HOLISTIC LEARNING: DPM's call for spiritual education laudable

Basically, education taught at large is secular in nature. Spiritual education is always not given prominence.

I believe Malaysia is one of the few countries where Moral Education and Islamic Education are taught in schools.

Schools are the source of knowledge, including spirituality. This vital knowledge should be imparted to all children. Ignoring values, ethics and spirituality in education is not acceptable, as pointed out by Muhyiddin.

Education without the spiritual elements is not wholesome.

In fact, spiritual elements are the basics of a human being. Spirituality differentiates the human beings and other creations of the Almighty.

Children can attain perfection through spiritual qualities.

Spirituality teaches us unity, union and harmony among men, respect among elders as well as tolerance and brotherhood.

If these values are embedded in the young minds of children, we would have a peaceful and beautiful world.

Every child is potentially the light and darkness of the world, therefore education has to be accounted as of primary importance.

Red tape in outer space? More regulations could be on way

Posted on by

WASHINGTON It's a story almost as old as humanity: Braving unknown dangers, a team of explorers settles a wild frontier, and then almost as quickly bureaucrats tie it up with red tape.

This time, the frontier is outer space. And the regulators are from the Federal Aviation Administration, which licenses commercial-rocket launches in addition to monitoring the airlines.

The FAA has so far been constrained by one major loophole: Once a spacecraft reaches orbit, it's largely free of regulation a libertarian's final refuge.

But that could change soon.

This week, at a congressional hearing and an industry conference in Washington, FAA officials and space attorneys began seriously discussing rules of the road for outer space, from mining rights to safety practices.

Although there have been some broad guidelines the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, for example, prohibits nations from claiming the moon specific space regulations have been few and far between. In part that's because few countries let alone private companies have had the ability to blast people or products into orbit.

But the commercial space industry, once a pipe dream for "Star Trek" fans, has burgeoned in recent years.

In 2012, the California company SpaceX became the first commercial-rocket company to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. And space tourism companies, such as Virgin Galactic and XCOR Aerospace, are preparing to fly passengers to suborbital space as soon as this year.

Those efforts have led Congress, the administration and industry to begin talking about how to ensure that people and property stay safe in microgravity.

These proposals run the gamut, from figuring out how to restrict the amount of dangerous "space junk" shed by spacecraft to finding a way to coordinate traffic in Earth's orbit.
