from the fund to finance expenses. This means

42

that our funds will remain intact and grow on interest.

Dr Law: You said the account is imbalanced, when will it be balanced?Datuk Tan: In fact it is already balanced now. Our student number is 1,600 and the tuition fees we collect are enough to cover expenses. However, due to the fact that we want to uphold one objective which we cherish: to help the poor students, we will grant many scholarships to support students and families in poverty, hence we run in deficit. In other words, we are a non-profit-organization, so we put the profits into community service. This is one form of our Corporate Social Responsibility.

Dr Law: A University not making money and yet go all out to help poor students, definitely not something that others dare to think about!Datuk Tan: Yes, Which commercialized University would take the profits to do things which bring no gain? For example: we encourage Chinese music, art, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese Ethnic Cultural Centre, Mahua Literature, etc, while others frown on them, we are happy to support them. This is because we want to nurture students so that they will be encultured and ethical. You see, many students went to Tan Sri Kuek’s funeral to work as receptionists, some went to San Shan Gong to sell gold bricks. We know that these students learn more than book knowledge, they learn the community culture of mutual help. This will make them treasure the little money they have even more.

Dr Law: what is your vision of Southern University College?Datuk Tan: We want to build a University which is different from others. We don’t want to disappoint the Chinese community which has been helping us all along. We want to inherit the Chinese traditional culture and make Southern University College a University which the Chinese people the world over will commend highly.

Dr Law: All know that the Malaysian Higher Education programmes must be approved by the Ministry of Higher Education before one can run them. How can we be different from others?Datuk Tan: Yes, that’s what it is if we look at the perspective of programmes: all are roughly the same! However, in my years of service in the education sector, I see that Southern University College can be different from others. We have just organized the Mid-Autumn Festival with thousands of people thronging the place, isn’t this different from others? We have organized Chinese ethnic cultural center and carried out local history research, isn’t this different from others? The way we manage the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine has made it into more than a School of TCM. We have a dispensary, a special treatment centre, a research centre, a recovery centre, a female medical centre, etc. These are all for the benefits of the community, and this is where we are different from others. We believe that what we want to teach is more than just book knowledge, it also includes culture, art, the humanities, etc. We want our students to become the community leaders, imbued with the mentality of community service, in remembrance of debts due.

Dr Law: Southern College has organized large-scale donation campaigns such as “Ten Thousand Miles”, “Eagles Journey”, do we plan to carry out similar campaigns?Datuk Tan: Yes we will. That’s our next step. We plan to carry out multi-faceted ways for donation drives. Immediately after the Minister of Higher Education visit here on 10th Nov, we will send out donation letters to more than 7,000 organizations nationwide to collect donations. Those who donate RM500 will be named as Sponsors. RM1,000 as Honorary Sponsors. RM10,000 will have their names inscribed on the list of Southern University Education Fund Donators. We hope that this will become a historic record. From the short interview, we can obtain one impression: there are indeed outstanding businessmen in the society who are selflessly committing their hearts and mind for the community good and striving to find solutions to acute problems out there. There are certain quarters who may have these queries in them: Why are these people so persistent, what is there in it for them? I would say this: You only need to see Datuk Tan’s words and deeds to get the answer.

4月22日,马来西亚华校董事联合会总会以主席叶

新田博士为首一行30人莅临交流,受到以董事长

拿督张文强、院长祝家华博士为首的一干领导层热烈

的欢迎,共聚一堂商讨华教高等教育未来发展。董总

主席叶新田博士于交流会上表示,董总将带头召集我

国3所民办大专院校来一场正式交流,共同为华教大

专教育未来作出宏观的探讨,设定其往后发展格局。

成立“华教大专发展工委会”

叶新田博士表示,董总将带头向南院、新院和韩

江学院发出正式邀请,让3院领导者共同商讨协调日

后华教高等教育的发展路线,特别是升格大学以后所

面对之问题。此外还要探讨在国内外招生,以解决学

生不足之问题,并使本土高等教育国际化,还有资金

资源整合之问题。他说,目前许多国际大专院校纷纷

来马开设分校,即便是中国厦门大学亦有意来马。面

对这些外来的竞争,本土华教高等学府应当有一套周

详的应对方式。除了展开交流会之外,董总也计划由

3院代表成立“华教大专发展工委会”,共同带领大

专学府继续发展。

另一方面,院长祝家华博士致词时表示,本土华

文高教在1955年南洋大学成立以后就停滞不前。相

比之下,国立私立大专至今数量有增无减,还有无数

国外大学分校,然而华文高教的发展却远远落后。他

进一步表示,在这问题上,董总也许该反思这其中落

差的起因。他也说,南院升格大学学院的申请已进入

第二阶段,只要拿到高教部发出的批准信以后就能

注册。他认为,即使3院皆获得升格大学的准则,在

面对内忧外患之情况之下,如何重整华社对华教的

信心,3院仍需要摸索前进。他更指出,在这情形之

下,我国没有一所华文高等学府可供参考,因此只能

借鉴南大、港大以及台大的发展模式。

华教大专教育停滞

董事长拿督张文强更指出,新山华社热心教育,

尽管各自的政治理念也许不尽相同,但都不会牵扯于

教育之中,这就是新山“最美“之处。其他出席者有

南院署理董事长拿督陈联顺、副董事长黄明羽、财政

彭桂隆、副院长侯亨能博士、董总署理主席邹寿汉、

副主席许海明等人。

董总拟召集三院交流商讨华教大专未来发展

董总主席叶新田博士(第一排中)率领董总成员到访,与南院领导大合照,为是次交流留下美好回忆。

师、医疗中心主任韦馨均医师和办公室主任罗荣强先

生一行五人莅临参访南方学院参观丹斯里拿督张愈昌

暨潘斯里拿汀程赛菊中医大楼。他们的莅临受到了本

院署理董事长拿督陈联顺及院长祝家华博士为首的管

理层的欢迎与接待。

欢迎会是以播放“点亮大学之道”短片作为开

场,让来宾们了解南院的心路历程。张瑞发董事在致

词时表示,南院深感荣幸及热烈欢迎新加坡中医学院

的五位来宾的莅临。在2010年初,他和黄明羽副董事

长,林文贤董事以及刘宛娘副主任二度拜访新加坡中

医学院取经,获得董事会主席黄种钦教授为首的管理

层的热诚款待,并为南院中医系和中医大楼能顺利开

办,特此向新加坡中医学院致以万二分的谢意。他表

示,南院秉持着与其他私立院校不同的办学使命,那

就是:教学,研究与服务社会。他也认为新加坡中医

学院和南院十分相像,都是华社创建起来的学院,并

以“明知路途有艰险,越是艰险越向前”作为南院的

最佳写照。南院现在也积极开拓“南院草药园”,作

为教学用途之余,也让更多人认识本地草药。他希望

新加坡中医学院能够多方协助刚起步的南院,热心给

新加坡中医学院莅访文 / 李佳维

新加坡中医学院董事会主席黄种钦教授深表谢意

有幸拜会南院并获得丰厚的欢迎。他在致词中也提及

透过南院简介了解到南院的发展过程与新加坡中医学

院的创办极为相似,同属民办。该院于1953年成立

(前名为中医专门学校并于1976年易名为新加坡中医

学院),创办之初也极为不易,须面对诸多的困难与

挑战。所幸的是先辈们的坚持与努力,以致有今日的

成就。除此之外,新加坡中医学院在法定注册后,在

有关当局的批准下,通过组织相关的教育培训和医疗

活动以促进中医药事业的发扬光大,进而在中国、台

湾、香港之外获得出乎意料的成就而感到自豪。而他

本人也表露对于南院的发展设施感到惊叹,也希望南

院能顺利发展,早日达成理想。

此次的莅访进行了更为深入的交流,进而扩大了

彼此间的合作关系,以盼日后能够达致合作协议以增

强新马两地在中医药界里的发展。最后,交流会以交

45 南方学院于5月13日举行第21届毕业典礼,高教

部副部长拿督何国忠博士受邀出席时语带玄

机,为南院升格带来佳讯!同时也是母亲节的此天,

共有约320位毕业生齐唱骊歌,谢师恩亦谢母恩,在

声声祝福之下迈向人生新旅程。

高教部副部长拿督何国忠博士在毕业典礼上,语

带玄机暗示南院将在不久后接获好消息。他受邀致词

时说了一段耐人寻味的话。“今年是我最后一次前来

参加南院毕业典礼;如果明年有机会再来,应该是参

加‘南方大学’毕业典礼。”言下之意,似乎暗示南

院将能顺利在今年升格为大学学院。

他表示,高教部年初发出升格大学邀请函予南方

学院,而估计南院能在很短的时间内改善高教部对该

院做出的要求。“我知道校方一直很努力,请静待好

消息。”

何国忠博士:不赞同废除高教基金

此外,何国忠博士强调不赞同废除高等教育基金

(PTPTN)的建议,并表示学生“借钱还钱”是天公

地道的事情,也体现华社饮水思源的传统价值观。

他透露,政府自1998年提供高等教育基金至今,

共有190万名学子受惠,承担总值430亿令吉款项,其

中华裔学生获得100亿令吉的贷款。如果废除这项制

度,许多私立大专学生将因为经济问题而无法升学。

另一方面,大会贵宾周令飞在致词时预先祝贺南

院升格成为东南亚首间民办中文大学。周令飞欲以其

祖父生前一则小故事与拿督何国忠博士分享,唯后者

第21届毕业典礼 何国忠漏口风捎来升格喜讯

有事已离开。他说,“南院既然认认真真的做,你(何

国忠)就要认认真真的给(升格大学)。”

代表中国同济大学首次到访我国的周令飞在会上

朗诵鲁迅《自嘲》的名句,作为献给南院的贺礼。

与此同时,南院董事长拿督张文强也表示,本院

预计明年将会开办11项本身的学士课程。他说,南

院在过去数年积极转型革新,如今即将升格为大学学

院。接下来的日子,南院将继续积极发展,其中一项

重要的工作就是开办本身的学士学位课程。他指出,

今年的毕业典礼迎来首批威尔士大学学士学位毕业

生,更希望往后能有本身的学士学位毕业生。

祝家华博士:教育非商品,应当认真办教育

理事长黄循积说,南院决定将11个科系列为学士

课程,于2013年开课,其他则保留原来的专科,双

联课程维持不变。2014年则将逐年提升两三科为学

士课程。“南院在准备提升科系为学士同时,也将在

2016年设立硕士课程,为达到完整大学做好准备。”

何国忠颁发“校长全人教育奖”予新闻与传播系的吕莉婷同学。

文 / 萧婷忆

院长祝家华博士献词时表示,今日教育最大的危

机是教育的商品化,大学教育的产业化。我国许多私

立学府是上市挂牌公司,学生即是客户又是产品,这

样的大专教育机构操作已经危害教育本身的理想与德

性。“日益严重的商品化大学教育,往往只看到商家

客户的关系,缺乏师生伦理,这是现在大学教育的

危机所在。”此外,他认为,真正的大学应独立于政

府、党派、特定意识形态及商业社会的功利与短视。

同时,又以关怀自身民族、国家进步、社会正义及人

类命运为己任。

依循古礼,薪火相传谢师礼

有别于往年的毕业典礼,今年校方加入薪火相传

与谢师礼,让典礼更具中华色彩,意义非凡。今年南

院毕业生依循古礼,赠送谢师礼。首礼为桃李,代表

师长们循循善诱、诲人不倦,桃李满天下;次礼为锦

囊,意喻师长们竭尽心力,倾囊相授;三礼为中国

结,代表毕业生对师长们的祝福;四礼为淮山,意喻

师恩如山;五礼为彩线,象征师生情绵延。

出席典礼的人士包括该院董事长拿督张文强、理

事长黄循积、院长祝家华博士、署理董事长拿督陈联

顺、副董事长黄明羽、资深副院长王润华讲座教授、

副院长侯亨能博士、郑良树博士、同济大学鲁迅研究

中心主任鲁迅长孙周令飞教授等。

新书推介礼

中午时分,假文物馆有一场新书发布会,9本汇

集新马两地作家的新书于当场推介发布,其中有《

新村》(The New Village)、《Hen-taui的隐藏纸莎草

新马扩展大学教育,路在何方?

