in other languages is a sign that there is a need to re-emphasise the importance of Bahasa Melayu so that it can be truly appreciated by Malaysians.

“We don’t have an intimate relation to the national anthem — no history of it, how it came about, no holistic way to appreciate it. On the viral video clip, he said it was important to understand the context within which the singing was done, and cautioned the public to be aware of those keen on creating discord.“I have been arguing for this for a long time as the education system is too exam-oriented and too functional.
