Let&rsquo;s talk about Gig Workers.
Gig workers is a person who works a temporary job and is typically in the service sector. Yes, people who freelance very much fall into this category but don&rsquo;t forget, even our food delivery riders are considered gig workers.

&nbsp;
Most of the time, these riders don&rsquo;t have a fixed income and are all solely depend on the number of deliveries and working hours but looks like airasia Super App and airasia Food owner Capital A Bhd have good news for their gig workers as they had announced a full-time employment with a minimum salary of RM3,000!
Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said that alongside the attractive basic salary, riders will also receive perks such as Employee Providence Fund (EPF) and Social Security Organisations (Socso) savings account, medical coverage, annual leaves and even travel benefits.

&nbsp;
&ldquo;We are thrilled to be welcoming the riders into our family. As many people know, airasia has always been about people, and we believe that people are our greatest asset. This applies across all of Capital A&rsquo;s business units, including the airasia Super App.&rdquo;

The company says that they don&rsquo;t believe in contract staff and is now making the move towards employing all their riders as full-time employees. They will receive the same benefits that every Allstar receives as well as excellent benefits from airasia food &amp; airasia Xpress. 
Concerns on overload of applicants
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659680248/unsigned/frbevex6ilhb8lxsy8go.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Now that they are offering all these benefits, surely many people will be interested in applying for the job, right? Head of delivery Lim Ben-Jie had addressed on the issue of overload of applicants.
He says that for now, they will not have any concern as applicants will be subjected to a proper screening process before being hired. 
If it&rsquo;s one thing for sure is that airasia food and airasia Xpress will be seeing a growth of riders. They also noted that this will be a positive thing for the company as they strive to become one of the significant players in the industry such as what Grab and FoodPanda has achieve. 
If you&rsquo;re on the look out for a job then now is the time as AirAsia is still looking to grow as they only have 20 permanent riders for now. 
Aside from the company offering the full-time positions, they even rewarded six new full-time riders with two motorbikes and at least 10 flight tickets. 
Is this an answer to the delivery service strike happening today?

Currently, a protest is going on due to riders being provoked by their companies cutting their wages and requesting them to work longer hours if they want to acquire their targeted wages. Many of the riders had also demanded the delivery platforms to contribute to EPF and Socso and offer them full-time employment instead as they are risking it all to make deliveries every day.
&ldquo;In Malaysia, we have one of the highest (road) accident rates in the world and when they (the riders) get involved in an accident, what happens is that they do not have insurance and medical coverage. And if they are unable to work, they will lose their source of income. If they are unable to work for a long period of time, there is no compensation or protection that should be protected by Socso,&rdquo; said Strategy Director of PKR Youth, Bryan Ng Yih Miin.
It's great to see AirAsia put the effort in hiring full-timers for those working in the gig economy sector. Now we shall see what their competitors have to say about it.

airasia Offers Regions First Full-Time Employment For Gig Riders!

