I can't see why we cannot take 1 step forward to integrate the BM textbooks few years back with the current English science and maths text books. Its a lot of effort, but why move backward instead of forward. We can allow students to use either English or BM to answer in the exams as long as the maths and science principles are correct. Some good will surely come out of the dialectics at work between both languages instead of choosing either one. We need new advancements. We need Malaysia Boleh. Not some power struggle between languages. When will Malaysia advance and not hold on to race and language as stumbling blocks but embrace our differences as advantages?

I still remembered my battle with the word 'infotainmen'. Is it English, or Malay? Even my Dad answered, "It's Malay" with such a painful smile, as if embarrassed to even admit it. Ok Intan, saya sudah meng- Wait, what's comment in English? And I don't want the answers 'komen' or 'respon'. Still taken from English.
