Thai education sector moots Bahasa Melayu as third language


PETALING JAYA: While some Malaysians debate on the role of our national language, Thailand has taken a step further by mooting Bahasa Melayu as the third language in its education sector.

Syllabus frameworks to teach Bahasa Melayu in secondary schools in Thailand have already been completed which will further enhance the teaching of the language in the country, says Thammasat University East Asian Studies Institute director Assistant Prof Dr Chaiwat Meesanthan.
