Aminah Hussein Similarly, Anwar (during the Mahathir administration) was the one that recommended that some Muslim words be barred from usage by non-muslims. Hence the Allah issue. Enough damage has been done here.21 hours ago · ·

Tsng Ng I came on this platform on the second day of its formation - about 800 members then and have seen it grown to 175000. I have visited this platform regularly ever since. This is platform for PPSMI and is apolitical. There are BN and PR supporters in this site. There are many more people whose support lies in the agenda, agreeing to certain BN or PR policies and reject others of the same.
I supported PR for its inclusiveness policy. However I do not think this coalition share the same ideal and definitely lack cohesiveness to rule. I have supported BN because we lack of a credible and cohesive opposition. I do not support certain party within the opposition coalition because of its narrow view and I think religion just like education ought to be disassociated with politics. I hated the the opposition for leading and heading the anti PPSMI rally, after after the issue was ignited by Khairy of BN.
However in this case BN has the mandate to govern and so the responsibility on the demise of PPSMI rest with BN. For that I hated BN. So just to teach BN a lesson I am prepare to throw my votes to the opposition, unless BN reinstate PPSMI.
FINALLY.
You and anyone please do regard my passage above as just another propaganda (MY PROPAGANDA) - with sole purpose to put pressure on the power that be to reinstate PPSMI.

- Margaret Justice those days prior to using as the National Language as the language as choice the teachers were made up of chinese and indians as well but after the national language is use then the Teachers Training College trains mostly only Malays to take over and now to revert back what about those now under employment which are 90% malay qualified ...to change back cannot be done over night and need another 5 to 10 years for a new batch ...see can it be done over night.....this is the whole problem now....the teachers are not qualified themselves in English ....7 hours ago ·

- Surain Kanaparan Let me tell you DSAI introduced "Bahasa Malaysia Baku" (remember that). It is perfectly understandable his agenda was to elevate the Malay language but remember this before he was the Min of Education, the entire syllabus & teaching was in Malay too. Maths & Science was taught in BM during my era. But due to globalization Dr.M taught it was best to teach Science & Maths in English with no disrespect to contradictory views of elevating the standards of BM. BM is a language...so is English. To elevate English, please elevate its standards !! English 1119 should be marked in Cambridge and not in Malaysia... then compare the improvements..6 hours ago · · 1
Looi Kwokwah I think we do have the numbers of teachers if all previous mission schools are converted to become SK Schools with English medium Education.
The root of the problem is, the government just dont want SK English medium school to coexist with BM SK Schools. It is a political decision. I believe the same goes for ppmsi as an option too, the government just dont have the will and courage to execute it.
Why must our children's interest be discriminated in favour of the demands of the majority?.............resulting in some of us having to spend more money for our children's education. If we want English medium education ; than our only option locally currently would be International school. Why should I pay more when I am paying income tax.

Malathi Vasudevan A good leader is someone who recognises his/her mistakes and makes amendments. Tun M was one of the great leaders. He believed a common language (BM) could contribute to nation-building but it backfired as Eng was thought to be not important in education by public. Realising this Tun M wanted to reintroduce Eng but only managed to get PPSMI. If any leader that takes the lead in this country after the election has the sense to change the education system for better should be given a chance. Almost all the leaders in the past have made mistakes (as humans all do) so, instead of reminding ourselves about the past, look forward, ask and vote for politicians who can promise you betterment.6 hours ago · · 2

- Surain Kanaparan No.. let me correct you. In the early 70's English was the medium of teaching for most subjects. There was a transition in the late 70's changing all teachings (incl. text books) to BM. DSAI was not the Min of Edu then. In his tenure, he merely wanted to take BM to the next level ... ie a lingua franca of the region + all the other reason that so be. But in the 80's our standard of English was still respectable as we had good teachers then and we were exposed to English literature and sat for the foreign 1119 /121 papers.
