Recently, X users are discussing the issue of a Malaysian who is unable to speak our national language and is refused service at their local UTC. Furthermore, the debate is that if you’re a Malaysian, you should be able to speak the local language, while others feel that it is discriminatory. The incident happened at their Penang branch.
UTC staff allegedly refusing to renew passport for non-Malay speaker
X users state that if you don’t understand Malay, you need to at least try to learn it. This is especially for those who have been living in the country for decades. Some claim that even European and South Asian foreigners who come here are able to learn the language within a few years.
Others agree that it should be compulsory for us to speak our language, but the immigration officers should not refuse service towards individuals who are unable to speak it. Some state that these officers would need to screen if the individual is able to speak the language or not.
