it is all about attitude. Chinese is ur mother-tongue, it is
simply disgraceful that u cannot write or speak a proper sentence
of Chinese. I mean, we are only learning English because of our
colonial past, and also because English is the medium which people
all around the world communicate in. If u can be fluent in that,
there is no reason why we cannot attempt to learn more about our
Chinese history, culture etc. I can never understand how come my
friends and cousins always seem to struggle in Chinese.
It is not the education system to be blamed. After all, how many
ways are there to gauge how good ur chinese is? The Govt has in
fact make chinese so much simpler nowadays by having 'B' Chinese,
and not needing to pass Chinese as a minimum result for entry into
Uni. This is the wrong thing to do, because all u are saying is
that Chinese REALLY is not that impt. If this goes on, i doubt our
next generation can even know how 2 speak it, much less write
