Topic…..the universal technical subjects of Science and Maths currently taught in English to be reverted to BM.
A lot has been said, argued, debated, polled, petitioned recently and yet the people who we have elected, supposedly to serve, hear and understand the voters (aka the mass public) are NOT HEARING! Acting (with heavily coated false sympathy) yes but really hearing and doing something about, I can only wonder. *eyes rolled*
Since their own children themselves are NOT ATTENDING normal public schools, I can only wonder whether they really care at all? Do they really understand the consequences of their actions?
Why LOWER the urban education standard just to fit the rural areas? Logically, it should be the opposite!!! Instead we seem to be going 'backwards'. More should be done for the rural education and alleviate their standards. Wouldn’t this be more cost effective and better for the country’s economy in the long run?
Needless to say I am disappointed at the mandate decision despite strong protest from the majority of the public. Apparent freedom of speech but only defening silence is heard!! We are on 'mute' I suppose?
After more than 50 years, one would have thought that they would have got it right by now. Instead after every few years the entire system is overhauled and rebooted from scratch. I would have thought we’d be going somewhere, building from the existing blocks, learning from errors, but it looks like we are forced to accept a longer and drifting route to a place called ‘NO-WHERE’. Building and fostering a 'lost generation' are we??
The international private schools will probably benefit MOST from this.
The children of middle to lower class earners will probably stand to LOSE the most.
Our future education system looks as clear and bright as our current gloomy hazy sky. I fear for our children’s generation and future.
Pierced by selfish power-obsessed short-sighted political gains. Humanity at its rawest!
While the masses, left to suffer and co-exist with the fallen crumbs.

It's more of a failure of the Education System here in Malaysia. English and Math subjects became political scapegoats.
What the Education System should really do is look at the rural schools and fix it as isolated problems, rather than lump it together as a nation.
Although, tbh, I reckon that it's not that much of a difference between BM and English. It's the teaching of BM language itself that is flawed and very badly to boot. If the teaching of it was better, I don't think people would make so much noise.
Children may or may not struggle with language barriers. But if they learn it early enough, they can pick up conversational language. It's the tedious classical learning that is an annoying pain.
Hmm....although, if I were a parent, I would do like what my mother did when I was in Primary school. I don't know how she did it but she managed to get me Math books from US and UK schools. These were very colourful picture books that I did on my own because it was that colorful. I think I started it at 7 years old and continued to about 10 years old. Self-taught myself to read Roman numbers. :) Then again, I like math and she knew it. Haha!
big sigh too, java! u hv said it so well but sadly like u said, none could be heard :(
how i wish if we can just send our kids away from these dummies!! do u have such plan?
sigh ...
