Recently, the Minister of Housing and Local Government , Nga Kor Ming, took to his X profile to showcase the newly upgraded Ayer Tawar Market in Perak.
In a Facebook post, he shared, “Congratulations to KPKT for their success in renovating the public market in Ayer Tawar. But I do have to ask a question, is there an urgent need to have 3 languages on the wall of the market?” “In actuality, there is only a need for Bahasa Malaysia, there is no need to write in other languages. Do Malaysians who are non-Malays not understand Bahasa Malaysia in its simplest f0rm?”
“Have you been to Ayer Tawar? Ayer Tawar is a mixed area, with a roughly balanced population of the 3 main ethnicities. As far as the 3 languages on the signboard goes, there is absolutely no issue.”
