PETALING JAYA: It is time for the political powers that be to admit they failed to use the Malay language to unite Malaysia’s multiracial society, says an expert in ethnic studies.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia professor Teo Kok Seong said Malaysians currently lack a common identity as a result of the failure of the government to set the right policies.


“We need to acknowledge that we have failed to use the Malay language to foster unity, even though language has the ability to bring people together,” he said at a forum this evening, referring to Indonesia’s achievement in uniting 1,500 ethnic groups through the common use of Bahasa Indonesia.

Teo said Malaysia needs to look at where it failed when it came to using Malay to unite the people.

He said many citizens were not proud of, nor had affection for, the national language. Teo urged the Malay community to be at the forefront in elevating the language. “We need a change of attitude towards the Malay language and it must come from Malays themselves.”


A former Universiti Malaya lecturer, Nik Safiah Karim said Malays themselves were not proud of their mother tongue but instead took greater pleasure in speaking other languages.

“Before we promote the use of Malay outside Malaysia, we should work on appreciating and respecting our own language. Attitude is important. I find there is no sense of pride among Malaysians for the language, what more among Malays themselves for their mother tongue.”

Even the leaders of Malay-based parties used very little Malay when championing their cause, she said.

Last month, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he would propose that Malay be adopted as Asean’s second official language, in an effort to elevate Malay at the international level.
PETALING JAYA：一位种族研究专家说，现在是政治权力承认他们未能使用马来语来团结马来西亚多种族社会的时候了。

马来西亚国民大学教授 Teo Kok Seong 表示，由于政府未能制定正确的政策，马来西亚人目前缺乏共同的身份认同。


“我们需要承认，我们未能使用马来语来促进团结，尽管语言有能力将人们聚集在一起，”他在今晚的一个论坛上说，他指的是印度尼西亚通过共同语言团结了 1,500 个民族的成就。使用印度尼西亚语。

张说，马来西亚需要看看它在使用马来语团结人民方面失败的地方。

他说，许多公民不为国语感到自豪，也不喜欢国语。 Teo 敦促马来社区站在提升语言的最前沿。 “我们需要改变对马来语的态度，它必须来自马来人自己。”


前马来亚大学讲师 Nik Safiah Karim 说，马来人自己并不为自己的母语感到自豪，而是更喜欢说其他语言。

“在我们在马来西亚以外推广使用马来语之前，我们应该努力欣赏和尊重我们自己的语言。态度很重要。我发现马来西亚人对这门语言没有任何自豪感，马来人自己更不用说他们的母语了。”

她说，即使是马来政党的领导人在支持他们的事业时也很少使用马来语。

上个月，总理伊斯梅尔·萨布里·雅科布（Ismail Sabri Yaakob）表示，他将提议将马来语作为东盟的第二官方语言，以努力将马来语提升到国际水平。
