This is in response to English: Education Ministry Opens Line For Suggestions.
The following is the letter I wrote to the Education Ministry:
Dear Sir/Ms,
I have a suggestion for English. Let us have two different standards for English Course. We can have (1) English and (2) Further English. Schools have the option to choose either course. Those in elementary level shall take English. Others in higher level shall take Further English.
We can also do the same for the Teaching of Science and Mathematics. We can have a bilingual system. Schools have the option to choose teaching-learning Science and Mathematics in English or in mother tongue (Bahasa Malaysia or Chinese or Tamil).
Malaysia is the melting pot of cultures, we should embrace multivulturism!
Regards,
