English to BM: Are we on the right track?

by Syed Zahar

Finally, a decision has been made by the Education Ministry to have PPSMI (teaching of science and maths in English) replaced with MBMMBI (teaching of science and mathematics in Bahasa Malaysia) and this is encouraging news especially to those who were against PPSMI from the start.

The Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English [Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik (PPSMI)] is an education policy which determined English as the medium Science and Mathematics would be taught in all level of learning. It became a widely debated issue since it was implemented by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s administration in 2003. The most renown activism against this policy was by Gerakan Mansuhkan PPSMI [Movement for the Abolishment of PPSMI (GMP)] headed by national laureate Datuk A Samad Said and former Director of Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka Datuk Dr Hassan Ahmad. More than 8,000 took part in the demonstration against PPSMI by marching to Istana Negara.

The rationale for switching to English in the first place was based on the government’s aim to develop the country's human resources to reach the same level of those in developed nations as well as preparing students to compete in the era of globalisation. During the proposition of this policy in 2003, Mahathir said he felt that Malaysia was lagging behind in the course of globalisation and hoped this policy will enable students to be more competitive. He took Singapore and India as examples of nations that are advancing at a greater pace as a result of their high proficiency in the English Language.

The pressure from numerous academicians, laureates, politicians, teachers and students themselves led the education ministry to decide on replacing PPSMI with Memartabatkan Bahasa Melayu dan Mengukuhkan Bahasa Inggeris [upholding of Bahasa Melayu and strengthening of the English proficiency (MBMMBI)]. The implementation of the MBMMBI syllabus was said to facilitate the country in promoting our national language. Conversely, using English to teach science and math will erode the importance of Bahasa Melayu in these two fields.

Though there are compelling points in the arguments from both sides of the spectrum, I think the resolution to implement MBMMBI in our schools is a sensible one. For one, almost all the researches and studies on PPSMI that costs millions revealed the unconstructiveness of this syllabus especially to pupils in the rural areas that happen to make the mass of students in this country. Apart from PPSMI favouring those in high-income families in the urban areas, studies also revealed that majority of students learn faster when they are taught in their native tongue.

The best argument from the pro PPSMI faction is that we’ll get the short hand of the deal by not having the Maths and Science taught in English as we don’t have enough academicians who can translate documentations (mostly written in English) of new studies and discoveries in these two perpetually evolving fields. As a result of, we would lag behind in the advancements in maths and science. It’s quite a revelation to know that there’s insufficient number of scholars who are proficient in English, Bahasa and Maths or Science who could take to this task.

One solution to this potential problem is to produce more superior scholars and intellectuals. The government should seriously consider providing grants for graduates who intend to further their studies in masters and doctorate level and beyond. If a countryman wish to be a student for the rest of his life then let it be. It will only benefit the country. On top of that, we should also learn how non-English speaking nations like Korea, Japan, China and those in Europe have made their exemplary advancements in these related fields despite not having them taught in English.

The Importance of Linguistic Skills

It’s crucial to realise that modernisation and globalisation is not equivalent to westernisation. On that note, it’s time to lose the notion that a person who is learning or are able to speak English, French, Flemish, German or Norwegian is going or wants to be westernised.

Having the skill in conversing in another language is definitely an advantage. Given a choice, I would rather have intermediate level proficiency in three languages instead of advanced level proficiency in a single language. My partiality is simply for the reason that the former would enable me to experience and have insights to other cultures, ideas and ways of thinking. Variety is indeed and has always been the essence of life. On that note, I feel it would be worthwhile for schools to bolster their linguistic (Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin, Tamil etc.) syllabuses or, even better, have more schools implement foreign language classes like Sultan Alam Shah School has done for the last 30 years or so.

Additionally, it won’t hurt to encourage Malay/Muslim students to take advantage of their ability to read and write in Arabic by learning to speak and understand this language. Seeing as most already know how to read and write in Arabic - half the battle is won - and this makes it easier to grasp the speaking and comprehending part especially at a young age. Not only would mastering Arabic help our kids understand the quran and any other Islamic and Arabic literature better, it would also be a great asset in the future as it gives these students an edge over the others in terms of greater international career opportunities. Now that’s what I call moving with the globalisation trend.

Whatever our reasons are for favouring one curriculum over another, our grounds must be for the best interest of our youths and not those of politicians, laureates, academicians, parents or backward anglophiles who preposterously holds high reverence to our colonial past. Perhaps it’s best to leave it to the kids to decide what’s good for them. After all, they are the ones doing all the learning.

Is Ku Li the Right Guy for the Task?

by Syed Zahar

There’s a lot of concern over the current state of affairs surrounding Kelantan’s oil royalty issue and there’s more sizzle to the mix recently when Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah was appointed by PKR to head a caucus to resolve the dispute. Is he the best person for this undertaking?

