M'sia prime minister wants Malay to be second language in Asean

[BabyBlade]

Ismail Sabri put forth this idea on March 23, in response to questions in the Upper House (Dewan Negara) asking about efforts to elevate the country's mother tongue at the international level and if the Malaysia government would work with Asean leaders to coordinate the use of Malay at the regional level.

Malay in use in many countries in region

Ismail Sabri said apart from Malaysia, Malay was used as a medium of instruction in several neighbouring countries such as Indonesia, Brunei and Singapore, as well as in southern Thailand, southern Philippines and in parts of Cambodia.

There were hundreds of thousands of people who can speak Malay in Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, he said.

Ismail Sabri said, according to Bernama: “So there is no reason why we cannot make Bahasa Melayu as one of the official languages of Asean."

"We will coordinate on this matter and I will discuss with the leaders of countries that do use Bahasa Melayu so that they agree to make it the second language of Asean."

Elaborating on the matter, Ismail Sabri said: “At this time, only four out of 10 Asean countries use English in official events at the international level. Whereas six other countries use their mother tongues for official matters which require translation.”
