I didn't expect something magnificent to organically manifest itself in the comments section of the photo. I beamed in pride as I watched the comments come in, reflecting multilingual Malaysia. This was a rare occurrence, kind of like when you stumble upon a rare pokemon. Usually, people comment in English because (1) I'm an English teacher, & (2) 90% of the posts I make are in English.

All languages are welcome! We celebrate multilingualism in Malay
