[@TARS..]

He has a very slight Malay/Chinese accent to his English. That’s how you know he’s been in Malaysia for a very long time.

[@rinky_dinky]

[@sedrictakahiro9924]

I would say the opposite. He has lost quite a lot on the aussie or stereotypical white english accent.

Nordin Abdullah really easy and nice person to talk too. Very knowledgeable about Malaysia and Singapore. Cool.

[@taqwadynamic]

Thank you Mr Nordin for your wisdom. Hearing his style of speech, makes me feels like he's been through a lot but because of his persistant, he is thriving. That is a good motivational speech right there. Because it motivate me too. Maybe something will go my way in 3 years, 5 years or in the future. As long as I persist and keep going, there well be a reward. I feel that when he said, "If you stop, you're dead. If you backwards, you're dead. So the way is forward." Thank you. I really need to hear that.

[@norhanaschumacher7751]

He has learned to speak English with a Malay accent, which is quite interesting!

[@inamohde]

Kudos Nordin Abdullah and very classic name as well. Generally, Malaysians speak Manglish rapidly, like they would their own tongue. So, I told friends to speak slower Manglish to foreigners so that they are understood. There is nothing wrong with Manglish. According to my teacher, Mr John Hill, the purpose of a language is to be understood and as long as foreigners can understand you, that language works.

[@MollyHJohns]

With time, some people can grow into the place and culture they settle in, some don't. It is based on talent (natural linguist), affinity (soul and heart connection), and perception (can they accept the strange or alien language or culture and assimilate with them, or will they stay mentally separated from them as strangers with strong and exclusive individuality?). That's what I can observe so far, at least. And now we know at least three white men had settled down in Malaysia so far and married the local Malay women and they're quite well-known on KZbin.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank you for this video. Wonderful to see Nordin Abdullah in your interview again.

[@laychun85]

It’s so true about the context, seems like he’s well integrated to Malaysia culture

[@cheapskatetrio4942]

[@DeepFriedDoom]

He's lived in Malaysia since he was a kid, so he probably never had an Aussie accent.

Singaporean here : AFAIK Manglish differs from different parts of malaysia, for example KL have their style , Penang have their own style albeit minute . i know for example a very Malaysia style of manglish is the use of the word Simply " eh that feller SIMMMMMPLY WALK ONLY!

[@henrytan5588]

This dude has not lost his OZ accent. When he meet another Aussie then he would switch to his OZ accent. If he speak Manglis he did not do Malayan a favour. Speaking Manglis only fail to encourage others to speak proper BBC English. In Singapore it is amazing to have a common Singapore type of English these days. Previously TV News reader had to fake a British accent but not American spoken English. Since the introduction of the Malay language, Malaya have lost the ability to read and spoke proper BBC English. This Aussie is not doing Malayan any favour. I have switch off listening to the radio as poor English is spoken. In Singapore TV News reader do speak with a kind of English accent or they speak Singapore as taught in schools. Malaya policy in speaking Malay is doing the public not to speak proper BBC English. If the person is not proficient in English then they are unable to follow the English used in Computer science. Singapore is light years ahead of Malaya but non Malay thrives because they speak 3 languages - Malay, English and Putonghua. The public needs to speak and write in Putonghua as more and more investment come to Malaysia. The Malay language Act have killed the English language. But the Malay is not bothered at all .
