Subject: Why We Use English for IT

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math and science?

 

This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it

will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. 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 client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.

 

Now in BAHASA:

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

pelanggan.

Now you know...WHY...
