PM worried about mother tongue

[commoner]

Just saw LHL speaking for Bargain Hen over mother tongue fiasco.

Looks like he is more concerned about the coming election than the country's well-being. Economy don't care, FT don't care, almost every event he cannot be cocerned, but mother tongue, speak with Bargain Hen on CNA.

A distraction?

Anyway he still speaks like having balls in his mouth.

By Clarissa Oon

THE teaching of mother tongue languages remains a vital feature of Singapore's education system, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday.

He issued a brief statement in the wake of strong reactions to Education Minister Ng Eng Hen's recent comments that the weighting given to mother tongue languages in the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) may be cut.

Mr Lee said: 'I know many Singaporeans, including pupils, parents and teachers, are concerned about the Government's plans for the teaching of mother tongues in schools, and especially at PSLE.

Ex-933 DJ & now Mass Comm lecturer Yang Jun Wei was among those sought for feedback.

The teaching of mother tongue in education system is oxymoron. If it's mother tongue, it needn't be taught through schools. It's learned from mother and family. The agenda is political, not educational. To keep distinct percentages of groups under Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. How many Chinese really has Mandarin as mother tongue? How many Indians really have Tamil as mother tongue?
