Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul
Rahman, the special officer at the Prime Minister’s Office Kamarul Zaman
Yusoff, and the Internationalising Bahasa Malaysia Symposium – three
individuals and an irrelevant event that reflect the lost direction this
unfortunate country is embarking upon.
The rest of the world is
busy exploring fresh options and opportunities in a rapidly changing
environment, and Malaysia is engaged in reconfirming its kampung
mentality and acute insecurity. After the famous Malay Dignity Congress, who is the Einstein who
decided that Bahasa Malaysia is worthy of becoming an international
language?
It is used by a handful of people and hardly
encountered in Singapore, Beijing, New Delhi, London, Moscow, Cairo, or
even Kabul and some clowns want to turn it international? Even the
Chinese do not have crazy ideas of making Mandarin a language the sun
never sets upon.
Yes, Ismail Sabri, you will make it to the history books. But for many unintended reasons. Next,
we come to Malaysian pillars of leadership in mediocrity, Tajuddin and
Kamarul Zaman. Is this the best Ismail Sabri could dredge up to fulfil
some positions?
Considering the standards they come equipped
with, one would have expected the government to instead take firm
measures to hide these two from public view, lest the world tars all
Malaysians with the same brush.
Appointing Tajuddin as our
ambassador to Indonesia may even be seen as an attempt to further insult
our long-suffering neighbours. The less said about Kamarul Zaman, the
University Utara Malaysia professor, the better. Yeah, sure, when I grow up, I want to be Tajuddin or Kamarul Zaman or Ismail Sabri.
