Several young participants on the floor humbly apologise to Tun for asking questions in English. They realize all eyes were towards them, they realize they do not speak in the language that UMNO fight for, they look timid at times, losing ground. Then came one chap, introduced himself, this one attracts more attention, he spoke with an English accent as if he lives in the UK all his life. Tun acknowledged him and gave him the attention he needed.
He gracefully put it that recent development in Malaysia's politic brought him to the forum although he has no interest in politic during Tun’s reign, that was his exact words. To that Tun nodded in agreement.
To me, these are the young Malaysian who are passionate about UMNO or BN but ignored and neglected by UMNO or BN.
As Malay, I am proud that I am able to speak, understand the many Malay dialects, to be able to understand a few words of Cantonese or Tamil, especially the swearing ones. I thank god, I was able read all Archer's books and I think all of us should read Archer's paperbacks.
Then came one Malay Wanita, Puteri, I don’t know, criticizing all those who came from the floor that speaks English, she went to the extend raising her hands to the left and to the right, pointing at those who speaks English, this is how she put it, “Mengapakah di dalam forum ini ada yang berbahasa Inggeris.?”
What is her problem? It is this sort of silly cow that made the opposition won in the last GE.

If the young or old are comfortable to express their feelings in English and if this English Language that you hate so much will assist us in building this nation, So Be It !!!

Haha.. I pity this organisation for having such a member and unfortunately she not the only one, there's more.. many more... And yes, these type of people would kill not only this organisation, but even the society they live in. They see the world only from the angle they want to see it and only open to opinion from only the people they want to.
If that young bloke, would have addressed his questions in arabic, and with a translator (with the notion that most of us dont understand arabic), I'm sure it wouldn't have been an issue.
Close minded people.. I despise them, a lot..
By the way, isnt UMNO is the abbreviation for 'United Malays National Organisation' which is in 'Bahasa Inggeris'.
Someone should tell her that.. :)
Thanks for your comment. You are right all the way.
