It is Pathetically, Idiotically Decision.

When the Deputy Prime Minister, and also the Education Minister had suggested that English as a must passed subject in SPM last month, I thought I will see brightness. But, after reading the yesterday's news, I see nothing, but i listen the crying of thousands, i smell sorrow and I taste bitterness.

I have cracked my brain and twisted it, and also placed myself into the cabinet's shoe, but i visualize no purpose in changing the teaching language in Maths and Science back to BM. It is definitely a pathetic and idiotic move that made by the ministry. Or there is some other thing behind it?

Ok, let us view it as a way to preserve the national language. And, of course it can be. However, is it not enough? Since we have other subjects which are still in bahasa medium, such as history, moral, geography and so forth. I'm not condemning bahasa, but the application of English in maths and science based subjects is essential. Besides, it is also a useful tool to strengthen the language foundation in the future. If preserving BM as the reason of converting the teaching language, personally , i think it is not persuading. There are so many other ways to preserve the national language but not by converting the teaching language in both Maths and Science.

I believe that there are difficulties for the students to catch up somehow, but at least we are trying to improve ourselves and stayed improve. When we on the pathway of improvement, why do we need to call for a stop? When we are building our foundation, why do we need to make it become shaggy? If someone has fallen on the path, why don't we give him a hand? If someone foundation is weak, why don't we firm it with more stones and concrete? Why do we have a good starting yet we abandon it ourselves? It is pathetically, idiotically decision...
