PPSMI: ARE WE GONNA STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS?

As far as I remember, 2 reasons given by our Education Minister to scrap PPSMI. According to the YB,

(1) our teachers aren't ready. Many teachers have problem conversing in English. Even after taking measures such as sending the teachers for English courses, etc, the problem still remain unsolved. So are we scrapping PPSMI because our educators are not up to the standard? Are we lowering the standard of our education simply because we do not have capable educators? What will happen to our new generation if we deny their rights to get the best education as a result of this? Shouldnt we put in more effort to ensure we have good educators instead of chickening out?

(2)the issue of kedaulatan Bahasa Melayu. Those who came up with PPSMI must have had a good damn reason to introduce PPSMI. How does the issue of kedaulatan Bahasa Melayu out-weigh those reasons? If the previous Education Minister thinks it is the best for the students to learn Science and Math in English, while our current minister thinks its best done in national language, who is right and who is wrong? Are we going to change our education system every time we have new Education Minister? We need a standardised system not a rojak system which confuses our students. Our old generation went to English schools and see how fluent they speak in Bahasa Malaysia, isnt this a good proof that learning certain subjects in English isnt going to 'jatuhkan martabat Bahasa Melayu'?

Do you know that each students have rights to get schooling in their own mother tongues? According to the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Unesco, they do! Those who habitually speak English at home have a right as well to get schooling in that language.
And that goes as well for those who speak any number of other tongues at home in Malaysia, namely, Kadazandusun, Bajau, Suluk, Filipino, Bugis and Chinese in Sabah; Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Orang Ulu, Sarawak Malay and Chinese in Sarawak; Orang Asli, Thai, Portuguese, Bahasa Melayu, Tamil and Chinese in Peninsular Malaysia. But to make it compulsory for all to get schooling in Bahasa Melayu which is the mother tongue of the Malays means denying the rights of other Malaysians.

NOTE TO REMEMBER: All Malaysians have the right to get schooling in their mother tongues! So are we gonna stand up for our rights?
