00:00 The Ministry of Education has instructed all the primary schools in China to forcibly order three popular media outlets to publish the Malay newspaper
00:09 to cultivate students' reading culture and strengthen their Malay ability.
00:15 For this announcement, Bai Ge went to the streets to ask the public what they think of this measure.
00:22 Can it really help students strengthen and master their reading ability in Mandarin?
00:28 Let's hear what the public think.
00:31 That is fine. I think it's okay because we are living in Malaysia.
00:37 So probably the main language that we use here in Malaysia,
00:42 so by reading newspapers and learning more Malay, I think it's helpful.
00:46 So that is no issues from my end.
00:48 If the school forcibly orders the Malay newspaper, it's not bad. It's something that can help students learn more.
01:00 In Malaysia, we speak Malay. So we definitely need to learn it.
01:05 It can help students build a foundation in the institution and learn Malay faster.
01:15 Because we have three languages in Malaysia. Malay, Chinese and English.
01:20 I think it's okay. For all Malaysians, the main language is Malay.
01:31 The Malay newspaper should be read for their knowledge in Malay.
01:36 I think it's good that people read the Malay language. Let's not destroy the Indian and Chinese newspapers.