10月7日,新马两地教育工作者与媒体在华侨中学

举行了一场汇聚百多名学者的座谈会,商讨两地

大学教育的路向,奠下了一些重要的观点。

本文仅摘录三方面的言论来忖托出这个座谈会的

重大意义。

教育应培养出完整的公民

南洋理工大学终身荣誉教授郭振羽在总结时指

出:新加坡大学教育应培养出完整的公民,不能只重

视专业的知识和分析能力,也要关注学生的人文素养

和社会关怀。

南院今年中获得国家高教部批准升格为大学学

院,显然是马国华社多年努力争取的结果。

华社多年努力争取的结果

南方大学学院的成立,使马国成为中国与台湾以

外,唯一拥有从小学到大学的完整华文教育体系的国

家。这个发展难免使人联想到新加坡曾经矗立东南亚

首所华文大学-----南洋大学。

南方大学学院校长祝家华博士指出,他很感动于

新加坡社会对于南方大学学院获准升格的共鸣。所谓

南大精神,代表了海外华人办学的历史是经久不衰

的;打自陈嘉庚毁家兴学,到全面发动捐助办学,从

前这样,现在也是这样。

座谈会主持人新加坡报业控股华文报集团总编辑

林任君指出:现今到马国念大学的新加坡学生人数凤

毛麟角,但随着南院升格为南方大学学院,是否会扭

转这个局面,吸引更多人“逆流北上”,将是接下来

可观察的发展趋势。

从前这样,现在也是这样

“这是一个我们目前还无法预测的问题。但可以

肯定的是,南方大学的成立和发展势将对柔佛和新加

坡一带的华文生态产生正面的冲击,发挥积极作用,

使到华语和华族文化出现更茁壮的发展。”(引述自

2012年10月8日联合早报陈能瑞报道)

专访周令飞

鲁迅与现代中国文化

只要能培一朵花,就不妨做做会朽的腐草。 -- 《彷徨》

余秋雨在高谈中国文化当儿,将文化的一切成果归于集体人格,曰:“文化,是一种由精神价值、生活方式所构成的集体人格。”(《中华文化四十七堂课:从北大到台大》,页3)于他而言,鲁迅乃真正明白中国文化真谛的人,他提出了“国民性”的问题。鲁迅写《阿Q正传》《药》《孔乙己》等都是在探究集体人格的问题。

《鲁迅是谁?》一书中,有这么一句话:“如陈丹青先生所言:‘鲁迅是谁?’的问题,就是‘我们是谁?’的问题。”由此可见,鲁迅在广泛上而言是中国文化之化身。

问:身为名人后代,对您的生活可有怎样的影响?

周:身为名人之后,不得不承受大众异样眼光。普罗

大众对名人后代都很好奇,也有所期待。举例说,祖

父是大文豪,老师就会要求你的文笔也一定要很好,

否则有负于他。小时候,别人在后面指指点点地说,

我是鲁迅的孙子。初时对此备受瞩目的情况还沾沾自

喜,犹感殊荣;然而当你想独处之时却会造成相当的

困扰。我上课的时候,人家扒窗户,把我当猴子看,

所以那时的我有点逃避鲁迅。对此身份的释怀经历了

三个时段,第一为逃避期;第二为介于备受关注与无

法适从两者间;第三则开始释怀,不再介意他人的看

法,做好自己即可。以往过度注重他人的评语与期

望,对我造成许多无形的精神压力。现在倒觉得能为

祖先做事是一种殊荣,特别祖先是伟人-鲁迅。他是

现代优秀文化代表人物,身为鲁迅家属更有责任将这

种优秀文化传播出去。(会否有人诟病您在借鲁迅来

出名?)这种事根本就不用借,我本来就是鲁迅的长

孙,又何借之有呢?这与那些与鲁迅非亲非属,却靠

鲁迅之名大捞一笔的人不是一个路数。

问:身为鲁迅后人,您对鲁迅印象如何?会否与一般

人在教科书上或文字上看到的鲁迅不一样?

周:早期对鲁迅的认识并没有因家属身份而有差异,

都是像大众一样从书本上认识他。自少离家,中学又

碰上文革时期,对鲁迅也没有很深入了解。尔后,开

始推广鲁迅文化事业时,慢慢对他有所了解,一点一

点,有一个轮廓出现,感觉到现在的鲁迅其实不是我

们认识的,是一个平面的,过分“意识形态化”的形

象。说到底鲁迅也是一个人,有阴晴圆缺的、有感情

思想的、有喜怒哀乐的。

问:在中国大陆“鲁迅”一词已逐步走上商品化、经

济化的路线,到底是什么因素使然?

周:一语概之,“名人经济效应”。不只鲁迅,中国

许多名人都已被商品化、经济化,譬如:毛泽东、孔

子、苏轼、李白、范冰冰、刘翔等。这已达到严重泛

滥的地步。商品化的鲁迅与其精神价值压根儿挂不上

勾。套用郁达夫一句名言,“没有伟人的民族是不幸

的,有了伟人而不懂得敬重的民族是可悲的。”

问:如此说来,鲁迅在中国大陆被严重地被革命化、意识形态化,甚至商品化,鲁迅家属又该如何还原鲁迅的人性?周:我们极力于让鲁迅精神复苏。我们想还原一个有

血有肉的鲁迅,让他作为亲人回到周家;我们想保护

鲁迅,传播、普及鲁迅,让鲁迅精神在真正意义上回

60

归大众。一直以来,我们都在当义工,经过不断努

力,已连续五年举办“全国鲁迅学校校际交流会”,

连续四届颁发“鲁迅青少年文学奖”,连续七年举

办“鲁迅论坛”,而我们举办的“鲁迅是谁?”巡回

展览,参观人数已经突破120万!此外,我们觉得,

传播和普及鲁迅精神宜从简。为了把他从神台搬入民

间,我们标立了鲁迅的四个精神--“立人为本”“独

立思考”“拿来主义”和“韧的坚守”,特别方便学

生和一般民众记忆。(其实您们在进行的,会否引来

鲁迅研究者的不满与谩骂?)有人说我们踩过界,动

了他人那块乳酪,其实他们过虑了,他们是学术,我

们是普及,是不同领域。不过,学术界与政教界到目

前为止都没能为鲁迅划定一个思想核心圈,各方都各

执一词,以自身的角度为重(有人说这是因为鲁迅的

深广),如此,很难统一对鲁迅的核心思想的认知。

目前对鲁迅的解读,除了普通读者(包括民间研究

者),还有官方、学界和鲁迅家属3个层面。官方的

解读是政治现实需要的解读;学界的解读是还原历

史,为过去解读;而我们家属的解读,是着眼于未

来,角度不一样。这3个层面需要一种共同的认识,

就是对现代文化精神的一种共同认识,对鲁迅的定

位。我以为,欲对鲁迅有全面的了解,单靠阅读鲁迅

文本不足够,还得从身边人的眼光来看鲁迅,这很重

要,譬如他的弟子们、他的亲属、甚至他的论敌,特

别是萧红先生所著《回忆鲁迅先生》,那里头就是一

个活脱脱有血有肉,笑声明朗的鲁迅形象,有别于一

般“横眉冷眼”的形象。

问:大陆、台湾、新马对鲁迅的接受与看法皆不一

样。在中国大陆,是神话、经济效应的鲁迅;台湾是

戒严开放后的新鲁迅;新马一带更多的是文学、批判

精神的鲁迅。不知您对此有何看法。

周:鲁迅在台湾曾是禁书,解严后才和民众接近,比

较未受意识形态的扭曲。台湾学界对鲁迅持有相对客

观的角度,无论是文本阅读或是研究工作,这对鲁迅

而言是件好事。新马与台湾情况是否类似,我尚无发

言权,我才来两天嘛。

问:可否请您谈谈为何现在我们依然需要阅读鲁迅?

周:鲁迅是活水泉源,必将对中国现代文化产生重要

的贡献。

专访戴万成教授

提高领导能力与管理能力

2012年9月16日,大马日,本来

是举国公假,但是南方大学学

院举行了一场蛮富意义的培训课。

我们的董事,萧清顺先生,由于请

来著名绩效管理KPI专家戴万成教

授在新山为八家企业公司主持培训

课程,他特别邀请戴教授来南方大

学学院,给我们的主任级人员上一

堂密集的课程。因此,我们举办了

这堂课;戴万成教授例外的在三天

辛苦上课后,义务性为我们增加一

天课程,以他的话来说:“我从来

没有为一堂课花那么多精力来准备

的,因为萧先生亲自邀请,盛情难

却,我花了很多时间精力来准备这

堂课,看到大家那么落力为华教奉

献,我也想为本地华社办的大专作

出最大的贡献。”

