寂寞的非我族类

我在拉曼大学唸MBA。众所周知,拉曼大学是马华公会所设,学生也是以华人居多。就以我上的OB班为例,十多名学生只有一位是印裔,其余均为华人。学生在课室里以华语交谈,听不懂的印裔同学成了局外人,孤零零的褪到一旁。

记得唸中学时,我的一位华文老师常常对我们说:『华人必须讲华语!』身为马来西亚华人,学习母语的确值的鼓励。但我们是否可以在适当的时候,放下对母语的坚持和执着,以增进和非华人的沟通?毕竟这里是马来西亚,不是中国!

    I have one more subject to go, plus a damn thesis. It's definitely tough to work and study at the same time. Which explains why I don't take pictures very often.

    So you must be a rare breed in your class, just like me.

  6. 我从来没想过这个问题,我对华人说华语,对马来人说国语,对印度人说英语(不会说印度话),就是这样平常,拿来的寂寞言论?^_^

  7. In a multi-racial society, this problem is quite difficult to eliminate....that's why I like Olympic spirit where all ahtletes compete regardless of race or nationality..

  8. i think it's quite normal when a bunch of chinese gather together and speak mandarin, i am sure the indians will understand as well. of course, it's good to have someone to translate to them if you wish to involve them in your conversations. if not, it will be quite weird for chinese friends to speak english to one another right?

  11. 學習其他語言是對自己的增值, 在別人面前說他們的語言, 是對自己對別人的一種尊重..
