Why Bahasa Melayu is Not Suitable for Science & Maths

[Vagabond]

*From a Forwarded Email*


Malaysian Government should not insists on using Bahasa for Math and Science..


This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See example below:-

Hardware = barangkeras

Software = baranglembut

Joystick = batang gembira

Plug and Play = cucuk dan main

Port = lubang

Server = pelayan

Client = pelanggan



Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:

That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.



Now in BAHASA:

Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.


Now you know...WHY...?

that's why , some malaysian graduates go overseas work time , get laughed at

and we have our own education system to blame.

With respect, our government want to achieve something like the japan, German or the French does,be proud of own language. But the true fact is, the education level from the beginning of primary to the secondary in our country is far behind compare with other countries. For instants during the primary and secondary school days everything is in Malay then to the higher learning intuition everything is in English. The students which doesn't have a strong foundation with their language is rather hard and need some time to adjust themselves with it.
And look at the current society, what language is widely spoken ? Even the chinese and indians is speaking english than their mother tongue. What is the purpose of wasting time learning something we hardly use. Thats y local talents rather shine somewhere overseas than being contain in own ground !!!!!!

Ahhhh ....... but let's look at the population count of Germany and Russia , etc.

their population outnumbers malaysia's meager 20+ mil by a significant margin.

BM will be the downfall of the world....................

Totally agree. If the government want to make things happen in Germany, France, Russia ....... make sure they can educate their people speak REAL english than bloody manglish, thinking of myself being 1 of the manglish fella make me feel damn embarrassing and sick !!!!

You're lucky to learn science and maths in english from form 4 onwards. I'm one of the not so lucky fella learn everything in malay and suffer to understand terms explain in english at college....

 

[Jeff86ks]

it's ok lar, just put in more effort and you can cope with it. I was from the BM era too, it all depends on your commitment towards your study.

Don't shoot me... :vroam:

 

[katzman90]

They started the English-Era since year 2003.
Those who graduated before year 2003 are studied in Bahasa Melayu.

Talking about teachers ..haha .. I had a teacher who thought biology but teach/speak in bm even though we are learning in english ..therefore , no one listens to her ..hahaha ..means she speak/teach in bm refering to an english biology textbook

Why need to use language as the excuse for the failing that caused by the culture? Some people lazy, some people being baby-sat since born, and etc. If 1 person really wanna learn something, language will be the last problem before IQ. Initiative will be the 1st one then follow by the will.

In the school, the teachers' jobs are to pass over the knowledge to the students. As long as the student understand and WILLING to learn, then will be ok. But the current situation, most students are heading to the trendy fashion or show off gadgets, some thinking anti teachers are cool, some even know to enjoy the fun of poking or being poked. When the school try to pull them back, the parents will start singing like MC Hammer - you can't touch this (him/her). When their children get bad result, they will turn their face to Def Leppard and sing Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad, to their friends, neighbor, relative and etc.

Our education system is still far away from world class. The gov is trying hard to full fill the peoples' request (that's why such thing like teaching maths and science with English can came out). No one will remember the purpose of education. Everyone just want their children can go into U and after that become a money making machine. What can I say? I wanna sing They Don't care About Us, people will throw bad eggs because they do care about their children's $$ future, over care some more. Wanna sing LMF's 債 , those bananas ( 黃皮膚嘅鬼仔 ) will say I discriminate them.

We have our language and we should proud of it. We can learn other language but should never let down ours. Sht, if can put Mr. Wee's 麻坡的華語 Muar's Mandarin MV with the middle finger part onto here sure dem syiok Mother language is proven to be the best education used language for the whole world. But there are many still think oversea's moon always rounder.

To understand both

and C8H18 don't need good english. If don't know the 1st one, can bang the head onto the wall and don't know the 2nd one, can buy 1L with RM1.90 to drink. Knowing excellent english but with a robotic brain is kind of shame as a human. Only mother language can bring us alive. Bananas are in the exception list. Because their mother language is english. Hopefully their maths can be better than me who fail quite a bit.

Sorry, I don't think this thread's title and the server thing are funny. Because it put every single Malaysian passport holder in shame. I hope the foreign immigration control officers won't look at me and try to control themselves for not laughing. Don't let posting urge faster than your brain processing speed.

Bump:

If half of your classmates score A1 in English, you can laugh as much as you can.
