I SEE my Form Four daughter spending hours trying to memorise the nilai murni (moral values) for the subject Moral. She says there are 36 moral values which have to be learnt by rote.

Every single word has to be learnt word for word as the teacher would frequently test them orally to see if they are able to regurgitate what they have memorised.
