I think every Malaysian should know english, malay, mandarin and tamil. I mean, we've lived alongside each other for more than 50 years. Maybe these 4 languages should be compulsory subjects in school. We wouldn't bicker about the usage of language anymore.

Why? They choose the national language whithout really taking into consideration the racial makeup of the country, the history of the country, and the economics of our country, the reason why BM is the sole national language in Malaysia is because the malay nationalists wanted to shove their power down everyone's throat.

I agree that it is important to know BM, since a large number of malaysians are only able to speak BM, but saying that one should learn BM just because it is the national language is really fucking stupid.

Wait, then that's not much different from mexican immigrants in the US?
But i thought even mexican immigrants there need to speak English.

There are tons of mexicans in the US that doesn't speak english, and the governments there are actually adopting to the situation by hiring more staff that speak spanish, and the businesses there are also starting to use more spanish to cater to the spanish speaking population. FYI, america doesn't have an official language.

Also, it is completely different from the mexicans in america situation, the mexicans went to America when America was already a established country with a long history and its own culture. The Chinese and indians were in Malaysia even before malaysia was a thing, and they came during the time when English was the language of government, not malay. That only changed after the malay nationalists gained power.

What if we make learning all the 4 languages in Malaysia as compulsory instead, but malay remains as the national language. So if Malaysians are able to grasp all the languages properly, including English, the issue of malay being the national language will not be a problem? Since it does not tamper with one's ability to converse and comprehend English.

Mexican immigrants are inferior people. So they need to learn US English, language of superior people. Superior races in Malaysia need not learn Malay, language of inferior people. They need only learn English, language of superior people.

On a national level, that makes little sense. Malaysia is not apart of the US, therefore superior and inferior terms cannot be equally compared.

no, i prefer the singapore approach, everyone learns english and their mothertongue, choosing another language is optional. 4 language is too much. but I won't oppose it if they change the current system to everyone learning all 4 languages.

The chances of English being the official language of Malaysia seem too far fetched. The second option has a higher possibility though, if we push for it hard enough.

Dunno why DAP so bodo these days, they already have the upper hand, why waste energy bagi bullet to UMNO?

Talk about arrogance.
So?

Why the sudden move? Even if they can use it doesnt mean we should too.

We are talking about not giving reasons for people to be manipulated by these dumb issues, u think the media wont use this as solid reason to represent DAP stand about MALAY heritage?

We dont need these cheap stunts lah, they all too bored ka talking about people issue? They should do their work and start discussing about peoples issue and dont waste time asking why others can or cannot do.

Stop pointing at insignificant things THAT HAVE NO REASON TO BE RAISED, and just wasting time at the parliament.

Sad situation we are in now.

This speaks loudly.
No doubt about that, just a matter of time.