课程之后,《今日南方》编委

意识到良机莫失,赶紧驱车去新加

坡给戴万成教授作个专访,将他的

金玉良言载录这一期,以示对其真

知灼见的庄重,也期启发南方人从

中发掘提升自己的宝藏。

侯亨能博士(后简为侯):根据坊间传言,戴教授在美国的花旗银行绩效卓越,因此名声大噪,请你为我们讲讲你的花旗银行经验。戴万成教授(后简为戴):其实,

我在花旗之前,没有银行的经验。

我大学念的是数学系,毕业以后在工厂做了十几年,主要是对工厂的管

理电脑化有些不错的研究,在业界的工作绩效表现亦很显著,所以台湾

的大学就请我去教生产管理和物料管理电脑化。在那里做了十几年之

后,我又想拓展我自己的视野,所以就去雅芳Avon化妆品当它的销售董

事(Sales Director)。做了六年的销售董事之后,在1988年,花旗银

行要找完全没有银行经验的人来提升花旗银行个人金融的销售与服务品

质绩效,他们找我去试验。我就把雅芳的一套和工厂的一套放到银行里

面去。帮了花旗银行和台湾赚了不少钱。结果他们就送我到亚洲来,起

初是亚洲,后来中东,再后来连东欧的十七个国家的业务都由我管,我

当时在花旗银行实施的这一套Pro-VT标杆绩效系统是很创新的理念和做

法。在花旗做了十三年,台湾三年,新加坡十年。2005年我转到渣打银

行。成为它的全世界销售董事以及服务质量董事。

侯:过去渣打银行,有没有把部分花旗银行经验也带过去?戴:当然有。我过去渣打,是因为我的亚洲级的总裁成为渣打全球销售

总裁,他要求我过去,把这一套带到渣打去复制。

侯:请你讲讲管理的要素是什么?戴:管理最重要的是“ ”字(戴教授创造了一个新字:人 +心+能,

字典无此字)。有合适的人,有心有能力把工作做好;重要的是核心价

值观(Core value);这用来指导人把工作做好。有人,有心,有能力,

62

这个“ ” 字是很重要的,这就是我的全部管理哲

学。人对了,其他的事情都会对。所以我的管理哲学

是人最重要。

侯:南方大学学院应该注重那些方面?戴:都一样。管理没有国界,也没有行界。大学该有

个好的使命,能吸引人才到来,有心、有力地把事情

做好就行了。所有组织都是一样的。我很高兴世界各

地的大学都体认到这点。中国四川的卢州医科大学也

体认到这点。我也想把这套理念推广到南方大学来。

侯:南方大学的使命是自强不息,厚德载物,取自易经,有人说中华文化和现代管理有矛盾。你的看法呢?戴:没有矛盾。这是非常好的经营理念。自强不息就

是提高我们的能力。厚德载物就是尊重别人。

侯:南方大学人才济济,不是职员们不懂,而是热不起来。你认为该怎么办?戴:创校时的理念都定了下来,现在是发动所有人来

实现这些理念。问题就在大家达到共识,提高管理技

巧。大学的教学水平当然重要,但学术人员也需要管

理技巧,行政人员当然更需要管理技巧。

侯:南方大学的愿景是要实现一所国际化、多元文化的优质大学,你认为我们如何才能实现这个方向呢?戴:我对南方大学还认识不够。但这个愿景很好,重

要的是你有没有执行力与策略,没有的话,这些愿景

光只是喊喊而已,口号吧了。有了愿景,大学的所有

高层主管都要去追问我们应做什么,大马以及邻近国

家的大学的策略在那里,我们的优点何在,我们的弱

点有哪些,我们面对什么威胁,也就是SWOT分析。

接下来我们要列出该怎么做的策略。有了策略,才来

制订KPI主要绩效指数。

侯:南方大学面对一个很棘手的问题。我们地处靠近新加坡。新加坡是世界枢纽,薪水很高。我们面对教职员的流失率很高。你如何看?戴:流失率高,并不一定是薪水低的缘故。工作的氛

围很重要。领导对员工的关照,尊重必须做到位。我

在大学的培训里有提到3-4-5工作原则:三个人拿四

个人的薪水做五个人的工。

侯:南方大学有个笑话:南方人的工作原则是3-2-6:三个人拿两个人的薪水做六个人的工。戴:做六个人的工就太多了。三个人做五个人的工就

好。但薪水要提高。我们讲的薪水提高,不是靠华社

捐款而来,应靠我们努力去增加生源,并且做些什么

来使到政府也支付一些钱财给我们。简短地说,就是

要做到社会都认同南方大学的确对社会有益,这样捐

款才会源源而来,如此我们才能提高薪水。

侯:关于生源方面,你认为提高生源的因素是什么,是教学素质高,文凭吃香,环境美丽,还有吗?戴:这些都重要,但我认为更重要的是南方大学的毕

业生有没有学到企业需要的东西。一张文凭重要,但

更重要的是学生所学到的东西是不是企业抢着要的东

西。怎样把技职以及一些管理的技巧放进课程里去,

使到学生一毕业就被企业抢着要聘请去服务。

侯:你讲的企业不只是指商业,而也指政府、教育、文化等领域是吗?戴:是的。以台湾为例子。台湾有两所私立大学,一

所是淡江大学,也是我的母校,另一所是逢甲大学。

它们所训练出来的人才,是企业最喜欢用的。另外实

践大学的设计系毕业生,企业都抢着要。云林科技大

学的动漫很厉害,企业也是抢着要。我认为南方大学

也应该建立起自己的特色来吸引企业对你们的毕业生

垂青。

侯:南方大学的强点是中华文化,你认为中华文化可以是一个卖点吗?戴:当然可以。我的教学,中华文化就是一个强点,

在华人社区里很受欢迎。既然南方大学的强项是中华

文化,我建议你们应在中华文化的基础上加上管理技

巧,把这个组合成为南方大学的竞争优势,在马来西

亚建立为一个特色。马来西亚,新加坡,中国都需要

这样的人才,所以这条路是可行的。

侯:我们这里的教育是受到官方控制的,不是我们想要什么就能办什么,所以如何将中华文化包容到课程里去是个现实问题。戴:这当然。我只是来跟你们做个对话而已。无论如

何,我总觉得中华文化是有卖点的。例如我的讲课

吧。我昨天讲完,新加坡的一位总裁就回去他的Boss

Club传话,跟着他们就要我去给他们Club其他总裁们

讲课。我的课都是中华文化与西方管理技巧融合而成

的内容。只要你们灵活一点,一定能找到创造性的途

径去做好工作的。

侯:南方大学的人才济济,但发动不起来,问题在哪里?戴:没有团队气势。问题在领导能力。我认为高层领

导要学用将、法、术。我觉得南方大学的高层领导除

了注重学术,还要注重领导能力的提升,管理能力的

提升,才能把团队气势带起来。不要姑息一个现象:

南方自强 厚德载物

63

教职员在教完书后无所事事,不管其他的事情,认为

那与我无关。重要的是所有主管要提升领导能力和管

理技巧。那天我来替你们讲课时,我就意识到这个问

题。我讲了很多,但我感觉到教学单位有些人不太信

服。也许有人这么想:我教书就好,其他的事管它做

什么?

侯:我们常听人说建立文化是个经年累月的长期工程,不要被短期的不如意而丧失推动力。然而,不管怎么说,不如意总会挫败人的意志力,你认为我们应如何能拥抱着长期奋斗的心念去锲而不舍地坚持下去?戴:这牵涉到执行力与领导能力与管理能力的问题。

侯:我很欣赏你那天讲课时谈到的自我管理和高阶修持的“和、敬、清、寂”四个字。人与人要和谐协调,对人与对事要存在敬意,问心无愧的清澈素直之心,泰然自若的寂静。现在南方大学里有不少人被骂怕了,不想多讲话,因为多讲多错,不讲不错。你有什么看法?戴:这个我不了解南方大学,我不能讲什么。总括

来说,我们应想方设法去营造一个“和、敬、清、

寂”的氛围,这样大家才心满意足,才会死心塌地的

为组织效命。

侯:作为总结,我想把您所教的KPI课程的主要概念罗列一下,你看我有漏了什么吗?

西方管理• 3S:Simplification,Standardization,

Specification 简单化、标准化、专业化• Self-Management 自我管理• SWOT 优势、弱点、机会、威胁分析• SOP(Standard Operating Performance)标准绩效• KPI(Key Performance Index)关键绩 效指数

中国管理

• 儒道法兵的哲理: 佛—利益众生,儒— 精进利生,法—重赏严罚,道—无为圆融• 将、法、术 中西合璧(戴教授独创)

• 管理无行界、无国界• 、谋、势、易、善• 3-4-5 用人原则• 高阶修持:和、敬、清、寂• 管理修持:技、智、得、道• 向上管理,教导部署把你管理好• 态变型领导模式:指挥式、教导式、咨 导、授权式• 去芜存箐:不吝奖赏、教惩不彰

戴:很好。基本上就是这些。重要的是践行。希望大

家共勉之。

侯:谢谢。

专访者 / 侯亨能博士副校长

我要跑遍全世界!---专访残障马拉松跑者曾梽溶

南方自强 厚德载物

南方校友

64天生患有神经萎缩症,但是他不怨天尤人;

他热爱马拉松,以此找回他生命的价值。他

受邀于今年十二月代表马来西亚参加台湾东

吴大学的首届残障人士超级马拉松比赛。他

立下目标要打破世界马拉松纪录,他的人生

价值观与超强意志力令人激赏。7月13日,

他联合巴株巴辖马拉松协会与南院举办一个

12小时马拉松义跑,为年尾他要去台湾东吴

大学的24小时马拉松比赛暖身预备。这一期

我们特意专访他,目的就是介绍我国这样一

位特异人才,从他的话语中汲取对生命的振

奋剂。坦白说,我国华教运动,就彷如一场

马拉松长跑,相互辉映,不无借鉴之处。

侯 请问当时你为什么加入南院,为什么选中南院?

曾 我当时加入南院的其中一个原因是我参加了南院

的饥饿三十活动。那时就想到我有没有机会来南院

求学,因为南院有个很好的读书环境。我毕业时被

一间残障人士大学录取去那里读书。我在那里读了三

天就跑回来。原因是那间大学太少华人,全体几千名

大学生中只有七位华人学生。那时我心里在挣扎,为

什么把我送去残障人士大学就读?我的内心告诉我我

并不像残障人士。我的母亲只给我两个月的时间去找

学校。那时我第一个想找的就是南方学院。我打电话

去南院询问,那时院长不在;过了一个月后,我在纳

闷,为什么南院还没回音呢?在这个期间,我设法打

电话去新纪元和韩江学院询问。他们收到我的成绩都

讲我不符合他们学院的资格。时间越来越急,在最后

一个星期,南院来电说副院长与院长祝家华博士要引

见我,问我为什么选择南院?我就去见院长。我当时

这么想:我的成绩这样差,哪一间大学看到我都会跑开,能进一所大学的希望是很渺

茫的,我只能去南院试试运气。最后两天,我还记得那是星期五,祝院长来电叫我明

天星期六去南院办入学手续。南院是4月8日开课。那时我蛮高兴,因为终于有一间

学院肯收留我。我就去南院读书。

侯 请问你加入南院之后你最大的收获是什么?

曾 加入南院最大的收获是让我找到人生的方向和目标,而且培养我的信心和能力。

在南院我接触最多的是书本和温习功课。我住在宿舍。那时我在想,为什么每逢星期

二和四有一批老人在跑步,跑的那样快。那时我喜欢打篮球,但是同学们害怕弄伤

我,就劝我不要打篮球,因此就没有人跟我运动。当我看见这些老人在跑步时,我

想,咦,跑步是个人的运动,不是集体运动。一个人也可以运动。因此我就跑起步

来。然后我又参加很多活动,这些都把我从一个内向的人变为一个外向的人。

侯 你在南院这么多年,有碰到什么阻碍没有?

曾 我在南院碰到的最大阻碍是经济困难。那时我的家庭经济并不好,为了修完一定

的学分以及支付宿舍费,我感觉非常困难。当时有一些南院同事和社会公益团体出钱

帮助我,才使我能够顺利修完学分。在南院最困难的是要自己学会照顾自己,因为住

在宿舍嘛,不是和家长住在一起,所以每天起身,自己泡咖啡,泡美禄,洗衣,这让

我学到很多以前我不会做的东西。我变得更自立。

侯 你对马拉松这个运动是在南院培养起来的?

曾 对

侯 但是那些老者跑的并不是马拉松,而只是普通的跑步而已。

曾 是的。其实当时我对马拉松是什么一点都不知道。到了2008年,我才晓得跑马

拉松是要跑42公里。我心里想,我在南院一天最多跑十五圈,十五圈大约为12公

里。跑马拉松有可能吗?一跑就要跑42公里。当时南院有每年办义跑。在2007年,

我第一次参加了义跑,跑7公里,花了一个半小时。

侯 跑得很慢啊!

曾 是,是的跑得很慢,7公里要一个半小时。但是跑完那种感觉很开心,很爽快。

那时我想,我有没有机会真正跑马拉松,我就开始跟几位老前辈去外面参加跑马拉

松。当我跑的时候,我是蛮难过的,为什么?因为全场我跑最后一名,跑得最慢的。

主办当局还要等我跑完才能收拾岗位。不过,我发现,从过去的21公里到42公里到

现在的52 公里,我发现马拉松不是难跑,而是心态问题。如果你认为跑5公里很难,

当你跑了500米时,你就想要放弃了,因为难字在你的脑海里。现在的我要跑10公

里,等于家常便饭,每天都要做的事情。对我来说,跑马拉松,让我认识我的生命价

值。我也要感谢南院让我有机会成为全马第一位残障人士跑马拉松的记录。

侯 台湾东吴大学是怎样认识你是个马拉松跑者?

