I know for the fact that what ever I'll say here might and will offend some people... But I guess, if we really want to be a nation that moves forward, we should eliminate this feeling of offended when people pointed out our shortcomings!
Yesterday, there was a havoc over Nelly's tweet about the level of English among Malaysians! He wasn't criticisizing actually.. he was merely conveying his opinion when he know for the actual fact that some Malaysians can't communicate well using the language but can actually sing in English during his concert for Suara Kami!
Some replied his tweet by cursing.. like what Sassy the Don did! As part of this country... I felt so ashamed with that sort of responses!!! Come on.... face the fact... not many Malaysians can converse well in English!!! This is indeed an indicator how people... including myself can be shallow at times and we tend to take people's word ----- like literally!!!! pffftttt -----annoying betul!
What we should do as fellow Malaysians is to make him understand our nature when it comes to English... make him understand that we have a handful of people who might not be able to speak so to say but they excel in writing in English that is!!! Throwing wild thoughts and assumptions just prove that we are so cepat berkecil hati, judgmental...and juga terasa diri bagus sgt!! Oh come on fellow Malaysians... we are better than that!!
