KUALA LUMPUR: Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, the Kedah state government is mulling over increasing the number of Bahasa Malaysia words prohibited for use by non-Muslims from 24 to 55.
Speaking out against this proposed ban, MCA Central Committee member Chin Tung Leong said, “It is feared that the proposed ban will limit the usage of Bahasa Malaysia.”
He also said the proposed ban would “slowly but surely make Bahasa Malaysia a language for Muslims only” and widen the racial gap between Malaysians.
Saying that communications between Muslims and non-Muslims will be greatly restricted, Chin, who is also MCA Overseas Liaison Bureau Deputy Chairman added that this would go against the government’s efforts to make Bahasa Malaysia a language of international calibre.
