- Speaking at a forum on Saturday, former trade and industry minister Rafidah Aziz stressed that children should not be exposed to obsolete teaching methods, particularly methods that do not allow them to be immersed in English.
She said speaking English doesn't not make her any less Malay.
When you learn a lot of language, you have to memorize a lot of vocabularies n make your brain grows bigger, smarter!!
1:39 you got the title of this video wrong, she said "If I speak Malay, does it make me less Malay"
@@cintasehati95 Clearly ur not following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad
@@cintasehati95 If you can and able to speak fluent english, I think it makes you a better malaysian. Malaysian is multi-racial and progressive country by origin. Those who are open-minded, progressive and mult-lingual make better Malaysians. That's a fact especially in a competitive world we live in today.
@@cintasehati95 Which part of the quran specifically says u have to wear the hijab? Since u r such a pious person
The problem with Malay attitude is that, they always feel inferior just because I speak foreign language, knowledge, technology.
But all electronic, mechanical apparatus are not Malay.
She is frank in, what she is saying. She does not mind offending anybody for the good of Malaysia and rakyat. It is a great lost not to have in the parliament. With her great mind, she can be the head of the government .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great loss.
Apparently she wasn't this vocal when she was still the Minister.
She is one of the Minister that I loved most. what she did all these years she did it for the country, and she did it well.
I love her..
Smart lady!😊
Next PM no.8 I will give full support...
She is loved by chinese and indians by making them rich. like Naza. ruclips.net/video/-ARPcT9YdNI/видео.html Malays hate her

