I kinda disagree, my privileges as a Malaysian are not determined by whether I know BM or not, if I am a citizen, then I should be able to get a passport, an IC, etc.

Do IRB tax me based on my knowledge of BM (no because the tax laws are not made like that, same argument - is passport/IC eligibility based on mastery of BM or based on citizenship/PR status?)? If govt can tax me, then govt should provide services due to me as a taxpayer and citizen.

Don't confound requirements for getting naturalised/citizenship with services due to a citizen. I am already a citizen. I know and speak BM adequately, many buyers of items I sold are surprised I am not Malay when we meet up. Over the phone only know I am non when I don't reply the aunty no husband greeting.

Can someone find in Immigration website saying passport applicants need to demonstrate adequate BM mastery if they are already citizen?

This is what I hate, little napoleons implementing their own rules in providing services to those who are entitled to it, because if someone can come up with their own requirements - don't blame when those who come up with their own reasoning not to pay tax la, not to do this la, don't follow traffic rules la, etc etc.

Again, you confound what might happen with what is already the law now, you cannot strip a person of Malaysian citizenship for not knowing the national language. Future we don't know.

A guy voicing out his opinion is not law.

mana tau she already got PR but she very patriotic dun want to let go of citizenship and want to continue contribute money to the country leh

ohwai

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.

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?

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.

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.

Inb4 the nons in Sg that speak BM was actually born Malaysian and work there or converted, kek.

hngggh!

Dude, you know he is peranakan no? BM could be his second language after English. His BM could be even better than his Mandarin or hokkien. But I doubt PM Lee's children can speak BM.
