Teaching of Math and Science only in BM.

Some questions:

What is the best interest of the students? To be able to speak to the 270 million Indonesians? To remain under the coconut shell? To remain subservient to the Barang Naik govt?

Name the groups that the study and consultations were made with? Is it Perkasa?

Is this another scheme in the DIVIDE and CONQUER strategy by the powers that be?

Why not get the students to vote and each school pass the results to MooHidden? Of course, the result must be openly announced during the assembly of each school so that there's no phantom votes in favour of MooHidden. Simple only!!!

Anyway, if implemented, the International Schools are going to have a ball and more such schools will be mushrooming.

So, what's the bottomline for the man on the street? I foresee prices going up as those business people will want greater profits so that their children can go to the International School.

If there's a God, may God bless Malaysia. Better still, may He come down and rule for the betterment of Mankind. Aiyooo....

PPSMI scrapped only after study

KOTA KINABALU: The decision to revert the teaching of Science and Mathematics in Bahasa Malaysia was made in the best interest of the 5.3 million students, reiterated Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

“This decision was not done in haste. It was done after careful study and consultations with various groups,” the Deputy Prime Minister said after launching Parti Bersatu Sabah congress here yesterday.

He added that parents who objected to the decision to abolish the Learning of Science and Mathematics in English (PPSMI) programme were entitled to their opinions.

Muhyiddin said this when asked about a move by the Parent Action Group for Education to submit a letter to the Prime Minister today, urging the Government to review its decision to scrap the PPSMI.

He said that even with the decision to scrap the PPSMI, ensuring that Malaysian students learn English was still a priority through the new policy of Upholding Bahasa Malaysia and Strengthening the English Language (MBM-MBI) to be implemented from next year.

Separately, Muhyiddin said the Education Ministry had decided to empower education department directors in Sabah and Sarawak to approve certain projects to ensure their quick implementation.

For a start, he said the ministry would empower directors to approve small-scale contracts costing up to a maximum of RM5mil.
