PETALING JAYA: Malaysians who prefer English over Bahasa Malaysia are trapped in a colonial mindset, says PAS President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang.

"Ignore the incoherent voices that are delirious, because these are either people who are still sleeping in the shadow of the colonial era, or those who are crazy in wanting to force the abandonment of Bahasa Malaysia," said the Marang MP in a statement on Sunday (July 3).
