Almost all government schools in Malaysia still use blackboards and chalks.

Only when you are in private schools and colleges, you will get to see whiteboards and markers like I did.

What gives you the idea Malaysian school generally use whiteboard and markers?

Also, my aunt who is an English teacher in a government school shared to me that they requested to use whiteboards and markers in the classrooms.

And you know what kind of answer they get?

"Whiteboard markers are hazardous and it may cause cancer....blah..blah..."

It's amazing what kind of answers that some people can come up with.
