Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math andscience?

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 da 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 plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.

BAHASA:

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

Now do you know...WHY ??...
