To be frank, i’m totally sick of debating about this issue…. whatever it is, i don’t think the root of the issue is due to the language….maybe technically it is, yet metaphorically, it is more onto the mentality of some of the Malays who might think that when we are learning English it means we are jeopardizing the sovereignty of the Malay language n at the same time it will give a tremendous effects towards the culture n traditions of the native…but the fact is that, when the MOE ( Ministry of Education) says that they are going to apply the PPSMI system in primary schools as well as in secondary schools, it doesn’t mean we are putting aside the student’s mother-tongue…we are still giving ample room for these students to learn their native languages n at the same time they could improve their proficiency in English as well…come on Malaysian, wake up from ur dreams n please realise that in the current world of urbanization together with the advancement of technology, there are no single mega-project companies who are willing to employ those employees who doesn’t possess a good command in english….why is that so??? the anwser is simple….bcoz english is so important to the extent that without it, FTA doesn’t works, FDI doesn’t works, APEC doesn’t works n perhaps even UN will be dysfuntional…..y?? bcoz without a good communication in English, the world peace messages can’t be conveyed, international agreements can’t be ractified n many simmilar predicaments might occurs…..so just to wrap up the issue, i think we might need to have another “English- Speaking Campaign” in SDAR just like the one we had early of this year to ensure that SDARians will be more proficient in conversing,communicating and using English…come on guys beat those “green-egoistic-frogs”
