IT Tidak Relevan Diajar Dalam Bahasa Melayu

Why Dr. Mahathir insists on using English for math and science. Because globally people use the language as information and/or technology language at this moment. How dangerous it is if we were to use these words in Bahasa, especially in schools. See example below.

• hardware = barangkeras
• software = baranglembut
• joystick = batang gembira
• plug and play = cucuk dan main
• port = lubang
• server = pelayan
• client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH :
"That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client."

BAHASA :
"Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan."
