KUALA LUMPUR (July 16): The government is making an in-depth study of a new system of teaching science and mathematics in English, with the lessons recorded by the best teachers replicated in every school through information technology, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said this way of teaching and learning science and mathematics in English will enable all pupils and students to benefit from the competency of these expert teachers.
“In this way, all pupils and students will achieve an almost similar outcome,” he said during the Ministers’ Question Time when replying to a question from Ahmad Fahmi Mohamed Fadzil (PH-Lembah Pantai) who had wanted to know whether there will a reintroduction of the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in English.

Dr Mahathir said the Education Ministry also takes into account the importance of mastering teaching and learning in English because it is an international language, is necessary for management and enterprise and is considered when offering employment.
“Unlike geography and history, knowledge in science keeps growing all the time as a result of research by experts which is usually conducted not in the Malay language. English is important in mastering new knowledge,” he said.
Dr Mahathir said the translation into the Malay language cannot be done unless it is by the experts who understand the new knowledge that has to be translated.
He also said that the National Education Advisory Council has also provided its insights on the policy of teaching and learning science and mathematics in the English language.
“There are many who want science and mathematics to be taught in English, and there are also those who insist it must continue to be taught in Malay,” he said.
The policy, which was introduced in 2003, was replaced with the policy on ‘Enhancing Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthening the English Language’ in stages from 2010.
Dr Mahathir emphasised that the search for new knowledge, including artificial intelligence, can drive Malaysia into becoming a developed nation.
However, he said, this can only be done through the mastery of the English language because only those who have mastered English are conducting such research.
“The nationalistic spirit may spur us to retain our language but, if we remain uninformed, our nation and our language will not progress,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Those championing the Malay language should put aside nationalist pride to allow science and mathematics to be taught in English, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"It will be difficult for us to find those who can translate newfound knowledge into the national language if we do not know the language in which the knowledge is acquired.
"It is my view that nationalistic pride makes some of us more inclined towards maintaining our own language," the Prime Minister said when answering a question raised by Ahmad Fahmi Mohamed Fadzil (PH-Lembah Pantai) during Minister's Question Time in Parliament on Tuesday (July 16).
However, Dr Mahathir acknowledged there was a division between those who want the subjects to be taught in English and those who insist on the use of the national language.
He said the National Education Advisory Council was currently providing feedback on whether to reintroduce the PPSMI policy (Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English) in schools.
He said this included a detailed study by the Education Ministry on how to reintroduce PPSMI through a new model using IT.
He said this would involve the use of the recording of the subject being taught by the best teachers.
Dr Mahathir noted those who failed to learn in the language of knowledge such as English would be left behind.
"Mastering English in terms of teaching and learning is crucial as it is an international language needed for management and administration," he said, adding that mastering the language also helped in employment opportunities.
He cited the example of Malaysian students who had to learn English or other languages when furthering their studies in Britain, the United States, Russia or Saudi Arabia.
Dr Mahathir said unlike history and geography, new discoveries and advancements were made in science and mathematics using English and other languages.
"For example, information technology and artificial technology are new forms of knowledge which did not exist during my time as a student.
"It would be difficult to find those who are well versed in the fields to translate them into the national language," he added.
The PPSMI was introduced in 2003 but was phased out by 2012 and replaced by the Upholding the Malay Language and Strengthening Command of English (MBMMBI) policy.
Since coming to power, the Pakatan Harapan administration has reportedly been keen to reintroduce PPSMI.

thanks Atarah.keep in mind that we are the 2nd or 3rd layers who get the news.so if nothing happen,it means no good news that's why the counter doesnt moves.i3 put TP RM10 also if bigboys dont take action the price will not move up.big boys money is the main factor to push the price up,not our bilis money.
All in media,forum,blog,facebook,telegram or what so ever are consider 2nd hand news.they manipulate the news in purpose.to be at ssfe side,just follow the directors of the company,if they buy their own share means something will happen&if they dispose it is not a good sign.simple
