PPSMI

I read from The Star newspaper that the Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin would announce the mechanism for the changeover to the teaching of Mathematics and Science in Bahasa Malaysia. However Muhyiddin said that Mathematics and Science would continue to be taught in both English and Bahasa Malaysia until 2015 until the final batch of students had completed their secondary education.
I believe that we have to make concrete decisions whether these two subjects to be taught in English or Bahasa Malaysia. It had been drag on for too long which will affect the students performance and morale in these two subjects.
I would prefer that these two subjects to be taught in English so as to allow the students to have the elementary grasps of the English Language. The students would gradually improve the language skills as they go along studying these two subjects in English.
The English language is the international language today and it's no denying that to be proficient in English is an advantage for students. They will be marketable in the job market and offer greater opportunities in their career paths.
