English can still become the language of knowledge and communication among Malaysians,” Raja Zarith Sofiah told the Royal Press Office at Istana Bukit Serene here. “My dream is to see young Malaysians pursue education at world-class universities like Harvard or Oxford and go on to become CEOs of global companies. To achieve such goals, they need to learn the English language,” she stressed. “That is why renewed efforts are needed to inspire and motivate our young to learn English seriously,” she said. Raja Zarith Sofiah pointed out that many Malaysians, having mastered English, have made the nation proud by holding distinguished academic or corporate positions abroad.