Terbaik Tan Sri sebab cakap secara tulus ! BM tetap penting tapi kena juga belajar English..
Language has always been a huge debate in the education ministry. The worst part is how people perceive English. Like what Rafidah said “Does speaking English make you less of a Malay? NO!” 👩🏻🏫
Yes, some Malaysians get offended when we speak English, they say we shame the country :(
@@windbreakerlkb4040 there's no shame of speaking foreign language, but in Malaysian case, there's a huge number of Malaysian Chinese who don't even speak melayu.
Saya sering dapat lesson English dari arwah bapak yg belajar di Cambridge..so english i excel dan mak yg belajar arab, saya pandai baca jawi...now i have the chance to teach my children, and grandchildren....ilmu berguna, di dapati, di cari dan di ajarkan, barulah berkat..
Actually semua org yg belajar mengaji automatik akan dapat belajar jawi punya. Sbb jawi masih guna BM. Tulisan je huruf Arab. So, kalau pandai mengaji tapi jawi xboleh maknanya bm dia lah yg ke laut.
Your mentality can help Malaysia to grow. You are a modern malay. This is what Malaysia needs.
theres no fcking modern malay. speaking english doesnt make you modern. then, other races who cant talk BM and english, what are they? ignorent ppl?
@@yyekso2229 if they can't speak English and Malay, don't u think it's because they are ignorant?
YOU ARE VERY RIGHT AUNTY RAFIDAH... EXCELLENT...
Hi Bro, don't call her aunty lah! Tun 94 still O. K. she is still Young lah and with very active super brain cell.
Learning Malay is not going backwards. It is important in uniting the country. Look at Indonesia. They are proud of Bahasa Indonesia. People from everywhere are learning the language. Yes, our young can learn Malay and also other languages.
Liking Indonesia language prospects... even they are proud of their language, some also teachs other language as Chinese, Japanese and Korean to enhance diplomacy also widespreading their language to other country😎😎
Honestly, in those days yes but nowadays even the Indonesian are learning English and other language. English are Universal language whereby Bahasa Indonesia / Malay are mother tongue language daily communication language with our elderly. Even those Malays in Australia , UK and USA for example once they meet they will somehow or rather speak in mother tongue language but commercially they speak in English
Agree
@@raze2762 Indonesians learn foreign languages but Bahasa Indonesia always comes first. It's not merely a language for daily conversation but it is also the language using for law and science in the country. In recent years Indonesian government have been upping the effort to globalize Bahasa Indonesia.
However, Malaysia is different from Indonesia. The history is different. As such the Indonesian way cannot be applied in Malaysia, easily.
From what I see English is a better and neutral choice for prime language for Malaysia.
@@raze2762 Who did tell you that "English is universal language", Bro? 😀
When I was a child she is our yb at Kuala Kangsar. I like her personality
This should be coming from the education minister. If I’m not mistaken, he decided that education will be still in Malay, not that it’s wrong or not valid but it needs to be pointed out that English is a universal language. My parents studied in English, they have excellent command of Malay and English; better than me dare I say. I hate to be flaming or being harsh but someone needed to say this and she did. It’s being very honest, logical, practical and the betterment of the country and progress for the nation.
Peace! ✌️
What kind of people feel threatened by other languages?
Seriously, if someone feels threatened just because other people use other languages, there is something very wrong with that person
Not just English, but any languages and any nationalities. Nowadays speaking two to three languages is a norm.
Makes you a better malay. Why? Because you have an extra language
Precisely, if I visit to Japan and speak Japanese doesn't mean that I'm becoming samurai. Poor thing is someone think they becoming "others"
I am the first batch of the PPSMI (2003-2007) where Maths and Science subjects were taught in English. Coming from a humble family background, I didn’t have anyone to refer to except my teachers at school. My parents are not educated, what more to say if they could help me with homeworks, assignments etc. But it did not hinder me to get an A for both English and Bahasa Malaysia, Science subjects too off course. But after my year, the system was changed back to BM if I’m not mistaken. And Tan Sri’s worst nightmare kinda is back hunting us. The young interns (but not ALL) that I work with (I had a couple of them from the past experience) couldn’t even produce a simple memo/proposal without me being the examiner and checked the grammar + sentence structure. Ayat tunggang langgang, simple grammar pun buat org tepuk dahi kalau baca. Of course, I am not the native speaker, and I do make mistakes sometimes. But glaring mistakes on email memo such as “Sirs” and “Madams” produced by these young interns really made my fingertips itchy 😂
Well apparently being well verse in english had really put me in hot soup for quite sometime..
It's not that I can't speak malay, I just that I found english language are much more direct and precise...
Language are very important, especially living in Malaysia, where we have the chance to learn tamil, mandarin, bahasa melayu, bahasa malaysia....
I rather have my children learn a skill that is widely used and recognized rather than focus fully on a skill that just for own self syiok but, has no value or very little value. At the end of the day, all of us want to survive in this world not so syiok sendiri.
True Tan Sri ... doesnot make u less Malay than Zaaba or Tun Sri Lanang.
I hope she will become our next Prime Minister.
At last someone is making sense here, respect! 👏👏👏
English is just a language, and just like any language, it is simply a tool or skill that we use
The problem arise when people somehow associate it with abstract ideas such as loyalty to one's country, ethnicity, etc
Tan Sri Akak Besar Rafidah Aziz is like my own elder sister, a realist who always make logical & common sense. That's the reason why I always listen to her.
I think, she also said, "shoe+mouth" in perlimen. She is good leader.
The same speech made by Lee Kuan Yew back in 1965, that got Spore kicked out
Yay!
Singapore did not get kicked out. Goh Keng Swee proposed the separation and Tunku agreed. And factually, at that time, Lee Kuan Yew encouraged the use of Malay as a uniting language for Malaysia.
She is saying through her bright foresight. She knows, these is not a popular ideas to propose. But, she did it for the country and rakyat of Malaysia. She putting up as a target for people to comment. But that idea is for the good for Malaysia. She likes to say "Who Cares" whether you likes my comment. As she knows it is for the good of the rakyat of the country she loves.
Malaysian Malay, Chinese, Indian & lain-lain who can speak English eloquently has an advantage over those who don't: P.
Yes! English is an international language to a wider world of today.

