UKM was setup with the main intention of using BM as its main teaching language. This was back when UM was still using English and UPM did not yet exist in its current form.

erm... what's wrong if they are using bm? Changing language for Sc n math to english at school is one of the failure project from what i know

BM is not adequate as a language for use in science and math, especially globally when BM speaking countries are lagging in the field of science and technology. Mostly because BM in its current form is still a new language and we have sucky technical translators.

I was told by friends in UKM and UPM few years back that they had to do double work - submit same assignment/report in both BM and BI.
BM for lecturer to mark (cos their BI not too good) and BI for record keeping.
Which is plain dumb if you ask me.
