I don't think you need to apologize for writing your genuine authentic thoughts. This is very thought-provoking indeed.
I am a Malaysian and hmm my son can't speak my mother tongue yet which is Mandarin Chinese. I don't think he may ever learn my dialect too which was not passed on after me even among my siblings. On some days it does sadden me. On most days, I am honestly not doing anything about it too. I am wishing to still let my son go to a Chinese school to experience that part of the culture that I am in. Hopefully it isn't too late by then.
Yeah when a language dies, the whole culture will go with it too. Really hope that doesn't happen some day even as we "evolve" into modernization.
Thank you for your respond. I'm glad that someone shares my opinion on this matter. Let's hope that our nation could do more about this problem.
