PETALING JAYA, March 7 — Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi wants an immediate decision to be made on the use of English in the teaching and learning of mathematics and science to prevent a bigger issue from cropping up.
The Prime Minister said the government acknowledged that there was strong pressure from the people, especially the Malays, who were giving much attention to the matter.
"I hope the decision will be made immediately. Otherwise non-governmental organisations will continue to put pressure and create a bigger issue," he told reporters after launching the novel "Dragon Fire Hammer" today.
Abdullah said the Education Ministry had held several meetings with the NGOs to discuss the matter.
However, the Education Ministry was not prepared to announce the nature of the decision taken for the time being. — Bernama
