I was schooled in sekolah kebangsaan from Standard 1 up to Form 5. In my secondary school, English was the common medium even though it is a sekolah kebangsaan. Our teachers basically taught us almost all subjects in English; Bahasa Melayu being the exception. Maybe Pendidikan Moral too, but I can’t remember. But the lingua francain school was English. Everyone spoke English. Yeah… text books were in BM but our teachers spoke in English. My classmates all spoke English. Nobody had any complains. In fact, I’ll be surprised if the Principal walked into our class and started sumbat-ing us in BM.
