Movement to oppose PPSMI
I have always held right from the start that the excuse given by the Government saying that one’s command of English will be improved by teaching Science and Mathematics in that language is nothing more than bish-bosh and bullcrap. I was educated in the national system where Bahasa Melayu was used as the medium of instruction for Science and Mathematics, do you see my English being seriously affected or marred in any way? On the contrary, I read a lot of English books during my formative years at school and this “habit” continues until today. I attribute to this as a major reason why I have a very strong command of English. Certainly, this is one of the more viable ways for one to improve his/her standard of English, and not by shoving Science and Mathematical terms in English into one’s throat.
