Hi, I would like to take suggestions from fellow lowyat members.

Long story short, I've never been fond of Malay language and my understanding for it has been below average, which gave me a terrible SPM scores (1 A, 1 B, 2 C+, 3C, 1 D, 2 E) with my only A being exactly, my english. My struggles for Malay studies have been a pain to deal with so I have been hoping to advance to English universities, when I got out of SPM I was so excited to apply for colleges because I get to have english studies, but my passion for IT was too strong (it just occured that my Math got a D) so I was denied by every colleges to study IT. I was eventually given minor number of choices to study IT including APU (Business IT) and Swinburne (Foundation in IT) but my family's financial has been facing issues lately with the universities I mentioned being highly expensive. Without a choice, I eventually surrendered and applied for form 6, because I was excited to know that ICT was bilingual subject in form 6 and are mainly in English. To be fair, I wasn't actually qualified to study ICT in form 6 either because they also have a "MUST HAVE MATH CREDIT" rules applied, but I managed to convince my way to a class with Economics, Geography, ICT, General Knowledge (Pengajian AM) and MUET. Sadly, MUET, also mainly known as English, does not apply to Form 6 CGPA, that makes 3 out of my 4 subjects being in Malay. What pains me more is that my ICT teacher also mainly uses Malay materials and language to teach us because malay students outnumbers us chinese students (only three including me, while the other two are good at Malay). So far I have spent two weeks in Form 6 and it has been really awful to me, I could barely understand my teachers and I kept dozing off because I find it difficult to focus at things I don't have an idea of.

That being said, can anyone give me a valuable suggestions? Should I proceed and yolo anyways with Form 6, or make an alternative route out of my study plans?

Sorry, even though I said 'long story short' it still seemed long. Thank you if you took your time reading this article

I entered a chinese primary school where the main language was Chinese, and my secondary school era (consisting of five years) mains Malay. It is in fact ironic how five years of learning the language yet I am still weak at it.

Sadly, I am from Art Streams, I did know that most subjects in Science stream were in english.

And no, I wish this had something to do with study. I scored C+ with my BM during SPM not because I understand the language but I understood the formulas and ways of writing their essays and Q&A using simple malay tatabahasa. It is quite different when it comes to studying something using malay language, because you learn about different subjects which are deep and complex, which involves deeper use of Malay. You do understand how ridiculous they can do by translating english words into complicated stuff in their language? Example includes Netherlands being called Belanda (I struggled remembering this for Sejarah).
