Errr...did you read the whole article? She said English is important. But so is our national language.

As if BM is merely an optional subject in our primary and secondary schools.

But BM is a compulsory subject and we learned it for at least 11 years.

During my Form 5, some Chinese and Indians consistently outscored the Malays in BM, till our BM teacher held a 'chat' with the Malay students in our class. If they expect us to write the "bahasa berbunga-bunga", that's very hard for us to do because we are non-native speaker of BM.

BM is our national language and I respect that. But we have to be practical as well. Truth is the application of BM is very limited in business and science. Not only its usage, the vocabulary is limited as well. I would say the peoples who refuse to recognize the importance of English or refuse to learn a third language are also ignorant as well. They'll complain after refused employment by the private sector and end up leeching in government agencies.

Many of them will say the Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, French, Germans, Russians are successful without English. Mind you that the Malaysian heritage, work ethic, culture and history are very different than those countries. Are we one of the kuasa besar dunia? What we have to offer to the world till they have to learn BM to master it?

Guess the writer is one of the many who are impressed by Banglas' ability to speak BM fluently in six months and ready to share his/her tongkat with Banglas.

Ignorant Buffon, the writer is. Out National Language is Bahasa Malaysia, not Bahasa Melayu. Now go dai.

Lol why u talking about going overseas?
Did you not learn English in Malaysia?
What is the problem for learning our national language?
No need to be superb at it, just enough to converse with kampung people or when go mamak etc..
BM is widely use in Malaysia, so what the fuss.
Even all sciences subject in school is taught in english nowadays. In university too, except UKM.

Topkek all the people talking about this like it is a big issue.
Nobody stopping you to learn any language you want to.
But BM is our national language, and majority of citizen can converse in BM.
So what is the problem?

welcome to england language land!!

here another idiot. national language, so? not like can bring u anywhere....

so far only govr companies still backward use BM.


others fully english or english+ mandarin or english + others(depending on origin country of the company)

Any language is important. The more the merrier. Heck I just used BM couple days ago in an Indonesian grocery shop here in taipei since the shop fellas Chinese was incomprehensible.

thats the truth

i actually agree with this. just treat it like learning an extra language lah, apa susah?

i dont understand why some of u are talking about using BM overseas, practicality and what not. ego itu tolong simpan sikit, hokey?

Fa Abdul = fucked up writer.
