The whole issue is large and if one desires to argue on the subject of learning science and maths in English or BM, we're going to need a very large board to place all our pro's and con's. This is where it kicks in, most people don't see this. I feel that most Malaysian's are born with a narrow mind. Why? Because time and time again we fail to see the larger picture. An example would be the poll on Tun Dr Mahathir's Blog, Che Det, which asked the people to vote whether they wanted the subjects to stay in English or revert to BM. Logically, only the people who have computers with internet access can vote, no? What about the people living in rumah kayu while still cooking using firewood with no fresh water supply? Do they have a say? When its their children who they work so hard for to send to school come home depressed to tell their parents they don't understand what their teacher is teaching at school? So in my opinion I declare the results of the poll, null, void, and useless.
It didn't stop at Che Det, there were other polls flying around and again I find it useless. Why do you want to do a poll in the city area where probably more than 80% of the inhabitants speak both languages? When you ask them then it most probably is an answer of convenience. Which language they use more or which language will make it easier for them in the future, they can afford the change either way. On the other hand, the kampung boy and girl continue to stone in class thanks to the goverment who was so enthralled by the idea of globilisation that they implemented a massive change without thinking long term and ended up looking sheepish. To the people who attack Malays for the change. Please hurry up and migrate to another country. Thanks.
