Why Dr. Mahathir insisted on using English for math and science?
This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See example below.
hardware == barangkeras software == baranglembut
joystick == batang gembira plug and play == cucuk dan main port == lubang server == pelayan client == pelanggan
Try to translate this:
ENGLISH :
That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client
Now in BAHASA:
Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.
