Engineering marvel unveiled: Kai Tak Sports Park sets new standards in design and innovation

The article from Sin Chew Daily discusses the ongoing debate over the use of English in Malaysia, particularly in the context of education and national identity. It highlights the historical shift from English to Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction in schools post-independence, and the subsequent decline in English proficiency among Malaysians. The piece notes the current push for a dual-language program (DLP) in schools, where both English and Bahasa Malaysia are used, aiming to improve English language skills while maintaining the national language's prominence.

The article also touches on the political and cultural sensitivities surrounding language policy, with some advocating for the preservation of Bahasa Malaysia as a unifying national language, while others see English as crucial for global competitiveness and economic advancement.
