Malaysian Education

I see no right on your part to interfere in Malaysia internal affairs if you have nothing whatso Ever to do with the Malaysian government as you proclaimed in last week's Salient (9th July). You are nothing but a bloody stirrer.

For your information (you must have received your information through your mucous stuffed nose!) the indigenous groups in Malaysia (especially the chinesse), whether they like it or not, have to muck their education in Bahasa Malaysia in which case they will never be able to have the chance to go overseas in the ever-increasing advent of Malay domination in local universities and other tertiary education in Malaysia. As you very well know, English is the most widely used language in this world. These people will lose the ability to communicate successfully with a lot of people and countries in the world. Any information, for successful conveyance, will require interpreters who cost money, time and accuracy!

The introduction of the Malaysian M.C.E. Certificate in place of the G.C.E. (general certificate of education: Cambridge) has had the effect of lowering the standard of education in Malaysia. The English language has become only one of the language subjects and even if a Bahasa Malaysian educated indigenous Malaysian can speak English he/she won't be able to attain higher education overseas because that meagre knowledge cannot be enough to enable further education in it.

For your information, Mr Abu Sajed, the indigenous groups in Malaysia now educated wholly in Bahasa Malaysia speak in Bahasa Malaysia to friends, and write letters in Bahasa Malaysia. One immediate case to me is my young brother In the future when his Bahasa Malaysia gets too complicated I won't be able to communicate with him through letters since my own chances of getting better knowledge in Bahasa Malaysia were not fulfilled through lack of school facilities a tew years ago.

So, I suggest that if you Mr Abu Sajed, in the future, have the rotten guts to "expose" something you know nothing accurately enough about, either go and ask more malaysians about their conditions back home and judge properly instead of jabbing at inaccurate conclusions (for better information and accuracy, you should at least talk with students of all races and from all over Malaysia) or read more articles printed about Malaysian affairs (though why the hell you should I can't think why.)
