Aiyah, that cuntry is regressing to the slumps. Nobody bothers to learn that what language that is not progressive. 
People prefer to learn international languages like England and China lah. More progressive languages and can be used internationally

If learn a language can earn monies then learn ok. Chinese in Msia learn Malay unless want to work in Msia else why learn? Her dotter is 14 years old no need serve NS so I think can just apply for Spore citizenship and migrate away from Msia. Msia Malay want to see more Chinese, Indian leave lagi better for them. Lastly I think the mother dunno Msian culture lah makan suap is norm she just need to know connections. E.g before go inside the office outside sure got Chinese stand outside offer you express service for getting a passport for a price. The passport are authentic btw. She maybe long time work Spore forget about Msia culture and that is makan suap when the ocassion call for it.
