English for mathematics and science?

Why Mahathir insisted on using English for mathematics and science?

Because global uses the language as information's technology language at this moment. How dangerous and confusing it is if we were to use them in Bahasa, especially at school.

See example below:

*hardware = barang keras

*software = barang lembut

*joystick = batang gembira

*plug and play = cucuk dan main

*port = lubang

*server = pelayan

*client = pelanggan

Now try translating this:

ENGLISH : The 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.

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.

Now You Know, Huh?...
