Of Language And Weirdness

There was a time. Where the education system changed their English Language way of educating people to the standardized Malay. When was is ? During Anwar's reign. Did it work ? NO.

Educating people in Malay just doesn't help. In any institution, English is the main language. If you are not proficient in English, tell me how do we survive ? Malaysians don't realize that our community needs to be developed. The nation needs development. And tell me how do we get the development we want if we cannot speak the international language ?

We think that by bringing back Malay into the education system, all of us will be united, every race.
But i do see that nowadays, every race tends to use their own language, they don't have a standardized language.
How many subjects are there in English ? Only Maths And Science. Why are they making such a big fuss about it ?

Okay, maybe half of the subjects taken in SPM are in English. I can guarantee that these students will be thankful when they go overseas and study. Not only overseas, even locally, they use English as their medium to communicate. They should be thankful that the government changed the Malay Language of Maths and Science to English !
Why are they complaining ? Because the Exam results are not good in both of the subjects ? Who is to blame ?
The teachers or the Parents ? Think about it.

The teachers can't speak proper English. The parents meanwhile have been taking English lightly and educating their children with Malay. I didn't say it was wrong. I was brought up being taught both languages. I can speak and write both coherently.

Not to brag, but i feel that every citizen should learn the language and be good at it. For once i think the government did something right and now they are scraping it back. They feel that English is used by the British and it is a form of aother colonization by them, but then put that mindset away Malaysians ! We should progress. We are a bigger nation than anyone in SEA. We must develop ourselves, our mentality, the desire and knowledge. Come on people. Get United and be as strong as ever !
As what pepatah Melayu says, "bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh" !
