Many "bananas" here in Malaysia (implying yellow on the outside but white inside, a pejorative really! Meaning Chinese who can't speak their common language Mandarin or at least their own mother tongue "dialect" (language really, in their own right!) feel proud and adequate that they are able instead to speak two languages, English and Malay
Really?
Not being able to speak one's common language or at least one's own mother tongue 'dialect" (language in its own right truly!) is a shortcoming, nothing to be proud of and to boast about leh!
One should at least make an effort to learn and master one's common language and mother tongue "dialect'
The more languages one masters the better off in all ways.
For the nons here in Malaysia, they should master or at least try to master three languages.
Knowing only two languages is a shortcoming not to be proud of leh!
Especially not being able to speak one's own common language or mother tongue dialect and and yet have the cheeks to look down on one's own heritage.
Ai yo yo!!!
