Be clear on Bahasa Malaysia usage, government urged

PETALING JAYA: The government has to be clear in its aim about using Bahasa Malaysia in local and international settings or risk losing out, says economist and author Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam.

He said this in response to Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Zuki Ali’s call for the Public Service Department (JPA) to consider punitive measures to enforce the use of Bahasa Malaysia in the civil service.