曾 台湾东吴大学是通过一位台湾的教育培训老师林伟贤老师,我从南院毕业之后跟

林伟贤老师结下很深远的缘分,他知道我有个梦想,希望在有生之年能去东吴大学参

加一场超级马拉松比赛。我在我跑马拉松的过程中找到我自己但是在马拉松之中我要

找到我的底线到底在哪里?前几年我一直在讲我要去台湾东吴大学参加超级马拉松比

赛,刚好这位林伟贤老师是台湾东吴大学的校友,他和东吴大学在谈我这个例子时,

就问有残障人士马拉松吗?而且这是名华人。东吴大学就开始跟我拿资料。经过审核

之后,他们决定开办第一届残障人士超级马拉松赛。很幸运的,我这十几年来的记录

被审核过关。

侯 你是说台湾东吴大学是听见你一位残障人士也可以跑马拉松而受到影响而决定主办第一届残障人士超级马

拉松赛是吗?

曾 是的。超级马拉松不是一个普通的马拉松选手可以去比的,因为它不是比跑得快,而是比跑得远,比的是

耐力,体力和意志力。很高兴的是台湾东吴大学于今年四月决定主办第一届残障人士超级马拉松赛,并邀请我

去参加。

侯 这场比赛是全世界性的?

曾 是的,全世界的。如果是正常人马拉松赛,普通选手必须在一年内完成四场100公里的比赛。

侯 残障人士就不需要这个条件?

曾 因为他们也不知道如何为残障人士定条件,所以他们决定用我的表现结果来作为第二届以后的标准。

侯 超级马拉松有世界纪录吗?

曾 有,一位德国人在18小时里跑了63公里。我有个欲望要打破这个世界纪录。上个月我在南院跑12小时跑

了52公里。这样推算一下,我到台湾东吴大学的24小时马拉松,我在前半部就可以跑52公里,后半部我应该

可以跑它25公里,这样加起来全程就有77公里。我给自己定下的目标是跑90公里。希望能够顺利完成。

侯 你可以再次重述一下马拉松对你有什么价值?

曾 马拉松给我找到我的人生目标。因为医生曾经说过我活不过二十一岁。当时我开始练习跑步时我是二十

岁。现在已经二十八岁了,为什么我能活过二十一岁,我想也许就是马拉松的精神使我活下去。我的脑海里还

有很多东西还未完成,还未实现,也许就是这样的思路使我的生命走得更坚强。

侯 最后一个问题回到你的病,你可以讲讲你的病是怎样来的,你是怎样看待你的病呢?

曾 可以,没问题。我的病是神经萎缩症。这个病是当我们慢慢长大时,我们的神经线将会被捆绑着,我们拿

笔,行走等行动将会变成不自然,有点抽筋的感觉。神经萎缩症在医学上被认为很难活过二十一岁。我小时候

很喜欢运动也许就是这个原因,我的病情因此而获得缓和下来。

侯 基本上你是用运动来挑战生命和延续生命,它也告诉了你,你已经活过了二十一岁。

曾 是的,我要用马拉松来跑出更有信心的一个我。

侯 你是个激励讲师,你的个人生命的奇特处有没有被你拿来用在激励课程上去激励别人?

曾 有的。我认为激励讲师不是去教人玩游戏,而是教人认识他身上所有的东西,然后教他去突破它,使他得

到真正的他自己。我开始跑步的时候,一公里要用半个小时来跑,现在一公里只需九分钟就跑完。这是我的突

破。人要突破自己,而不是局限在自己的范围内。

侯 最后我有一个问题要问你:

你有过消极的时候吗?

你是怎样克服它的?

曾 当然有。当我感觉到消极时,

我会想高兴的事情。我相信人要乐

观才能成大事,心态摆正了才会乐

观起来。乐观了我们做起事情来就

会高高兴兴的。

侯 谢谢你。

曾 不用谢,再见。

2012年11月2日,新山中华总商会与南方大学学院

签署一项备忘录,掀开一个产学合作的平台;南

方大学学院将与社会企业界密切联系,以进行产学合

作,为我们的毕业生寻找就职机会,也为在籍南方大

学学院生提供实习的管道,把我们的课程与社会企业

结合起来,使我们的学生学到社会企业实际要求的知

识。另一方面,这表示了新山中华总商会确实是履行

社会责任的一个中坚份子。南方大学学院得以和新山

中华总商会联袂协作,实乃南方一大荣幸。

掀开产学合作平台

一所人文大学应该与社会紧密结合,大学的课程

应符合于企业与时代的需求,企业也应提供大学以就

业与研究的机会。在先进国家中,这叫做产学研结

合。意即产业、学校与研究机构互相配合,互通有

无,互惠互利地推动区域性的经济发展。学校可以将

科技研究成果转化为产业优势,产业可以为学校提供

实验平台与就业机会,而研究机构则能为学校提供创

新的研究项目与设备。结合的形式不一而足。

新山中华总商总会新届理事会意识到它有责任去

为社会做出一项贡献:成为促进社会繁荣发展的一座

桥梁,为企业界与大学学院架构一个沟通与合作的平

台,使企业界的人才需求得以解决,也使大学学院的

毕业生谋到职业;使企业与大学学院之间互惠互利。

企业与大学学院之间互惠互利

新山正在开展着一个庞大的经济特区---依斯干

达工业区。这项计划将吸引世界著名企业前来投资设

厂,需要大量的人力资源。新山中华总商会能够在人

力资源这方面做出一番贡献,那肯定将使新山中华总

商会摇身一变,成为新山区的企业界枢纽,这必然是

新山中华总商会自我壮大声势的一个大动向。

将提高南方大学学院的地位

南方大学学院新近升格,其声誉尚有待提高。听

说依斯干达工业区将有六七所国内外大学来此建立分

校,这将带来莫大的学生市场竞争。南方大学学院乃

一所非营利的大学,与一般营利性的大学比起来,它

略逊一筹,还需谋求更多的生存之道。有了新山中华

总商会来为南方大学学院创造与企业界多面向的合作

空间,无疑的将提高南方大学学院的地位。当社会人

士看到南方大学学院的毕业生都能很顺利的获取企业

工作时,那将给人以信心,对南方大学学院结合企

业,延伸的说,其学位的市场价值,更为看好。

为了使这企业多面向合作空间行使得更顺畅,南

方大学学院将不断地提供给新山中华总商会有关毕业

生名表及他们所属课程,使企业一目了然地看到他们

所想要的人才归类,以及让企业晓得如何提升南方大

学学院的课程使之更符合企业需求。

许多具体行动措施必相应而生

企业界则将不时地提供给新山中华总商会他们希

望找到的人才的领域,经验与知识等。南方大学学院

的学生也可以提供他们预期要找的职业方向,让新山

中华总商会更能具体地帮到忙。这是一个双相的沟通

与合作平台。南方大学学院也欢迎企业界的专家们过

来校园给予讲座以便阐述他们的业务或技术。企业界

也将乐意于提供给南方大学学院的学生实习或研究的

机会。当然,随着这个沟通与合作平台的不断发展,

很多具体的行动措施必然会相应而生。

南方大学学院与新山中华总商会为 南 院 毕 业 生 与 企 业 之 间 铺 设 多 面 向 沟 通 与 合 作 平 台

南方自强 厚德载物

从远处眺望,一座巍巍的宫廷式建筑物映入眼

帘,宏伟堂皇的金黄色庙宇,即是新山有名的

三善宫。

三善宫最初由 Boo Sim 女士所创设,供奉紫光

菩萨的庙宇就设立在她位于陈旭年街的住所内。随着

时间的推移,越来越多信众到庙宇来膜拜,造成空间

不敷,因而开始物色新地点,以方便信众们进行宗教

活动。最终在新甘光路觅获一间木屋,并决定搬迁

至此,同时正式把庙宇命名为“三善宫”。尔后,

获得了善心人士捐献一片位于耶耶阿哇路山岗上的

土地,因此三善宫管理人决定在此修一座新庙宇,并

于1955年将三善宫搬迁至此。三善宫邀请了由当时

的柔佛州摄政王(后来成为了柔佛州苏丹)D.Y.M.M

Almarhum Sultan Ismail 莅临主持开幕典礼,以示隆

重。这也显示出柔佛皇族对宗教的宽容态度。多年

后,由于年久破旧,三善宫发起从修庙宇计划。新庙

宇于2000年7月25落成,并恭请新山慈善家已故丹斯

里郭鹤尧局绅主持开幕。

发挥宗教慈善精神

三善宫最大的宗教活动之一是庆祝九皇大帝宝

诞。农历九月初一至初九为九皇大帝宝诞,众多善信

抱着虔诚的心前来参拜。这期间,除了本地善信,更

吸引了不少外国香客(尤其是新加坡人)前来参拜。

信众们不分男女老少,都以一颗诚心,来祈求九皇大

帝的保佑。每一天的场面都非常盛大,人潮窜动,香

火鼎盛。受访者表示,膜拜九皇大帝时,诚心最为重

要,即使人潮拥挤,也应该以虔诚的心上香祈福,希

望九皇大帝保佑一家大小平安顺利,心想事成。

三善宫九皇大帝宝诞不忘华文教育发展文 / 陈秋平博士、黄佳洁

三善宫在社会上扮演着多重的角色,除了宣扬正

信宗教,给予大众一个完善的信仰空间,同时,三善

宫也十分重视慈善事业,积极的推动各种社会福利工

作,为社会谋求福利。理事会主席陈新受访时就表

示,三善宫的宗旨是为提供一个适合的场所给善信膜

拜,向神佛祈福及庆祝庙内诸神佛宝诞,促进及加强

善信及会员们之间的团结与友谊,同时也举办慈善活

动及服务社会。陈新进一步说明:“我们除了重视宗

教信仰,也发挥宗教的慈善精神,十几年来,我们定

期颁发慈善基金捐款及华小小六会考(UPSR)奖励

金。除此,我们也长期捐献各慈善团体和各大小学

府,从不间断。”

和南方大学学院关系密切

至于三善宫和南方大学学院之间的关系,一直以

来都是密切的。根据三善宫理事会秘书温瑞光的看

法,三善宫理事会每一年都以透明化的方式,拨款予

南方大学。温先生说:“我们乐见南方学院升格为大

学,大家都感到十分开心,并希望大家一起将华教办

得更好。”可见三善宫与华文教育有着不可分割的关

系,也具有办好华文教育的使命。

做为一所宗教场所,三善宫不止在培养宗教信仰

方面做出本身的贡献,同时也为社会和教育,尤其是

华文教育的发展,给予无限的关心,定时的做出各种

捐献,让办教育者得以安心办学,使得莘莘学子得以

安心学习。总而言之,三善宫无论在宗教信仰方面,

还是对社会的责任方面,都积极的扮演好自己的角

色,值得其他华人庙宇学习。

酝酿许久的2012年南方学院运动会在7月6日(星

期五)正式引爆。主题为“ Are you ready ?

