ENGLISH IS NOT A THREAT

Unlike those who oppose, I found it to be a good news to hear that English subject to be a compulsory subject to past in order for students to obtain their SPM certificate. Most people concern that it might affect students from rural areas chances to obtain their certificate. However, one must look at the bright sight of it. The idea of making English compulsory will bring Malaysian a step forward in facing this challenging world. If we are too scared to adopt this idea just because it 'might' affect students in rural areas, just imagine what will happen to them in next ten years from now? And how would they face this challenging world? Opposing this particular idea would make students in rural areas to be left behind. And the question is, are we going to let that situation happen. Furthermore, , it is not a reason not to adopt this idea on the ground that making English a must-past subject to be a factor that make a Malaysian less patriotic. Since English has it mark globally, learning it will be beneficial to all parties as it is a means to compete internationally. One who speaks English does not mean he is less loyal to the country. And, as Raja Zarith Sofiah, Patron of Malaysian English Teaching Association said, “When it comes to English, we must forget politics and nationalism and look at it as a language that could steer us ahead economically.”
