To those countries, English is foreign language that is rarely used in daily life becoz everyone speak only local language. SG Malay parents should still be speaking BM and hence it is not as foreign as English to Jipunis.
I used to sit down lim teh tkss with this SG malay family.
Father 16y my senior
Son 1, 10y my junior (not his eldest)
Son 2, 8y my junior
At the round table, me(cina)/dad speaks BM, dad/sons speaks English, son/son speaks English, me/sons speaks English. Dad/mum speaks BM & English.
Can the children speak BM, yes they can
Daughters, never met them in person. Whenever I visit their home, they will be in the room. Mum, just say hello no hand shake. Did that gesture on first met and respectfully placed her palm on her chest nodding. Yes, all tudung.
Education, Yes, all local uni grads and in public services
Yes they observe all solats and very well mannered. A nice family 👍🏻
