For Barisan though, reversing teaching M & S in English to BM is a policy of political gain. To benefit Barisan Nasional and their appeal to their core voters. Which no matter the amount of denial, is racism up BN's sleeve. They don't give a shit about the kids currently in school. Racism is something we have to face with. We cannot just see no evil, speak no evil when what is there is so apparent for all to interpret. Call me racist but don't call me a hypocrite. Until the day I see all races get equal opportunities in all sectors, I will speak up against racism. That is why I get riled up with BN's recent flip flop in PPSMI which I deem is political motivated. Short-sightedness is believing values and cultures can be preserved by limiting exposure to English. Learning through textbooks is one thing. Being able to participate in active discussions, debates and exchanges to cultivate knowledge with people all over the world is another. Never before has is been so easy to do that.

But isn't they also reverted to YOUR native tongue language and not just in BM? Or, maybe you just read the hadlines huh? So you want our country to be like Singapore just thinking about development and scrapping Locality (asian culture atleast)? You are really short-sighted. How Japan can reach their technological advance just with their native languages? Are you the one who always follow what people on internet are speaking without thinking of the truth? US and UK are facing the worst economic contraction now and you really think we should follow them? You kind of a desperate parent who search on the internet for your child's education. Try go out and find a bookstore around you rather than just simply typing weird question on Google. There's abundance of book there. Multi-languages! p/s: I don't even mentions any race so no racism here. I don’t want to be so rude and be racism. But isn’t they also reverted to YOUR native tongue language and not just in BM?
