While the legislation encompasses all foreign languages, it is particularly geared at “Anglomania” or use of English words, which the draft states “demeans and mortifies” the Italian language, adding that it is even worse because the UK is no longer part of the EU.

Agee Malay shohld be complulsory, and English too. Also at school level. Mother tongue 2nd. Singapore's national language IS Malay. Also, our immediate 3 neighbours are Malaysia. Brunei and Indonesia. ( even though its Bahasa Indo, with similarities)
