Malaysiakini: Learning in English makes me lesser Malaysian?

Now, before I am lambasted for being a 'lesser patriot', let me just say that no one is disputing Bahasa Melayu as the national language to begin with. Likewise, I believe learning science and mathematics in English is no way an act of betrayal to the national language. In fact, forsaking the Malaysia's ability to compete in the developed world is the mother of all betrayals.
