That said, use of English is also important because like any other language than English, how many people can speak or understand a single spanish, italian, chinese, malay etc…English is now the lingua franca./ We use it not because it is any better than BM or any other language..but it bridges everyone.

However, to make BM what it was ( it was used as a trading language, did u know that?) there are many issues that the government need to look at. Campaign is one thing, but what about the idle DBP..they only talked among themselves and do nothing that excite people to wonder about the language. Then what about the official letters to the ministries. it was required to use malay last time i remember..now we can use basically anything. These are smaller issues as compared to the attraction of the language to make others want to learn it. Like, economic and cultural relations of the country with others. What are the ambassadors and tourist promotion offices doing ..does anyone know?
