HOTTES ISSUE TODAY: PPSMI

PPSMI: Should not be abolished

Is so pity that some of us take is as a burden by using English totally in learning Mathematics and Science. As a matter of fact, publ

ic should look it from the positive side. First of all, I would like to brief all of you about PPSMI. PPSMI is the outcome of a policy decision made by the Government of Malaysia as the result from the Minister’s Council Meeting held on 19 July 2002. It stands for 'Pembelajaran dan Pengajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris'. The implementation of PPSMI was carried out in stages beginning with the 2003 schooling session. The pioneers were all Year 1 students for Primary Schools, Form 1 and Lower 6 students for Secondary Schools. The full implementation of PPSMI was in 2007 for Secondary Schools and 2008 for Primary Schools.

The rationale for the decision to change the medium of instruction from the Malay Language to English for the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics subjects was made based

concerning the nation’s human capital development towards achieving the standard of a developed country, as well as an early preparation to compete in the era of globalization.

It is widely known that the field of science and mathematics form the basis and have a crucial role in the progress and development of a country. Various innovations and discoveries in

these two fields happen rapidly and information access is mostly in the English language.

English language is also the language spoken internationally and mastery in this language would allow easy access to information in these fields.

The policy decision to implement PPSMI was made to ensure students’ mastery in science and mathematics in view of the fact that most of the sources are available in the English language. Indirectly, it is also hoped that the implementation of PPSMI would contribute to the enhancing of students’ command of the language.

I always feel weird when some people said that by teaching Science and Mathematics in English will give a hard time to the students and worse this great move will lead to the vanishing of Bahasa Melayu which I think purely ridiculous. When the first time it was introduced, yes we didn’t have a beautiful chart to brag about but after some times, it became better and better each year.

Some people even complaints about there are a lot of problem to those students in the rural. Are you suggesting that we have to move backward to the rural level and stuck there until those students manage to cope with the world? If the rural students want to be success, they don’t have any other choice than to study hard and practice it. If they are entitle to continue study and will be studying abroad, do you think they will still use Bahasa Melayu in other people’s country?

Most of the reference books are in English. Do you know how hard for the students to translate English-Malay and Malay-English? Most people think that PPSMI will make the gap

between rural and urban becomes big. Are they suggesting that we slow down the speed for the urban to give chance for the rural to cope? Pathetic.

In a nutshell, I am still fixed with my view that PPSMI should not be abolished for our own good.Thank you.

POEM ABOUT PPSMI BY A.SAMAD SAID

Lalu, aku sayu dan aku pilu;

lalu, aku ragu dan aku malu …

Buah ranum pada tangkai;

bahasa gugur dari hati,sekali janji, sekali nafi;

sekali pancang, sekali pincang,

iktibar apakah semua ini?

Lalu pemimpin angkuh berkata …

Aku apa peduli

Kalaupun Shakespear turun ke bumi!

Lalu Sasterawan Negara bersumpah lagi …

Jangan berikan undi,

pada mereka yang menghina bahasa sendiri.

Jangan diundi pemimpin yang …

bertelinga satu,berlidah dua.

(A. Samad Said - Sasterawan Negara)

diz is story about her

Jika kamu memancing ikan....
Setelah ikan itu terlekat di mata kail,
hendaklah kamu mengambil ikan itu....

Janganlah sesekali kamu LEPASKAN ia
semula ke dalam air begitu saja....
Kerana ia akan SAKIT oleh kerana bisanya
ketajaman mata kailmu dan mungkin ia akan MENDERITA selagi ia masih hidup.

Begitulah juga ........

Setelah kamu memberi banyak PENGHARAPAN
kepada seseorang...
Setelah ia mulai MENYAYANGIMU hendaklah kamu MENJAGA hatinya....
Janganlah sesekali kamu meninggalkannya begitu saja....

Kerana dia akan TERLUKA oleh kenangan bersamamu
dan mungkin TIDAK dapat MELUPAKAN segalanya selagi dia mengingatmu. ...

Jika kamu menadah air biarlah berpada,
jangan terlalu mengharap pada takungannya dan janganlah menganggap ia begitu teguh....
cukuplah sekadar KEPERLUANmu. ..
Apabila sekali ia retak.... tentu sukar untuk kamu menampalnya semula.... Akhirnya ia dibuang....

Sedangkan jika kamu cuba memperbaikinya mungkin ia masih dapat dipergunakan lagi....
Begitu juga jika kamu memiliki seseorang,
TERIMALAH seadanya....
Janganlah kamu terlalu mengaguminya dan janganlah kamu menganggapnya begitu ISTIMEWA....

Anggaplah dia manusia biasa. Apabila sekali dia melakukan KESILAPAN bukan mudah bagi kamu untuk menerimanya. ...
akhirnya kamu KECEWA dan meninggalkannya.

Sedangkan jika kamu MEMAAFKANNYA boleh jadi hubungan kamu akan TERUS hingga ke akhirnya....

