The reversion of teaching Science and Maths to Malay language


To prosper in today’s increasingly global business environment, cross-cultural understanding is a comprehensive thing covers all the key components of culture and communication, including values and beliefs, social structure, perceptions of time, communication styles, proper etiquette and more. In this scenario, I not understand why Malaysia government make-up their mind to reversion of teaching Science and Maths to Malay language is indeed disturbing and not addressing the real issues of the day in our education system. This is the kind of government that most Malaysians are afraid of. Our future generations will have no future. They cannot communicate with foreigners, they have difficulties understanding what they are reading and signing.
While review the “chedet” blog today, noticed that a total of 2,150 people had voted, with a whopping 72 percent disagreeing with the government’s decision.
What is main government objective or reason they not listening to the voice of the people?
What I can feel that is Najib wants to get the Malay votes back for the next election and has sacrificed the future generation. Or he worries about person who had been educated in English become success, changed the mindset and vote for opposition parties. Today the research showed that most of Malaysian high-educated students not agreed with government decision.
Again, we need help our future generation. In my opinion, to revert the teaching of Maths and Science to Malay language is a step backward. The world is changing and fast moving. They are talking about building nuclear power, using atomic energy, reprogramming cells etc. All these research and development information are documented in English. With this nonsense decision, the Malaysian masses will continue to be blinkered, stay away from the world at large and stay marooned under the coconut shell for the lack of articulation that real engagement requires in a trading nation. So they'll continue to buy their 4D, have their teh tarik and gossip animatedly away in their respective languages, while the bigger adventure passes by.
