they should have started this long time ago, my friend said that in her kids school the teacher was teaching the malay students in the math, sains and english exam cause they didnt know what the heck it was all about....i think at the end of the day they will ban this idea also, cause many kampung kids cant catch up and even the parents cant speak proper English. I'm so sure the Education Minister will ban this idea of course since its a bumi country and preference are for them.

There are numerous practical reasons for this;
1) In order to be able to interact and deal with important business people and ambassadors of other countries, the people (governemnt servants especially) need to speak good English.
2) Most of the better quality text books and atlases are printed in English. For the Economy to improve and stay strong, education standards must be high enough to keep up with other countries.

Using English as medium of instruction is good, people can learn more English, English is used more in the Internet, so people can get more knowledge.
