DPM sees English as an important requirement if the young wish to excel.
CYBERJAYA: A new policy is on the cards to make English a compulsory subject, besides Bahasa Melayu, for students to pass at Malaysia’s public universities.
Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also the Education Minister, said he had discussed the matter with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak about a week ago, the details of which would be announced later.
“Basic knowledge is not enough for graduates if they don’t have the ability to communicate and write in English.
“Companies will have a certain benchmark. They want people who are not only qualified, but people who will be able to be the ambassador, who can communicate to the rest of the world and one of the important requirements is the ability to communicate in English,” he said.
Muhyiddin said this at the launching of the Second Cyberjaya Graduate Employability Enabler (CGEE 2), held yesterday.
