Well said. It's not that UEC can stop brain drain entirely, but it certainly offers up a relief to the situation by solving it from the bottoms up.

We had English vs 1119 in the SPM level which worked, I wonder if such similar approach can be considered along with solving its difficulties?

But currently, it seems like it will be a loss for our nation & education system. Due to how politicians positioned this (DAP with bad timing, forcing an ultimatum rather than a forum); UMNO / Bersatu / even PKR making it a racial issue does not help.

We shall see in the rounds of chaos, which leader is brave and bright enough to step up and not stir up dust but points to the right direction.

This is oversimplified, but reachable, and funnily somewhat true based on recent events.



Indeed. Your highlight echoes that resolution is discussion and cooperation to make things work, not outright rejection followed by painting it anti-nationalism.

Politician's exposure further turns this into a spiral when the intentions and the starting point is actually progressive; OR at least can be turned into something progressive without affecting nationalism (if some worries about anti-nationalism).

Many blanket suggestions that others gave i.e. Merging / Outright removal does not take into account of things like implementation, logistics, review and governance of the modules or exams, requirements and criterias, or even foreign investments in education or higher education.

Unfortunately, its easy to just paint a short sentence, fill it up with own ideals and blast it out. We can see where the discussion is lacking, and where its focused on.

Until we can have a proper conversation with neutrality and open heart, talks will not work out.
