One thing I felt very disappointed with Malay S’pore is their kids generation don’t speak Malay. They may understand when their elders speak to them but they’ll reply in English. Few more generation their heritage will be gone if don’t preserve. I kena praise before that my Malay much better than their kids

English is mandatory in South Korea, China and Japan from Grade 3 onwards.
But many can't speak or write properly cos they don't have any use for it in their daily lives.
