seriously, i don't find anything wrong teaching science and math in english. i don't see how it would threaten our mother tongue and the malay language's status quo.

i am chinese educated, i understand how useless it is to learn science terminologies in translated, funny, long, hard to remember and difficult to write chinese words. and i never use it again.

yes, i totally support teaching science and math in english, but not partially (like now teach in english but u can choose to sit the exam in another language), but really teach and learn it in english. at the end, the malay or chinese subject is still there ba!

well, it might be true there are too many technical problems, eg: the quality of our teachers. can't even teach the kids simple math and science in english???? how f**&up it is.

i dun't understand why a bunch of old folks suddenly go to the street after silence for so many years, and why so many enforcement officers bully them as if they have nothing else to do....

relax lah....

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as ‘Euro-English’ .

In the first year, ’s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of ‘k’. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced with ‘f’. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent ‘e’ in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th’ with ‘z’ and ‘w’ with ‘v’.

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘ou’ and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil
sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
