| Summary: | The paper highlights the impact of the Singapore’s bilingual education policy on the Malay
language and how the language has been regarded a foreign language in the Singapore
context given the interest of policy makers in the implementation of a new third language
policy. The growth can be hampered, however, to some concerns arising from the bilingual
policy namely inadequate manpower, teaching materials, lack of resources and opportunities
for using the language. |
