English or Bahasa Malaysia or English

Aiyah! Don't they yet know it is not the language? It's the teachers that needs fixing, not changing the medium of language the subject is being taught.

How are our children supposed to get used to any language if they keep changing their minds because something is not working out? Don't change the system, better it. Find out the root problem and deal with it.

How can they compare us to Japan or Korea? The population in both of these countries comprise of one race. We are of mix races and languages. Ah Tan speaks Mandarin at home, Mahmud speaks Malay, Doud speaks Kadazan, Margaret speaks English, Nooi speaks Cantonese, Raja speaks Tamil and the list goes on.

My children can be taught in Bahasa, Mandarin or English. At the end of the day, they have to take their exams in English to receive their diploma or degree.
