AMID the current polemics between the proponents of the Dual Language Programme (DLP) and the Bahasa Malaysia nationalists, I would like to weigh in and give my support to Datin Noor Azimah’s comprehensive argument in “A bilingual option for students”, (The Star, Feb 29).
As rightly pointed out, the DLP is an optional programme where the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) and the principals are given the choice by the Education Ministry to opt for or stay out of it. On top of that, the schools must perform above average in Bahasa Malaysia before they are allowed to embark on the DLP.
