She's right. Should focus on malay to unite everyone. That's our national language and should be given priority. Why we need bahasa penjajah? We need to master our national language so no one speaks English. We should be like Japan and Korea, they speak their own language yet so successful.

Unfortunately Malay lang is in the reverse route keep borrowing English words and loosing its identity. What's more there was proposal you can get fine if used wrongly. Lol

Again with Japan and Korea

They are not successful because of their language

They are successful because they are able to export / promote interest into their culture with their language

It’s already very difficult to make changes now. This should have started right after 1969 with the abolition of vernacular schools. At this point it’s too late to change especially as the NON population is also getting smaller and smaller. Another big problem is that people here don’t share the same culture or hobbies. Unlike Thailand, Japan or Korea where most people speak the same language and like the same singers and artists but our people have very different interests.

We must all talk and use Malay all the time.

But when we buy stuff, we must buy white people stuff.

The best age to learn a language: What the research says The critical period hypothesis (CPH) is one of the most well-known. CPH says that to learn a language to a native level, you must start learning it before you're nine years old. These first nine years are the critical age for learning a language.

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, or linguistic relativity, proposes that the structure of a language influences a speaker's perception of the world and their thought processes. It exists in strong (language determines thought) and weak (language influences or shapes thought) versions, with the latter being more widely accepted, suggesting that language provides frameworks for understanding reality but doesn't completely limit them.
