PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called on Malaysians to put an end to the prolonged bickering over language issues.
He said the government’s multilingual education approach was not meant to undermine the status of Bahasa Melayu as the official language, but rather to strengthen unity and give all students equal opportunities to master multiple languages.
In a Bernama report, Anwar said multilingualism was a valuable asset for meeting global challenges and enhancing the competitiveness of the younger generation without compromising the country’s national identity.
