This is my way of indirectly informing our government (UMNO leaders, especially) of the situations on the ground, if they ever read the blog at all. Often, you get the feeling our leaders seem to have their heads in the clouds. What they say in public often seem to be a lot different from what’s happening on the ground. Why the disconnect? Is it ignorance? Stupidity? Arrogance? Only they can explain.
“onthestreets” is about letting known how people on the streets think and feel about issues affecting their everyday life.

Kalau PPSMI dimansuhkan pihak rakyat jelata dengan tidak berfikir panjang akan menggunakan kekuatan kami memansuhkan BN dari kerajaan pada pilihanraya akan datang. Adalah amat kecewa dengan segala suara ketidakpuasaan di kalangan rakyat kerajaan BN masih berdegil dengan pendirian tersendiri. Mungkin ini satu-satunya penentu nasib BN pada kali ini.
Pihak BN harus sedar kerajaan ini adalah pilihan rakyat dan pilihan dibuat bukan untuk menyusahkan dan mengecewakan rakyat. Perkara PPSMI yang begitu penting tidak dapat di teliti dengan baik bagaimanakah kerajaan dapat memimpin negara pada masa hadapan yang lebih mencabar.
Saya amat berterima kasih kepada Tun Ma(dalam BC) yang telah membawa negara ke tahap yang disegani dunia dengan pencapaian pemodenannya yang dibuat beliau. Beliaulah yang betul-betul berpandangan jauh yang telah banyak berkorban untuk mengubah kedudukan negara ke tahap yang di hormati dunia.
Sikap kebudak-budakan BN amat memalukan. Prestasi kumpulan kerajaan sekarang selepas Tun Ma adalah mengecewakan dan lemah. Kalau situasi demikian berterusan berkemungkinan negara MALAYSIA yang berdiri kukuh dan dihormati tidak lama lagi akan dilihat sebagai sebuah negara kurang berpotensi dan akan dipandang rendah kerana kelemahan kita sendiri. BN harus sedar satu daripada kekuatan negara ini berbanding dengan negara-negara jiran ialah kemahiran rakyat berbahasa Inggeris dan pihak BN jangan merosakkannya. Sepatutnya BN harus memperkukuhkannya dengan menerapkan lebih banyak matapelajaran dalam bahasa Inggeris (Prinsip Akaun, Sains, Matematik dan Lukisan Kejuruteraan) untuk generasi muda kita.

The execution in reverting teaching maths and science in Malay language seem harsh and hasty in reflecting Malaysian as real coward in handling challenges. Those who are brought up be the education system of the 70’s will experience the benefits of studying maths and science in English. The vast collection of books and website in English do not put an inherent to explore unlimited scientific knowhow exploding from the kitchen to the fixing of my computer. The unlimited tribute of English put me well in the working environment and business. We have little problem when going around any four corners of the world.
Lessons should be learnt on the impact of the switch over after 1980 about sudden drop in the standard of English usage by our people after that. They have difficulties in creating simple scientific or business report without professional help from overseas like Singapore. Malaysian is a multicultural society with a variety of superb human resources who are relatively intelligent people but are dragged by serious setbacks with skeptical education background when creating an English report. No wonder so many international entrepreneurs complain about the poor presentation of reports and working altitude with low productivity by our people when generating simple reports (ISO, GMP, FDA, etc).
Perhaps the Malays are destined with instinct to fail like Malacca sultans who lasted for incredible short history after protections were withdrawn. I feel terrible pity to the Malays being so cowardly cultured when coming to simple challenges. I wonder how long majorities of Malays have to depend on the government for source of income and remain comfortably satisfy as a weak race waiting to be crumpled because not eager to learn new things. Malays should realize the important of English as a technological language for the survival of your race. It’s a fact. Don’t try to compare with the Japanese or Europeans as you are ignorantly dangerous making serious unsound mistake. Are you going to make sacrifices like Japanese or back to the future having the history like the Chinese? I am pity for the Malays and as a friend my advice is try to adapt to the changes by adopting English in learning maths and science for the good of your race and the country.
Please do not revert to Malay language
