I was born 48 years ago and I was the last batch to sit for the LCE, MCE and HSC examinations. Those who are now above 55 years old, sat for the Malaysian Cambridge examination and those born after 1962 were just unlucky - they got the SRP, SPM and STPM.

Speaking English doesn't make you less Malay, less Chinese, less Indian or even less Malaysian for that matter. I'm a better person today thanks to the Lord and because of my parents who sent me to an English-medium school although they received lots of negative remarks from many who just don't want to see progress.
