      Likewise Malaysia has chosen to unify her people by the use of a common national language. Remember that the Malaysian population is ethnically more diverse than Singapore's population. Moreover about 15% of Malaysians reside in the Borneo states across the South China Sea. The majority of the indigenous people there speak native languages like Iban, Kadazan, Suluk etc. Whenever I converse with these people in English, they look bewildered as they cannot understand a word I am saying. The moment I switch to Malay, we are able to communicate.

    LKY decided on English not just because its a worldwide language and used in business, because it's a Fair playing ground for all. As its not the language of the Chinese nor Malay nor Indians.. all 3 major races had to learn the new language from scratch..
    But he retained language that your race is from as the 2nd language, so the Chinese never gave up Chinese, the malays didnt give up Bahasa Malay..etc.
    Having a common language for all races is also useful for communication inter racial.

      Fair points. Pragmatism was the reasoning behind PAP's language policy. However, it does have its drawbacks. For example, some minorities in Singapore find their chances of landing a job to be difficult since some job postings require them to speak Mandarin. Is learning English then still considered giving everyone an equal opportunity to get a job?
      Secondly, the national language of Singapore is Malay due to geographical, political and historical reasons. However, with the rise in English as the main mode of communication (and some may argue even Mandarin), are Singaporeans losing their sense of identity, history and place in the Malay world?
      Another question to ask is, why must we think of race as "static" i.e. if you're Chinese you must speak Mandarin. There are Indonesian Chinese who are proud to speak in Bahasa Indonesia and Malaysians (whether Chinese, Malay, Peranakans, Tamils) who are much more multi-lingual than Singaporeans in their languages such as Malay, Hokkien, Hakka, Tamil etc. Countries like New Zealand recognise the indigenous language of their country like Maori and promote them on their university websites. Can Singapore do the same with her National language rather than just army commands and symbolic means?

      I grew up in newly independent Malaysia in the 1960s and being 100% Queen's English educated, I experienced great difficulties trying to communicate with Malaysians of all ethnicities whenever I spoke to them in flawless English. My grasp of Malay then was very weak and the little Bahasa Pasar that I spoke was the only means to communicate with them. It was particularly bad whenever I travelled to the rural areas (Malay kampongs, Chinese new villages and the estates with 100% Indians) where hardly anyone spoke English. It was Malay again that saved the day for me. In all honesty, switching the medium of instruction of the national schools to Malay helped a lot to unify a nation populated by so many different ethnic groups and languages.

    There's a difference between English proficiency versus English accent.
    Every nation has its own accent in speaking (how the words sound). What matters more is what you say and how you say it- which means to be grammatically sound. And that include doing so in writing.
    If some Malaysian politicians think that Singapore teachers are not good in English just because of one's accent, then they just need to scrutinize themselves among their government whether their ministers can speak grammatically correct English.
    Furthermore, why would Singapore teachers volunteer in Malaysia when they can do so in Singapore? What benefits would they gain in doing so?

    Good video. A small correction though, the National Language Act 1963/67 wasn't the reason the medium of instructions of schools switched to Malay. Article 152 of the Federal Constitution permits the use of languages other than Malay in schools. The law merely compels the federal and state governments to use the national language for "official purposes". English schools specifically were closed at the primary and secondary levels after the May 13 race riots of 1969.
    Singapore, as part of Malaya, shared a similar history with regards to vernacular schools in 4 major languages: English, Malay, Chinese, Tamil. After the initial separation of Singapore from Malaya via the creation of the Malayan Union, and subsequently the Federation of Malaya, Singapore and the Federation had diverging approaches to vernacular education. Malaysia designated malay medium schools as national schools with all others being labelled national-type, while in Singapore there was equal treatment for all 4 language streams. Also, Malaysia only allowed for 4 language streams at the primary level, with malay or english at the secondary level. Thus, after May 13, a political decision was made by then Education Minister Abdul Rahman Yaakob to announce the conversion of all english medium schools to the malay medium. He did this without consulting the Cabinet and gained enough political mileage to return to Sarawak as the next Chief Minister in 1970.
    Long story short, constitutionally speaking english schools are not a problem, Article 152 was the same when Singapore was still in the Federation. In the end, the problem is not so much legal as it is political.

He sent his children overseas n when they came back, they became political leaders, leaving our children hanging in the balance.

    In my opinion, it would be best to maintain Malay as the medium of instruction in national schools. The demographics of the country still favour this arrangement. Nearly 70% of the population are Malays and other indigenous ethnicities from Sabah and Sarawak who are more comfortable speaking Malay and Borneon languages which are closer to Malay than to English. In addition, a large portion of the population are residing in rural areas where very little or no English is spoken or used. If the entire national school system were to switch to using English overnight, even for science and mathematics, many of these students would struggle to understand their lessons. What is important in education is not the language used to teach but to ensure that the students fully comprehend what they are being taught. This is best achieved by using the language which the students are most comfortable and familiar with. We see the same practice being done in schools in advance countries like Germany, France, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Clearly Malaysia has been following the correct and most logical path in her effort to integrate and unify her people though the use of a common national language.

    If you want to learn pure and authentic malay, you should learn it from it's native who live in malay native homeland which is Riau Province, Riau Islands Province and Jambi Province that located in sumatra island chain in Indonesia. These three provinces are the native homeland of the malay people and malay language.
    Any malay who live outside of these 3 provinces are having their ancestor from these 3 provinces migrating to that place centuries ago.
    Malay in malay peninsula are separated in two group. Old malay located in the northern malay peninsula states including southern thai malay group, migrating to that land on the early century AD, and Young malay located in the southern malay peninsula states including singapore, migrating to that land on 14th century during parameswara rebelion against Majapahit empire authority
    In 3 malay provinces of Indonesia, malay language that taught in school are authentic and relatively pure malay with small influence of european language loan words. These malay language lesson are also taught alongside the national language of indonesia, which is Bahasa Indonesia.

    This is all govt cross border initiatives. What each country gets out of each other is any ones guess. I am singaporean. I think malaysians speak english fine. If there is something lacking in malaysia, can anyone blame the people? Everything in the media locally is in malay and in schools too. In fact non malay Malaysians speak bahasa melayu with expert ease. Because they have to learn! Not the same with Malaysian malays. They dont have to learn english. Even the sultan of johor a few yrs back admitted. He said’look at singspore. Theyre progressing by leaps snd bounds because their main language in schools, business and everyday use is english. Malaysia is still in the middle ages!’ His very words. How are malaysians going to compete in the international market if their mastery of english is poor. You cant compete in bahasa melayu.

    Malaya and the Chinese vernacular schools are gravitating to Mandarin. With dedolarization, more trading and economy activities will be with China. English will be second tier for commercial liaising with the OECD. Malay language is there for identity keeping and pride. China with its Mandarin, Japan for Japanese, Korea for Korean, UK and US for English hence Malaya for Malay. Boleh berbahasa Melayu? Tak susah mempelajari Bahasa Melayu.

    Anything cheap is not good. Anything good is not cheap. So volunteering might not bring the expected goal in improving English among students. The MP did not mean that Malaysians are far better in English compared to Singaporeans. Instead what he meant is why is Malaysia not using it's abundance of local talents? Especially those retired and even senior graduates of yesteryears. Maybe Malaysia doesn't want to pay for it, volunteering is free.