”的运动会,在尊敬的莫泽浩州议员点燃火炬后正式

举行。莫泽浩州议员也当场宣布捐献三千令吉。

今年也是第一次由各色队队长拿着火炬绕草场跑

一圈。在点燃火炬后,就是活力四射的啦啦队表演。

各色队都尽全力的表演,希望能为他们的队伍打打

气。之后,四大色队还首次一起同台演出,让全场气

氛大为提升。

表演结束后,紧张刺激的田径项目比赛也陆续展

开了。虽然在比赛进行到一半的时候,天不作美,下

起了大雨,但是却浇灭不了运动员们的热情。在大雨

过后,运动员们重新回到赛场,继续地为着各色队的

荣耀,尽全力去争取奖牌。

与去年的运动会不同,今年各色队在赛会里不相

上下,在不同项目里各有千秋,不到最后一刻,都不

知鹿死谁手。各色队各个项目里争得你死我活,只

为了得到那最高的荣誉。比赛的高潮莫过于紧张刺激

的拔河竞赛了!今年的拔河出现了以往都不曾见过的

情况:拔河专用的绳子连续断了两次。但是,却仍然

无法阻止运动员们的渴望。过后,大会找到了新的绳

子,拔河比赛再度展开。最后,青队拼着打不死的精

神及团结合一的毅力,最终夺下了拔河冠军。

在整个赛会结束前,扣人心弦的大队接力让所有

的运动员全情投入,挥洒热血的青春。各个运动员们

卯足全力,朝着终点迈进。最后,蓝队的运动健儿们

夺下大队接力的冠军,弥补了拔河比赛的遗憾。

在下午5点左右,2012年南方学院运动会圆满落

幕。在一阵激烈的角逐后,又到了曲终人散的时候。

最终,蓝队获得了全场总冠军的荣誉。然而,“比赛

第二,友谊第一”,所有的运动员脸上都挂着满足的

笑颜。不管多么地疲惫,也不管付出了多少辛酸血

泪,那满满的回忆及青春,才是最珍贵的奖品。

“献给中医学者:只要奋发努力,持之以恒,以苦作舟,以勤为径,就会学好中医,成为一位高明的中医工作者,乃至登仲景之堂,入轩岐之室,为继承发扬祖国医学做出贡献”这是紫如阁草药园精心为我们准备的讲义上第一页的内容。看到这段文字,心中一阵感动,犹如巴士经过兴楼河大桥时看见河面的波光粼粼。

首次草药园户外教学

75

们介绍那里的草药。这里的草药都是本地草药,有些

是在课本里面有记载的,如鱼腥草、穿心莲、车前草

等,但是我们学到了这些草药在记载中以外的其他功

效,是民众吃过这些草药后总结出来的经验分享。例

如鱼腥草可以解烟毒,建议烟民当茶饮用。

那里还有许多草药是我们没有学过的,如天文

草、黄花母、火炭母、珍珠花菜、南非叶、大驳骨、

小驳骨等等。它们当中有些具有非常有趣的功效,例

如天文草的花可以治疗牙痛,刚好最近我在长智齿,

一直有疼痛感,听闻后立即摘了一朵来尝试,结果我

只咬了10秒,就因为花朵的味道很奇怪而把它吐出

来,我的半边嘴都是麻麻的感觉,过了一会儿,麻痹

令人期待的草药园之旅终于来临了,7月23日早

上8.30分,中医系一家大小陆陆续续在中医大楼前集

合出发。

大约12.30pm,我们终于抵达了目的地——紫如

阁草药园。德教会紫如阁是一所让民众供奉的庙宇,

庙宇旁边就是草药园和药厂,这里也有驻诊医师为民

众看诊。

与紫如阁代表进午餐后,我们全体在紫如阁的正

门大合照。随后,在艳阳高照的此刻,同学们都各自

准备好防晒措施,接着,我们就一手拿讲义,一手拿

相机,跟在紫如阁的职员姐姐身后,听她耐心的为我

76

的感觉减轻后,牙齿也不怎么有感觉,看来天文草可

以治疗牙痛是因为它有令嘴巴麻痹的效果,还真是讲

义所说的立马止痛。

左手香也挺有趣的,据说这草药的叶子放在衣服

里面,可以防蛀虫。此外,火炭母也成为穷人燕窝,

是因为它的功效和燕窝相似,可以治热毒,利湿止

痒,明目退翳,还可以煮水加黄糖当凉茶饮用。

半边莲、车前草、木芙蓉等在南院也有见过,因

此印象更加深刻。讲义上还附有这些草药的服用方

法,例如以两片南非叶加一个青苹果搅汁饮用,有降

血压、降血糖、降胆固醇的功效,还可以使眼睛疾病

得到改善;珍珠花菜可以在煮快熟面时加入,功效与

益母草相同,可以清热凉血、活血、理气、清肝明目

等作用。

在我们七嘴八舌激烈的咨询与讨论下,草药园就

在不知不觉中被我们绕了一圈。被中午的太阳毒照

一顿后,我们便躲到小亭子休息喝茶解暑。这凉茶

也是用草药——猫须草煮成的,原植物有着白色的

花,花瓣的形状就像散开的猫须,非常好看。猫须

草凉茶一入口时味道淡淡的,过后才有一点的甘甜

味道回流。

休息一阵后,紫如阁的职员便带我们参观旧药

厂,首先是进入一个小房间,里面有两台大机器,

是粉碎药材用的。另一个房间便是将药粉装袋,那

里的包药机跟校内治疗中心的原理差不多,但药厂

的机型更大,让我们叹为观止。

再进入另一个小房间,有一台将药粉装入胶囊

的机器。这台半自动机器一次能装好400颗胶囊,的

确节省不少人力和时间,虽然我们没有机会参观到

新的药厂,但至少也认识了药粉和形成胶囊的整个

制作过程,希望以后有机会参观更大规模的药厂。

尽管是首次担任主持人但是陈力聚同学的表现可圈可

有大将之风。

院长祝家华博士在迎新会上致词时表示,以中医

系目前所招收的学生人数看来,已有增长,值得嘉

赏。同时希望在升格为大学学院之后可以在二零一四

年开办属于自己的学士课程。届时,学生就能够在本

地学府完成学士课程。院长也表示希望首相可以亲自

前来颁发升格大学学院的批准信。此外,院方也期盼

筹备中的国际教育大楼能够在今年年底开始动工,明

年完工,造福学生。

中医楼管理委员会主席拿督陈联顺先生在致词时

颇有感触的说道:“从没想过中医系能够在如此短的

时间内成立,而且现在连门诊部也能够正式营业。当

初决定设立门诊部就是为了提供一个平台予学生,好

让他们有个接触中药局、实践的地方。

对于中医系的讲师与职员们,我衷心的向你们表

达我对你们的谢意。其实你们可以另谋高就,但你们

却选择留在南院,为南院付出。真的很感激你们。至

于中医系的学生,希望你们能够发挥你们的爱心,多

刻刻多照顾环境,要保护、爱惜公物。另外,院方向

中国厂商采购的教学仪器,近期即将抵达,希望大家

能够善用并珍惜这些器材。”

此外,拿督陈联顺也在迎新会上颁发成绩优异奖

给在上学期考获优异成绩的学生。一共有四位学生获

颁这项奖项,他们分别是罗加格同学 (GPA 3.94)、周

蔚修同学 (GPA 3.94)、彭一杰同学 (GPA 3.88) 以及

李伟杰同学 (GPA 3.88)。

新生和旧生也联手呈现一首手语歌曲《爱》给现

场的来宾,以表达他们对嘉宾们抽空出席迎新会的谢

意。尽管新生才加入不及一个月,但与学长学姐们之

间的默契不差,勇气可嘉,值得赞赏。

同时,为了加深中医系基础班以及学士班新生与

旧生之间的了解,大会特地安排了一段让班长介绍各

自班级同学的时段。班长们别出心裁的介绍方式令在

场嘉宾留下深刻的印象。

原有的中医系基础班不包括毕业生共有两位学

生,加上这学期招收的五位,共有七位学生。至于中

医系学士班原本拥有十七位学生,加上七位新生,一

共有二十四位学生。因此,目前全系共有三十一位学

生。

中医系成立不足两年,就开办了中医系基础课程

以及和中国天津中医药大学联办的3+2中医学士学位

课程,其中中医系基础班已于去年获得大马学术鉴定

机构(MQA)颁发的最高认证。仍处在刚起步阶段的

南方学院中医系,能够在开课初期就招收到逾三十位

学生,实属不易。期盼大家再接再励,令南方学院中

医系攀上高峰,成为全马来西亚首屈一指的科系。

宽柔学村实至名归 三院暂不谈婚论嫁文 / 理事长黄循积 ( 宽柔学村国际学术研讨会闭幕词 )

从过去到现在,宽柔高中毕业生有55届,初中毕

业生有58届,小学毕业生有94届,如今相信

至少有10万名宽柔人分布在全世界。今天,宽柔五校

有1万名学生,宽中两校有1万名学生,南方大学生有

1,700人,总数共有2万2千人。宽柔学村是实至名归

的。

一山一庙一校的传统精神

宽 柔 创 办 于 1 9 1 3 年 , 1 9 5 1 年 设 立 初 中 部 ,

1 9 5 5 年 设 立 高 中 部 , 宽 柔 是 一 间 完 整 的 中 学 。

1956年,前黄则吾校长出掌宽中,曾以钟灵的模式来

改变宽中的课本,1957年引发学潮,后在董事元老劝

说之下结束。

1958年宽中董事会议决拒绝改制。这也是郑良树

教授所说的新山人第一次用脑。宽中不改制,维护董

事会的自主权,让许多超龄生继续上课, 然而,不接受

改制,就没有政府的津贴, 宽中董事会曾在一个时期面

对了经常费的财务困难。但新山人本着一山一庙一校

的传统精神, 五帮会馆成了宽中的财务资助, 由各帮轮

流来支持宽中的经费, 这段历史却很少被人提起。

新山人第二次用脑,创办了南方学院。原本是办

宽柔学院,鉴于当时政治环境因素,而被拒绝,改名

称为南方学院。

宽柔与南方成为一体

今天南方学院已经升格为大学,郑教授所说的宽

柔学村, 蔚然成形,这是新山人第三次用脑。宽柔学

村从小学、中学至大学,以中华文化为核心,独具一

格。际此迎接宽柔百年校庆之时,今后最重要的任务

之一是,如何加强内聚力,以使到宽柔与南方大学学

院成为一体。

这一次的国际学术研讨会非常富有意义,它触及

了宽柔学村的创始,奋斗,茁壮成长,开支阔叶,也

谈到华人民办大学的新定义,更商讨我国三所华人民

办大专学府是否应联合起来。纵观全场,可说是带出

了我国华人办学的精神面貌,反映了新山这块土地蔚

然一片浓厚的人文气息。

对于宽柔学校的创始,第三场论文发表会带出了

一些歧议:有学者发现历史文献里有提到1913年之前

就有Chinese School。到底这所谓的“华人学校”是

不是我们所指的“华文学校”,还有待更深入的研

究。可喜的是研讨会上并不见主持人安焕然博士论文

题目所讲的“争议”。学术研究重在以事实为根据。

对于宽柔学校是不是在1913年创始,希望学者们继续

努力找出详实的结论来。

第二场论文发布会一学者论述了马来西亚华文中

学改制上钟灵中学与宽柔中学的比较,一学者论述宽

柔学村与集美学村的华人办学共性,另一学者分析宽

柔中学与中国的关系。

第三场论文发布会强调宽柔学村的办学精神面貌

以及宽中三陈的教育典范。

关于三院联合申请与兴办大学的概念,三院的院

长都各抒己见,可见需要研讨的方面还多着。一句华

人谚语说得好:“哀莫大于心死!”。只要大家心不

死,只要大家目标一致,相信随着时间的推移,情景

的变化,大家一定会思考出最好的办学方针来。正如

南方大学学院理事长黄循积在闭幕致词时说的:“三

院暂不谈婚论嫁”。以一个正面的定音之锤,宽柔国

际学术研讨会完满结束。

热爱教育不遗余力

华社铭记郭老精神 丹斯里郭鹤尧局绅于10月13日不幸与世长辞,

享年96岁,全体华社痛失斯人,无不对其“公心与良

心”的服务精神满怀敬仰。郭老的高雅遗风,可谓高

山仰止,景行行止。

郭老终其一生对社会、文化、教育不遗余力,可

从他留下的两句名言见之一般:“人生如流水,一去

不回头,抓也抓不回,稀里哗啦的,个人只是微小的

旁观者。”、“过去的终会过去,是非成败转头空,

名与利,不需要太注重。”

