Just pay them and they will kaotim for you la.

Bm what la.. biggest mistake she make is not bringing a local.

Low class problem - can easily be fix with money.

Everytime police stop me- i say i cant speak bm- throw few notes - free.

Life is really easy here.

When in reality, it's those who speak that wants tongsan to come here and buy land, because they support orang kito in a land far away while tongsan ships encroaching our EEZ buat tatau.

As can be seen in the discussion so far, it's difficult sometimes to have a discussion on what are requirements that were imposed by little napoleons versus our legal rights.

Aiyoh TS dunno dumb & deaf ke ?

Many tamilians don't speak hindi yo, and northerners don't speak tamil.

What is the yindia national language? Yinglish?

Yeah, buat2 OKU, manatau they then get someone who knows sign language, then can we say we only sign in American Standard Sign language and not local BM sign language?

There is no national language in India la.

Basic can already

Weird excuse anyway because Singapore syllabus also got Bahasa. Takkan TS so special until didn't learn Bahasa in Singapore.

thats how you keep Bahasa Melayu alive.
if all government office allow you to deal with foreign language, then people dont find necessary need to learn it. besar suara sikit pon terasa, hati tisu betul. alot of time gomen officer being rude also because their customer are rude in first place, cuba cakap baik2 in reduced tone, you may get treated differently.

this situation is not exclusive to malaysia.

Then how? Body language and international language? No wonder bollywood actors & actresses so hot and the movie so much fight scenes la there - joking ya - don't flame me.

Got Bahasa in syllabus doesn’t mean can speak. Also learning Bahasa is optional in SG syllabus. The requirement is learning one mother tongue which can be BM/Chinese/Tamil etc

Case in point - Malaysia. Here every kid also have to learn Bahasa but it’s evident some cant speak right. So if live in Singapore even la worse.

Also most Singaporeans have shitty BM. I even realise many of them don’t even know what’s they’re singing in their national anthem.

Last time i went to make passport also got issue like this. The son cannot speak malay, mom said he is shy shy tan. Stucked so long, then finally he said nama saya bla bla bla. Really is true situation at imigresen but not sure if TS is cool story or not.

I don't know about Singapore syllabus - but I doubt they can even speak basic Malay, the most they know is the lyrics in the national anthem. I don't think they can carry a conversation in Malay there.

Don't forget, the Lee family are actually peranakans, that is why they can speak Malay, but I don't think the next gen can speak Malay.

Regional language la.

U can see MP in Indian parliament speaking their own regional languages. Language in India is sensitive. Southern will not accept Hindi and northern trying to Hindi the whole nation lol

I agree with you. Idk where people get this notion that Singaporeans can converse in basic Malay.

This is very untrue lol.

Not really, most of the new ones get epf like in private. not to mention they're contracted

Just learn a bit la. Not very difficult pun.

Some places u r expected to speak Malay

Most Singaporean Malay also struggle to speak in Bahasa. Mostly use it to speak to their grandparents or their parents I think

no wonder Msia is corrupted, u help create more low class prob. lulz

Oh yeah I think I should point out that learning Bahasa is optional.

Singapore syllabus requires you to learn a mother tongue. That can be either BM or Chinese or Tamil.

So not necessarily you’ll learn BM
