PPSMI: Muhyiddin says too late, final, NO RUNDING!

The Msian Education Minister's arrogant and sarcastic remarks referring to NGOs and the opposition is unbecoming of a DPM, and well, education will be going backwards again.

Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today said that the decision to discontinue the teaching of mathematics and science in English (PPSMI) policy is final.



So calls for the programme to be retained is two years too late, said Muhyiddin, who is also deputy prime minister.

"In 2009, (when the abolition of PPSMI was announced) there was no negative reaction. The majority accepted it well.

"I presented it in the cabinet, everyone agreed, I brought it to Parliament, everyone including the opposition at that time, agreed.

“But now because there are some groups opposed to it, they (the opposition) want to jump on the bandwagon."

Muhyiddin was responding to calls by non-governmental organisation Parent Action Group for Education (Page) to allow certain schools the option to continue with PPSMI.

"Maybe it’s like what (former prime minister) Dr Mahathir (Mohamad) said, that Malaysians forget easily. It was not raised then and a new policy has been implemented two years ago.

"Page doesn't know what is going on, maybe they are ketinggalan zaman (behind the times)," he said after attending an English language training project ceremony for teachers in Kuala Lumpur this morning.

    Muhyddin perlulah mempertimbangkan perkara ini dengan baik dan pastikan keputusan yang dibuat adalah untuk kebaikan semua pelajar.

    Sekurang-kurangnya Sabah dibenarkan menggunakan sistem pendidikan yang dianggap sesuai untuk pelajar kita.

    all the subjects should stick to bahasa melayu and have another class specific english literature... if all the subjects in english then might as well change the country into a western mini America or Little Britain

    what is point of preserving our tradition and culture if everything is gonna be in English... might as well we introduce more night clubs and discos

    My Indonesian friends told me Bahasa Melayu is a ROJAK language.

    No wonder most of the umno puppets are Jaguh kampung.

    Lee Chong Wei and Nicol David all are World Champion with English education.

    Where are those Bahasa Melayu puppets become World Champion? Jaguh kampung adalah!

    look at other countries France, Korea most of their education system are in their own languages!!! we must be proud and respect our national langauge otherwise our tradition and cultures will perish....

    public schools should stick to bahasa melayu system whereas private school can follow either the British system

    To say that Japan, France etc use only their language for all subjects and they're doing will in Sci and Tech. is utterly wrong. Those are developed countries, are we a developed country? In fact we'll be lucky to be a developed nation both politically and economically by 2020. Those countries already have a long history and knowledge of Sci and Tech and they have the world class scientists and researchers. Do we have them? If not, then before we can become like them, we need to use English to import all those knowledge and to be able to compete.

    Why would just using 2 subjects in B.I. and the rest all in B.M. plus passing the national language at SPM is compulsory be a threat the status of B.I. as the national language? It just doesn't make sense.

    Correction, I meant B.M. as the national language.
