Why we use English for IT?

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for Maths 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 examples 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.

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...
