Malaysian Government should not insists on using Bahasa for Math and Science..


This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See example below:-

Hardware = barangkeras

Software = baranglembut

Joystick = batang gembira

Plug and Play = cucuk dan main

Port = lubang

Server = pelayan

Client = pelanggan



Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:

That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.



Now in BAHASA:

Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.


Now you know...WHY...?

With respect, our government want to achieve something like the japan, German or the French does,be proud of own language. But the true fact is, the education level from the beginning of primary to the secondary in our country is far behind compare with other countries. For instants during the primary and secondary school days everything is in Malay then to the higher learning intuition everything is in English. The students which doesn't have a strong foundation with their language is rather hard and need some time to adjust themselves with it.
And look at the current society, what language is widely spoken ? Even the chinese and indians is speaking english than their mother tongue. What is the purpose of wasting time learning something we hardly use. Thats y local talents rather shine somewhere overseas than being contain in own ground !!!!!!

it's ok lar, just put in more effort and you can cope with it. I was from the BM era too, it all depends on your commitment towards your study.
