I feel ashamed with certain parties that politicize the languages problem. Learning Science and Maths in English is a positive moves. I learnt all the Science and Maths in BM, thus I had problems in understanding them when I entered university. What is the purpose of education then when there are a lot of different meanings when English is translated into BM? When the Gov started to implement that, it's a bilingual where students can answer them in two languages.
Isn't that in Form 5, they have more than 10 subjects. If there is an English course, what other subjects that use English? NONE if everything is BM. Even when we go out to work, accounts will always be in English. The terms and everything. Who would use BM to do accounts? I am pity with certain parties that use this opportunity to squash the government. Learning Science and Mathematics in English will not deteriorate the BM level. Instead, all teachers must use this as a platform to learn. Didn't the teachers know that learning never ends, thus, English in Science & Maths is important. The teachers told the students "Learning never ends" but do they understand that themselves? I believe not all teaches are like that. So, if those teachers in rural area do have problems in teaching subjects in English, why can't they upgrade themselves then? Is that hard? Who knows how to run when they are just born?
These kind of people bring shame to the education for not understanding the global needs. To understand science, one must learn English and not look at the past of how great the civilization was. Instead, learn from the past, to better the present. And not take advantage to gain political fame. BM will always remain our National language. Learning Science & Maths in English is not an insult to the BM language, because, there are many literature written in English. In University level, you need to write the Journals or Conference paper in English. Would we write "tetikus" in the conference? Just take a look at the Mathematics. If you translate certain words to BM, it sounds funny. If these students are sent to the foreign universities, will they excel? Look at the quality in public universities. When will Malaysia going to have that kind of standard? I despise those political parties that politicise languages for their own fame. If I send them to overseas, can they speak in English fluently? I may not be the best, but I learn till I die.
