00:00 As a Malaysian citizen, you must master Malay. Do you agree with this?
00:05 Recently, the word "Malay" has become the top search word on social media.
00:09 It originated from a Malaysian who has lived in Malaysia for 20 years.
00:14 He admitted that he learned Malay from a private school, so he still can't speak Malay.
00:18 This post has aroused the interest of the netizens, and many of them criticized him.
00:23 Some even used foreign students as an example, saying that they have been in Malaysia for two months and can speak Malay.
00:30 As a Malaysian Chinese, how high do you think your level of Malay is?
00:34 And why are there still many people in Malaysia who can't speak Mandarin?
00:39 How would you rate your Malay?
00:41 7.5 or 7.5
00:42 Simply speaking, I think my level is B+ in SBM, A1 in the same exam.
00:47 I think my Malay is okay.
00:49 9.5, I don't give 10 points.
00:51 I studied in a Malay school, not a Chinese school.
00:58 I give my Malay a 3.8, 3.0 to 4.0.
01:02 I can update my passport and report cases.
01:06 But if I talk to Malaysians, and I talk too much,
01:13 I will start to have a hard time understanding what they are saying.
01:17 We can communicate with them, but we can't understand their professional terms.
01:25 It's a little harder to write.
01:28 Simply speaking, I can speak Malay.
01:32 If I can't, I will use English.
01:35 I can use it.
01:37 If you ask me, I can't write because I didn't study.
01:40 My Malay is not very good.
01:42 But if you ask me, I think Malaysia has three languages, English, Mandarin and Chinese.
01:51 So I need a little bit of both.
01:53 In Malaysia, it's impossible for you to not know Malay.
02:01 It's not important if you say it's important.
02:04 But English is more important.
02:06 It's more important to speak Malay.
02:08 Because we go to these places, the government departments,
02:12 if you don't know Malay, you can't communicate at all.
02:16 Sometimes we communicate in English, and some of them don't understand.
02:20 That's the problem.
02:22 So it's important to speak Malay.
02:26 Malay is actually limited to Malaysia or Indonesia.
02:31 If you go abroad, you can't speak 10 Malay.
02:34 Nine of them can understand.
02:36 They all communicate in English.
02:38 So Malay is not very developed internationally.
02:42 If you live in Malaysia, I think it's important.
02:46 Because the government is the same language.
02:50 So this is a respect.
02:52 It's important.
02:54 When I was a kid, my mom told me, "You don't have to learn so much Malay."
02:58 She sent me to study Chinese.
03:01 She told me to focus on Chinese.
03:03 But after I came out, I found that no matter how good you are in Malaysia,
03:07 you still need to have the ability to communicate.
03:09 It's important to have the ability to communicate in Malay.
03:12 I think it's enough to be able to communicate normally.
03:17 It's not that you have to be good at Malay to be able to write articles.
03:21 You can do something better.
03:23 But at least, no matter how good you can speak Chinese,
03:26 you have to have at least half or more Malay.
03:29 At least in that aspect.
03:31 I think people of my generation have a bad habit.
03:36 They don't speak Malay.
03:38 They think it's a matter of no concern.
03:40 Some even think it's an honor.
03:42 They think, "I don't speak Malay."
03:45 They think it's a matter of course.
03:48 I think it's more democratic for Chinese people.
03:53 Or they think English is the best.
03:55 My grandmother is older than me.
03:58 She's 60 or 70 years old.
04:00 She doesn't understand Malay.
04:03 So I think it's better to be able to translate.
04:05 If you're a bit more modern,
04:07 it's okay.
04:08 It depends on which aspect you want to look at.
04:10 I don't think it's a bad thing.
04:16 We were born in Malaysia.
04:18 I think Malaysians speak Malay very well.
04:24 It depends on the person.
04:26 I learned it in primary school.
04:29 I can't speak Malay if I don't speak well.
04:31 I didn't study.
04:33 I didn't study.
04:35 I really didn't study.
04:37 I didn't like studying.
04:39 So I slowly got to know my friends
04:42 and made progress.
04:45 It's true.
04:46 Studying is very important.
04:48 I think it's a matter of the environment.
04:51 I studied Chinese in primary school.
04:54 I studied in secondary school.
04:56 We had two types of children's books.
05:00 One was in Chinese.
05:01 The other was in Malay.
05:03 I went to the library to learn.
05:06 If I didn't learn Malay
05:08 when I was a kid,
05:10 I wouldn't have made many friends.
05:12 So their Malay is very bad.
05:14 The bad thing about Malay is that
05:16 we don't communicate much.
05:17 We don't learn much.
05:18 We don't think about it.
05:21 Many people think that English is the standard Malay.
05:26 You can speak English abroad.
05:29 I can't summarize it into one question.
05:33 But if you can...
05:35 How do I say this?
05:36 The education system contributes a lot.
05:40 I think more so is the Chinese.
05:43 I can't say it's just the Chinese.
05:46 People like to be in the circle they're familiar with.
05:49 They don't have many opportunities.
05:52 It's a contribution to the problem.
05:55 In school,
05:57 whether I was in primary or secondary school,
06:00 I studied Malay to communicate.
06:02 I didn't really have the opportunity to communicate.
06:06 Everyone studied to pass the exam.
06:09 That's the situation.
06:12 It's not the first time the government
06:14 has called on Chinese to learn Malay.
06:16 In the past, An Hua had repeatedly emphasized
06:19 that the government must use Malay to learn Chinese.
06:22 The Minister of Interior, Sai Fudin,
06:24 also mentioned that as a person from Myanmar,
06:26 it is natural to know Mandarin.
06:28 After hearing the people's answers,
06:30 do you agree with them?
06:32 Or do you disagree with them?
06:34 Please leave a comment.
06:38 Ask a Chinese teacher.
06:40 Ask a Chinese teacher.
06:42 Ask a Chinese teacher.
06:44 Ask a Chinese teacher.
