Science and Maths Conundrum

Malaysia Boleh! We flip and we flop at regular frequencies that non-malaysians are at their wits end trying to find out where are we heading. The latest decision on the teaching of science and maths in English back to the vernacular language is the case in point. Mind you that this latest twist is a political decision to score brownie points and not really towards the welfare of the students or a decision made to enhance the students knowledge or their capabilities. We are actually going back in time by at least 6 years because it was in Year 2003 that the decision to teach science and maths in English was made.
And before you can even digest the latest flop from the goverment, it may flip again going by the survey that Da M is doing on his blog campaigning for the reinstatement of the policy formulated by him. If you are a book publisher, you would laugh all the way to the bank.