Jika kamu telah memiliki sepinggan nasi...
yang kamu pasti baik untuk dirimu.
Mengenyangkan. Berkhasiat.
Mengapa kamu berlengah,
cuba mencari makanan yang lain..
Terlalu ingin mengejar kelazatan.
Kelak, nasi itu akan basi dan kamu tidak boleh memakannya. Kamu akan MENYESAL.

Begitu juga jika kamu telah bertemu dengan seorang insan.....yang pasti membawa KEBAIKAN kepada dirimu.

MENYAYANGIMU. .. MENGASIHIMU. ..
Mengapa kamu berlengah,
cuba MEMBANDINGKANNYA dengan yang lain.
Terlalu mengejar KESEMPURNAAN.
Kelak, kamu akan KEHILANGANNYA apabila dia menjadi milik orang lain..
Kamu juga yang akan MENYESAL...

Words that mean a lot

I LUV THESE WORDS..ALL ABOUT PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

I’ve learned that things change, people change, and it doesn’t mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on and treasure the memories. Letting go doesn’t mean giving up.. it means accepting that some things weren’t meant to be..sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go..

Sometimes all you can give is love
Sometimes all you have is not enough

Sometimes life is like a dream
Sometimes dreams aren’t what they seem

Sometimes laughter can heal your heart
Sometimes it’s laughter that breaks it apart

Sometimes the world goes faster than you can go
Sometimes even fast is still too slow

Sometimes going home is the only thing on your mind
Sometimes home is the only place you can’t find

Sometimes you are too tired to sleep
Sometimes you are too sad to weep

Sometimes freedom holds you back
Sometimes a wedding dress is black

Sometimes loneliness is what you need
Sometimes there’s a harvest without a seed

Sometimes darkness can be too bright
Sometimes rain gives you delight

Sometimes you think you understand
Sometimes you know you really cant

Sometimes what sets you free are restrictions
Sometimes what makes most sense are contradictions

sometimes..it remains sometimes..

Heartbreaks

how many heartbreaks does it take
till u realize its not right
when it happens do forgive and forget
or do u care and cry
how many does it take till u understand
everyone has gone through it yet we never stop
what is luv if it leaves u dead with a broken heart
is it love when u cry from them
if luv is supposed to be happy
then why are we sad
to all people who read this i hope u understand

that if this helps u will be strong in all heartbreaks or have none at all.
this is life people luv is not good its painfull and to me its real luv and heartbreaks are no laughing matter they are everyone life they are my life if u love u will hate we dont need any more hatred that there already is luv same with heartbreaks and hatred..
brokenhearts are reality wake up..

Appreciate those who have hurt you..

because they strengthen your heart

Appreciate those who deceive you..

because they improve your wisdom

Appreciate those who slander against you..

because they improve your personality

Appreciate those who whip you..

because they arouse your will to fight

Appreciate those who abandon you..

because they teach you independence

Appreciate those who make you stumble..

because they strengthen your legs

Appreciate those who denounce you..

because they remind you of your shortcomings

Appreciate those who give you strength..

i dont know what i’ll be in the future..

but i believe that these words meant something and will lead me to somewhere..

i’ll appreciate those around me now..

i will love them..

i will forgive those who hurt me before..

i will cherish those memories that have passed..

wat if

wat if the light neva came back when it was dark wat would u see..?
wat if the flowers all died wat would u smell..?
wat if everyone lefted u wat would u hear..?
wat if the world came to an end wat would u touch..?
wat would u feel if this is how u always feel wat would u do..?
(x_x)

The ones you love are there for you everyday.
The ones you care for are there to protect you.
The ones that love you always end up leaving you.
They will leave you and you didnt do anything wrong.
They dont tell you why they just say its over.
So the one you love and care for are not always there to
help you though they care and love you.
They might end up leaving you behind and leaving you in
tiny little pices.
So love is what you make it and if they wind up leaving you .
You can do what it takes to build yourself back up and hopefully
you can move one..

a moment about life

Life isn’t just about keeping score.
It’s not about how many people call you
And it’s not about who you’ve dated or haven’t dated at all.
It isn’t about who you’ve kissed,
What sport you play,
Or which guy or girl likes you.
It’s not about your shoes or your hair
Or the color of your skin,
Or where you live or go to school.
In fact it’s not about grades, money,
Clothes, or colleges that accept you or not.
Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone,
And it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Life isn’t about that.
But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It’s about how you feel about yourself.
It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion.
It’s about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance
And building confidence.
It’s about what you say and what you mean.
It’s about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have.
Most of all it is choosing to use your life.
In a way that could have neverbeen achieved otherwise.
These choices are what life’s about.

Don’t be absolute about yourself being so clever, when you might simply be surrounded by stupid people.

Don’t be absolute about yourself being so beautiful, when you might simply be surrounded by ugly people.

Don’t be absolute about yourself being so powerful, when you might simply be surrounded by weak people.

But be absolute about yourself being so lucky and blessed, because you are surrounded by life to fill your days with, people to cast love upon, dreams to bear hope for and miracles to give your name to.
