For Malaysia, most of the urban people are literate and articulate when it comes to English. But for the country itself where English is not the main language, it is hardly practice.English is colour-Blind. This is what all the citizen of Malaysia should bear in mind.English is just a language.It does represent the people, but doesnt mean when you used English as your communication language you are becoming English man or woman.For instance, In Malaysia where Bahasa Malaysia is the main language and it is compulsary for every citizen to know it, it doesnt change the chinese to Malay or indian to Malay just because you are using the Bahasa Melayu language.The same goes to English.
I did not subscribe to Racism, but i do believe every human are born with conservative and preservative attitude.It is understandable that every culture want to conserve their native language.You are most welcomed to do so. But because of the Demand of political and economical, to hold on to your native language itself is not enough.Learning English is amazingly beneficial.Why? To master the English language save you from learning 212 more language in the world just to communicate with the people across the borders.
This is the wake up call for Malaysian. Bahasa Melayu ,according to history, it was once a Lingua franca.A language that was so greatly infleuntial.Mandarin , the most great kingdom languag,and Tamil, the language from the most early civilisation. But now ,you are reading this post ,form your higly technology gadget,even the instruction are all in english.Otherwise you changed the setting.We are in the Global village era.English has become the language of knowledge.It is the language that communicate each of us to one another.And english is the dominant language that is higly demand for the political and economic.Thus,these make English very important to be mastered.For a better future of our generation.Remember my beloved citizen of Malaysia.English is colour-blind.No matter what colour you are, as long your blood is red and you are human,you are not suppose to be afraid or shy to speak in English.You are not supposed to scared or frigtened up due to the infleunce ,dominant and the superior that the language possess.Always bear in mind."It just a language and its colour-blind."
Hopefully this wake up call post have woke all the beloved Malaysian from the deep sleep.Hope you enjoy reading the post :)
