How is the country’s future generation going to perform in the near future internationally? Will they be able to debate in the international arena? Will they be able to send message clearly to the world? Will they be able to do business or work in the open and borderless world?

Or, they will continue to need some form of assistant or ‘tongkat’ to survive in the open and borderless world… maybe a booster such as speech pill when they are representing our country in the international arena in the future?

There are so many WHYs… it’s like a total black hole to us and the future generation…

After 6 years and spending RM4.6 billion, the government suddenly abolished the policy introduced in 2003 whereby Mathematics and Science were taught in English instead of in mother tongues at vernacular schools and Bahasa Malaysia at government schools.

The way I look at it, the government reversed the decision just because of pressure from certain groups… which are mainly trying to defend their mother tongues.

But why do they need to defend their mother tongues?… Is it vanishing from the surface of the earth?… I think they have no clear vision… no future… just like what the former Prime Minister said in his CEDET blog.

Mathematic and Science should be thought in English so that when the kids further their studies overseas, they don’t have to struggle to translate all the craps they learn in school.

The technology of the world is advancing so rapidly and most of it are directly related to mathematic and science… there is no time to do translation.

If you really want to defend your mother tongues… there are many subjects you can use like Bahasa Malaysia, History, Geography, Morals etc… but please not the Mathematic and Science!!!
