(Free Malaysia Today) - The Cabinet of Barisan Nasional is agreeing to revamp Biro Tata Negara programmes  in the face of mounting criticisms by Pakatan Rakyat states which barred its employees from attending the so-called civic courses.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Abdul Aziz told reporters in Parliament that the Cabinet decided to revamp the co-curriculum of the BTN courses to be in tune with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s 1Malaysia concept.

He said the decision was made to have an ‘inclusive’ course and not a divisive one.

“So I agree this (the BTN courses) should be revamped so the co-curriculum could be in line with the 1Malaysia concept because we have spent so much money (to bear the costs),” he said.

We don't need more lecturers teaching racism. The ministers are doing a great job as it is.

BTN should not have existed from the beginning. It was put in place by UMNO to stir hatred against non Malays. This is unacceptable. if UMNO wishes to create peace and harmony among the races of this country, UMNO must make an open apology to the rakyat. Obviously is is not their true intention.

Revamp or no revamp of BTN makes no difference. It's too little too late. Too much damage had already been done to the psyche of many young Malaysians. The Selangor government had done it right by introducing her own courses for civil servants and places of higher learning to replace those from BTN. There should be no turning back on the action.

Selangor had set a pragmatic example. All PR states should promptly follow and enforce the ban on BTN to make it even more effective. UMNO's BTN will then realise there is an existence of a better alternative source of training for young Malaysians and will really be compelled to compromise or discontinue with their covert racist indoctrination programs.

Ah! so Najib's people have responded to BTN thanks to issues highlighted by RPK and MT.

But with Bala's latest revelation: pin-drop silence.

In tune with the PM's 1Malaysia...what if there's no 1Malaysia sloganeering...will there be a change in the co-curriculum....???

I say, put the whole lot who came up with this under ISA for inciting hatred and racism in this country. We've had enough of all this bullshits in our beloved country of ours to take any more of this nonsense!!!

The first one who should go will be the Moo..he..din fella, for still insisting that it is not flawed. What a far*#@g liar!!!

Aiyo, ini macam banyak peninglah pak menteri. Sekejap pak & mak menteri cakap tidak ada kecacatan dengan BTN, lah ini pak menteri cakap BTN kena 'makeup'.

Nazri, you can talk of whatever revamping you want but with the same racist mono race staff around, you can go on revamping till the cows come home and the effect will still be the same.

What use is it of talking of changing "shirt" when it is still the same ugly person who is wearing it ?..

Three Senior Ministers led by the DPM Muhyudin, Sharizkat and Nor the Agriculture Minister supported the BTN without checking the fact. On top of it to rub salt, the Home Minister laugh it off. Now who is the fool? Najib should now know what a pack of fools he is having in his cabinet. High time he tells his Ministers to attend the BTN with the new concept of 1Malaysia.

Before revamping anything,wouldn't being honourable to address the issue and explain what revealed which was most distressing to non-malays and to malays alike be done first..?!

No 1 race,no 1 religion,no 1 language,no 1 culture/tradition,no 1 country,no 1 government will ever progress or can even say they progressed entirely their own..

If anything,instead of wasting precious money and time to educate the simple layman who isn't the initiator to the conflicts of racisim,why not educate the perpertrators and end their negativetiness derived from sheer evil and arrogance..!!

Revamped???

This anti-national and Nazi-inspired racist propaganda BTN should be wrapped up together with Mahathir and sent to meet Hitler in one package.

The people have already bitterly tasted the way they revamped ACA into the criminal and homicidal MACC. That supposed 'good' intention of lessening corruption resulted in the MACC closing two eyes in favour of UMNO/BN's multiple multi-billion plunders and still counting, and at the same time, turned MACC into a vicious political weapon that kills and maims opposition witnesses.

Now, why on earth must a destructive, divisive and racist propaganda unit which shouldn't have been there to begin with, be overhauled?? Any sensible person would call for it to be shut down.

Suggesting an revamp of this Hitler-inspired propaganda machine smacks of insincerity; it is just an attempt to quieten things down. These traitors are now taking a step back only to cunningly advance again later. Judging by their records, they don't care about the destruction of the country for their trappings and hold on power.

Whatever the case, Pakatan States have to stay with their ban on this BTN and proceed with their planned road-shows against it in January. We have to keep up with the offensive to weaken Malaysia's #1 enemy. It would be wiser to take the battles into Umno's territory with popular support; to disrupt and minimize their conspired attacks on the Pakatan states and respected leaders like Tok Guru Nik Aziz.

Najib is using the Opposition protest to improve his cabinet. The question is this
1. Will Najib be able to clean up fast enough, before the opposition or rather MT brings up the next issue
2. Is Opposition more effective in leading the country thru the back door of critism and vise versa, the BN would not be able to do such a job without being unbias
3. RPK seems to have mounted an attck with very positive trend of expectation. Is MT the Opposition front or is Anwar the leader
4. We know that BN does not have a clue of what they are doing except to continue doing the wrong things in their beureau. They were not the leader when it came to political blogging, they were not the leader when it came to change in political approach, they were also not the leader in choosing a suitable candidate for by election! That tells us that agin they are waiting for PR to show them the way. If left alone, BN will lead all of us and the country down the hell hole. And I am very sure when that happens, Hisham will come out and say that it is the citizen fault for their failure. This is how a looser operates.

Shameful that UMNO can now say this after all has been exposed, UMNO is the culprit and if they wwanted they could have easily briought those who did this to task, but since they were the conspirators who else to stop them?
Embarassed with BN component parties who sat like the fools they are to be quiet and watch while racism is in their own departments!!! they dont care and so do we,,,watch neat elections BN,,,u will lose heavily

Why can't the government just hear out whatever criticsm or comments some body or party has over their policies, make a detailed study of it and then come out with a solution. Rather then shooting back immediately to defend something as undefensible as BTN. I have three children who had attended this course, and all of them say its racist, anti unity and hurts the feeling of the non-malays. And now we have the cabinet saying they will revamp the syallbus, after all the huha. What sort of irresponsible and arrogant government we have?

So, now you are admitting to the fact that BTN is flawed. First, apologise to the nation for your past wrongdoings in using the BTN for your own political gains. Then abolish it completely for you cannot be trusted at all to do an honest job. Your revamps are nothing more that a mere eye-wash.
