Operators of Buses to LCC-T --> A Nuisance

Have been thinking about blogging on this issue for quite some time.... As many of you know, I lived quite near KL Sentral, so have been using KL Sentral very frequently.

Guess all of you who passed by KL Sentral would always caught a sight of a bunch of people (perhaps I should say 2 bunch of people) who keep on shouting to get attention of those who carry bags. One bunch in Red and one bunch in yellow, and try to yell to get people to take their bus. Really can't understand, why can't they do it a little more civilized manner. After all, it is one of our main terminal in Malaysia.

This practice has gone on for so long, and I don't see any authority taking action on that. It is just tarnishing the image of Malaysia. Seeing how foreign tourist being hackled to take their bus. It is just not logical.

The two bunch of people, I am going to name it out right - Sky Bus and Aero Bus which operate to LCC-T. True that you guys are serving the market to bring passengers to LCC-T, and charge a pretty competitive rate. However, the behavior to the public is just simply unacceptable. It is not the right way to promote Malaysia.

Hope that those who read about this, and have seen/experienced it, please please highlight it out and hopefully this problem can get solved.

English Language to teach Maths and Sciences

What language should Maths and Sciences be taught? What would be the best policy? Should our country allow the teachers the freedom to choose? Should primary school students' Maths and Sciences be reverted to mother tounge?

How about for Secondary School? What is the benefit of learning Maths and Sciences in English? Help the students to learn English better? I seriously doubt so. However, having the foundation of Maths and Sciences in English would help students seek help and look for reference and reduce the effects when students go to universities.

My opinion would be for students to learn it bilingual for primary school, but for secondary school, it should be done fully in English. For primary and secondary school, efforts should be made to strengthen the language command. Would literature help? Should students be encouraged to read more? Can the rural folks cope? Are the teachers well-trained to do so? How about the students' motivation? Would the students be encouraged or discouraged to speak English by their peers?

A more important question, is learning English crucial? Can our Malay language or Mandarin be as important? Isn't it that developed nations like France, Germany, Japan, Korea have a developed status for their language. Can our national language be so?
