Education System

Our Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir had suggested that Mathematics and Science be taught in English language in all levels. So, is this a good measure?

Frankly speaking, you should consult those experienced it before like my batch. My batch, who was bornt in 1990. We were the first batch in Malaysia that experienced Mathematics and Science taught in English in secondary level. 

I agree and support it if it is taught in secondary level instead of primary level. This is because children have to be taught in their native language. It can be changed to English in secondary level because like me, I started to learn English in secondary level and my English is improved since then.

If the Mathematics and Science were not taught in English, I believe that my English wouldn't be this level. Hence, start it in secondary level. If it is implemented in primary level, I'm worried that kids will skip class or abandon these subjects, most probably they are difficult to understand. 

Tun Mahathir said that we should be in line with the world and hence English is a must, so he suggested to start in these two subjects first. In my opinion, I don't mind if it starts in secondary level. However, many cabinet candidates protest. If English is the only subject to learn this language, how can we pursue our study overseas later? How can we compete with the world later?

Think properly, don't waste our time. Keep on changing the education system bears no benefits to our children.
