I’m puzzle! Every year, the same issues arise; English is PPSMI (Program Pembelajaran Sains & Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris) main purposes but English was never its main objective…

… to some of the trainers.

This would be the fifth year of PPSMI and my second year as a trainer.

Although it was supposedly my third times as a trainer but since last year schedule pack like a sardines, I had to skip it.

This year, I’m back; hoping it will provide a change which I’ve loudly spoken out 3 years ago.

Why pick a trainer who can’t speak a bit of English when the main objective of the programmes was to enhance the use of English.

My hope was dash in the glamorous of the Palace of Golden Horses.

Most of the trainer attended, I would say 60% of them not even planning to do training in English. Some of them were excellent in Soft Skill / Public Speaking but hardly of them wants to try English as a medium.

Not a little bit.

As usual, excuses are the first thing come out from some of them.

I’ll be training in rural area which most of the teachers not even use English as their first language.

As a trainer, you’re the person who delivering the message so stops giving that lames excuses. PPSMI is not just providing a computer skill training its also providing the effort to convey teachers to use English as spoken language during their Mathematic and Science classes.

No wonder, nobody is in favour of PPSMI and try to revert back to PPSMM…

I was really angry by the end of 3 days training. Bunch of selected best trainer is “Malay” spoken person too… and every year it’s the same.

I’m not saying my English is good, but at least I’ve tried!

This is why I’m so racist against my own race!
