Dire need for English to be a must-pass subject

Assalamualaikum and every good evening to all.

This entry would be my response towards the excerpt of a newspaper dated 25th February 2013 which was published in New Straits Times by Lavanya Lingan titled "Dire need for English to be a must-pass subject". 

The writer believes that English is imperative subject in order to make a change towards the educational status in Malaysia. It is an initiative to inculcate a better generation of Malaysia which is English is a medium and the new benchmark to be achieved. Yet, the writer highlights the question whether we are ready to realise the dream. Setting a new goal in our educational system need to consider a lot of things. Datuk Ali Hassan himself brings the idea of English as a must-pass subject still requires a lot of planning and preparations therefore, the upcoming results upon the student is promising.

A former teacher, Lee Mei Ling, 44 also commented that the new idea would put Malaysia as one of the famous education centre to study. It is how people would see Malaysia as an influential country when the new system of English be the must-pass subject in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) as improving English subject is not a simple job, it needs a hard working, effective action plans towards make it true. I would that in the next future, if the idea is implemented, Malaysia would born a huge number of professionals in any intellectual fields.

English language, a global language understand by millions of people worldwide.

However, the new idea still need to go a research and development to ensure the feedback given is positive. It is true when a parent commented (Fawziah Mohd Shahar, 42) English is a crucial subject when student learn in tertiary level. Every thing needs student to understand how English works in assignments, tasks and even the lecture in universities are mostly in English. Therefore, mastering English subject should be boosted and enhanced from the early beginning as making it a compulsory subject to be passed by students.

Apart being a futuristic in order to make the Malaysia generations is competent enough to play the game in real life , we should not neglect the mother tongue of Malaysia where Bahasa Malaysia is equally vital to be mastered. It is how to promote Malaysia to be excellence in many ways and not to forget their root as Malaysians.

Thanks for your time and let's make the change towards a better nation.

Assalamualaikum