You did well. Keep supporting the MALAYSIAN. We are strongly supporting our beloved PM & those who has the interest for all Malaysian. You speak very good Queen's English & so does our beloved PM. Push politic aside.
An ideal candidate as interim PM what Malaysia wants now, if Mahaiddin Yassin is forced to step down for good!! Country is deeply battered by Covid-19, many economic sectors SMEs are forced to close, rakyat B40s plus 'future B40s' are suffering from soaring high unemployment, not enough food for families, etc.
Great! What you say is true and Dr Mahathir should appoint you as Educational Minister.
Ravi Selvaratnam - Next PM
Unfortunately not many malays will agree with you mam. Mostly, will prefer to hide the dirt under the carpet and pretend everything is perfect. Those who wants to raise the bar will be eliminated soon as possible as a pest or named as virus. Such is the pitiful state of current affairs.
Salam to tan seri rafidah Aziz we Malaysian are very happy to listen to your speech your English is fantastic you have a very good experience we like you to be advised to government to bring the younger generation in good in politics in my country uncle azlan Shah from West Malaysia Harrison's kl
Sorry to say this malaysia has already gone down the longkang.
If they don't change they will bring their pride to their graves.
The young Malaysians should adhere to her advice regarding the ability to use the English language. In fact the more languages you know, it will be to your advantages.
Indeed, she is one of the better leaders in Malaysia. Very wise woman.
I speak Malay, Tamil, Malayalam, Cantonese, English and German and I am Malaysian!
Awesome. But how? Internet?
Miss Algorithm, do you speak Bangla language as well?
The bottom line is, learning English well is good for the citizens of any country today; without compromising their own mother tongue.Observe the advantage of Singapore!
observe the advantages of China, Japan, and Korea. they use their own country's language in teaching science and math instead of English, but they are still capable of producing high-tech goods
The way she speak looks like an English Teacher giving some advice to students to enhance their language skills. So motivational.
I, sadly have to say, our young today is and are being dragged behind. Especially in government public schools! Everything now is Bahasa melayu, bahasa melayu and Islam, islam islam only in school. It it so sad because in the Quran it says seek all kinds of knowledge that is beneficial anywhere in the world to be successful in the dunia and in the akhirat.
There was this PAS MP, Tuan Ibrahim, I think, who questioned Tun M, why the police force had started having internal briefings and intra department reports done in English?? He claimed as a Royal Agency of the Government, by usisng English, PDRM is going against government policy and against the constitution!
As Tan Sri Rafidah pointed out, Bahasa Melayu is not there yet and English is still the universal language. But the standard of English in this country has fallen to the lowest of low for students from Standard One to even Professors with pHDs! This is a fact no one can hide or deny. Is this shocking when there are lawmakers like the example above who insists everything is done in Bahasa Melayu?
Sekarang dengan sukacita saya mengalu-alukan diri saya disindir dan diejek kerana mengeluarkan kenyataan ini. Terima Kasih dan Assalumalaikum!
To be fair, all official communication within the civil service should be in Malay Language, it would be nice if all official documents to be published in dual language though.
wow, after decades, still arguing about this. Non-issue in the rest of SEA and Asian countries. Even Germany which has the second highest number of world's science books written in German language, don't mind using the world's lingua franca. Focus on sicence and math more.
Maths and science were spread by India once upon a time. Think Pune used to be where scholars from China used to go to get brain washed with absolute fabricated nonsense
Yes, Germans can speak English. but non-German people must be able to speak German if they study or work in Germany. FYI, English comes from southern Germany. English, German, Dutch, rooted in the same language.
I Love her from the bottom of my heart.
Nope, Rafidah... it makes you bi-lingual
..
1:39 you got the title of this video wrong, she said "If I speak Malay, does it make me less Malay"
Rafidah for prime minister !!! go girl.
i am English educated and my second language is Bahasa Kebangsaan. Hence, i speak more often in Bahasa in honour of my birth place. Beside, growing up with these Malay English educated children. Truly, you find multi-racial children in an English school. There is one female Malay teacher by the name of Miss Tajjudin who taught us Science in English. Amboi! She is sure real pretty and distractful to our concentrations and
attentions in class.
Lawa mcm cikgu suraya kan
I enrolled in this sekolah jenis kebangsaan (I) - I means Inggeris (English) in Setapak but at that time the medium language was already BM. People who know more than 1 language usually have advantages than people who only know 1 language only. You have this dual sets of thinking, you can read, write and speak more than 1 language.
This lady is dangerous, she can make Malaysia stronger
Singapore Trump?
The only smart thing about Malaysians are the choice of aliases
Great to Rafidah for speaking up the truth. Interesting she shared a simple reality that if she speak s English does it meant she is less Malay. In the same premise if she is not the same religion with them will she be considered less Malay?
May god bless 'U'. Your are comlng out from the bottom's of your heart. Tqvm.
When she speaks, I can feel hope for Malaysia
same here
in her previous speech during post 14 general election , she quoted "emperor nero played the fiddle while city of rome burned" and i get shock. her knowledge are indeed universal
Shukran. This is happening in msia n msian. But it's not late. Damage is done. There is always a wakeup calls fr all. Work overseas is gd improvement. Dare to move success will sure to grow. Luck to msians.
madam forme minister...you are a GOOD in explaining about your own Kaum.
you were in the government during Ketua Tua Tun Mahathir was in power and who created the society. You and your big BOSS did to your KUAM YANG TERBESAR DI MALAYSIA. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I’ve loved her since the election last year! I was disappointed when the government decided to change the medium of teaching maths and science from English to Malay years ago. I was lucky because my batch at the time had the privilege to learn the 2 subjects in English. I think it was about 5 years later, it was changed to Malay because they said students couldn’t cope. But that’s not entirely true cz everything was in dwibahasa. The older generation in Sabah was English educated. I just think the government should give more time. Had it not been retracted, I think by now, students would have been able to be more confident using the language.
Negara anda seperti negara australia, selandia Baru karena koloni british jadi amat agung agungkan bahasa Inggris, singkirkan bahasa ibu yaitu bahasa Melayu dalam pengantar pendidikan, dan kementrian.
Sungguh sedih melihat kenyataan itu di Malaysia. Negara meminta rakyat, para pejabat negara memakai bahasa Melayu 100%, tapi didebat.
Madam Tan Sri it is time you
Lead the country . I am serious
On my comments.

