Farriz macam monyet

[@walidsulaiman5269]

lol why y'all bully Fariz

[@michelleherdian]

Kitorang kene lebih lagi menghargai PD Farriz. Oleh sebab itu, akan lebih baik jika kita sebut: "Farriz macam orangutan". Nape? Pasal orangutan merupakan lambang yang mewakili negara Singapura di kancah dunia (ingatkan arwah Ah Meng kat Sg Zoo?). "Macam orangutan" ade marwah jauh lebih tinggi daripada "macam monyet" je~ 🤭😜😎🤓

Funny that Fikah is going around testing her colleague's Malay cos in the past video with Zhin testing her, her Malay rabak HAHAHAH

This video is so refreshing that we finally have a Malay content in Singapore representing our National Language

[@HighKrasher]

For our non sporean friends, malay is our national language but the different races study their mother tongue instead, unlike malaysia where everyone has to learn Malay!

[@belle_pomme]

Everyone has to learn Malay and English but they can also learn their mother tongue. Chinese Malaysian can speak Mandarin well while knowing various Chinese dialects.

[@HighKrasher]

@@belle_pomme Yep! Ps I just specified Malay cause people were commenting about how sporeans can't speak our national language

[@belle_pomme]

@@HighKrasher I'm wondering if Singaporeans can take more than one mother tongue class? For example, if a Malay wants to learn Chinese in addition to Malay.

[@leoesque2803]

⁠@@belle_pomme They can but it’s usually out of curriculum. In school, usually Malay, Mandarin & some Tamil class happens at same time period. So, taking two official languages at same time in school is hard. Any other language class other than English & own mother tongue is usually taken out of curriculum or as elective subject.

[@bensontan7409]

You malaysian just don't understand Singapore education.National language is Malay but Only Malay takes BM as a 2nd language in school where else other races learn their own mother tongue.English is official working language in Singapore so english is a wide spoken language in Singapore.

[@kamariahabdrahim6963]

@tsukasa1608 As our late Lee Kuan Yew said Singapore is NOT a chinese neither malay nor Indian country though chinese is majority in Singapore and priorities more on English language as a official language and still keep the other 3 languages intact for every races in the community.

[@nthn500]

​@@kamariahabdrahim6963 Tapi LKY masih mengakui bahwa Malay ialah penduduk asli Singapura. Jadi itu dia menjadikan Bahasa Melayu menjadi bahasa nasional walaupun itu hanya symbolic saja. Dalam article 152 kat SG constitution pun, Malay mendapat special position sebab statusnya sebagai penduduk asli. Jadi itu secara tidak langsung bahwa LKY mengakui bahwa Singapura itu Tanah Melayu historically.
