Some people just LOVE redundant craps

You know, if you had been reading the newspapers these few days, you'd notice what's been going on in Malaysia. Not race issue... nope, not religion issue too. It's the thing about Math and Science being taught in English.

Anyway, I think it is beyond SENSELESS that people actually went on STRIKE out in the open just because they bloody think Math and Science should be taught in B.M. The reason being that our national language is facing threats from goodness-knows-what. 

I'm sorry but don't you think it's a bit dense to disagree with using English to teach those subjects? Especially when the country's already doing it for six years? It's not some overnight thing if you get me. How do you expect to see results in such a short time? Think, people, think, why the education system changed in the first place, implementing English in Math and Science.

Grab any young teen on the road and ask them, ask them if they would prefer B.M. or English for Math and Science. Any one of them who is clairvoyant would know how important it is to use English as the medium to study the subjects. It's for the sake of tertiary education! How many universities in this world use B.M. to conduct courses? How many use English? Which is the INTERNATIONAL language? Are you trying to make students' lives difficult by being idealistic and not practical?

Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said it well when he said that English must be used to keep our young people competitive. And gosh... it's completely embarrassing that we actually had a strike about this issue. I respect B.M. as our national language but seriously, it's retarded to say that by teaching Math and Science in English, English will eventually take the place of B.M. in the country. 

Don't our Constitution say that B.M. is heralded as Malaysia's national language? If B.M. were to ever be replaced, we still need a referendum. And since it IS our national language, it IS already a compulsory to study B.M. So tell me, how is it possible for Malaysians not to know B.M.? Sure, we speak not-so-perfect B.M. But hey, even Westerners don't speak perfect English too. 

Stop making Malaysia a laughing stock in the eyes of the world. It's embarrassing. Really.
