Yes, but Malay to Malay ok they speak singlay
Chinese to Malay they speaking singlish

Older generation Chinese speak Malay well, but newer generation do not learn Malay as it is an optional language. So their Malay language is restricted to their national service exposure, school crowd or working environment. If they do take Malay as an optional language, then they might be more fluent.

This also is affecting newer generation Malays as their parents speak English more as a home language. So they depend on their optional language subject in school as their only means of speaking Malay.

Some of my Malay colleagues kids don't speak conversational Malay at all other than the common words included in their vocabulary.

Actually I can tell u the pure Chinese for the young generation
They really dunno more than 10 Malays speaking.

I hated Malays that cant speak Malay(either baku or pasar or state dialect).

...In a way, I still do. I'm just less vocal about it.

luckily they can't speak well in malay

if not, habis

Working was fine, if normal talking will be best on singlish

Actually Chinese to Chinese if you met them in kampung, do you still chat v them seriously?

Same as Singaporen lah.

For example:
A. Hey bro what are you doing there?
B. Yup bro I sibei song ah...
A. why bro you song?
B. Cause my lanpa song...

singapore's language class other than english is kinda bad. For example i have a friend who complete Chinese language o-level and he got B with it. The result is he can't even speak chinese properly. Then we ask how could he get B.... he said they can bring dictionary inside the exam hall and they can cheat. Also their chinese o-level is like our Form 1 standard.

I used to know a handful. That's quite a lot considering one usually expect to see them in large cities and not in a small town of Jerlun. Their parents grew up on Malay language but refused to converse in Malay at home with their children.

Maybe they wanted their kids to focus on only English due to fear of their kids not being able to use the language well. Maybe thosr kids somehow got this impression that Malay is some kind of pariah language. Who knows.

The fact that I was raised by a low-rank cop and a housewife who didnt finish school, yet still managed to get a decent grasp on this language used to gave me some sort of superiority complex against people I used to call 'Melayu Murtad'. However,I stopped giving a shit.

U r wrong , only Malay = Malaysian
Outside of Malay just call them Muslim
