Maths and Science in English or BM?

I told my brother (taking SPM this year, 2011);

Me: Ok lah, lepas ni belajar kalau belajar account lagi guna Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position lah pulak...
Him: Ape tu?
Me: err, Income statement dgn Balance sheet lah...
Him: Hah? Ape awk ckp ni.... Ape tu?
Me: ??? crap...

We, struggled learning account in English as soon as we enrolled ourselves into colleges and now they are switching even Maths & Science subjects into Malay again? I mean BM meant no harm, but it may harm these kids, us kids to learn everything all over again. It's gonna be tough. Maths and Science even has loads of it's own terms as well, gosh, have mercy people. At least, the very least of Maths and Science, please leave them be in English... It's quite hard for my brother and sister to be switching from English to malay then later to English again... Even if we learn in English, I don't think we're going to forget our mother tongue language anyway, it's in us, in our blood.. how could we forget? :(

Though this issue is pretty outdated, but still it's an issue since it came up today in my life :)
