Movement To Stage Gathering Outside Istana Negara

The Movement Opposing the Teaching of Science and Mathematics in English (GMP) has assured the police that a mammoth gathering being planned outside Istana Negara on March 7 will be non-violence.

"We have yet to obtain a police permit but we believe it will be approved as it will be a peaceful gathering," its chairman, Emeritus Prof Dr Abdullah Hassan told reporters here today.

National laureate Datuk A. Samad Said said the implementation of the policy contravened Article 152 (1) and 152 (6) of the Federal Constitution on the useof Bahasa Melayu for all.

"We are not opposing the use of English in the pursuit of knowledge but are upholding what is enshrined in the constitution on the use of Bahasa Melayu to unite the people," he said.

GMP committee member Ainon Mohd said the implementation of the policy did not justify the teaching and learning of English as a language.She said to improve the command of English among students, the government should provide every school with an English laboratory while enhancing teachers' English teaching skills.

Aduhai.. Tau la kau sasterawan negara.. Tapi kalau ye pun, takkan lah dangkal sangat pemikiran sampai cakap Bahasa Melayu akan lenyap.. Jangan risau lah.. Banyak lagi orang macam kau yang nak cakap BM sampai mati..
