Mampus pi lah dengan Bahasa Inggeris, duduk bersila lah tepi dapur, makan lah dengan tangan, mandi perigi lah, bela ayam saja lah

 Mula kita dengar apa kata Pak Lebai :

 

Hello Pak Lebai, orang dok rumah flat nak bela ayam di mana? Flat PPRT dua bilik saja, tinggi sampai 20 tingkat.  Kalau ibu, ayah serta lima orang anak kongsi se-ekor ayam sehari pun, lima hari saja habis lah lima ekor ayam. Esok kalau bekalan daging tak cukup macam mana pula? Lembu pula payah nak naik lif. Makcik Lembu Kondo pun tak boleh bantu kita.

 

Hari tu Brader Ma'el suruh penjawat awam guna bahasa Melayu. Sekarang KSN pula kasi warning kalau penjawat awam guna bahasa Inggeris akan dikenakan tindakan pula !!  

Yang berikut adalah reaksi oleh Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz dan kumpulan G25:

JPA to consider punitive measures to enforce Malay in civil service, GLCs

Rafidah described the move as regressive 

civil servants should raise proficiency in English and other languages

She sympathised with Miti officers who deal with foreign community

doing a disservice to the country.

We should be progressing, not regressing, sliding backwards and downwards

focus on substance, not form

Yang berikut pula kenyataan media kumpulan G25 berkenaan isu yang sama:
