The author, a retired teacher, believes that local educators are better qualified to teach English than foreign volunteers due to their understanding of local nuances. The article suggests implementing firm policies, such as making a compulsory pass in English for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exam, similar to Bahasa Malaysia and Sejarah. This action would signal the government's commitment to improving English standards. The author emphasizes that while reviving English proficiency will take time, similar to its decline over decades, it is crucial for Malaysia to regain its competitive edge. The article calls for a clear timeline and collaboration among all agencies, with school administrators playing a role in promoting the language. It also clarifies that efforts to promote English should not be seen as undermining Bahasa Malaysia, which is constitutionally protected, but rather as fostering a generation of bilingual or multilingual
