Dear Parents and Children Who Support PPSMI,
Our Prime Minister who champions 1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now, has explicitly put aside the idea of a single stream school because the rakyat is not ready for it.
He also acknowledges that the education system for Malaysia is politicised.
He wrote, "Over the years and at almost in every instance, the issue of the ideal education system for Malaysia is politicised. As the Prime Minister for all Malaysians, I view that all of us must find equilibrium. Let us all be reminded that at the end of the day, the crux of the issue is ensuring that our future generations, our future leaders, are able to obtain the best education system. We must make that leap into a knowledge- and innovation-based economy."
He is also seeking response/discussion on his blog on the issue of education.He will be chairing a Special Cabinet Meeting on Friday, so please respond to his blog (link below).
Remember, your first sentence is the most important sentence. Start positively with what you want:
1 SK/SMK(SMI) Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris; OR
2 Continue PPSMI in our school.
Do not forget to ask each and every child to respond too. We must respond before Friday. Let him hear the voice of the rakyat on this.
Please forward this email to as many pro-PPSMI parents as possible.
Best Regards

PETALING JAYA: Malaysians have to collectively agree upon an education system that benefits all and which espouses the values that they uphold, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
“I have heard many who called for a switch to a single-stream system as a way to promote greater unity and integration among Malaysians,” Najib said in his blog on Monday.
He also said he knew many who felt strongly for the right to choose based on the existing education system. “Are we prepared to shun the right to choose and seek a compromise?”
Hmm...
PPSMI pasti akan berjaya kalau setiap anak dilatih dengan BI sebagai bahasa pertama (bukan bahasa kedua). Maknanya, ia bermula sejak lahir (termasuk mendodoi anak juga dalam BI). Tapi itu tidak akan dilakukan oleh majoriti orang. Melayu dgn BM, Cina dan India dengan dialek masing-masing.
PPSMI hanya akan memberi manfaat kepada golongan ini (yang menjadikan BI sebagai bahasa pertama). Sebab itulah mereka beria-ria mempertahankan PPSMI kerana ia menguntungkan anak-anak mereka. Mereka berlindung disebalik kononnya ini agenda yang perlu diperjuangkan demi anak-anak Malaysia, demi masa depan negara.
Penggubal-penggubal polisi tentunya akur tentang perkara ini.
SK Perempuan Methodist Ipoh (MGS), through a parents' meeting on 31 October 2009, voted on PPSMI and 85.54% of the parents who voted were in favour of having the policy retained in their school.
The PTA will now take the mandate to the Minister of Education and a copy will be sent to PAGE.
Vice-Chairman,PIBG
PAGE met with Tan Sri Professor Emeritus Khoo Kay Kim who enlightened us on his views of the controversial single stream school.
