Then do you know what are the other 3 languages of Malaysia?
I understand that Malaysia has declared one same national and official language, Bahasa Melayu of course. I've attended their Parlimen. Even their Chinese MPs speak Malay fluently. However, English is still prominent in law as Malaysia also inherited the English common law system with volumes of law books written in English and not practicably translatable to Malay. The finance industry is also bilingual, if you have Malaysian bank or brokerage accounts, your statements would come in both languages.
Chinese and Tamil have no official language status in Malaysia.