And you deserve that position.
Wow her english is superb!😉

She sould be our pm or dpm... Plz masukkan her ke dlm kabinet asap
we need brains like hers
She is doing very well as head of Airasia X, free from dirty politics. I think she wouldn't want to join the cabinet even if they offered her the DPM post
She was in cabinet during TunM's time but she didn't speak like this during her time...She was busy enriching herself as other ministers... Now can talk la..

Jepang negara maju tapi mereka menggunakan Bahasa Jepang dalam keseharian, mirip seperti Indonesia.....makanya Bahasa Jepang dan Bahasa Indonesia tetap lestari
That’s true. It doesn’t make us less malay/chinese/indian or anything if we can communicate in other languages. In fact it’ll make us even better.. coz we can understand them n interact with others in their own mother tongue. All of these old yet negative perceptions must be corrected..
You are right my bru. We are still far behind. Get rid of those negative perceptions.
Klu camti buang je bahasa malaysia... Ermm ganti bahasa english sebagai bahasa kebangsaan
@@hunaunkoay2841 being a malay myself.....i was exposed to english by my very fluent eng spoken father. My childhood went back in d 70s.
And with exposure too i was made fluent to d cantonese language. And i also picked d tamil language and able to speak it fluently..i am proud to b a linguist as my father was....who spoke several languages fluently too.
Where english is concerned i dare say that even sjkc schools r visibly lacking in d proficiency of english not only sk schools in rural areas.
Learning english and being proficient in d language doesnt make me any lesser a Malay.

