Will speaking Malay unite us? By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy

What Language Malaysians ACTUALLY Speak?

Malaysiakini : “Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.”

- Rumi, 13th century poet

COMMENT | Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris lecturer Azizah Zain expressed worry over “the growing trend of urban pupils using English as their main spoken language”, as it "could undermine Malay’s position as the national language," the press reported.

I assume the associate professor is including Malay pupils here and not just the non-Malays.

Azizah pointed out that the Malay language is “a vessel of national identity” (wadah jati diri bangsa kita).

Veteran 1972 : You guys with Mamak and his gang have been reneging on all agreements. Starting with MA63, remember without Sabah and Sarawak there will not be a Malaysia, for that matter no Malaysians. 

Remember the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement with the Communist Party of Malaya reneged on that too. 

On the NEP it was supposed to be for 20 years to help the "disabled" Malays, the handouts and crutches are going on until today. The Malays themselves don't talk proper Malay. 

Without English the Malays will be worse than lame ducks. Sarawak is advancing by leaps and bounds. English is here to stay.
