SINCE 2008, the Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) has been seeking the non-abolition of the mandatory policy of teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in English but we were thwarted at every turn. We persevered and the policy was resurrected in the form of the Soft Landing in 2011, which will end in 2020, allowing students who started in English to finish in English.
In the meantime, this scientific English policy was replaced by a language policy in 2011 called “Memartabatkan Bahasa Melayu, Memperkasakan Bahasa Inggeris or MBMMBI (Uphold Bahasa Melayu, Strengthen the English Language), which continues to be expanded and developed.
