July 10th

I'm now in Putrajaya. Is it coincidence or God's will that it was July 10th 2009 General Motors emerged from bankruptcy. Now that GM is owned by the governments of America, Canada and Ontario I guess GM could focus to rebuild itself and be a strong automobile leader again. Since the new entity would retain only Chevrolet,Cadillac,Buick and GMC , I guess the Pontiac brand is truly a confirmed history.

July 10th 2002 was a great day for me when I took possession of my Perodua Kancil. Since I have installed a cd mp3 player inside my Kancil, recently I bought a Mozart cd i.e. the first cd I bought since 1991.

Cheer up GM!

Teaching Mathematics and Science in English

I could not hold my tears when I learned that commencing 2012 Mathematics and Science will be taught in Bahasa Malaysia again. No offense to my own mother tongue but I think the Najib administration had made a terrible decision.

The argument is that pupils from rural areas cannot cope with learning Maths and Science in English. I came from a rural area. During my secondary school days I learned Maths and Science in Bahasa Malaysia but when I did my matriculation I learned Maths in English. Initially it was difficult but as time went by it was ok.

To my critics, I got through with my Canadian studies and it was in English. I am still a Malay, I wear the sarung, I take off my shoes when I entered my house. The only thing which I have none is a Malay girlfriend.
