KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — Individuals who do not respect the national language can be fined up to RM50,000 or sentenced to imprisonment through amendments to the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka Act 1959.
“This is not about grammar or spelling errors, but disrespect for the national language. The proposed fine is not to punish but to evoke love and patriotism to the country,” he told reporters after attending DBP’s 66th Anniversary celebration here today. Awang said DBP also proposed that the National Language Act be amended in line with the amendments to the DBP Act so that it could carry out its duties as a language enforcer more effectively.
A very dangerous proposed law. One could be accused of disrespecting the language if he or she cannot speak in it profiecently.
Huh Wht the.....is going on here?
Define disrespect. Pls grow up u big baby. Respect is earned. What r u doing to encourage the respect of the language? Forcing pple to use it does the opposite.
Nampak sangat dbp pun takde kerja
Should be specific, disrespect is quiet loose & general...
This is such a bad idea. Why is this country becoming more fascistic. Huge chip on the shoulder of these so called patriots.
Dear Malaysians, i wonder wht had happen when the judicial was insulted, when the voters was insulted, when the people were insulted and when the nature was insulted. They all walk free and happy. Now B Melayu not B Malaysia. Only for Melayu?
Langkah pertama, semua anak dan cucu Menteri2 kena belajar disekolah kebangsaan.
Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, saya sokong kita perlu ada Bahasa Kebangsaan kita sendiri.
Sembang kari
Everyone want to say something? Move on la...
Fahami maksud 'tak menghormati', 'tersalah' dan 'sengaja'. iktibar rakyat
Could he state the relevant law?
Yng guna dialect 'kite' 'saye' tu mcm mana pula? Sebab ejaan perkataan tu 'kita' dn 'saya'
A lot of us don’t speak bahasa baku including our malay friends. Is that a form of disrespect too? Lol
How does one disrespect bahasa
Bodoh sial.
Tukar balik nama2 seperti MRT, LRT.. Atau saman kerajaan Malaysia kerana tak hormat Bahasa.
Short sighted, unwise and childish…. this is the kind of quality you will receive from an officer who are not keeping abreast with the progress around him Nd in the world… poor him !!!
Already 2022 and our country is still stirring issue like this..
Hidup Kerajaan Melayu-Islam Umno-Paliban Malaysia.... Soon we must do everything you say...or go straight to jail...except boosku...Masih jalan jalan cuti cuti!
so those who don't speak bahasa melayu as 1st language like the Ibans, Kayans, Muruts, Dusuns, Melanaus, Kedayans, Bajaus, Kadazans & many other non malay natives are in danger of breaking the law lah?
Give respect and take respect, understand
Define clearly what is disrespect? Respect is earn. Not using a hammer to earn it.
🥹😅😂😂😂

Who is he, getting pay out from rakyat
Competition for the fools trophy in malaysia has so many contenders. Another one just joined the list.
But legal action against Najib until today no action one ... so how lehhh
More explanation needed on what situations and type of offences it is looking at to curtail. A story like this just creates more anger when DBP does not explain in detail.
So sapa2 dok ghebang loghat negeri masing2 dianggap tidak hormat Bahasa Melayu. Bahasa Melesia still OK
Basically you’re encouraging us to stop using bahasa la kan.
Bahasa Malaysia!!!
The wiser way is to EARN the respect for our national language Bahasa Malaysia NOT to COERCE others to respect by using cruel laws. Good examples like Japanese and Korean language. DBPMalaysia
Will criticizing the DBP or the DBP Board Chairman be considered a ‘disrespect’ of the Bahasa Melayu?
Get all your government officials to first speak in proper Malay first!
The DBP Board Chairman should explain what constitutes ‘disrespect’ of the Bahasa Melayu under the amendment. How about examples?
Those speak own dialects at home, kampung2, might be in danger…? Just curious…
Wartawan Malay Mail gagal mendapat huraian maksud tidak menghormati Bahasa Malaysia daripada Pengerusi DBP. Harap Malay Mail berusaha lebih gigih untuk mendapat butiran² berita dengan mendalam demi kefahaman masyarakat dan menyerlahkan amanah mereka sebagai pemberita
