Whether SPM students be forced to pass English to obtain SPM certificate

The Education Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin asked for the opinions and suggestions of Malaysian public on whether SPM students should pass English in the exam in order to get SPM certificate.

It is opined that this policy should not be implemented within these few years, instead the Education Ministry should try its best to enhance the proficiency of English among Malaysian pupils, students and undergraduates.

After the standards of English of pupils, students and undergraduates being raised, then we can make it compulsory for the students to pass English in the SPM examination. Or else, it will not be fair to pupils and students living outskirts, who most probably have no chance to speak, listen, read and write English.
