Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim criticised certain elite groups for their obsession with the English language, which has led them to underestimate the importance of Bahasa Melayu, the country’s national language.
“I want to remind those overly fixated on the English language that while they may have grown up in London, they live in Malaysia and must represent the hopes and aspirations of the Malaysian people as a whole,“ he said during the launch of National Language Month 2024 at the Ipoh Convention Centre here today.
He further added that a nation’s economic empowerment must go hand in hand with the empowerment of its culture and civilisation, including language, arts and literature.
