Told my sons before

English and MY are non negotiable must haves. Mandarin is important to have. Dialects and other languages good to have

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

I am in the same boat..

It's quite common for children in the city i believe. My kids told me that 60-70% of their classmates in Chinese school converse in English instead of Mandarin at school.

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?

Its a disgrace to the land and our identity as Malaysian.
