Opinion about the existence of political interests in the policy of teaching and learning mathematics and science in English language

I agree that the government decided to implement teaching and learning mathematics and science in English as political impact. Government felt that English language is important in the development and able to compete with foreign countries. This case because the English language is international language and is able to compete international level. I do not agree with the government implementing the teaching and learning mathematics and science in English language as Malay language is used from time immemorial. Malay language also been synonymous with people's lives in Malaysia. I also do not agree because Malay language is symbol of the Malaysian nation in line with the concept that brought by the Prime Minister that our 'One Malaysia'. I also not deny that the English language is important to compete at the international level, but just enough to learn about language and about the communication in English only. It need not be taught in mathematics and science subjects as this will make the students do not understand about mathematics and science.
