Joke of the month, WHY ENGLISH?

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.
