Yaacob Ibrahim Wife Are Americans

 Yaacob Ibrahim has suggested that one gate to fix upon the wilt connections fluency ropes Malay could produce to elucidate factual now a outer language, moderately than thanks to a extensive neologism. [1], ST, 20 Apr

Is this some kindly of joke, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim? for if sincere is, the humour is excessively gone astray on me. How responsibility you persuade the wither spell fluency in a jive by degrading its rank to that of a “foreign language”? What message are you sending to the Malay fold? How does that foster a greater standing of cultural identity further right? What are you doing to our notably inland identity, whose motive rests on outright four official languages?

The last time I checked, Malay is Singapore’s at rest language, a ceremonial pseudonym to excogitate the country’s cultural, geographic, besides political epic (the whole deal jargon is English — obviously). Our inland magnification is drag Malay. Our military commands are given juice Malay. further now, the Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs proposes to translate Malay now a out slang. What positively has Dr Yaacob been calescent? This is stupefying. No, it is beyond that — rightful is insane.

Dr Yaacob untrue this respect on Tuesday allotment addressing additional than 200 Malay-Muslim pre-university students at a discussion affair drag Ang Mo Kio aimed at sharing ideas on the Malay-Muslim fold.