me as indonesian i respect rafidah aziz opinion about language
but us indonesian also agree when we learn english and also a lot more othes language made us more progressive and smarter, of course english hold power internationally as a language, but whats more important as indonesian language is not all about methods,being progressive,sovereignty etc , but language is "identity" using your language boost your nationality and patriotism, maybe its okay for now in malaysia, but i dont know in 20 or 50 years later whats gonna happen
i hope the next generation of malaysia not gonna take impact of today malaysia decision
Mandarin and cantonese is an important language and must learn by all.
Pelik betuila kita dekat Malaysia agong2 bahasa English tapi masa aku pi eropah jerman,itali dan Czech republic semua cakap bahasa kebangsaan masing2. Depa tak fasih langsung pun english tapi teknologi depa lebih maju.
Jangan jadi penyembah British....
the problem right now in Malaysia, is that our young generation been raise up without knowing the mother language. Imagine what will happen in the next 100 years, Bahasa Melayu will be remove? or people in the next generation would not even know that " What is Bahasa Melayu?". However Tan Sri, you have a point that "speak english" does not mean you are less Malay. Im honestly proud of our multiculture society. But, im disagree with your point why we should not make our language sovereign. Back in 15th century during Malacca golden time, our language, "Bahasa Melayu" was being recognized as "Lingua Franca" International language to people who wan to start their business in Malacca. So, why we should be ashamed of our own language?. Lastly you mentioned about Japan and other country that dont speak english as their first or second language. Do you know that these country are actually depend on the translator? i dont see any problem with that, in fact, many foreigner come to the country just to learn the language. Why can't we expect the same thing to happen in Malaysia?
P/S this is just based from my opinion and i hoped none of use here will get offended by my comment. #SayasayangMalaysia
Bahasa Malaysia mana boleh guna pakai diluar Msia...one still have to use the universal language which is English plain and simple..wake up smell the coffee of reality all those who think Bahasa Melayu can get you places ok 👌🏻😉
Saya setuju...but the fact that there are still many Malaysians could not speak the national language is embarassing.
@Gazpacho Suave You people? What about your people? As Malaysians, WE must work together.
@Gazpacho Suave I hope so. Peace ✌
Reika Ratnam 😂😂 so true
@@reikaratnam It’s called informal language, a more casual way of speaking or writing. Every language has that. Scrolling down RUclips comments, it is not uncommon to see internet slangs and short forms. Even Malaysians regardless of race speak and write Manglish, to a certain degree could not be understood by non-Malaysians. Calling these people lazy and the language they speak an ‘evolved ape gibberish’ language is rather shallow.
So much truth and commonsense!! For those that can speak more than just their mother tongue, well done. Good government is for all the people, not just those with a certain ethnic background. They then have this entitlement mentality....Good government is not fearful of change. People need to wake up!!
Rafidah syed hamid albar rais yatim mahathir zainudin maidin bahasa inggeris mereka di tahap tinggi.. menurut yg aku perhatikan la..
Overall I think Malays speaks and write English at okay level if not well, there are mistakes here and there, of course. Throughout my services with the private sector, government, on my own and while being a student, English was the 2nd compulsory or main medium depending on who the recipient is. All documents, board papers and presentations were in English. I don’t see any issues here, I still remember vetting papers of my organizations and colleagues for content richness and appropriateness, all is okay, any mistakes would be corrected and guided. Never have myself and the organizations belittle or ridicule imperfection of English or Bahasa Malaysia of anybody, they learn fast and will not shy away from English or Bahasa Malaysia if not ridiculed, especially when not being ridiculed in public. It is all a matter of attitude, not only the attitude of people that tries hard to master English but the attitude of the so called proficient English speaking people. Instead of ridiculing those less proficient, care for each other development by being positive. If people were to spell “warehouse” as “wherehouse”, correct the person and say it is okay to make mistakes, rather than making it an evergreen joke of the organizations, meetings for years and years and worse, through social media. Pity the person who wrote “wherehouse” many many moons ago, he or she is still remembered or set as an example. Make learning lifelong as in “Lifelong Learning” and avoid “Lifelong Belittlement”. “Respect and Encouragement” are the keywords in developing language skills.
That's right, learning English is a life long process but there are those who refuse to learn any other languages other hand Malay Language even the facilities to learn are easily available.
Seebau Ong : Well, that’s life and it’s fair and too bad for them. Who goes after knowledge and all the peripherals that enables knowledge gain would fare, those that waste time over the nagging and rhetorics of life and knowledge stays where they want to stay or worse, they bring dead flocks of like minded people with them. Sometimes just to end an argument over rhetorics and time wasters, I would just end it with, “That is why person A is somewhere “here” and person B is somewhere “there”. Life gives back what you have sown earlier. Knowledge is also blind, it does not have any preferences to whom it goes. Who chases after knowledge, gets knowledge which produce so much life benefits at any point of time.
Completely agree with u 👌🏻.

