KUALA LUMPUR: The National Language Implementation Committee, to be set up soon, is expected to be able to find the best method of promoting the proper use of Bahasa Malaysia thus ensuring its position as the country's national language.
Deputy Education Minister Datuk Ir Dr Wee Ka Siong said the establishment of the committee was one of the government's commitment to address the problem of the abuse of the Malay language, including the rampant use of mixed language or 'bahasa rojak' by radio announcers, commercials on radio and television as well as billboards.
"The Deputy Prime Minister (Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin) will chair the meeting on the formation of the National Language Implementation Committee on Nov 30, and with the existence of this mechanism, whatever problems on the use of the language can be concluded and a solution found...we are certainly working very hard to correct what is incorrect," he said.
Wee said this at the Dewan Rakyat sitting when replying to a supplementary question from Ismail Mohamed Said (BN-Kuala Krau) who had asked when the government would actually implement all legislations formulated to ensure the proper use of the Malay language in the country.
Commenting further, Wee said the government was also considering on amending the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) Act 1959 which would empower the agency in enforcing the proper use of the Malay Language and to address the problem of mixed language.
Earlier, replying to the original question from Ismail, Wee said that besides Article 152 of the Federal Constitution, there were several other legislations that were being enforced in the country concerning the position of the Malay language as the national language. more here
