As a chinese myself, yea I agreed. Why would some Chinese dont even know Malay language? It’s considered very easy and lots of exposure all around. Well, one of a way i learnt my Malay is not really via class or homework, but TV. Watching hk drama growing up, the subtitles were amazing, it taught me so much words and in no time i can write karangan the best in class🤣. I told my classmates, look at the subtitles, line by line, it helps, 200% faster than learning from textbook word by word.
