THE TEACHING OF MATHS AND SCIENCE By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

From Tun Dr Mahathir's blog... please cast your vote.

I am not surprised over the disappointment and even anger towards the Government's decision on the teaching of Maths and Science.

Seems to me like the Government is not listening to the voice of the people.

Perhaps a blog poll might enlighten the Government as to the opinions of the people.

The question to be answered is whether visitors to my blog support or oppose the decision to teach Maths and Science in Bahasa Malaysia.

If you support just say Yes.

If you don't please say No.

I will then try to let the Government know your opinion.

Here In Your Presence - New Life Worship

Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchless in every way



Lyrics: Here In Your Presence

WebSite: New Life Worship
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFZyT2fEK3I
Lyrics: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/n/new_life_worship/here_in_your_presence.html

Verse:
Found in your hands, fullness of joy
Every fear suddenly wiped a-way here in you presence
All of my gains now fade away
Every crown no longer on dis-play, here in your presence
Heaven is trembling in awe of your wonders
The kings and their kingdoms are standing amazed

Chorus:
Here in your presence, we are undone
Here in your presence, heaven and earth become one
Here in your presence, all things are new
Here in your presence, everything bows before you

Bridge:
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchless in every way

Maths And Science In Bahasa Malaysia

It is Bahasa again but more emphasis will be placed on learning English

PUTRAJAYA: The Government has decided to reverse the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English policy and revert to Bahasa Malaysia in national schools and Chinese and Tamil in vernacular schools.

More emphasis would also be placed on English, including the hiring of retired teachers, assistant teachers for bigger classes and having additional periods.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said this meant that from 2012, students in Years One and Four and Forms One and Four in national primary and secondary schools would study the two subjects in Bahasa Malaysia while those in vernacular schools would be taught in their mother tongue (Chinese and Tamil).

4 July 2009: 88 Fish Head Seafood Restaurant

Dinner with the family last Saturday in Sungai Long at the recently opened 88 Fish Head Seafood Restaurant.

The food was good in particularly the vegetable soup and tauhu. The steam fish was a bit sweet.

I would patron this restaurant again, but not order the steam fish.

You can see the restaurant from the bus stop in front of UTAR Sungai Long.