She makes sense
I understand where she comes from.As a Malaysian of Chinese descent who speaks and think in English I face the same narrow minded bigots every day.They are either envious or ignorant in their mindset.Whether you like it or not English will be the Lingua Franca of knowledge because of the British Empire who ruled the world once upon a time.Language is just a tool to get things done.
To be frank, my English is broken because of the irrelevant education policy back in 1980 -an, where Malay language is highly important and all the core subjects are in Malay and all teacher speak in Malay. As a result, our English especially spoken English is very very broken... When i enter the working market, it gv me a culture shock, because communication is in english. (i am working in the banking indusries) . My god, why is our education policy so irrelevent ??? I admit all must learn our national language. Beside this, we can't deny the importance of other language especially now we hv to survive in a global market. Plese DON"T let those who live in a shell to make educational policy. Because it will effect our nxt generation....
We as malay should change the way of thinking so that we can improve our standard. We should stop blaming other race and start looking where we stand..... Other races don't have any special privilege in this country but they are better because buzy working for what they want and not buzy looking what others have or blame them....
Rafidah should be taking the education ministry....and start the march forward.
Very stuPIG comment.Let me tell you something...people will only greatly admire him/her for their resourcefulness to become a leader,not because the guy can speak very well in English,language is just a tool...is just a tool.See how the China Leader 老习 clear away a messy situation in HK today.By the way...brainy is a good weapon than a mouth.

Hadi Awang should start learning English language, just look at Zakir Naik, he speaks good English and this makes him a well known Islamic preacher (among the Muslims anyway) not only in this country but also in the middle East and south Asia.
Hadi is only a jaguh kampung preacher due to his inability to speak English.

Negara yang kuat adalah Negara yang punya identitas, bangga berbahasa ibu, bukan menandakan kemunduran, menggunakan bahasa ibu (bahasa pemersatu) adalah bentuk menghargai perjuangan pendiri bangsa yang meletakan bahasa sebagau akar budaya. Jati diri dan identitas Negara. Utamakan bahasa ibu ( bahasa resmi pemersatu ) lestarikan bahasa daerah, dan pelajari bahasa asing. Jangan selalu berkiblat kebarat, kebarat baratan tidak selalu menjamin kemajuan!!!
Old video but still relevant today. Ok..since Bahasa Malaysia is our national language while English is the international language, it is clear both are a must for our people. Thus, MOE can just make it a criteria for this 2 languages as "compulsory passes" in the school exams, instead of only BM as a "compulsory pass".
I like it, she said i nearly died.
She speaks English with Malaysian Malay Slang. She is proud being Malaysian and I support her !

Menyimak polemik bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kedua ASEAN dan melihat realita dan fakta kondisi Bahasa Melayu di Malaysia saat ini, izinkan saya mengusulkan kepada Pemerintah Malaysia agar memilih Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa resmi dan bahasa pemersatu, sekaligus bahasa kebangsaan di negeri jiran itu. Saya yakin warga Cina dan India akan bisa menerimanya. Begitu pun dengan etnis Melayu termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak.
Pemerintah Malaysia sudah saatnya menerbitkan akta (UU) yang menetapkan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa resmi negara dan melarang semua kaum menggunakan bahasa ibunda mereka baik dalam acara resmi maupun dalam pendidikan. Seluruh rakyat malaysia mulai dari pejabat negara, politisi, dan warga negara lainnya harus tunduk pada akta ini. Sekolah vernakular juga harus di tutup tanpa syarat.
Ada 4 manfaat kalau Malaysia memilih bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa resmi negara
1. Menghindari perpecahan kaum di Malaysia
2. Tak perlu bersusah payah mengusulkan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kedua ASEAN sebab bahasa Inggris sudah menjadi bahasa resmi ASEAN.
3. Malaysia akan terhindar dari polemik berkepanjangan soal bahasa Melayu dan bahasa Indonesia dengan negara Indonesia karena bahasa Indonesia telah diatur dalam Pasal 36 Undang-Undang Dasar Tahun 1945 juncto Undang-Undang No 24 thn 2009. Bagaimanapun Indonesia tak akan mengubah bahasanya menjadi bahasa Melayu Indonesia. Itu melanggar konstitusi negara Indonesia.
4. Dengan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa resmi, kepentingan Sabah dan Sarawak bisa terwakili dengan baik dalam negara Malaysia. Ingat, Serawak dan Sabah juga punya bahasa sendiri. Mungkin mereka bisa menerima bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pemersatu dengan Malaysia
Dengan memakai Bahasa Inggris, tak menghapus esensi orang Melayu. Orang Melayu tetaplah orang Melayu sampai kapanpun. Lagi pula banyak kok negara lain yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa resmi dan sampai hari ini mereka tetap baik baik saja. Misalnya Amerika Serikat, Kanada, Australia, Singapura dan banyak lagi.
Ini cuma sekedar saran saja agar Malaysia terhindar dari perpecahan kaum di negeri itu.
Salam damai selalu 🙏🙏

