IT'S DEFINITELY A MUST WATCH VIDEO!!
Language has no right or wrong. Language itself is an art. It should be expressed the way its users prefer. Grammar rules, right word choice etc are restricting the freedom and creativity of its users. As you can see from this video, so much creativity has been put into this local language of Malaysia. At the same time, this local language shows the identity of Malaysian. The slangs, mixture of different languages and vocalized pauses give rise to the diversity in this unique language in our country.
Culture is the root of a nation; so is language. Instead of thinking these languages as lack of proficiency, why don't we take it as a whole new language of US? So, be proud with MALAYSIAN LANGUAGE. No matter how broken Malaysian English is, it's OURS; it's MALAYSIANS' :D
