Malacca govt’s English move should be lauded


THE Malacca Chief Minister’s stance that top state officials must pass English as part of the criteria for future promotions should be lauded.

The CM pointed out that graduates should be able to understand simple English “but sadly this is not the case in Malacca”. He said that being weak in English is not good for the image of Malacca as a top global tourist destination and skills in the language must be improved in order to draw investments and tourists.
