Muhyiddin: Computer labs to become English language labs

He said the use of technology would be capitalized for enhanced
English teaching and learning in schools and suitable software would
be provided.

The ministry is also studying on possibility of introducing English

was replying to a question from Dr Tan Seng Giaw (DAP-Kepong) in the
Dewan Rakyat today.
