Salam
Everyone is very,very,very busy at the moment.Each and every person is under a tight schedule.I'm pretty sure none of us expecting this back from our internship.Furthermore the 8 months holiday really spoil us coz we have less sense or urgency and exams feel like nothing.Really hate to admit it but no sense of danger makes life very relax and enjoyable.
Anyway the title is not an insult on anyone whom Malay language is their mother tongue.We can ignore the fact that Malay language once is a Lingua Franca around 6 century ago.However as globalization take place this language begin to lost it ground as the main medium for any business.Worldwide we are speaking English as the main medium of any transaction.Somehow we don't need to worry because within these unique South East Asia region, Malay language still have a strong base to lie on.
This post will be more or less as my manifestation that I'm supporting the decision to teach math n science in English.I want to reiterate from my point of view that it is the right decision not only for education sector but also Malaysia as a whole.Impatient.That is the keyword that should be use when describing majority of Malaysian including the politician.People want an instant result.This is not an instant mee nor drive through counter.They are expecting when we invest big then the profit and benefit come right away.Perhaps the similar approach use by Real Madrid to bring back all the trophy.Except for league, they miss out on other cup.
Education is not a field where victory come instantly.There's none called the Special One.If we bring him here he can't ensure the teaching will give a direct impact.He can't make parents believe it is for their children good.Not to day but for the next 10 years.It will take the next generation of Malaysian to see the result.When the children of today were the parents.They understand the important of English and they are the one who will support and appreciate it.They'll put the emphasis to learn English to their children.
Nowadays it is all about the power to rule.Politicians less likely to bring a lot of good.They speak out loud to show that they care about their voters even though it is not for their long term good.Perhaps money speaks everything.Losing vote mean losing status and a hell lot of money.Either government or opposition, none looks like think for voters future.Each and everybody try to implementing every new thing each single day.With mission and vision to be achieve they're acting fool.They only have eye on the administration instead of fighting for voter future with less emphasis on personal agenda.
Speaking Malay never make you look like a fool.Learning in English won't turn your tongue to a Caucasian tongue.Living in this region will ensure your language proficient is always good.You can master a lot of other language and yet you speak Malay in daily life.There's no such thing as losing an identity by learning in other language.People should be more worried of the influence from mass media that influencing youngster nowadays.Parents should always worried about their children.What are they doing when out late at night.Parents should be worried on their children performance rather than giving excuses and keep on accusing the system.
~Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal~