Growing up, before the time of the internet, many of us tend to go out a lot and enjoy the best of what the world and mother nature can offer us. We also did watch movies growing up on TV and that&rsquo;s only if our parents allowed us to stay up.
Good times, right?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664181375/unsigned/tqkbkq341mii39pemsqx.png" />
&nbsp;
In fact, when growing up, some of us may have known a book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid which was very popular till it received its own movie. The movie was played by actor Ryan Grantham who&rsquo;s also featured in popular Netflix series, Riverdale.
Ryan Grantham sentenced to life in Jail
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664181380/unsigned/e7dazcnwr8kh9iri2kzh.webp" />
&nbsp;
New York Times had reported that Grantham who&rsquo;s 24 had been sentenced on Wednesday after pleading guilty earlier this year to second-degree murder. In fact, he had murdered his own mother after shooting her in their home in Canada.
&lsquo;I killed my mother&rsquo;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664181395/unsigned/jatbhbcxhs1cvguvhgdk.webp" />
&nbsp;
On 31 March 2020, Grantham was 21 at the time when he had shot his mother, Barbara Waite in the back of the head while she was playing the piano. Shortly after the murder, he had recorded a video where he confessed of committing the crime saying &ldquo;I shot her in the back of the head. In the moments after, she would have known it was me.&rdquo;
Grantham had later got himself intoxicated and smoked marijuana. From there, he had packed his car along with guns, ammunition and 12 Molotov cocktails as well as camping supplies and explained that he had planned on murdering Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at his Rideau Cottage residence.
Grantham had drove 200 kilometres east towards the town of Hope but had later drove to a Vancouver police station to turn himself in. As he walked through the doors of the station, he had told an officer &ldquo;I killed my mother.&rdquo;
During Grantham&rsquo;s court hearing, he admitted that he had considered committing an act of mass violence at either Simon Fraser University where he was a student or even at Vancouver&rsquo;s Lions Gate Bridge.
Suffering from mental health issues
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664181422/unsigned/mlz8jmyatlc2d9prqa8o.webp" />
&nbsp;
Following the murder of his mother, his attorney Chris Johnson had stated that Grantham had been suffering from serious mental health issues.
&ldquo;The psychiatrists agreed that at the time of this horrendous event he was suffering from a major depressive disorder and a cannabis abuse disorder, among other things,&rdquo; said Johnson.
Grantham has been in custody for two and a half years and ever since then, he has been participating in a mental health program since his arrest.
Its time for everyone to understand that mental health issues are no joke. In fact, our Ministry of Health says that 1 in 3 Malaysians also suffer form mental health issues and many of them are between the age of 16-19 and come from low-income families.

'Diary Of A Wimpy Kid' Actor Ryan Grantham Sentenced To Life Behind Bars

We Malaysians know very well how bad our traffic is around the city centre. In fact, our public transport system has also been pretty &ldquo;sloppy&rdquo; lately due to it still being under maintenance.
In fact, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri had announced that Malaysia aims to have at least 50% of its population to start using and relying on public transport by 2040. Despite maintenance work happening and works to chance the trains to a 4-carriage train, there&rsquo;s still issues where our own infrastructure is badly maintained which cause inconveniences for many.

