Double post

I try to do "maintenance work" on my Bahasa on a fairly regular basis by looking for books to buy and read every time I am back in Malaysia.

Tried to make it a point to read one Bahasa book every two months, but nowadays, it is more like one book every six months.... 

Even in Hong Kong, I have several small books to keep me company, and a couple of "school level" reference books that I enjoy browsing through every now and then to put a knife sharpening rod to my makin lama makin teruk Bahasa levels....



I have several more Bahasa books and novels back in Malaysia that I have to lug over to HK next time I am back.

The Chinese already migrated here since the 1800s, if most of them cannot speak Bahasa at all then how do they survived here until this very day in 2020?

And if you and your extremist kind still wanna cherry pick to insist each and every Chinese here to be able to speak Bahasa well, then as I had said before; please ensure each Malay boys and girls to pass the Bahasa exams in schools first.

Malu tu dibawa diri sendiri. Hormat pula diberikan oleh orang.

yeap unpatriotic is right, a good word thats neutral. and its ok. not everyone need to be patriotic, you can try to instill it but forcing it just feels kinda eeky.

but sometimes cant blame them, sometimes its not that they hate the country but language is something that you need to practice and use daily. and they dont have the chance to use it.

I would call them unpatriotic. But since they are born in Malaysia, citizenship is their birth right.

Not talking about tongsan.

You don't understand Malaysia is a multiracial multicultural multireligious nation? What other languages have YOU learned beside hiding behind the label "kebangsaan"/"national"? And you call yourself Malaysian, living in a multicultural multiracial multireligious society? You expect others to know and learn your language to be able to communicate with you. But you do not want to learn and know their language to communicate with them if they don't know yours. And rather than acknowledging that, you hide behind the label "kebangsaan"/"national" as an excuse the other side must learn your language but you don't need to learn theirs?

Since you keep asking everyone about this, may i know what other language that you have learned other than the national language and the language you were born with?

Then good for you. I'm a chinese who knows English, Malay, Cantonese, Mandarin (not so good but passable)

I'm proud to be Malaysian as well and also able to speak Bahasa Kebangsaan. Problem here is since when did this "you dunno national language you dun deserve to be called malaysian" started? Please tell me, who is more Malaysian- A person who doesn't speak bm but put in honest work and pays his taxes and lived honestly compared to another whose bm so power until can bersajak berpuisi but steals, robs, kill and cheat? Who is more deserving to be called Malaysian here?

Unfortunately no, I didn't have the opportunity to learn tamil. But its kinda cool if I can know tamil.

Whichever bahasa cina that you can speak to the cina guy. Can be cantonese, hokkien, teochow, mandarin. Your point is?

multicultural multiracial have nothing to do with not be able to
speak. malay

you go to usa.. they are more multicultural tha us

but all people speak english

how to unite if everybody dont understand each other??

I'm not the one jumping at others they are unpatriotic or not deserve to be Malaysians if they don't know BM, so why am I being questioned? You should ask those who demands others to learn their language yet made no effort to learn other languages themselves while hiding behind the "kebangsaan"/"national" label.

Anyways, if you really want to know:

I also did say I didn't had the opportunity to learn tamil

Hahahha. God damn ini cakap pusing level najib. Hahahha

You expect others to know and learn your language to be able to communicate with you. But you do not want to learn and know their language to communicate with them if they don't know yours. And rather than acknowledging that, you use the label "kebangsaan"/"national" as though only 1 language can be allowed to be used here in Malaysia.
