Incredible....if that be the word when Zulkifli Noordin, the MP for Kulim Bandar Baru told the press that Malaysian would be like Filipinos working as maids or low-costs foreign workers one day, if we continue to put too much emphasis on english proficiency. Filipinos who took pride in their ability to speak english has only succeeded in exporting many maids....so what is so good about english? He quipped...
Don't quite understand him, what has Filipinos being maids got to do with our nation using english for Science and Maths! What I think he meant was with english as the medium of instruction the rural boys just cannot cope. Since the rural boys are the majority of the malays and if they are not able to cope then the repercussion is bad for the country as a whole. Nevertheless he has over reacted just like the urbanites who had reacted "badly" to the "Back to BM" decision over the last couple of days. However we cannot be stopping those brighter students from moving forward and then moving to university studies overseas just because we need to cater for those in the rural areas...is that correct? What the real solution is all about options. If the rural groups are not able to cope, then they should put emphasis on BM to get them there if they are able to get where they wanted to go....Leave english as the option intact so that there can be future comparison.
Hold it....I would be most happy if this PKR MP is just talking about the better side of "Back to BM...". He distastefully went on insisting that the government should bring back the Jawi thing - writing BM in jawi! He categorically states "Romanising the Malay language has made the people illiterate in Jawi and therefore in Al-Koran". But wait, he seemed to be telling everyone that english is no good and BM is still not good enough; but Jawi is the solution...Damn him if we have to learn this Jawi thing....we gone through hell when we were young. Why not he propose to the government to adopt Jawi as the medium of instruction for everything!
Just take a look at his educational background:
Saya, ZULKIFLI BIN NOORDIN, dilahirkan di Kg. Carok Bemban, Batu 42, Baling, Kedah pada 19 Februari 1962.
Mendapat pendidikan awal di Ashby Road (English) Primary School, Ipoh. Bersekolah menengah di Anderson School Ipoh dan King Edward VII Taiping. Pra Universiti di Maktab Tentera Di Raja, Sungai Besi sebelum melanjutkan pengajian ke New Zealand. Pengajian A-Level di Pakuranga College, Bucklands Beach, Auckland dan akhirnya memasuki Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand di antara 1982-1986.
Wah! With so much of english language education to get him till todate, he is now telling his country men that we should go back to Jawi....
If you want to vote for him.....I cannot imagine!
Remember
