Language switch: Gov't bars parents-teachers meet

The PTA of a school is upset that authorities will not allow them to hold an EGM to voice opposition to the scrapping of teaching science and mathematics in English. [VIDEO INSIDE]MORE

	Parents vote on PPSMI

Even though the PTA could not hold the meeting, it could count the ballot papers from parents stating whether they wanted the teaching of science and mathematics to continue in that school. The result: 97% in favour. The PTA president said the result would be forwarded to the PM and Edu Minister along with an appeal.

Frankly, I think the effort by this single school is a waste of time. Already Tun had conducted the poll in his blog on the decision of the Government to teach Maths and Science in Bahasa Malaysia. The result: 86% oppose.

The poll is officially closed today. The vote count has reached 100,000 since last Thursday. I would like to thank all readers who had participated in the poll and made their stand on the issue.

I am not surprised over the disappointment and even anger towards the Government's decision on the teaching of Maths and Science.

Seems to me like the Government is not listening to the voice of the people.

Perhaps a blog poll might enlighten the Government as to the opinions of the people.

The question to be answered is whether visitors to my blog support or oppose the decision to teach Maths and Science in Bahasa Malaysia.

If you support just say Yes.

If you don't please say No.

I will then try to let the Government know your opinion.
