International Language - English

English is the most common language that used by the worldwide since many years ago... The other word: "you cannot 'survive' if you don't know to speak in English".

Teaching Maths and Science in English had been started since 6 years ago and it was introduced by our Ex- PM - Dr. Mahatir Mohammed. He says "If we want to gain a lot of knowledge, first of all we need to master the English language!" Since many books were written in English instead of Malay, therefore if we don't master well the English language, we are not able to understand what's the information that given by the book.

Recently, the Minister of Education want to change 'it' back into mother tounge language for primary school and Malay for secondary, ('it' refer to 'teaching maths and science') In order to improve our students' English standard, our government increase the expenditure for English language subject so that to level up the quality of English lesson since people said that proper grammer had not been taught in school. (That's totally rediculous!) Is it there is no any syllabus for English language? Since many students can master well in other languages, howcome they cannot manage well in English???

There are a lot of scientific terms in both Maths and Science subjects, if the students didn't learn it in English during their lower form, they have to suffer when they enter college or University. Many terms that need to memorize and some of them only can be found in Scientific dictionary instead of English dictionary...

I have nothing to conclude about this since the Minister of Education have already made the decision.
