It took the PAP Govt forty long years to realise this mistake. During this long tenure of time, how come no other minister in the whole parliament stood up to point out to MM Lee that this bilingual policy has so many faults.Even the opposition MPs had kept mum on this matter all these years, and in the process had lost so many true-bred and talented Singaporeans to immigration.
How many more forty years to lose on other possible mistakes, and making a U turn could be too late as in the case of making Singaporeans to procreate.

5% mother tongue and 95% English, what kind of bilingualism is it?

To put it very simple, the root of our education problem is that the high-handedness, inflexibility, shortsightedness and utilitarian approach of the pap government have made the system so stiflling and rigid.

LHL is not talking to us, Singaporeans.

He is simply trying to tell his father off:

“Don’t fxxk around with my bilingual policy which I have inherited from you!”
