The importance of taking the harder option


NEW YORK, 24 Sept -- Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi menyampaikan ucapan pada Perbahasan Umum Sesi Ke-71 Perhimpunan Agung Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (UNGA) di Ibu Pejabat Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu pada Sabtu.--fotoBERNAMA (2016) HAK CIPTA TERPELIHARA

It was admittedly not the best of speeches in English. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had difficulty pronouncing some big words and he wasn’t a smooth talker. But at least he tried, instead of turning to his familiar Bahasa Malaysia which would have been an easier option.

THE Deputy Prime Minister has never hidden the fact that he needs to improve his command of the English language. In fact, he openly tells his friends that he has to brush up his English now that he needs to speak at international meetings.
