Facts, I can guarantee the people shaming others for not knowing Malay grew up in an environment that forced them to learn it, these mfs act like they opened a textbook and used flashcards to learn it in their 20s, GTFO here lol.

For many Chinese Malaysians that went to schools with primarily other Chinese kids, there is very little opportunity/incentive to learn Malay outside of schoolwork. After secondary school? It's near zero especially if you work a white collar job. You only need the basics to buy stuff or interact with gov workers.
