Right, BM is national language, not a race language. All nation should be able to speak their own country nation language, else it is embarrassing…

You are right.
There are Chinese and Indians who couldn’t speak BM at all after decades of becoming a Malaysian citizen. In the USA if you can’t speak English you are not eligible to get citizenship.
It is wrong to consider BM only for Malays ; it is a national language which is for the purpose of unifying the citizen. You should be proud to able to speak BM well because you are a Malaysian . All Malays think highly of non- Malays who are fluent in Malay. Actually you can make more Malay friends. Chinese in Malay villages have close friendship with the Malays because they could talk and joke with the Malays.
I also think Chinese language should be a subject in all national type schools. asm

It’s more a personal thing lo… Any school, as long as the desire of learning bahasa will help. But who cares now?

Agree…!!! That’s y I think single stream of school is the only way to achieve national unity… but I support Chinese education too… hmmm… contradicting…