At least our public transport is fairly priced in comparison to other countries where it tends to be pricy, or is it?
Comparison between KLIA Express&rsquo; Rail Vs Thailand&rsquo;s
Recently, Samantha Chong had tweeted out a price comparison between KLIA Express and Thailand&rsquo;s train which brings passengers to the airport.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Malaysia 🇲🇾 KLIA express from KL Sentral to KLIA: 28 minutes (59km), RM55. Thailand 🇹🇭 Airport link from Phaya Thai station to Suvarnabhumi Airport (28 km): 30 minute, 45 THB / RM5.50
&mdash; Samantha Chong 🇲🇾 (@Samantha__chong) <a href="https://twitter.com/Samantha__chong/status/1572939715741102081?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Samantha had revealed the difference in price between the two and revealed that a commute from KL Sentral to KLIA that&rsquo;s 28 minutes long will cost RM55. Meanwhile, the commute from Phaya Thai Station to Suvarnabhumi Airport that&rsquo;s 30 minutes long cost only 45 baht (RM5.50)!
&nbsp;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664174181/unsigned/vqvahk4lrp3iorc278rl.png" /> Left: Thailand&rsquo;s Rail Train.&nbsp; Right: KLIA Express Transit Train.
&nbsp;
To think that there&rsquo;s a price difference of RM49.50 and funny enough, Samantha had also poked stating how clean the Suvarnabhumi Airport was.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Even the floor clearing robot in Suvarnabhumi airport is smiling 😂🤣 Truly the Land of Smiles <a href="https://t.co/dFNX1kexv8">pic.twitter.com/dFNX1kexv8</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Just for fun, the comparison of a train ticket from Incheon Airport to Seoul only cost 9,500 won (~RM30.51)
Many agree to how expensive our public transport is
With the tweet gaining the attention on social media, many agreed with Samantha&rsquo;s view on how expensive the fare is. In fact, some even say that the fare is unreasonable. I&rsquo;m pretty sure it&rsquo;s actually cheaper to drive to the airport than taking the train in all honesty.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments by netizens:
One netizen compared the monthly pass fare to being equivalent to paying the monthly loan of an Axia.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
It shud be the basic thing that the government should provide. Look at Lrt, what service do we got when we pay a small amount. Very bad service.
&mdash; KO (@calyda91) <a href="https://twitter.com/calyda91/status/1573107196359225344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664174320/unsigned/jitvmniq0gtuohhh9wjf.png" />
&nbsp;
When checking KLIA Express&rsquo; official website, the monthly pass will cost RM420 which is a lot when you think of it.
Another netizen also commented that their monthly pass from Putrajaya Sentral to KL Sentral is costly (RM350). The pass also limits passengers to 44 rides per month. Despite it taking only a short time, it&rsquo;s noted that peak hours will see the train packed with commuters.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Yes quite expensive. Monthly pass from Putrajaya Sentral to KL Sentral is RM350 and limited to 44 rides per month. But the advantage it&rsquo;s only take around 20 minutes which is very short time. Even at this price, every peak hour the train is still full.
&mdash; B E T T (@encikbett) <a href="https://twitter.com/encikbett/status/1573111040682119168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Even trips from other destinations are cheaper.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Heathrow to Leicester Square - 1 hour, RM28-ish.
&mdash; Andrew Ong (@andrew_ongkh) <a href="https://twitter.com/andrew_ongkh/status/1573150180706496512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2022</a></blockquote>
Now the real argument of price comes to play, is RM55 worth it for a trip that will now take 40 minutes? As one netizen shared the expensive price is in place to help save time rather than taking a longer commute of driving to the airport.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
It is now combined. I heard it is 40 minutes instead of 28 minutes now? <a href="https://t.co/BRwLnBUvrs">pic.twitter.com/BRwLnBUvrs</a>
&mdash; Samantha Chong 🇲🇾 (@Samantha__chong) <a href="https://twitter.com/Samantha__chong/status/1573099107669114880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Samantha explains that this time around, the entire trip will amount to 40 minutes of travel time as they had combined both the KLIA Express and Transit line together.
Sometimes, its just best to drive around to get to our destination but if there&rsquo;s bad traffic then yes, it makes more sense to use public transport. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

KLIA Express’ Rail Link Fare Priced Unreasonably In Comparison To Thailand’s Train

Online businesses would require a special licence as the government planned to curb cybercrime, revealed Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid.&nbsp;
A special group was set up to review the existing law for the implementation of a new licensing mechanism.
&ldquo;Online business and digital transactions are becoming a trend. It is important to ensure digital transactions and online businesses on platforms such as marketplace, social media, websites and shopping apps are conducive and safe besides being user-friendly.
&ldquo;We also plan to amend existing regulations to allow for the new licensing mechanism,&rdquo; he told English newspaper The Star.
According to Datuk Rosol Wahid, the ministry would take references from the ways other countries such as the United States, China, Singapore and Saudi Arabia monitor online businesses when plotting the mechanism of the special licence.&nbsp;
&ldquo;The ministry is engaging online platform providers, consumer and seller associations, academicians and economists to ensure that every aspect, including consumer and seller protection and enforcement, can be effectively carried out,&rdquo; he said, emphasising that there have been responses concurring the establishment of the special licence.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664164362/unsigned/jlkkgoek7l4wjmjlueys.png" />

<h2>Scams Involving Online Transactions</h2>
These three years have seen the surge of complaints on scams about online transactions.&nbsp;
&ldquo;For the record, of the total 34,681 complaints in 2020, 11,511 were about online transactions. In 2021, of 27,469 reports received, 11,463 were related to online transactions.
&ldquo;So far this year, 15,957 complaints have been received with 4,760 related to online transactions,&rdquo; he said.
He added that this signals the need to tighten the current regulations to govern the rights of consumers and traders.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664164403/unsigned/pz53yidzcscggeeorzg0.png" />