Former finance minister and BN MP for Gua Musang Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah
The former finance minister and BN MP for Gua Musang was selected for the task after a short discussion with Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, PAS vice president Salahuddin Ayub, PKR strategic director Tian Chua and election director Saifuddin Nasution on the issue at the MPs’ lounge. Ever since this meeting Ku Li seems to come across as a sympathiser to the Opposition or, more so, perhaps, his home state. The statements he’s been openly giving in the press and his website itself shows his inclination towards Kelantan as well as the rest of the country’s oil-producing states (Terengganu, Sarawak and Sabah) having rights to oil royalty.Ku Li’s standpoint is clearly opposed by UMNO, namely that of Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, who had insisted that Kelantan had no right to ask for oil royalty. Nazri's argument was that no petroleum was produced in the state’s waters within three nautical miles of the coastal line. On that note, there was even talk of a proposed oil and gas pipeline to land in Songkhla in Southern Thailand instead of Bachok, Kelantan in the making which would further bypass the state in developing its petroleum industry .Ku Li countered Nazri’s argument by stating that oil royalty is a constitutional right of the people, regardless of whether is it found on shore or off shore. He believes the agreement that was signed between the states and Petronas assures that the states where oil is found, whether on shore or off shore, will benefit from such a find.What augmented UMNO’s aggravation further was Ku Li's acknowledgement of the Opposition in rebuking the Federal Government labelling the oil payout to Kelantan as wang ehsan (goodwill payment) saying that there’s no such thing as ‘goodwill payment’ because “oil is the right of the people and it’s not for the Federal Government to distribute as a largess.” This means more is at stake here as the BN government may lose more of their oil earnings than expected if they were to lose in this dispute.It’s hard to doubt the man who drafted the Petroleum Development Act 1974 himself when he was Finance Minister and Petronas chairman back then. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin has expressed his concern over Ku Li being the person chosen to head the caucus forewarning the latter with verging cautionary statements in the press. Of course, the government would be a little jittery seeing Ku Li appearing chummy with PKR leaders. This is a senior politician and former cabinet member with high post who’s kept a very low profile since his Semangat 46 stint (or should I say stunt) back in 80s.As far as the Opposition is concerned, Ku Li is definitely the perfect guy for this job. But will this new-found attention and authority have a bearing on the repositioning of Ku Li’s political career? Will he be the righteous mediator who creates the middle path between the government and Opposition or is he more likely to make a pact with PKR and be their most valuable instrument within UMNO/BN? It all depends on the turn of events in the following meetings involving leaders of the government and Opposition (PAS vice president and chairman of the State Committee on Petroleum Datuk Husam Musa has officially requested a meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on the demand of Kelantan’s oil royalty). In the meantime, as far as UMNO is concerned, all eyes and ears are on Ku Li.- malaysiainsider

gerakan JUSTICE FOR ANWAR oleh AMK

Angkatan Muda Keadilan ( AMK ) Malaysia akn mengadakan GERAKAN KEADILAN UNTUK ANWAR ( JUSTICE FOR ANWAR ) bermula 11 Disember 2009 sehingga 24 Januari 2010 di seluruh negara bagi menjelaskan isu-isu berkaitan 'konspirasi jahat terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim' ( KEJAM ) melibatkan isu fitnah liwat yang bakal dibicarakan bermula 25 Januari - 25 Februari 2010 .

AMK akan menjalankan pelbagai aktiviti seperti ceramah , edaran risalah , forum dan diskusi serta demonstrasi bagi menjana mobilisasi dan kesedaran rakyat terhadap kes yang ternyata fitnah bagi tujuan menjatuh dan mengaibkan Ketua Umum Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim .

Doktor dan Pakar Perubatan telah mengesahkan Saifool masih "DARA" ! Tiada sebarang tusukan atau koyakkan pada lubang bontot Saifool . Bermakna TIADA LIWAT ! Keputusan mahkamah untuk meneruskan kes dan menafikan afidavit serta rekod perubatan dari Pusrawi dan HKL membuktikan pakatan jahat terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim . Ini merupakan rekod yang pertama dalam dunia - TIADA LIWAT , TIADA ROGOL tapi kes mesti dibicarakan !

Usaha para konspirator dan UMNO/BN untuk memenjarakan Datuk Seri Anwar sekali lagi ! Mereka cukup takut untuk berdepan dengan Anwar . Memasukkan Anwar ke jeriji besi akan melumpuh dan melemahkan Pakatan Rakyat !

justice for anwar ! justice for anwar ! justice for anwar !