南院发起人

郭老是南方学院(今已升格为南方大学学院)的发

起人之一,并在南院设立之后,担任首任董事长。在

南院草创时期,有3人参与了南院的取名工作,他们

是云时进、黄复生,及郭鹤尧。1991年5月,南院首届始业式。左起: Dato’ Usman Awang、丹斯里郭鹤尧、黄复生

最初,南院是以“宽柔学院”的名义,提出申办

的要求,但是,这个名字不被当局接纳。究竟要用甚

么名字?大家颇伤脑筋。后来,云时进有了灵感,他

想到北马有北方大学,因此,便建议采用“南方学

院”这个名字。郭老觉得这名字颇有意思,黄复生也

没异议,于是3人一致同意采用此名。

吊唁与执绋

郭老逝世当天晚上,到郭府吊唁的人士非常拥

挤。南方大学学院有四十名师生前往吊唁并充当招

待,隔天又有九名学总代表执绋送殡。

从此往矣一代人杰。

文化反映国家的特征

文化反映了一个国家的特征。

马来西亚是个富有文化实践

的国家。文化实践反映了我们多元

社会的特征。其中一个促进民族团

结关系的工具可以是歌曲。歌曲的

有效与否可以被量出来,如果这首

歌曲含有形塑或改变一个社会行为

的信息的话。

文化反映特性 语文反映民族

一个民族的文明经常能由其文

化艺术传统看出来。这文化传统被

传承,因为它具有自己独有的特

性。传统文化覆盖了我国各民族的

实践与生活。 这包括语文、服装、

食物、风俗、艺术等等。然而,时

至今日,在现代化潮流的冲刷之

下,我国的传统文化传统越来越静

寂无闻。

作为南方大学学院的一名教

员,我被指示用马来文翻译《新正

气歌》。这首《新正气歌》最近被

翻译为三种语文:华文、英文与马

来文。说实在的,它带给我们非常

大的冲击。同时,这首被翻译为三

种语文的《新正气歌》也在世界环

境日被众多南方大学学院的学生演

唱。这首《新正气歌》突出了我们

大家对宇宙大地遭受人类贪婪地掠

夺而几近毁灭的关心,也表达了我

们的看法----马来西亚各阶层社

会人民团结一致是非常重要的。翻

译这首歌曲也间接地加强了各民族

之间长期建立起来的兄弟感情。就

在这基础上,我国多元社会的特征

将得到凸显出来, 才会被世界加以

认识。

通过三种语文的翻译, 我们可

以让大众对这首歌曲背后所蕴含的

意义有个更为逼近的体会。正如一

所蕴含的意义,也突显出华族社会

这首歌曲也使人看到,地球在

现代化潮流中,已被人类糟蹋得遗

忘了真实该有的生活规范,而处

民族团结确保国家和平

在全球任何一个国家里,民族

角色。每一个社会成员应该认识到

民族团结的重要性,也应该将此心

每一个社会成员都负起责任,扮演

自己的角色并奋起协作以维持国家

的和平,那么间接地我们大家必将

生活在一个和平安详的国家里,不

在结束此文之前,让我们来反

宁可儿子死亡 别叫文化灭亡

作为结论,别让我们的文化被

现代化浪潮所吞噬而没有做出一点

努力去保卫谚语所言:“宁可儿子

死亡,勿叫文化灭亡”。因此,别

几年前,我跟一位朋友,一位

正在东京大学执教的前学

生,以及她来自哈佛大学的导师,

坐在东京大学附近一间咖啡店里。

毫不奇怪地,我们的话题环绕在教

育上。我不经意地说了这样的话:

我要让我的学生设定他们自己的激

励水平,如果他们想漠视功课,或

不参加考试,甚至辍学,让它去

吧。我的伙伴很轻蔑地注视着我,

并告诉我,一个好的老师应该教激

励法。很明显的,我被视为不负责

任。我的反应仅是发了一阵子的唠

叨----对不起,想让这件事消弭

于无形。然而,这课题至今还存留

在我的脑际。

好老师应该教激励法

从拉丁文的字义,教育的释义

为“向前指引”。它是一个很复杂

的概念,可以不断地在人群中产生

歧义。然而,别忘了,还有那些具

有精神障碍而不能被教育者,那些

能够被教育却无兴趣者,以及那些

一进入课堂就每一分钟都享受与获

益者。

况且我们亦不能忘记,还有自

我教育者,如阿布拉罕.林肯,他从

未入学却能受到那么好的教育。让

我在这里提出几个字,来为那复杂

的教育领域里的激励定定位吧。

在任何教育机构里,教导如何

灌输激励性是一个重要的组成部

分。所有的小学,中学的学生都应

被教导,甚至被辅导,以致具有激

励性。只要一个短暂的内省,就可

以找到理由何在。不管是公共学校

或是私立学术机构,它们其中一个

最重要的任务就是教育年青人为负

责任的公民。如果一个国家的公共

与私立教育机构忽略了这个任务,

它们势将产生缺乏生产力的社会。

在这个意义上来说,我的朋友与她

的导师的观点曾是,现在仍然是完

全正确的。

鼓励知识好奇性

然而,我的观点不同。我的第

一个教学经验是军队里的一名官

员。我被指示去教那些不识字的士

兵如何阅读与写字。不用说,我花

了很多时间辅导他们负责任。十年

之后,我成为密支根大学一名教

员,我的观点变了。我发现我自己

在鼓励知识好奇性-----正如阿那

多勒.法兰西(Anatole France)提醒

我们的:“教员的行为,十分之九

在鼓励”。从那时起,我花更多时

间在学生会里一面喝咖啡一面与人

讨论文学与语言,而不是在我的办

公室里辅导没有激励性的学生。再

一次短暂的内省将会告诉我们这是

为什么。

高等教育不是被设计来产生勤

力工作的公民。它的功能是培育年

青人去挑起社会上担负责任的位

置。这个功能的一个重要方面是摒

除机构里那些不该被指定为有潜质

能做出贡献者。在这个过程的开端

是入学考试。

如果一个学生天生是懒散的,

或肯定是不负责的话,就让他或她

入学考试考不及格吧,或辍学吧,

反正这样做,他或她将腾出空间来

给具有激励性的学生----也许通

过他或她的中学老师---成为一个

领袖。这并不是说学生们不应被鼓

励去武装自己以便达致成功。相反

的,我是说,他们应从他们的中学

教育那里带来这样的激励性。

教育年青人为负责的公民

因此,可以这么说,我的朋

友,她的导师以及我本身,打从我

们各自的角度来说,都曾是,现在

仍然是正确的。对美国和日本合理

的东西,也合乎马来西亚。一个学

生应该在一所中学里被教育为负责

任而毕业出来。而一所学院或大学

的学生必须展示一定程度的自我激

励性之后才能毕业。我认为,这一

点对哈佛如此,对东京大学也一

样,对南方大学学院也完全一样。

有关教育的一些看法

by RICHARD SPEAR

Some Thoughtson EDUCATION

85

Section

Some years ago now, I was sitting at a coffee shop near Tokyo University with with a friend and former student,

who was teaching there, and her mentor from Harvard, where she had recently received her PhD. Not surprisingly the topic of our conversation was education.

Letting my students set their own level of motivation

I had rather offhandedly said something about letting my students set their own level of motivation, if they wanted to neglect assignments, not show up for exams, or even drop out of school, so be it. My companions looked at me rather disdainfully and told me that a proper teacher should teach motivation. I was clearly being considered irresponsible. My reaction was to grumble something about being sorry and let the issue drop. The topic, however, has remained on my mind to this day. Education, from the Latin word meaning “leading forth”, is a complex concept, which will forever cause disagreements. Then too, there are those who are mentally incapable of being educated, those who are capable but have no interest, and those who enjoy and benefit from every minute they spend in a classroom. And we must not forget the self-educated; men like Abraham Lincoln, who became well educated without ever going to school. But let me here offer a few words with regard to the place of motivation in the complex sphere of education.

Educate the young to become responsible citizens

In any school of education, instruction regarding the ways to inculcate motivation is an important part of teacher training. All primary and secondary school students should be taught, perhaps counseled, to be motivated. A moment’s reflection will offer up the reason. Both public schools and private academies have as one of their most important tasks to educate the young to become responsible citizens. If a nation’s public and private institutions were to neglect this task, they might well bring into existence of an unproductive society. And within this context, the views of my friend and her mentor were, and still are, totally correct. My own perspective, however, is rather different. My first teaching experience was as an officer in the army, where I was charged with teaching illiterate enlisted men how to read and write. Needless to say, I spent a good deal of time counseling them to be responsible. Some ten years later, as an instructor at the University of Michigan, my perspective changed. I found myself encouraging intellectual curiosity – for as Anatole France reminds as: “Nine-tenths of education is encouragement.” And from that time on, I spent considerably more time in the student union discussing literature and language over cups of coffee than I spent in my office counseling unmotivated students. And another moment’s reflection will suggest why.

Prepare young people to fill positions of responsibility in the society

Higher education is not designed to produce hard-working citizens. Its function is to prepare young people

86

to fill positions of responsibility in the society. And an important aspect of that function is the weeding out of those who ought not be certified as potentially contributing members of the establishment. And at the beginning of this process are entrance examinations. If a student is by nature lackadaisical or positively irresponsible, so be it. Let him or her fail the entrance exam or a course or drop out of school, since by doing so he or she will make room for another student who is motivated – perhaps with the help of his or her high school teacher – to be a leader. This is not to say that students ought not be encouraged to equip themselves with the means to be successful. Rather it is to say that they should bring with them from their secondary education the motivation necessary to do so.

And so perhaps it might be said that my friend, her mentor, and I, from our respective perspectives, were and still are, each in our own way, correct, and that what is true for America and Japan is also true for Malaysia. A student should graduate from a high school having been taught to be responsible, while a student should graduate from a college or a university only after he or she has demonstrated a substantial degree of self-motivation. This, I would suggest, is true for Harvard, Tō-Dai, and Southern University College.

“DEMOTIVATING FACTORS”

In a working place, there tends to be demotivating factors. More importantly, how are we able to overcome or reduce these factors.

The eight principal areas of demotivation are:

(a) Lack of clear job objectives. When people do not know what is expected of them, or when they do not have clear standards of performance, work slacks off. How to overcome: Sit down and consider each individual and each job. Clarify for yourself the standards and expectations. Then communicate standards and expectations to your subordinates.

(b) Standards that are set too high. When people consistently fall short of targets or fail to achieve the desired results, they become frustrated and disillusioned.How to overcome: Take another look at your operational standards. There may be a need to revise long range goals: but make sure that everybody has shorter range sub-goals he or she can accomplish within a reasonable time.

87

Section

(c) Overly loose discipline. When certain regulations are not enforced, or enforced spottily, the result is often a general comtempt for policy and procedure.How to overcome: Review the rules. If some regulations are unenforceable, drop them. Let everybody know, by word and deed, that the remaining rules will be enforced fairly and consistently.

