Case to revive English-medium schools
Today, many are lamenting that the government's greatest mistake was abolishing English-medium schools. They believed that today's low English proficiency in Malaysia was a phenomenon after the abolition of English schools.
Apart from seriously considering support for the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in English, the ministry ought to really give serious thought to consider re-introducing English-medium schools.The importance of English in the school curriculum, and the urgency of improving English proficiency among students in this era of globalisation should not be underestimated and under valued..
The fruits of Malaysian policies on English and Education .
This video demonstrates the results of years of sidelining English in favor of BM in our institutions of academia. Although awfully funny but is also thought provoking at the same time.
And to think the lawyer below is representing the Goverment for the MACC . To be fair his line of questioning was an attempt to discredit the witness and cast doubts over her credentials , and it may still be understandable that he failed because his command of english was so deplorably funny that no one took him seriously. I do symphatize with his weakness in English proficiency but not his illogical reasonings to cast doubts. Just cannot suffer fools .
I put forth to you my case via the command of English exhibited by our learned DPP who has been a lawyer for 24 years. You decide on whether the standard of English used is in dire straits or not.A typical product of our Goverment's policies and attitudes on the acceptable standards.
On a lighter note, i watch this again at times when i really need a good laff !
FACE PALM.!
See the guy on the bottom left of the screen shot..there are dozens of such moments with statements that can easily qualify for these throughout the cross examination and the line of questioning/ questions that borders on sheer stupidity ,regardless of whatever language it is in.
making all who are associated with it look extremely bad.!.
Intentionally or Inadvertently this guy made a mockery of the seriousness of the inquest into TBH's demise.
Glad at least Malaysians have a sense of humour to mock him back.
Selection of funniest comments on this video:
This lawyer dude should just strangle himself since he demonstrated how,coz he runs the risk of being shot by the grammar police and vigilantes seeking out moronic lawyers.
You r not qualified..duh the lady is a doctor! if he is unconscious his body will be heavier..Yup the indisputable law of physics .I m still laffing!
Education Ministry, this is the time to wake up and start bringing the best of English to a greater heights
And we all wonder why there's criminals out there on the streets. With a prosecution like this, who needs a defence lawyer. How the hell did that lawyer pass the bar exams -.-by drinking loads of shots and bartender passed him with flying colors..that was the bar he came from downing few more before this cross examination
If I ever committed a crime I want this guy to be the prosecution. I'd probably get away with murder.
