He asserted that the new PM preferred that the two subjects are taught in Bahasa Melayu as they are now, but said this would be disadvantageous to Malaysian students when they must eventually compete on a global scale. “Every day there are new applications and discoveries. If the two are taught in BM, then Malays won’t be able to understand the papers regarding these applications, such as digitisation, artificial intelligence and so on,” he said in the interview.
Dr Mahathir repeated his warning that Malaysia would fall further behind the rest of the world if it continues to refuse to embrace English in its education.“It isn’t that I don’t love my language. I was a language champion before many today were born. In 1946, 1946 I was already championing the language but I prioritise knowledge. If we lag in terms of knowledge, we will regress.
