Malaysians Encourage Kids to Watch TV - AP
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Who says television is bad for children? Not the Malaysian government.
The Education Ministry is urging schoolchildren to watch more English-language television programs — even cartoons — as part of a new strategy to improve their English, news reports said Wednesday.
The New Straits Times and The Star newspaper said a poor grasp of English has resulted in only average test scores in science and mathematics, which are taught in English.
"We cannot dismiss the role of television," ministry Director-General Ahmad Sipon was quoted as saying. "It is important. Students should watch more television, especially educational English programs such as Animal Planet."
Ahmad said students should turn on the television, even to watch cartoons, to learn better English.

Well. they wanted it, they got it.
Malaysian were english educated up to the time the smart Bumiputra elite decided that all schools should teach in Bahasa Melayu.
Now, most of the young people do not speak english and well, do not know much about anything.
Too late, no of course, just a generation they sacrificed to stupidity...
