| 2002-08-19 | So The Final Proposals on English Is Not Final When all is said and done, it is this gradual whittling away of non-Malay space that is reflected in the opposition to any government policy forced down their throats. So hamfistedly is it done so even the Malay today will not accept this Malay political diktat. This mindset would not disappear even if this squabble over English is. The BN supreme council, in which UMNO is but a member, has not discussed it. The non-Malay parties in the BN government are not consulted on important matters; if they are, the non-Malay leaders do not consult their parties; if the parties object, they are anti-national. When this is how consultation exists in the BN, how could it be otherwise in the larger Malaysian context? So the non-Malay communities withdraw into themselves, turn to culture and history for sustenance, and erect barricades against the political parties in the BN which nominally represents them. This is so of the Malay, the Chinese, the Indian. Any proposal forced down their throats is resisted, especially over education. There was the Vision Schools fiasco before this. This cannot be resolved with threats and forcefeeding and the ISA. |

| 2002-08-16 | English As She Is Not Spoke But the government has so skewed its education policies that change is resisted. Every official change proposed so far is to the detriment of Chinese and Indian schools. Fresh from its fiasco of Vision Schools, which the Chinese schools saw as a threat to Chinese language education, it is told to accept English for science and mathematics. |
