The local lingo


While Malay language classes are compulsory at this private university, some foreign students have found appreciation in the language and are keen to learn further.

AFTER only two years in Malaysia, Iraqi student Ali Haidar can confidently converse in Malay, and even introduced himself in the language, saying: “Selamat Pagi. Nama saya Ali Haidar. Saya dari Baghdad, Iraq. Saya ada dua adik perempuan, dua adik lelaki.”
