Some of my Chinese friend in my circle

Mostly banana and doesn’t speak a single mandarin but fluent with Cantonese

Pathetic, they seems to have forgotten their roots

U seems.....

Other people punya life,
TS butthurt sampai buka tered.

hidup tak tenang kawan2 tak pandai mandarin

根部深入地下，就像韭菜一样。

if they can speak Cantonese but not Mandarin.

thn they are not banana sei fucking sohai

FYI.
Malaysia Chinese ancestors doesn't speak Mandarin.
Mandarin is only learn in schools.
And just recently becomes important, cause of its commercial value for Non-CCP people.

U and your frens are charsiew

Nope, according to some wumao here you are a banana if you can't speak Mandarin and read/write simplified Chinese. Even if you speak any other Chinese dialects fluently and can read/write traditional Chinese you are still a banana.

Canto >> Mandarin

Topkek

good for them, means they not plagued by douyin and xhs those videos

iC Tolong bagi balik and balik china.

Our ancestors don't speak mandarin when they come here if you don't even know your roots then pls take out IC and cut it.

We don't need you here k thx bye

kek the only person that forgotten roots is you. SEA chinese are from southern part of china where the majority isn't even mandarin speaking.

Older generation mid life Gen Y millennials yes. They attended SK schools back then when China was still Communist closed up country.

Back then even upto mid 200x, China just recently emerged from slumber. Where got people speak Mandarin so widely like today. Depending on which city in Malaysia they only learn how to speak Chinese through casual conversation with family and friends.

i got 2 impressions

some banana can understand mandarin,
probably able to speak it as well.
but refuse to entertain or use it.
always default English language model.
with either a crappy american west coast accent or singlish accent
never c or m. go mamak maybe say SATU or AIR

1 - you have a right to not communicate in c. maybe ur not confident in c.
i understand, continue on in english. layan saje

2 - macam look down on c. c low class. kind of vibe.

Why busy body ?

They malu to speak because not fluent and scared being insulted.

Got still bank officers/manyzers I met before only spoke Hokkien to me when I tried engaging conversation with them in Mandarin.

It is normal for millennials, Gen-X and boomers in this country including the Chinese diaspora in SG, Australia and even USA.

Many successful CEOs also like that can only speak in dialects which is used in the place where they grew up and English.

ts sohai, cantonese IS their roots

Or Hokkien.

Correct. If penang, hokkien