<h2>Current Laws That Can Prevent Online Scams</h2>
While waiting for the new legislation, there are existing laws that can be applied by the government to take actions against online scammers, said Rosol.&nbsp;
Section 2 of the Registration of Business Act 1956 demands online businesses to be registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia.
Violating such an act will result in the imprisonment for two years and a fine of RM 50,000 or both.&nbsp;
It is also mandatory for online businesses to exhibit their company names, business registration number, email, phone number or business address, description of goods or services, full price with the inclusion of shipping fee, freight, and tax as well as terms and conditions and estimated delivery time.&nbsp;
The failure to display them would be criminalised under the 2012 Consumer Protection Regulations (Electronic Trade Transaction).
The first-time offenders need to pay maximum fines of up to RM 50,000 or be jailed for not exceeding three years or both. Meanwhile, businesses could receive a sentence of double maximum fine.
Those infringing the law for two times or more would be punished with a fine of the maximum amount of RM 100,000 or the imprisonment of not more than five years of both while businesses would be fined RM 200,000.&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664164418/unsigned/qnkfyc2hepnoybvxh2jg.png" />

<h2>How To Avoid Online Scams&nbsp;</h2>
Rosol disclosed that the ministry also helped to curb the cases of online scams by creating advocacy and education programmes for consumers, building a platform for them to share tips on preventing people from being fooled by online scams.
It should be noted that scams occur frequently in the online world these days. Consumers should heighten their awareness when it comes to transactions, trying to opt for online shops that have a high and good reputation.&nbsp;
As online transactions have become a norm, it would be difficult for us to distinguish those legitimate companies.&nbsp;
Hopefully, with the enforcement of this new law, consumers&rsquo; benefits would be safeguarded.&nbsp;

A Special Licence Is Needed For All Online Businesses To Prevent Cybercrime!

Mesti kita tertanya-tanya kan, sama ada menteri dan orang-orang besar ini akan diletakkan di bilik khas ketika dicampakkan ke penjara ataupun tidak. Maklumlah, pengaruh drama korea tu kuat sangat!
Oleh itu, ramai yang mempersoalkan keberadaan Najib yang kini berada di hospital untuk mendapatkan rawatan. Adakah itu sebahagian dari &lsquo;layanan istimewa&rsquo; yang rakyat fikirkan?
Tidak. Itulah jawapan yang diberikan oleh Menteri Kesihatan, Khairy Jamaluddin.
<img src="https://apicms.thestar.com.my/uploads/images/2022/04/18/1555598.jpg" alt="Covid-19: No compulsion to take second booster shot, says Khairy | The Star" width="653" height="465" />

Katanya Najib hanya dilayan sama seperti banduan lain yang memerlukan rawatan doktor. Semua prosedur&nbsp; yang dilakukan ke atas Najib adalah prosedur biasa yang diperlakukan ke atas banduan lain.
Pada awalnya, Najib diurjuk ke Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) atas masalah kesihatan yang dihadapinya, lalu dia juga menjalani beberapa ujian kesihatan yang lain. Beliau menjelaskan:
&ldquo;Susulan itu, beliau dirujuk ke Hospital Rehabilitasi Cheras kerana rawatan susulannya memerlukan fisioterapi.
"Beliau akan diajar bagaimana untuk melakukan (fisioterapi) sendiri, kerana beliau akan dibenarkan keluar sebaik sahaja pakar berpuas hati dengan keadaan kesihatannya."
Jadi korang tak perlu risaulah!
<img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/SBm5Xj6E1iFaNA4l5g/giphy.gif" alt="Mm Ok GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" width="203" height="169" />
Khairy juga menegaskan bahawa Kementerian Kesihatan menjalankan tugas secara profesional.
&ldquo;Kita buat ini supaya tidak timbul pertikaian daripada keluarga Najib atau Najib sendiri bahawa tiada rawatan (perubatan) diberikan, jadi kita selesaikan semua pemeriksaan yang telah diminta,&rdquo; kata Khairy pada sidang media semalam.
Tambahnya, "sebaik sahaja doktor, berdasarkan pertimbangan profesional mereka, kata dia (Najib) boleh discaj, dia akan dihantar balik ke Kajang.&rdquo;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://img.astroawani.com/2020-04/71588254611_TBNoorHishamAbdulla.jpg" alt="Fakta menarik anda perlu tahu tentang Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah | Astro Awani" />

