PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has urged the government to reconsider its decision to do away with teaching Science and Maths in English.
In a post on X , Mahathir suggested that English should be the primary language of instruction for the two subjects.He said knowledge in these two subjects is lacking in the Malay language and is predominantly available in English. “This knowledge has to be translated into Malay. The translators must have a good understanding of the subject and be fluent in English and Malay. Not many people would have this qualification,” he said.
