Embrace our own language, not foreign ones
Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad wants all Malaysians, especially the Malays, to learn English to keep pace with rapid development of knowledge and to avoid being re-colonised by the Western societies.
On the other hand Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is asking them to learn Mandarin because Mandarin is fast becoming the language of commerce.
What's wrong with using the national language as our tool of communication and commerce?