Namun, beliau tidak dapat memberikan waktu khususnya, yang pasti Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah memaklumkan bahawa, doktor pakar kini sedang menyediakan rekod perubatan Najib untuk dijelaskan kepada keluarganya kelak.
Untuk pengetahuan, semenjak Najib dijatuhi hukuman dan dendanya, tular khabar angin bahawa Najib akan dipindahkan ke Hospital Rehabilitasi Cheras (CRH) untuk mendapatkan layanan VVIP.
Mesej yang tular di WhatsApp itu kemudiannya tular di facebook:

Walaupun telah dibuktikan tentang ketatnya undang-undang Malaysia yang tidak mengira latar belakang dan jawatan seseorang, rakyat tetap sahaja bingung dan mempersoalkan kerajaan dan badan-badan berwajib.
Mana taknya, masyarakat kita belum biasa lagi dengan tindakan undang-undang tersebut. Harapnya apa yang berlaku pada Najib ini diambil iktibar oleh semua pihak, baik rakyat mahupun pemimpin-pemimpin negara.&nbsp;
Dengan itu, rakyat sekalian terutamanya anak muda perlulah cakna dan meneliti apa yang sedang berlaku di sekeliling kita. Jangan hanya menerima dan menyebarkannya!

New Zealand strives to pass a bill that ensures the government uses clear and concise language in conveying information to the public.&nbsp;
The bill passed its second reading last month in Parliament, however, there will still be another voting session before it can be legitimated as a law.&nbsp;
&ldquo;&lsquo;I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o&rsquo;er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils&rsquo;,&rdquo; MP Sarah Pallett recited the poem - &lsquo;I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud&rsquo; by William Wordsmith during the reading.&nbsp;
&nbsp;&ldquo;Beautiful,&rdquo; she said.&nbsp; &ldquo;Basically: &lsquo;I was feeling sad. I went for a walk. I saw a lot of beautiful daffodils, and they cheered me right up&rsquo; &ndash; good old Wordsworth. But that is the place for flowery, inaccessible language &ndash; in poetry and literature, and not in government legislation.&rdquo;
MP Rachel Boyack also resonated with this sentiment as she believed the usage of plain language can deliver the government's message better, saying: &ldquo;People living in New Zealand have a right to understand what the government is asking them to do, and what their rights are, what they&rsquo;re entitled to from the government.&rdquo;&nbsp;

<h2>Annual Language Award</h2>
Interestingly, it is not New Zealand&rsquo;s first attempt to encourage the utilisation of succinct language in creating the government's documents and communicating with the public.&nbsp;
In fact, a plain language award is held annually, which will be given to the department that relays meaning in the least complicated manner. It also includes a &ldquo;best sentence transformation&rdquo; trophy that challenges writers to simplify a sentence while keeping its essence lucid.&nbsp;
For example, the changes made by the Statistic Department, which won the prize:&nbsp;
Before Over the year we tested the innovation readiness and change-adaptability of the organisation, made significant changes to our prioritisation and investment approaches, moved to activity based working and seen teams across Stats respond by making time to focus on tackling customer and internal pain points.&rdquo;
After&nbsp; We tested how ready our organisation was to innovate and make changes. We also changed our approach to setting priorities and to investing, and moved to a flexible working style for our staff. In response, staff focused on solving their own, and customers&rsquo;, irritations.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2>Long And Complex Sentences Can Prevent People From Understanding Their Rights In Society&nbsp;</h2>
Lynda Harris, the director of plain language consultancy Write Ltd. Government who launched the awards said that government&rsquo;s communications can be a huge factor in propelling changes in people&rsquo;s lives, which encompass their immigration status, marital status, registration to welfare programmes, and employment status.
The issues voiced out by people to the government tend to &ldquo;describe their frustration tears, anger, because they have just tried to get a thing done,&rdquo; she added.&nbsp;
If the government's messages are unable to be understood clearly, people couldn&rsquo;t access services that are provided to them, prompting them to lose touch with their own rights. This especially affects people whose first language is not English and those who do not access proper education the most, as they struggle to understand complicated language.&nbsp;

