Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he hoped a decision on whether the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in English can be reintroduced or otherwise can be made next year.
Following that, he said the cabinet would determine whether PPSMI will be reintroduced or decide to maintain the teaching of the two subjects in the national language. "I cannot make the decision, it must be made by the cabinet. So, we’re now preparing a paper for consideration by the cabinet as to whether we will have PPSMI back or maintain the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in the national language,” he told the media when asked about the matter in Langkawi today.
Prior to this, Mahathir had said that a cabinet committee had been formed to study the matter due to objections from the public on the reintroduction of PPSMI.
