I support PPSMI.Obama should not be the President Of America if he only learn his native African Language.I personally do not agree with the government decision. Teaching in English will help to improve the student's proficiency in English language. Learning languages, not only English but any languages needs time, therefore, it should be taught since young. It should be implemented for years to really see the overall result, as in how the English proficiency has improved among the students. I think the government has failed due to their ill planned strategy. If a better strategy is planned, I think it will be a success. <strong>[Cyril] <em>I agree with what you say!

Its a lot of effort, but why move backward instead of forward. We can allow students to use either English or BM to answer in the exams as long as the maths and science principles are correct. Some good will surely come out of the dialectics at work between both languages instead of choosing either one. We need new advancements. We need Malaysia Boleh. Not some power struggle between languages. When will Malaysia advance and not hold on to race and language as stumbling blocks but embrace our differences as advantages? <strong>[Cyril] <em>Nicely said bro!</strong></em> My daughter is less than 2 years old and she can understand both English and Japanese, and later will introduce Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Lots of improvements and transformations have been made. Yes maybe my english is still not at the best height, but then, i managed to use it in my daily life. Government has finished million Ringgits once for this programme and now, wanna stop it just like that. Gosh! It is really out of my mind.

I’m sorry to say this new move will more or less signal the ‘goodbye’ for BM. Although BM would always remain important to communicate among Malaysians, but I have to agree that shall English become a must pass in SPM, BM would loose huge ground. Even worst than it is currently experiencing under the PPSMI (Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English) project.  I had my say on PPSMI here.