well, China is the 2nd largest economic power and proud of their language.
But China is smarter than you my friend. They also know that English is the universal language to do business and deal with the western countries. You didn't see that.
True, but they understand English is the most important language for commerce and politics. That’s why they send many students to US and UK. We have to be practical and be really proficiency in English. In the old days taxi drivers can speak better English than those coming out of some of the local universities.
@@leetan3306 what is the issue here. Nobody is denying the importance of english as as the language on international platform.

Very open-minded. I like her outspoken personality. She is an Iron Lady! Love her!
Our current Education System changed when Najib took over the country.
After more than 10 years now since Najib the education system seems to fail in many ways.
From my experience as Human Resource, candidates from the Malay medium school DO NOT even know how to speak simple English during interviews. That is sad! Candidates from Chinese medium schools speak some English but are broken, still able to accept. Sekolah Wawasan did not produce a real 1Malaysia nation overall due to the management of the school actually do not follow the integration system that had been planned which is "sharing" facilities and teamwork. I noticed many Malaysian parents started sending their children to private international schools. They pay for the quality of the education system. This is the reality in Malaysia and I am so sure many people realise it. I just wish the future of Malaysia will be taken over by a good leader.....let's pray for the miracles.
Well, i was taught Science and Maths in Malay, and I think I did quite well at it. You need to teach kids something complex like Maths Science and Geography in the language that they are most comfortable most.
I learnt in english. For me it was easier because if I did not understand anything there is always books in english in whatever subject i wanted to understand. Now theres also free english videos on youtube. Think i did quite well also, studying degree in chemical engineering now. Pray for my success please and thank you in advance!
@@sirmarisa If you can and able to speak fluent english, I think it makes you a better malaysian. Malaysian is multi-racial and progressive country by origin. Those who are open-minded, progressive and mult-lingual make better Malaysians. That's a fact especially in a competitive world we live in today.
Salute! She spoke without fear or favour. She is nothing short of fantastic!

We must tackle the root cause of this "English kills Malay" perception. The English-medium schools of yore cultivated an 'urbanite' culture so distinct from the Malay masses that all sorts of language shaming, misgivings and conflicts would occur between both groups. Compare this to mainland European countries where English is foreign to everyone so no one becomes so busybody about each other's English proficiency the same way we are. To be proficient in English is one thing but to operate or receive instruction in English is another. Failure to recognise this is one of the contributing factors to the collapse of PPSMI in Malaysia and also the failings of English-medium instruction in various Commonwealth countries.
Start practicing English by using Manglish or broken english first. Then you can learn it by hearing others talk or by hearing some english music.
Rafidah was a former student of St Georges.
She speak excellent English.Good in English does not mean less Malay Malaysian..English is a world language of knowledge..Even now English is taught as 2nd language in all Asian countries..Do u know young generation in Asian countries can communicate in simple English..eg in Vietnam,Thailand,Korea etc.....

Apa gunanya ejaan, struktur ayat dan tatabahasa tepat sekali kalau yang membaca langsung tak faham yang tersurat. Yang tersirat lagilah ke longkang.
Umberto Eco used to say « langage is a mental jail »..speaking many langages will extend our understanding of the world like for the food so great to enjoy chinese, malay, indian, chinedien, nyonnia recipes.But after all, to each on his own understanding of the world, that is the true diversity and the true freedom.
Malay in definition is a person who is SPEAK Malay, practices Malay customs and tradition, live his life in a Malay ways and his religion is Islam.
Yes, I agree with her.
Jika saya bercakap bahasa melayu, adakah saya kurang cerdik?
You did not get her point, sir. setahun kemudian masih bahasa antara isu viral.
Precisely, mother tongue (Malay) is in built since we were born but English is an universal language in trade and businesses will be an added advantage in order for individual and country to excel and compete. Look at those countries with no natural reserved like our neighbour Singapore proficiency in universal or trade language in directly woos foreign investors. Even most of their public transport drivers or hawkers do speak or understand English. Therefore, Govt should emphasize English in school for betterment of our next generations and country.
