We had one of the best education system with bragging rights. Nowhere; not even in Singapore can a parent have four choices to choose from.Nobody is forbidding Malays from choosing to have their children educated in English, Chinese Malay or Tamil. This is unique and we should be proud we have it.

In Malaysia, everything is viewed from the racial lens. It is the root of all evils and why things can or cannot happens.

Malaysia's and the developing world's education system failures are the product of looking to the West too often for solutions when it is the West (the UK in Malaysia' case) that is the root of all Malaysia's educational problems.

Chicken Korma, Bolehland's education is more Hindian than English, extremely few Bolehlander had English taught as she is spake in the old mother country, there's but a variety of weird permutations of Hinglish with funny accents brought to you by those creatures of the subcontinent with hilarious accents and even more hilarious head movements, bizarre arm/hand gestures and body language.

Chicken Korma, everything about your Hinglish is "old school", you very definitely write the way the old generations of Bolehland were taught by those subcontinental wonders imported to distort our poor bastards who otherwise could have been fluid with their English, Holy Chapati!

For one such disciple of those Hindian gurus of Hinglish, one can absolutely smell fcuking curry in all your mentally-disturbed frothing at the mouth!
