All 1st world country only learn 1 or max 2 language to advance. Japan, Taiwan, korea and the west.

You want the kids to learn all the language but their brain only contain that much. That left not much brain to learn the skill to be expert and work.

Drive the kids to the edge.

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?

i work with many many expats who have stayed in malaysia for many years.
none of them have ever had any real problems communicating in malaysia because most malaysians know how to speak english. even the most ulu place, people will understand english even if they cannot speak it.

Oh no, not like that

This isnt all must learn

Its Must/Critical to have, Important to have and Good to Have prioritisation

Must have only 2 , BM English

Once above 2 pass only proceed to important. Which is Mandarin

Good to have is only if you have free time, no pressure to learn. Canto is one of these and any language they deem fit. But look at kids these days no TVB , canto hard to pick up liao.

Ya reality is you living in Malaysia, not prc not toc Taiwan. The Malays are now 80+% population, you sure you don't want to tap into that market? Among malays there's always a perception that Chinese mechanics are better and more skilled, but just worry get slaughter.
*
Slaughter mostly among own kind yes.

Malay mech sometimes will slaughter a Malay customer. U can see these stories on FB all the time. Only after getting second opinion from a Chinese mech then only they found out the truth. And it goes both ways too. A Chinese mech con a Chinese customer and eventually both con each other back.
