Boy Scout camp was a helluva learning experience. Don't look anything straight in the face. Gaze at a 30 degree angle. Astronomy, a mathematics based science, is oddly transferable to Wall Street. Economic forecasters are next to useless now because they can only stare directly at statistics and need too much confirmation for a hypothesis before calling for a recession. Few egg heads ever catch ...

By Feizrul Nor Bin Nurbi I read with interest the ongoing debate regarding PPSMI as published in most dailies' 'Letters to the Editor' section. Perhaps I am stretching it a bit by calling it a debate when it is clear that only one side's arguments are prominent, and they are the views of the proponents of PPSMI.

"Over the period, large increases are seen in students studying clinical and biological sciences, mathematics, physical sciences, and architecture, building and planning. The only subjects to see decreases in the absolute number of students between 2003-04 and 2009-10 are computer science and historical and philosophical studies. Both, however, show increases in the last year."
