Just read through Tun Dr Mahathir's blog regarding his stand n view on the PPSMI. Can say that i was quite impressed by what written there and really hav to agree with him, however i hav a question to ask him, why don't he think so when he was the education minister back in the 80's? why don't he hav this kind of idea and thought back in the 80's when he decided to change everything into BM in the first place? Isn't it already too late for him to start talking all this as he's the one that started everything in the first place? I'm one of his product fr his 80's admistration by learning everything in BM back in school. See what i'v becoming of... English? nah...able to speak but lots of grammatical errors, need to hold tight to a dictionary for all time vocab when trying to read through Twilight and so on... (most of the time give up b4 finishing half the book); BM? wow....unable to follow...keep on changing the tatabahasa fr time to time...use in broken style or the so-called bahasa pasar when going to post office, JPJ or with my indonesian plumber... sometimes i wonder if they can understand me... sigh....
So as u can see, i'm neither good in English nor BM thx to our 1980's education policy which was extended to the end of 1990's until it was replaced by PPSMI. Still the same question, Tun M, why don't u think like what u r thinking right now as what u've written in ur blog back in those day and hav we the 1980's generation to be sacrificed?
A time for thanksgiving for 2018
