Embarrassing factual errors in history book


I WOULD like to draw the attention of the Education Ministry to the numerous factual and spelling errors (besides the now famous erroneous location of Malacca in the map on page 8) in the recently published Standard Six History textbook, a shortcoming which has unfortunately been consistently repeated since 1989.

It does appear that the ministry has not learnt from past mistakes, and that mediocrity is the order of the day.
