U know some banggala can speak better Bahasa Malaysia after few month of staying in Malaysia. Pundek that claim Malaysian stay in Malaysia but cannot speak even broken Bahasa Malaysia is  just a farking disgrace.

Tatau malu ke

I quote the late Tun Sammy Vellu
"Ini perkara banyak memalukan saya. Sebenarnya, kemaluan saya sangat sangat besar"

Konlampon can, I have 2 friend who can speak mandarin and mandarin only, nothing else ... idup lagi that 2 fello.

Both running their own business.

Have some shame, if you are going to live in a country for more than a few years, learn the local language. Its fine id you don't master it, but should be good enough to have simple conversations.

Penguasaan bahasa Melayu yang lemah akan menyebabkan kesulitan pelbagai urusan terutamanya kerana ia adalaha bahasa rasmi negara dan digunakan sebagai bahasa pengantar di pejabat2 kerajaan.

Sama sahaja di negara2 maju yg asing seperti di Amerika, Jerman, Jepun, Korea Etc.

Amerika adalah negara yg dibina ratusan juta immigran dari pelbagai negara di serata dunia, namun begitu mereka menggunakana bahasa Inggeris untuk segala urusan rasmi. Mereka tidak menggunakan bahasa Sepanyol walaupun ada jutaan warga latina dari Amerika selatan, ataupun mandarin, jepun korea dan lain lagi.

Jika seseorang memilih untuk meninggalkan bahasa rasmi sesuatu negara dgn alasan seperti tidak ada manfaat ekonomi, ataupun lain2 alasan, anda masih perlu menggunakan bahasa itu apabila berdepan dengan pejabat2 rasmi kerajaan untuk urusan2 rasmi.

Kemudian jika anda berdepan dengan masalah2 disebabkan penguasaan BM yg lemah, maka kesalahan itu berbalik kepada diri and sendiri.

The mentality that government must serve me as best as it does towards the other citizens despite my failure to speak the common language smacks of extreme arrogance and entitlement.

Be realistic lah

In Japan or Korea, it's going to be super difficult to live there if you don't know their language, especially if it is outside of the main city.

China is even harder if it is not the key cities and even if it is, you might still struggle. Same goes for Vietnam.

In Malaysia, how hard is it to live here without knowing any BM?

Like my cousins now in Australia, those anak born there don't know Malay anymore. I blame the parents la, so difficult to speak Malay at home issit? Children outside confirm speak English, at least at home don't let the language die. Passport Malaysia, but if balik kampung kenot speak to nenek already ...