(d) Too much pressure from the top. Employees who feel that someone is constantly pressuring on them become demotivated and ineffective.How to overcome: If this is the problem, it is not necessary to relax standards, but it may be a good idea for the manager to become less overseeing. The manager pr superior should delegate more authority where it is appropriate. Where additional delegation is not a good idea, he or she should make it a point to at least permit employees to express themselves openly.

(e) Inadequate contact with management or a superior. When people do not have sufficient contact with or access to the boss, they begin to get the feeling that no one higher up in the organization really cares about them.How to overcome: Show a greater concern for the problems and interests your people – on and off the job. Go to them. Find out how they are doing. Give them the feeling that you care.

(f) Overly heavy criticism. Criticism – even constructive criticism – can erode the will to produce if it is not sufficiently balanced by encouragement.How to overcome: Review your praise quotient. Have you been looking for opportunities to pat people on the back when they do well? Make sure that other people in the organizational know about it when you applaud a job well done. Balance off criticism – not with jokes or insincere reassurance, but with constructive suggestion, offers to help, and encouragement.

(g) Inadequate conditions or equipment. People particularly resent what they consider to be handicaps imposed upon them because of the company’s cheapness or indifference to their working conditions.How to overcome: Take an inventory of equipment and conditions in your operation from top to bottom. Compare with similar situations inside and outside the company. If changes are necessary, and if you have to make a fight of it up the line, be sure that your people know you are carrying on that fight.

(h) Abdication of the leadership role. Employees want and need leadership. When the manager or superior does not provide it, there will be problems.How to overcome: When you see this kind of thing happening, reinstate your leadership role – not by proclaiming it, but by exemplifying it. Set objectives; make sure they are clear to everybody: then get out in front by driving toward their accomplishment.

These are the basic demotivators that can creep into any job situation. Look for the signs, spot the demotivating factors and then take action to correct them.

THE SIX ‘I’ STRATEGY

How to be successful is indeed a familiar question, and the problem lies on how we define successful.

Too much ambiguity on the topic of success can lead to a fatal outcome. Therefore, all organizations seem to focus on their visions and missions, and trying to make known how to achieve them. Next uncertainty comes into our minds, do employees share the same visions and missions interpreted and set by the employer? How do we align the understanding of both distinct levels of the hierarchy and how do we start achieving them?

Certainly, there are many articles and discussions on how to improve our daily lifestyles, work, and businesses, such as organizational set up and improvement. Thinking about how to find a strategy that applies to all is even more complicated, and definitely not an easy task. Perhaps it has been common to hold responsibility on communication flow, which is deemed to be the easiest way of transferring the risk of being erroneous – which you might have heard countless times on “communication problems”.

Culture is a worldwide issue, and we need to elucidate. This article is to introduce Sun Tzu Art of War Management Styles application to the frequently asked questions in our daily life. I have defined it as “the 6 I Strategy”, and it can be applied to ourselves for personal development, business improvement, process enhancement, organizational upgrading, and much more. How do we prove that it can be applicable?

Strategy 1: Imitate

Imitation serves as the first step in the cycle of the strategy. It is also an advanced behavioral pattern for an individual’s mindset in observing and replicating others. It also means to follow or try to follow an example or pattern of others. This provides an initial set of goals with a clear direction, with available historical data for references.

For example: We imitate someone’s success to form a framework with a vision of having similar results or better. The Japanese automotive industry is one of the most prominent industries in the world. The first automobile to be made in Japan was made in 1902 by Uchiyama Komanosuke, and the sample of the actual engine was brought back from the United States for imitation of the technology.

89

Section

Strategy 2: Improve

To improve means to make something better, or to enhance to a more desirable condition or quality. This second strategy fits in to use the initial imitating strategy, and improves the system to suit one’s own circumstances.

For example: We all knew the rapid advancement of technology, the improvement of the gasoline engine and mass production to suit the market requirements is a must after the replication of the engine. Therefore, in April 1907, the aforementioned Uchiyama Komanosuke produced the Takuri, the first entirely Japanese-made gasoline engine car in an improved version that suited the weather and conditions of Asia.

Strategy 3: Improvise

The improvisation strategy, acts as the third element in the cycle, where implementing or trying something new goes on; to proceed guided only by imagination, instinct, and guesswork rather than by careful planning. In other words, one should replicate the technology and improvise by providing additional features to enhance the product and/or services.

For example: from 1914 to 1917, the Kaishinsha Motor Works operated by Hashimoto Masujiro in Tokyo, while importing, assembling and selling British cars, also manufactured seven units of a two-cylinder, 10-horsepower “all-Japanese” car called Dattogo. Kaishinsha was the first automobile manufacturing business in Japan. Also in 1914, Mitsubishi Zosen manufactured 22 Mitsubishi Model As, the first mass produced cars in Japan. Until that time, the Japanese automobile industry was in its infancy.

Strategy 4: Innovate

The strategy of innovation is the creation of better or more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or idea. Innovation also refers to the use of a new idea or method. Due to its widespread effect, it is an important topic in the study of economics, business, entrepreneurship, design, technology, sociology, and engineering. In society, innovation adds to the comfort, convenience, and efficiency of everyday life.

For example: World War II brought the requirement that Japanese zaibatsu, or industrial conglomerate, disband. Many of these companies re-formed after the occupation. The Japanese government saw the importance of restarting the domestic car market and took steps to stimulate innovation. In 1955, Suzuki began production of the 360cc Suzlite. Fuji followed with its 360cc Subaru 360, and Mitsubishi introduced its Mitsubishi 500, a small, fuel-efficient 500cc car priced affordably. 1960 saw the introduction by Toyo Kogyo, which would eventually become Mazda, a 360cc coupe. Toyota’s 700cc couple was introduced in 1961. All of these cars were the result of a government program urging carmakers to produce small, highly fuel-efficient vehicles at an affordable price for the domestic market.

Strategy 5: Invent

The invention strategy is indeed a creativity creating process. An open and curious mind allows an inventor to see beyond what is known. Seeing a new possibility, connection, or relationship can spark an invention. Inventive thinking frequently involves combining concepts or elements from different realms that would not

90

南方自强 厚德载物

normally be put together. Sometimes inventors disregard the boundaries between distinctly separate territories or fields. To invent is to see anew. Inventors often envision a new idea, seeing it in their mind’s eye. New ideas can arise when the conscious mind turns away from a problem.

For example: The mid-1970s saw the emergence of fuel-efficient and economical passenger cars and diesel-engine cars. In the late 1970s, new high-performance passenger car models appeared on the market that, in addition to complying with exhaust emissions and energy-saving requirements, also responded to increasingly sophisticated user needs. There was a growing demand for passenger cars equipped with automatic transmissions. Also, high-performance cars with turbo-chargers or DOHC engines became popular at this time. Four-wheel drive (4WD) cars, convertibles, and cars with special features such as sunroofs were very much in demand as well. These invention also marked the introduction of competitively-priced motorcycles designed for “family use” that became highly successful.

Strategy 6: Invest

The investment strategy is the final element of the cycle. It uses, gives, or devotes time, talent, etc. for the purpose of achieving something. In the economic milieu, investment generally refers to products that are purchased but are not used immediately. They will be used at a later date to generate an item that will hopefully be profitable. The management sector of the business field must decide how their investments are to be used. Therefore, they are commonly looking at how their buildings, machinery, finances, etc. are being utilized, and what kind of profit they will bring in. What is extremely important to remember is that the point of investment is to make money. People do not invest with the hope of breaking even; they invest with the hope of making a profit. A business, of course, wants to do exactly that. Other than that, they invest in order to get more professionals into the organization, upgrade the knowledge of the employees, as well as merge with other components/subsidiaries, all of which can act as a form of investment strategy.

For example: The growing demand for fuel-efficient Japanese cars in the 1970s provided Japanese manufacturers with opportunities to embark on full-scale internationalization strategies that were based on local production in export market countries, transcending the framework of exports from Japan. Full-fledged joint ventures with foreign manufacturers marked the first phase of this new approach. At the time, the U.S. manufacturers GM and Ford were beginning to promote their “world car” plans aimed at producing small passenger cars on a global scale to meet the rising demand for such cars. As part of this initiative, Isuzu and Suzuki entered into international manufacturing tie-ups with GM; Toyota established a joint venture company, New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI), with GM in the United States; and Ford expanded and reinforced its ties with Toyo Kogyo (now Mazda) in a strategy centered on Asia and the Pacific region. During this period, joint ventures were also established with European manufacturers during this period: between Honda and British Leyland in the United Kingdom, between Nissan and Motor Iberica in Spain, and between Nissan and Alfa Romeo in Italy. And in early 1984, Nissan was to begin production of Volkswagen’s Santana at its Zama plant in Kanagawa, Japan.

USEFUL TIPS ON BECOMINGA BETTER STUDENT (Part 1)

91

Section

(I) Attend Class

Although the importance of good class attendance and good note-taking seems obvious to many, it is surprising how many students fail at both! Why should you attend class regularly, even if you have read the text book carefully and thoroughly? The answers to this question are many, so I will only state the most important arguments for good attendance.

First, lectures are where your instructor presents and explains the material. In my years of lecturing students studying in local colleges and universities here, I find that it is a rare student who can fully understand a new subject by just reading the text. I feel that if you are paying for your lecturer’s expertise, why not take full advantage of it?

Second, by attending lectures you will be able to get a feel for how your particular instructor views the subject he or she is teaching. No doubt, your instructor will emphasize some aspects of the material and de-emphasize others. If you aren’t present in class, you will not know what your instructor feels is most important about the material, and you will not be able to adequately prepare for an exam.

Third, your instructor may present the material in a fashion that is different from the textbook. He or she may add, or delete material, re-organize some of the material, do demonstrations to illustrate the material, etc. Again, if you’re not there, you’ll be left in the dark.

And finally, if you do not attend class, you will miss any class discussions that may occur. Very often, in my Economics and Management classes, students will ask thought-provoking questions that will spur interesting debates and further discussion. Such debates often illuminate and clarify murky issues and concepts for students. So, if you’re not there…

(II) Take Good Notes

With regard to note-taking, I could write an entire book on how to take better notes during lecture. Obviously that kind of detail is beyond the scope of this introduction. However, I will address two problems that I have seen in my career as a college lecturer: students tend to take incomplete notes, and they tend to take poorly organized notes.

One mistake students often make is to write down only what an instructor places on the chalkboard, overhead, or computer. In doing so, many students fail to take full note of what is really taking place in the classroom: for example, the instructor’s explanation of the material presented on the board. Nearly all instructors use classroom discussion and examples or demonstrations to clarify the material.

When a student fails to take notes during these activities, he or she runs the risk of getting home only to find that he or she does not fully understand the discrete concepts that have been copied off the chalkboard. So be aware of everything that is being discussed, and jot down all the comments, questions, and examples you encounter, which may later help you understand and process the material at its deepest level.

(III) Study Tips

1. Concentrate: When distractions strike, quickly acknowledge them and then move on to your studies.

2. Quiet Time: Make sure you have a quiet area in an appropriate environment for your learning style.

3. Flexibility: Successful students are flexible. They can adapt to changes and unforeseen events. Problems do occur. Be prepared; anticipate a slowdown so that you can navigate around it. No matter what you have planned, try to give yourself some breathing room.

4. Learning-Style: The note-taking style you choose is a personal matter. No one can tell you which one you should use. Pick one that fits your own learning-style and use it consistently.

