U Turn Again?

I was really disappointed on the recent decision of the government to reverse their decision on teaching Mathematics and Science in English. I was also very annoyed with Anwar Ibrahim earlier, see below

(TheStar 28 June) PETALING JAYA: Scrap the policy of teaching Science and Mathematics in English and bring back Bahasa Melayu as the medium of instruction in the education system, said Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He urged for the return of Bahasa Melayu’s status as the supreme language, which included using it as the medium to teach Maths and Science in national schools and strengthening its usage in Chinese and Tamil schools.

“This issue has become a controversy for far too long. We consider this policy a betrayal towards Bahasa Melayu as our official language,” hetold a press conference Sunday.

Now you know why I applaud our neighbour Indonesia as I think they will do a lot better than Malaysia in the next 10 years(see yesterday's post). The issue is NOT language. The issue is we don't have true statesman that will do the right thing for the people. I know English is good honey but let's do Bahasa. Where the f*** are the leaders in this country? I do not hope that we one day will follow the footsteps of the Filipinos, the people were so desperate that they were willing to try anybody - doctor(failed), actor(failed) and finally ruled by a beauty queen.

Truly yours,
Desperado Malaysian Turtle!

P.S. I make no apology for using the word f*** in this post.
