Sinchew also wrote abt it
Ironically sometime last time they talked abt our Chinese
education death. I think they're bitter tat we're better than them
cos of our English so say we lost our Chinese in e meantime
Actually tbh, many of us can still verse and write in Chinese,
just we lost e culture knowledge segment
with the exception of english, I don't think it's possible to be
well versed in any language without imbibing cultural knowledge as
well. You learn any other language together with the cultural
context as well.
And you know what ... I think they may be half right. Our
mandarin sucks, our english sucks too. We even lost our dialects
.....
at least the average malaysian chinese still knows how to speak
canto in addition to mandarin.
