Muhyiddin's Objectives of Learning History?

I have always wondered why we had to learn history. After many years of falling down and climbing back up again, it has become obvious that we are meant to learn from history and our past mistakes. After all, Einstein said:

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Nonetheless, the purpose of learning history in Malaysia is very different, according to our Minister of Education:

In a statement, the ministry said the committee was set up to help look into the content of secondary school's History curriculum and textbooks to ensure they were able to nurture patriotism and loyalty to the country among students and strengthen their identity as Malaysians.

Yes, you read it right. The content of secondary school's History curriculum must be able to nurture patriotism and loyalty. What an euphemism for "propaganda". There is no emphasis on the truth or learning from mistakes. The emphasis is on nurturing patriotism and loyalty. More reasons for the brain drain?
