Reverting Science and Mathematics to Sains dan Matematik

I started my schooling life as a Malaysian having all my subjects taught in Malay except for English. Many years after leaving school, I heard that Sains dan Matematik had been revised to be taught in English. Today, browsing through my news feeds, I found out that it's back to Malay for these subjects again. I'm at a lost as to why our leaders could shift from one language over another just like that? Education is really important.

Lately, I've noticed that many important Malay words were forgotten and simply replaced by Malay-ed English. One such recent one was our annual Bajet. I was taught that it really was Belanjawan during my school days. Sigh...
