Our mess educational policy - teaching M&S in english

It is really a bored and stupid topic for me but it had been arguing and hoo-ha for five years long. To be frank and open with you, i still misunderstanding with the "value" of it has become a "hot topic" to be discussed. Is it economically for us to continue this bad policy? I strongly stand on my own opinion -"NO". For me, it is a "poisonous asset" that had left by our foolish former prime minister - Dr. M (I no need mention his name clearly, otherwise i will be arrested under ISA probably...haha). We have spent too much effort and time for this uneconomically policy and it must be rectified immediately. Not i disagree with M&S taught in English, but what i would like to stress here is whether our nation will advance from upper middle income to high income or developed country is not solely depend on which language has been applied in teaching, but is more than that. Healthy economy structure & policies, transparency of administration of justice and anti-corruption mechanism, high politician's aspiration, social welfare, government servant efficiency and so on are an essentials that need to consider too. Maybe there will have many peoples are preparing to oppose with what i am talking nonsense here, but those are welcome! We may can have a drink and debate on this issue. I know many peoples will take Singaporean's success story as an example on this issue on the language they base onto. I have to admit that Singaporean's English proficiency is much more better than Malaysian, but we must look in macro perspective and don't forget that the safety environment, transparency in justiciary and anti-corruption, positive working attitude and strong desire to achieve excellent (Kia-shu) also are the factors that prop up the Singaporean legend, it is a special case. How about the other Asian countries - Philipina & India where widely use English as a medium in teaching and communication? Both of this countries were also categorized as low income and low living standard country. So, it has proven that language was not the only proximate cause to determine a country achievement and it is no any direct correlation between this two variables. It is OK if you give the sake that it is aimed to improve students English proficiency. We must back to the root of the problems. We knew that most of the Malaysians English level whether in speaking, writing and understanding skills alike are in "private limited company" standard (include myself). So, why not we just extend the duration of English language subject in school, introduce the English Literature subject in the early age of school , widen the scope of subjects to be taught in English and put more efforts on how to promote and make English usage practically & effectively? Do you think that the idea to make M&S to be taught in English will improve student's English grammar command? Sorry, i not think so! The crux of the problems here is some of the racialist play a political game on this issue to obtain their self-interest and it is a sorrow for Malaysian actually. It is unjust and unfair for us to bear the social cost due to an inappropriate policies by racialist policymaker-Dr. M. But fortunately, two weeks ago, our educational minister-Muhyiddin Yassin had announced to reform and reevaluate the overall teaching Mathematics and Sciences in English language effectiveness. Well, it is really a bold move for Malaysian politician, i think we should praise him loudly of his courage to abolish Dr. M's policies (In fact, Dr. M until now still deems with what he has done was benefit to our next generation) and many organization has welcome to this good move. But i personally feel that our regardful BN minister still chaos on their standpoint on this issue. It is because i can't see the blueprint of the suggestion- primary school - M&S to be taught in Bahasa Malaysia, secondary school - re-change to Bahasa Inggeris again. I am really confusing with our minister, i think it is more proper to call them as innovationist. If they really feel English is important, (indeed, it is very important) so, go ahead la and please be more enchantment to ensure the policy to be implemented effectively and has started from primary school to university level, and cover all subjects and not merely M&S. It is quiet ridiculous if the policy change and change again and give the reason that they are worry about their mother language will varnish from this world. We will always at spiral and seem like an experimental rat. Otherwise, it will encumber our nation productivity and contract our economic competitiveness. Remember, the education is the basic of quality and productive human resourse and to long term economy growth .

I feel that our government too rush to run this policy without a proper evaluation mechanism and Dr. M must responsible on the social cost which arised.