5. Positive Attitude: As you prepare for an exam, be kind to yourself. Don’t just sit there saying you are going to fail. Establish a goal and go for it! If you want to be a successful student, you need to carry a positive attitude in your book bag.

6. Reevaluating Your Goals: Constantly reevaluate your goals. Change direction if necessary. This does not mean to bail out at the first sign of an obstacle. Be flexible and take a step toward your goal each day.

7. Learning Skills: Develop active learning skills. Use as much of your brain as possible.

8. Quality Time: Schedule quality study time - and use it. It’s okay to be flexible, but don’t neglect this step.

9. Study Partner: Find a study friend and an academic coach. Aside from your teachers, these two people will be your most important resources.

10. Recreation: Leave time for recreation. Remember to keep a balance in your life. School is your “job”, but don’t become fanatical.

Don’t Forget!!!

A Brief Introduction

Most people have had at least one uncomfortable experience resulting from forgetfulness, such as misplacing an important item, neglecting to pick up an ingredient at the store, forgetting the name of a potential

friend, or not being able to recall the answer to an exam question.

Unfortunately, books on memory improvement tend to be more expensive than they should be, boring beyond belief, and veeeeerrrrrrrry veeeerrrrrrrry long!!! For a busy college student such as yourself, they’re useless - you’d have to spend several weeks to read them, neglecting other work that you may have. On many occasions, you’re using most of your time trying to remember what errands you have to run today, tomorrow and next week, where you put your house keys, whether the Business Management class is on Tuesdays at 2.00pm or Wednesdays at 9.30am, whether your project needs to be handed in at the end of the month, and many other thoughts along the way.

You have a life, a good portion of which is spent not enjoying your days, but trying to remember the things you have forgotten. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could learn to improve your memory quickly without spending a lot of money?

Well, read on if you want to improve yourself.

(IV) Three Secrets to Improving Your Memory

Psst!!! Come here. I want to tell you something: “There is nothing secret or complicated about improving your memory”

It’s easy!!! All memory aids are based on three obvious principles:

1. Remembering less is easier than remembering more2. Concentrating on information makes it easier to remember later3. Being practical helps remembering

Putting these three steps into practice makes things even easier. Intuitively you know these things. What you don’t know is how to do them.

The Party

Hi-Bye is a tradition to show appreciation and gratitude where the freshmen witness the warm welcome from their seniors and tutors.

The Hi-Bye party is one of the major events organized by the Department of English every semester, it is a combination of greeting the freshmen and sending off graduates and this is the reason why DOE named it a “Hi-Bye” party. Besides saying “Hi” and “Bye” to the freshmen and graduates, it is also a great chance for all of the members from DOE to get in touch with each other. As usual, we held a Hi-Bye party in last semester and we invited our Head of Department Miss Wong Shir Ling, our venerable Professor Yee Tet Lim, our 82 year old grandpa, Professor Richard Lansmon Spear and last but not least our new tutor Miss Amutha Selvaraj. Our tutors also gave some words to encourage our freshmen and graduates to have a better future.

This culture of DOE has been handed down batches after batches and always with great anticipation at the beginning of every semester. All of the freshmen have to introduce themselves to everyone. Hi-Bye is a tradition to show appreciation and gratitude where the freshmen witness the warm welcome from their seniors and tutors.

Right after the introductions of freshmen, Dr. Yee and our vice-president Kee Hui King brought us an awesome singing performance of a Chinese poem. Afterward, our activity planner entertained us with a game and it was our dear Grandpa’s favourite puzzle – Sudoku!!!! The party reached its climax right after the Sudoku- it was the poignant moment of sharing. Our beloved graduates expressed their gratefulness toward our tutors and the upside was, the graduates received their farewell presents on this meaningful day. And right before we ended the Hi-Bye, all of our candidates for the next committee came forward to introduce themselves to all the members from DOE. The end came as a new departure for everyone in the new semester of 2012.

Maksud tersirat di sebalik ‘The Song of Righteousness’ (‘Lagu Kebenaran’)

95

Budaya melambangkan identiti sesebuah negara. Bahasa pula melambangkan sesuatu bangsa. Malaysia

merupakan sebuah negara yang kaya dengan amalan budayanya. Amalan budaya melambangkan sifat

majmuk masyarakat kita. Salah satu alat penghubung perpaduan kaum adalah boleh dipupuk menerusi lagu.

Keberkesanan lagu boleh diukur jika lagu yang disampaikan itu membawa mesej yang boleh mencorak dan

merubah tatacara dan perilaku sesebuah masyarakat.

Tamadun sesuatu bangsa selalunya dapat dilihat pada warisan seni budayanya. Warisan budaya ini harus

dikekalkan kerana mempunyai identiti tersendiri. Budaya tradisional mencakupi amalan dan cara hidup pelbagai

kaum di negara kita. Hal ini termasuklah bahasa, pakaian, makanan, adat resam, seni, dan sebagainya. Tetapi

kini, warisan budaya tradisional negara kita semakin lenyap ditelan arus pemodenan.

Budaya Melambangkan Identiti, Bahasa Melambangkan Bangsa

Sebagai salah seorang tenaga pengajar di Kolej Universiti Selatan saya telah diberi mandat untuk

memperterjemahkan‘The Song of Righteousness’(‘Lagu Kebenaran’) untuk diterjemahkan kepada

bahasa Melayu.‘The Song of Righteousness’yang diterjemahkan baru-baru ini kepada 3 bahasa iaitu Bahasa

Cina, Inggeris dan Melayu sesungguhnya telah memberikan impak yang mendalam kepada kita semua.Seraya

dengan itu juga,‘The Song of Righteousness’(‘Lagu Kebenaran’) yang telah diterjemahkan kepada

3 bahasa telah dinyanyikan secara beramai-ramai oleh pelajar-pelajar dan warga Kolej Universiti Selatan

bersempena dengan ‘World Environment Day’yang berlangsung di Kolej Selatan Johor Bahru baru-baru

ini. Lagu‘The Song of Righteousness’(‘Lagu Kebenaran’) ini menunjukkan keperihatinan kita semua

dalam menjaga kesejahteraan alam semesta yang hampir musnah oleh kerakusan manusia serta pentingnya

keharmonian dan perpaduan kaum dalam sanubari setiap lapisan masyarakat Malaysia. Penterjemahan lagu

ini juga secara tidak langsung dapat mempereratkan lagi talian persaudaraan sesama kaum yang telah terjalin

sekian lama dan atas dasar inilah keunikan masyarakat majmuk negara kita dapat dipertonjolkan dan dikenali

di serata dunia.

Dengan penterjemahan lagu yang berdasarkan 3 bahasa ini juga akan membolehkan orang ramai

menghayati dan menjiwai maksud yang tersirat di sebalik lagu ini dengan lebih dekat. Dengan ini, seni jiwa

bangsa dapat dihayati kerana bak kata pepatah“tak kenal maka tak cinta”. ‘The Song of Righteousness’

(‘Lagu Kebenaran’) ini memperlihatkan kemakmuran negara kita Malaysia yang kaya dengan keunikan

kemajmukan masyarakatnya yang terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum. Persefahaman kaum yang terjalin erat

96

menambahkan lagi keharmonian masyarakat kita tanpa sebarang sikap prejudis antara satu sama lain. Maksud

yang terkandung dalam lagu ini juga memperlihatkan bagaimana masyarakat Cina berpegang teguh pada adat

warisan mereka yang merupakan nadi dan tunjang belakang dalam mencorak kehidupan mereka selama ini.

Di dalam lagu ini juga memperlihatkan bagaimana dunia yang kian musnah dek kerana arus permodenan

membuatkan manusia pada zaman sekarang lupa akan norma-norma kehidupan sebenar. Budaya perlu

dikekalkan demi kesinambungan tamadun kita. Perpaduan kaum amat memainkan peranan yang penting

dalam memupuk semangat perpaduan yang mendalam kepada semua kaum di negeri ini tanpa mengira

bangsa, agama dan warna kulit. Berdasarkan senario hari ini, rakyat Malaysia haruslah bertanggungjawab

menerima segala adat resam dan budaya yang berlainan agama dengan fikiran yang terbuka. Melalui budaya

jua kita dapat mengetahui asal usul kita. Dengan ini, kita tidak akan mudah melupakan akar umbi kita dan adat

warisan kita turun-temurun. Sebaliknya, kita akan menyedari tentang kesulitan dan jerih-perih hidup nenek

moyang kita selama ini. Melalui perpaduan kaum juga dapat menjamin keamanan negara. Hal ini demikian

kerana, masyarakat yang bersatu padu dapat hidup secara aman dan harmoni dan menghormati kaum lain

sejajar dengan dasar luar yang telah dilaksanakan dan diimplementasi dengan jayanya oleh negara kita

Malaysia. Hal ini sekali gus dapat menjamin keamaan setempat.

Perpaduan Kaum Menjamin Keamanan Negara

Pengertian lagu ini juga memperlihatkan bagaimana perpaduan kaum dapat menyatupadukan anggota

masyarakat dan negara keseluruhannya melalui ideologi negara supaya setiap anggota masyarakat dapat

membentuk satu identiti dan nilai bersama serta satu perasaan kebangsaan bersama di kalangan mereka.

Perpaduan memainkan peranan yang amat penting dan bertindak sebagai agen dan alat memupuk dan

memelihara perpaduan kaum dalam mana-mana negara di alam sejagat ini. Bertitik-tolak daripada fakta

inilah agenda perencanaan dan perlaksanaan sesebuah negara wajib mempunyai komponen dan elemen

menyatupadukan rakyat khususnya bagi negara negara yang mempunyai masyarakat majmuk seperti

Malaysia. Perpaduan memainkan peranan penting dalam memacu kestabilan dan kemajuan negara. Setiap

anggota masyarakat perlu sedar bahawa aspek perpaduan kaum dan patut menjadi teras dalam diri masing-

masing, kerana kesedaran dalam diri setiap individu adalah sangat penting. Jika semua anggota masyarakat

bertanggungjawab dalam memainkan peranan masing-masing dan bekerjasama untuk mengekalkan

keamanan dan keharmonian negara, secara tidak langsung matlamat kita semua untuk hidup dalam sebuah

negara yang aman, damai dan tidak terlibat dengan sebarang pergolakan akan tercapai.

Biar Mati Anak, Jangan Mati Adat

Sebelum pena menutup bicara, marilah kita renung-renungkanlah pernyataan ini. Adakah tercapaikah

matlamat kita menjadikan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara maju yang bersatu padu berdasarkan senario

kerakusan yang dicipta oleh manusia? Terbelakah cucu-cicit kita pada masa akan datang untuk menikmati

kehidupan yang tidak mempunyai pencemaran alam sekitar atau mampukah cucu-cicit kita menikmati

perpaduan kaum tanpa sebarang persengketaan? Jawapannya ada pada diri kita semua. Perpaduan adalah

lahir daripada diri kita sendiri dan kita jugalah yang bertanggungjawab mencorakkan kehidupan kita semua.

Janganlah kita dipersalahkan oleh anak cucu kita suatu hari nanti kerana bertindak mengikut emosi, bukannya

bertindak mengikut akal dan fikiran.

Secara konklusinya, janganlah sesekali membiarkan kebudayaan kita ditelan oleh arus permodenan tanpa

sebarang usaha untuk memuliharanya, bak pepatah yang berbunyi “biar mati anak, jangan mati adat”. Oleh

itu, usaha memupuk dan memelihara budaya ini tidak seharusnya dipandang enteng. Marilah kita bersama-

sama memeliharanya supaya terus subur meredah zaman, tidak lekang dek panas, tidak lapuk dek hujan.
