Strongly agree

No, we should embrace the diversity that immigrants add to our country

DAP has historically championed the rights of ethnic minorities and the preservation of cultural diversity in Malaysia. Embracing the diversity that immigrants add to the country aligns closely with the party's core values and its vision for a multicultural and inclusive Malaysia.

Agree

Yes, but the government should provide free language learning courses

Supporting immigrants in learning the Malay language through free language learning courses is a balanced approach that aligns with DAP's principles of integration, multiculturalism, and support for minority rights. It promotes unity while also respecting and supporting the diverse backgrounds of immigrants.

Agree

Yes

The Democratic Action Party (DAP) in Malaysia generally supports policies that promote integration while respecting Malaysia's multicultural identity. Requiring immigrants to learn the Malay language could be seen as a step towards integration. However, DAP's strong advocacy for multiculturalism and minority rights suggests they might not fully agree without additional measures to support immigrants' diverse backgrounds.

Slightly disagree

No

DAP, being a proponent of multiculturalism and diversity, might lean towards allowing immigrants to maintain their linguistic identity. However, given the importance of Bahasa Malaysia as the national language for integration and unity in a multicultural society, they are unlikely to fully oppose some level of language acquisition for immigrants.

Strongly disagree

No, but remove multilingual translations from government documents and services

Removing multilingual translations from government documents and services would contradict DAP's longstanding commitment to linguistic and cultural diversity. Such a policy would likely be viewed as detrimental to the rights of non-Malay-speaking communities, including immigrants, which DAP has historically championed.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and remove multilingual translations from government documents and services

This stance is in direct opposition to DAP's advocacy for a multicultural and multilingual society. The party has consistently opposed policies that could marginalize non-Malay languages and cultures, making it highly unlikely they would support removing multilingual translations from government documents and services.
