Don't Use Bahasa Malaysia in I.T. language

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math and science?

This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language.  How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school.  See example below:-

Hardware  =  
barangkeras
Software  =  
baranglembut
Joystick  =  
batang gembira
Plug and Play  =  
cucuk dan main
Port  =  
lubang
Server  =  
pelayan
Client  = &n bsp;
pelanggan

Try to translate this:
ENGLISH:
That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick.  The joystick goes into the port of the client.

Now in BAHASA:
Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut.  Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.

Now you know...WHY...
