Engraaaaaaand Part 2

So, somebody had a revelation about how students don't need to pass English to receive their SPM certs. I mean like wtf?? You dint know??? Dint your nephews and nieces tell you?? Apa la uncle??

And apparently they don't teach English grammar in school, only conversational English. Yes, we are a great society that's teaching our kids to give directions to Mat Sallehs to Petaling Street, to sell the same Mat Sallehs pornos and cheapo watches and ordering "chicken rice" instead of "kai fan" and fried noodles instead of mee goreng.

I seriously never knew that English grammar wasn't being taught in schools. No I dont have nephews and nieces. And to top it all off, we have certain quarters who do not want English to be a compulsory pass in SPM. I cant remember what's-his-face but he is the President for the Movement To Abolish Teaching in English thingy and he said something along the lines of :

If the student passes all the subjects, but not English, then he fails his SPM. He becomes a victim of English colonisation.

How the fuck does someone becomes a "victim" of English "colonisation" if he doesn't pass the paper??? Colonisation?? Really?? If a student can pass all other papers (which he most probably answered in English anyway) then you're telling me he cant fucking pass English??? It doesnt involve calculus, or Newton's Laws, or Boyle's Law, or the fucking ecosystem for god's sake!!!! Colonisation my ass. Please dont use words that are too big for you.

Why are we being retrogressive? Why call for the abolishment of the universal language? How do you expect us to keep up with the world when everything else is in English??? From Facebook to the Internet programmes, ALL English. Your dumbass of an opinion (that's right! I'm calling you a fucking dumbass for having an opinion) is gonna produce generations and generations of people who are gonna have "no face" when it comes to international setting.

These people fucking DISGUST me.
