English is Malaysian

Let's hope that this would eventually come true for Malaysians. May the standard of our English language reach a level of equal competency with the rest of the world. May English be taught as a first language to our children. May this move further encourage freedom of speech and expression. May more aspiring writers rise from our future generations.

The implication of the minister's statement should also equally imply that Chinese, Tamil, Hindi, French, German, etc... is also our language.

Dear sir, perhaps he meant English with Malaysian flavour. Besides, is it true by 2050 the the non-native speakers of English would outnumber the native speakers of English? I mean to say this with most respect to you but something that escapes me is the inner circle and outer circles of English that is used globally. Sorry if I am not making a point.