<h2>Why Do People Defy The Law?&nbsp;</h2>
New Zealand&rsquo;s Opposition National Party argued that it would induce the rising of bureaucracy cost due to the need to establish a section governing the use of language while the positive effects of such a change is not guaranteed.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Let me speak with extremely plain language,&rdquo; said National MP Chris Bishop. &ldquo;This bill is the stupidest bill to come before parliament in this term. National will repeal it.&rdquo;
Responding to this, Labour&rsquo;s government rebuked that statement, claiming that the outcome would be palpable in the long run.

<h2>Can The Law Really Ascertain The Clear Transmission Of Messages?</h2>
&ldquo;The language is a vehicle. It&rsquo;s just a means to an end,&rdquo; says Harris: it should tell people what happened, who was responsible, and what can be done.
Nevertheless, Political scientist William Schneider suggested that it has been used to <a href="https://archive.ph/20121209180642/http://iis-db.stanford.edu/evnts/4763/Overview_Where_Mistakes_Were_Made.pdf">lurk responsibilities</a>, for instance, omitting the parties that are involved by using passive form and past tense.&nbsp;
This can be perceived in an announcement of a Los Angeles police officer: &ldquo;The officers encountered a male suspect &hellip; at which time an officer-involved shooting occurred,&rdquo; ambivalently turning the public&rsquo;s minds from the active agents in that incident.&nbsp;
Despite the argument regarding the clarification of meaning through the use of plain language, linguist Dr Andreea Calude offers another view in relation to this topic.&nbsp;
She said: &ldquo;Language is not an objective view of reality.&rdquo;
&ldquo;We all use language to try and frame the kind of scene that we&rsquo;re describing in the way that suits us.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Simple language might be difficult to play with rhetoric, yet creativity can always be found to fabricate deliberate ambiguity if intended.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think plain language can really solve that problem. As long as humans are creative and playful and inventive, I think they&rsquo;ll find ways around it.&rdquo;

<h2>What About Malaysia And The Use Of Language In The Government&rsquo;s Papers And Legal Context?</h2>
Around the globe, legal and government documents are often written in a formal tone with many jargons. Surely, Malaysia isn't exempt from that.&nbsp;
What makes the issue of language more complex in Malaysia is our multi-ethnical and cultural society.&nbsp;
Malay, the national language, is used primarily for the government&rsquo;s official documents under <a href="http://lib.perdana.org.my/PLF/GOVERNMENT%20PUBLICATION/Publication%20Laws%20of%20Malaysia%20(L.O.M)/National%20Language%20Act%201963-67%20%5BAct%2032%5D.pdf">The National Language Act (NLA) </a>in Section 2 with a few exceptions.&nbsp;
The same act also ensures the use of Malay in courts while communicating in English is permissible in certain contexts.&nbsp;
Due to the multicultural setting in Malaysia, some people could have a hard time to fully acknowledge the contents drafted by the government, particularly for those who do not receive proper education at school, as the official language Malay is not their mother tongue.&nbsp;
From this angle, complex sentences that appear like puzzles do not serve a purpose to inform the public.&nbsp;
Yet, there seems to be no consensual conclusion about the effects of simplified language on the public. In this regard, New Zealand could be experimental in making such a move pushed by their concern with linguistics in political context. Will Malaysia and other countries follow it one day?
What do you think about this law? Do you think language can make a huge impact on people&rsquo;s lives?&nbsp;

If this law is passed, people can avoid being clueless about the messages passed by the government.
