Second day in my new class , i felt i fall in love with my economic subject , really interesting . But i don't understand something , Why don't our economic , account change into english subject?? If all science subject can use english , why don't do the same thing in commerce instead of wasting more time in university learning the same thing but different language , i understand malay is our national language , so i didn't have any idea about PA that using malay . However , english is an international language , if government change it to english , it will safe some time in the university and it will lead our country economic to higher level. I found that my class english teacher is not as good as my previous class in term of teaching skill , so i think i should learn it myself .

I live in London and if anyone says to me “everyone speaks English” my answer is “Listen and look around you”. If people in London do not speak English then the whole question of a global language is completely open.
The promulgation of English as the world’s “lingua franca” is impractical and linguistically undemocratic. I say this as a native English speaker!
Impractical because communication should be for all and not only for an educational or political elite. That is how English is used internationally at the moment.
Undemocratic because minority languages are under attack worldwide due to the encroachment of majority ethnic languages. Even Mandarin Chinese is attempting to dominate as well. The long-term solution must be found and a non-national language, which places all ethnic languages on an equal footing is essential.
As a native English speaker, my vote is for Esperanto :)
