I wonder what the fuss is about? Anyway the issue is teaching of Science and Maths in English, not other subjects! I guess a lot of people are taking this as an assault on the Bahasa Melayu (or was it Bahasa Malaysia...) and the Malay culture, as is clearly voiced by the individual interviewed!
What's my take? It is well known that the lingua franca of Science is English - well and good if these people want to teach this subject in Malay. Just don't come crying ten, twenty years down the line and say that our graduates are not equipped to compete with the outside world OK!
