JOHOR BARU: It is high time that Malaysians change their way of thinking that mastering a foreign language is the only way for the country to achieve developed status, says Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal.

“It is up to us, the people of Malaysia, to bring our national language to a higher level by practising it in our daily usage, whether it is in business, debate, writing, documentation or research in language, ” he said, pointing out that it has been 62 years since independence.
