KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) has suggested a new act that gives them more authority, especially in terms of enforcement relating to the misuse of language as well as to provide accreditation of the standard of language at various levels.
DBP board of directors chairman Prof Datuk Seri Dr Awang Sariyan said the draft of the bill, which is now with the Education Ministry, needs to be brought before the Cabinet for approval before it can be presented in Parliament.
