BENTONG: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for an end to prolonged bickering over language issues to create a more competitive and united future for Malaysian children.

The Prime Minister said the government’s multilingual education approach is not to undermine the status of Bahasa Malaysia as the national and official language, but to strengthen national unity and provide all students with equal opportunities to master multiple languages.
