Language of study

   The problem Malaysians are facing now is the educational studies in which some are on Bahasa while other subjects are in English. Why is this a problem?

   Primary, secondary and high-school in Malaysia now are teaching subjects in bahasa. But when it comes to universities or college, students are taught most subjects in English, especially for science and law students.

   The matter is a problem as students find it hard to adapt to a learn subject in a language they were not taught at the beginning. This might result to low performance of students in their studies and high failure rate among them.

   We need to take this matter seriously as it could effect the future of the country. It is highly recommended that students are taught subjects in English. The reason for this statement is because English is an universal language which is used all around the world. For student who would be traveling to foreign countries would find this very important and handy.

   Just because English is recommended as the language of most subjects, it must not be taken for granted that bahasa melayu is also an important language especially in the southeast of Asia.
