How in the world would anyone from a Bahasa Melayu Science background possibly understand spontaneously what "Potassium" is without stopping to think what it is in Bahasa Malayu...

I mean.. it's ridiculous!!!!!!

SERIOUS!...

Speaking through experience.. this is one word i recall vividly when i was doing my college studies after our Form 5 (high School). Like most of my peers.. we were educated using Bahasa Melayu (BM) for our science and mathematic studies since primary school. And without doubt, we got so used to it that it became a problem to us when we started adjusting to the english medium used in our tertiary education. Not that we can't adjust to it.. but it does pose a small issue to us.. not to mention the constant frsutration of having to double check our words just to make sure that it doesn't become a laughing stock of our lecturers...


Couple of years back.. science and Mathematics were finally resorted to be taught back in english. Much to my relief.. finally we can fill in the weird gap that occurs in our education system... But this was short lived.. because.....



A PERSON... Dun even wanna know who.. (embarassing la...) spoke in front of national TV... stating that we'll resort them back to BM! (ORITE!)

My point is.. we have finally been able to properly align ourselves to be on par with the international standards set by the international community for science and mathematics .. when suddenly..... this unsound solution came out. (FROM OUR EDUCATION DEPT SOME MORE!) KNNMCH... Sigh.. Another backward step... MALAYSIA BOLEH.
