the old habit still hangs


The old habit still hangs
The language of progress
The Old Man keeps telling
Master English to conquer the world
In trade, inventions, interactions
It seems the little napoleons
They want to stay in the cave
A directive to use Bahasa Malaysia
It will never bring forward the nation
The Old Man requests seem ignored
How to progress in one language?

The political will must be enforced
Every civil servant must be proficient in English
They are dealing with many people of different backgrounds
English language can be easily transcended the barrier
Catch the little napoleons and put them in the cage
Do not let them roam free to create problems
The nation has enough on her plate
We don't need another to block her progress

We spend millions to educate them in English
We shouldn't throw back and live in the old cocoon
The world is for our progress and recognition
English language will be the one make us known
Heed the Old Man advice
English is the gateway to progress and wealth
