Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for
math and science?

This is because the whole world uses the language as
an information and/or
technology language. How dangerous it will be if we
try to use Bahasa,
especially in school. See example below.

Hardware = barangkeras

Software = baranglembut

Joystick = batang gembira

Plug and play = cucuk dan main

Port = lubang

Server = pelayan

Client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH :

That server gives a plug and play service to the
clients using either
hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into
the port of the client.

Now in BAHASA:

Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan
main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut.
Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.

Now You Know.......why....
